Via Transito

One diner chose cream pasta with salmon and asparagus for lunch, then rounded off the meal with amaretto, coffee and two kinds of gelato. At Via Transito, there is pleasure in choosing a little at a time, from the main course to something sweet. Another diner recalled pasta with chicken liver, cheese and red wine as a memorable lunch, and also praised the dark-roast coffee served afterwards. Other options mentioned include red-wine pasta, pasta with beans and cheese, and pasta with aubergine and tomato. Menus can change, so check what is available when you visit; then decide whether to go for a creamy sauce or a combination of ingredients.

Some diners have had a lunch set that comes with pasta, salad and a drink. Another chose a lunch with salad and coffee, and added gelato. If you are in the mood for something sweet, dessert is worth considering too. One diner who tried the cheesecake felt that its cheese flavour was not overpowering, and noted its coffee-flavoured base and crisp texture. Even if pasta is the focus of lunch, there is room for one more course afterwards.

Among diners who tried the pizza and pasta, some found the pizza quite hard in texture. If you prefer a softer base, you might choose pasta as the centrepiece of your meal. Other menu options mentioned include a salad with prosciutto and cheese, and gratin pasta; vegetarian options are also listed.

One diner reported that the owner cooks alone, and that dishes can take time to arrive at lunch. Others have enjoyed chatting with the owner at the counter or found the restaurant a relaxing place to dine solo. It is better suited to a leisurely meal than a quick stop. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner on weekdays. Reservations are available, and booking is recommended for dinner.
