Viana’s Italian and Mediterranean Cuisine

Had shrimp & ravioli in blush sauce. It was good but it would have been nice to have a spoon to eat the sauce a little hard to eat with a fork. Asked waitress for water not ice and got more ice because she poured from side of pitcher instead of spout which would have trapped ice and allowed water to flow thru. Only a minor problems but when I go to dinner I want to relax and have things right. Husband had salmon and it was good. Waitress was pleasant but not sure she understood requests. She gave us a $ 5 gift certificate for our next meal. Also I did not order it but Vianas makes the best Chicken Marsala.

Viana’s is a nice little Italian restaurant with great service and a family feel. The food is ok. Not the best but not the worst. Big portions, reasonable prices.
All dishes are served with a salad that has a white balsamic dressing on it. Very delicious! Our server even asked is before she placed our order if we wanted onions in the salad. We appreciate that because half of us did not eat onions.
The dishes are big. Lots of pasta and well cooked. I had the lobster ravioli. You get 5 big ravioli and 2 shrimp in a blush sauce. The sauce was good but the ravioli was just ok. My mom had the cheese ravioli and we thought those were also just ok.
2 people had penne alla vodka, one with chicken on with out. The sauce tastes similar to the lobster ravioli sauce but both boys enjoyed their penne alla vodka. One person had chicken Parmesan which was delicious– one of the favorites from the meal.
Someone else had the chicken and shrimp Adriana special which they enjoyed!
Desserts were a ricotta cheesecake and a pumpkin cheesecake with walnuts. They were just ok.
The service is wonderful. Constantly filling our water and asking if we needed anything. They make a homemade rosmeary bread which is yummy and you can have as much as you’d like.
Great room for parties and events. The food is inconsistent as some dishes were amazing (the chicken parm) and others were just ok (the ravioli). But overall a nice experience!

We brought our own wine. Everyone loved their entre. Food is made fresh and pasta is delicious. Penne with Vodka sauce and chicken was awesome.

Went here for a family dinner and couldn’t have been more impressed. They served Italian food that exceeded my expectations of any restaurant let alone one with dished below $ 50. At a fraction of the cost I might never go anywhere else. My dish was only $ 18 with huge portions and was absolutely delicious. Fantastic small business.

Went here with my gf and parents. Better than Filomenas even we all agreed. The Ahi Tuna is the best I’v ever had. We all shared and enjoyed everything we ordered.

HORRIBLE service. We came here for a baby shower and the guy server was very rude. He first yelled at us because we sat at a table that wasn’t set up yet and was mad he had to grab bread plates and silverware. He then brings out a bread basket and a piece fell out on to the table and picks it up with his hands and puts it back in the bread basket and says «oh don’t worry my hands are clean.» That was totally unsanitary. Told us he would get us our drinks when he had time and when our drinks came out they were in plastic cups. Looked like solo cups. Walking around taking orders he kept huffing and puffing like he didn’t know want to be there. Took one lady’s order by saying «hey you with the glasses on your head» what do you want? Our table thought we were on a hidden TV show. Extremely disappointed.

I was shocked at the indifference this restaurant displayed to us customers. On Sunday May 10^th my wife and I stopped in Viana’s as it was located close to the Lindenwold train station and we were heading into Philadelphia. We had purchased an Amazon Local deal for a $ 30 gift certificate. This seemed like the perfect opportunity for us to have a nice dinner and try something new. As soon as we entered the restaurant we should have turned around and walked out.
We arrived a little after 5:00 to a completely empty restaurant. The hostess, who was hard to understand, asked if we had a reservation. We said no and acted as if it was a hassle to try and fit us in. Again, the restaurant was completely empty and there was even a room to right with empty tables and lights off. They choose to sit us in the corner of the empty restaurant directly under the TV. Immediately after sitting down a man awkwardly stood next to our table fumbling with the TV remote. It was several minutes before we a waitress came by. From there it got worse.
We presented our Amazon Local certificate and she said she would take it later and left it sitting on our table. She then began to read us the specials and couldn’t have been more bored doing so. She then left without taking a drink order. She returned later with some bread and took our order, I had the chicken marsala, my wife had the stuffed salmon. I will say the bread was amazing and the highlight of the meal. The meals came with house salads which she returned with a little while later. The salad was fresh but poorly cut up, large pieces of lettuce and thick onion. This would have been ok but the silverware was so cheap when you applied pressure to try and cut you could feel the metal start to bend. Plastic flatware would have been preferred.
At this point we’re still the only two people in the restaurant.
The main course came out and my wife was very pleased with her salmon, it did look very good as well. The chicken marsala, a favorite of mine, was another story. The chicken was dry and tough and the marsala sauce was light and thin. There were also very few mushrooms and way too much pasta. We ate our meals and surprisingly 2 other tables filled up now. I hope they had reservations.
When time came to pay the check this is where it all went completely off course. The waitress took our certificate and came back later saying they wouldn’t honor it. Why? It was a holiday-Mother’s Day. We reviewed the certificate and found no mention of exclusions. Additionally, we presented the voucher to the waitress prior to ordering. If they were not going to honor it then they should have said so then and given us an opportunity to leave instead of surprising us with a bill and an attitude. Since we had a train to catch we did not have time to fight it. We paid the full bill and left never to return, making sure all our friends and family know of the dishonest practices of this restaurant. Beside, when the highlight of the meal is the bread then there isn’t much incentive to come back anyway.

I went here by myself on a Living Social deal. I read many good reviews, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to them. I started with the crab stuffed portobello mushroom. Mushroom on bottom, sauteed vegetables in huge pieces (mostly peppers) for the next layer, followed by crab (no real lumps, just shreds that were mixed with something creamy — mayo?) and some cheese on top. The whole thing had no flavor — there was definitely no salt involved. The quality of the crab was what you would expect out of a cheap can, and since it was mixed with something, you couldn’t taste it anyway if it had any flavor to begin with. Then I had the lobster ravioli with shrimp. On the menu, it says it’s in a pesto sauce, but it came out in a blush sauce instead, which I actually prefer so I didn’t complain. There were four large ravioli and two large shrimp. The shrimp were delicious and perfectly cooked. The ravioli stuffing, like the crab in the appetizer, could’ve been anything. There we no pieces of lobster, just shredded white meat that had no flavor. If I hadn’t known it were lobster, I would have guessed canned chicken or bad canned crab. If I order something with lobster in it, I expect it to both look and taste like lobster.
All in all, it was not a good meal. I will not return to this restaurant and I will not recommend it to anyone. I’ve learned that I need to be more careful about buying deals on Living Social.

Outstanding, get the bruschetta unique recipe and
the best I’ve ever had. Fresh out of the oven home
Made bread. Quality from start to finish, atmosphere
and service top notch as well. They stayed open
in a blizzard to accommodate my wife’s birthday.
They also have a cocktails and paint evening and
a mystery dinner theatre coming up.

Visited Viana’s last night for dinner. It was really good!!! The pear and Gorgonzola salad was delicious and so was my main dish Crab Adriana. I enjoyed everything about the food! The place was a little chilly but the service was very kind and we did not feel rushed in the least! Will be going back :)

Everything here is exceptional. From the bread which is homemade cooked in a brick oven. Served warm in a olive oil garlic dipping sauce. Appetizers Toasted Raviolis in a blush sauce, fried Calamari in a Marinara Devoured. as for Entrees I had a Seafood Bisque in place of the complimentary salad .I ordered the special,” Shrimp, Crab, Jumbo Scallops in a lobster butter sauce over risotto «, as my husband also ordered a special,» the Pork Loin in a demi glaze.” For dessert crème brulee, hubby cheese cake. Service exceptional which for a Saturday that is extraordinary

I went here recently on a living social deal. The food was okay. Good but nothing to rave about. The biggest problem was the service. The waitress was not familiar with anything on the menu. She did not even know if the entrees came with pasta. She also brought our dinners and didn’t know the difference between chicken and veal. I might understand if she was busy, but we were her only table. Plus she had a horrible cold and was sniffing the whole time. It took forever for our food to come out and again we were one of three tables and the other two were already served. I know they say cooked to order, but I could have cooked out dinners in one quarter the time. I really would not want to be there if the restaurant was full.

Fried Calamari was below average. Grilled Romaine appetizer was very good. Crab Adriana dinner was also very good. I give this place only three stars because the atmosphere was simply horrible. A flatscreen TV blasting CNN while the restaurant in house music was playing. The owner waited on us, she refilled our water glasses only once when where in need of at least one more. And even then, she pointed to my water glass so I would hand it to her so she could fill it. Overall, I just did not feel very comfortable dining here!

We are regulars at Viana’s and always enjoy our experience and the great food… the tomato sauce is very authentic and fresh and her combo dishes are to die for. Also of note are many of the very tasty soups

Viana’s has a new chef and the food is excellent! My husband got the pork rolletinni and I got the chicken duo. I was beyond happy with both entrees. It was very disappointing to me that on a Friday night we were only one of five tables. I know that the old Viana’s was not the greatest but please give them another try. You won’t regret it!!!

Service is extremely slow and the food was pretty bad. I will not go back.

Ordered here on a whim off of grubhub. Have to say I was impressed. I got the seafood belt and a coworker got the loaded cheese steak. Delivery was fast and the food was amazing. They used real crab, not krab in my belt and he said his sandwich was supergood,. Will def be ordering again

Service was awesome. Food was outstanding. Can’t wait to come back again.

Had a great experience at Viana’s! We had calamari, tilapia, and veal. Everything was very good! The music of the evening was a beautiful mezzo soprano, and as sopranos go, she was a bit loud for the space. Once she finished up, we really enjoyed the quiet charm. The ambiance makes you forget you’re in the echo shoppes! We loved our server Marianna. Since we’re neighbors, we will be back. Loved it!

Terribly inconsistent.
THE GOOD:
Homemade tiramisu — delish
Pumpkin Cheesecake — excellent
Chicken Mediterranean over Risotto — like a chicken picatta very delicious
THE BAD:
An antipasto platter that would be an insult to italian’s everywhere. Chopped up deli-​sliced provolone cheese in a pile. Not kidding.
«Seafood» Bisque that was carrot orange and tasted like salt and… salt.
THE UGLY:
A «Shrimp Scampi» with 5 overcooked shrimp and broccoli that looked like it had cooked for years and left the flavor of broccoli in each and every bite of equally overcooked pasta. I actually took one bite and told my server this was THE WORST THING I HAD EVER BEEN SERVED IN A RESTAURANT. Not an exaggeration.
Pick up desserts to go and save yourself the hassle.
