We came across Vai after walking around looking for an early place to eat.

Only commenting on reservations for this restaurant and not food: I booked this restaurant about 2-3 weeks ago for a group dinner and just found out today

Great food and service. Very friendly staff and very accommodating for our two children. We all ate until we were full and went into our pockets with two more meals worth of food. Great neighborhood restaurant and good Italian food. I would recommend the Calimari as a starter who can keep up with the best that Chicago has to offer. 10 out of 10 experiences we will come back! ????????

I haven't been back in a few years. I wanted a comfortable place to spend an evening with friends. Reminds of Via Veneto ... and it didn't disappoint! Cool, comfortable and the food was wonderful! We will come back!

Vai, an Italian restaurant, has recently undergone a transformation and shifted more towards Thai cuisine, a change that some diners found disappointing. Despite the shift, the restaurant still offers good service. However, a negative experience was reported by a diner who had a severe allergic reaction to garlic despite informing the restaurant in advance. On a more positive note, other diners found the food to be tasty, particularly recommending the Parmigiano veal. The restaurant received praise for its cozy atmosphere, accommodating service, and delicious dishes. A special fixed menu option was highlighted as a unique and superb dining experience for special occasions. In general, Vai was commended for its fresh ingredients, attention to detail, and the ability to cater to different occasions and group sizes. Overall, the restaurant received a mix of reviews ranging from disappointing experiences to outstanding meals, making it a place worth trying out for any type of dining occasion.

My favorite place on the Upper West Side! The food quality is exceptional; I've tried everything! From the tuna tartare to the burrata ravioli, the branzino with brown butter sauce, the short rib, and scallops—I could keep going... every dish is incredible! The atmosphere is also charming and intimate, making it perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date.

Delicious food and friendly staff. The happy hour was a delightful surprise, offering three oysters with the purchase of a drink.

Absolutely outstanding! The Crab Spaghettini was delightful, and the Burrata Ravioli was simply heavenly. The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere, making it ideal for a dinner for two. We had a wonderful evening.

This is the place that mixes beautiful ambiance with exquisite dishes that are as pleasing to the eye as they're a sensuous feast to the palate. And on top of all that, they go out of their way to make special occasions truly special. Thank you, Chef Vincent Chirico and the Vai team for making my birthday night truly memorable on Nov. 2nd. Grazie mille.
