Via Marina Wood Fired Pizza Italian Cafe

Restaurant review: I had a dinner at this restaurant where the price per person ranged from $30 to $50. The food was rated a 2 out of 5, the service was rated a 4 out of 5, and the atmosphere was rated a 3 out of 5.

My family may think otherwise, but Marinas is the true reason I visit Washington! The service used to be a bit arrogant and pretentious, but the current staff members are absolutely wonderful!! They are friendly and attentive to every detail. The prawns Positano dish is indescribably delicious. The chef frequently comes out to ensure everything is perfect for the customers and remembers everyone. If you find yourself in Des Moines and don't eat here, well, I can't even finish that thought... As for parking, it can get crowded, but there is always a spot available.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. We were not greeted warmly when we arrived, had to wait around 10 minutes before we were even given water, and the food was flavorless with soggy pizza. It was a tough night for us overall. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a 1 out of 5.

Excellent food and amazing service! The staff are wonderful!

This is my favorite restaurant ever now, the best food I've eaten outside Italy. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the staff and atmosphere and attention to detail add to the dine in experience too, but if I could afford to get my every meal here dine in or take out, I would. Best focaccia I have ever had. I would go just for that. Amazing cocktails too Good option also for sensory issues (migraines/sound sensitivity/crowds) and good disability access. I can take anyone I know here happily. Vegetarian options: The pasta here is so incredible and there's so many options to have original vegetarian/vegan dishes and also adapt a menu item to not have meat. Dietary restrictions: They had several options to adjust the menu as needed, however not an expansive gluten free option, or dairy free. Lots of dishes that can align with no pork, no mix dairy meat etc. Parking: Plenty of parking spots and in an area of town where if it is busy there's lots of parking options Wheelchair accessibility: There are a minimum of two wheelchair accessible parking spots with plenty of room for motorized wheelchairs and a ramp vehicle, as well as fairly level entry access. Very low grade 15ft ramp to entryway door. Indoor may be slightly tight navigation based on arrangement of tables, but staff were friendly and attentive, would likely immediately happily adjust. Tables wheelchair accessible indoor and out. Covered patio with heaters. For autism/sensory issues: Sensory levels pretty mild depending on seating. The lighting is pleasantly dim enough to be decent for photosensitivity without limiting visibility (from person with frequent photosensitive migraines) Noise indoors is mild to moderate, quieter on the bar side as long as there's no loud speaking patrons. Some road noise outdoors, but most days it's not loud, especially after 7pm weekdays, very very quiet for lunch on weekends. The tables are all spaced very nicely so there are not cramped feeling or feeling trapped in. It's a very well maintained place and great food.
