Vialé - Cambridge

“We came for the oyster happy hour (5–7 PM). The oysters weren’t very large, but they were very fresh and flavorful—we’d definitely come back for them. The carbonara was unfortunately far too salty and hard to enjoy. The meatballs were good, with a firm texture and a rich tomato and cheese flavor. Service was excellent—very attentive and welcoming.”

“Lovely spot! Dollar oysters every day from 5pm to 7pm is hard to beat. Also go the special grilled oysters, very rich and buttery. Mafaldine pasta was also divine. They split the pasta into two plates for us to share without us asking. So so good.”

“Came here on a Tuesday for dollar oysters and a draft craft beer. Was not disappointed. Most likely there’s not many of my breed “hardcore oyster lover” but FYI As of February they’re carrying a breed called “bumamoto” named after Kumamoto oysters, but bred in Barnstable (B for Barnstable, duh bro get it?) not as sweet as Kumamoto but similar texture, def saltier but overall a nice flavor. Props to my bartenders Mark and Kiki for being awesome, and they did a great job upselling me. Will be back here whenever I’m back in Cambridge.”

“I absolutely LOVE this place. I travel over an hour to dine here. The vibes/art and food are immaculate! The owners amazing and an incredible chef. I got the octopus and the Oaxacan drink it was the best mix of flavors. Their oysters are always top quality. Highly recommend!”

“We had dinner at Viale, and it was a great experience. We ordered steak and drinks, and everything was delicious and well prepared. The atmosphere was amazing—cozy, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed night out. Our server, Steve, was awesome—friendly, attentive, and made the night even better. Great food, great environment, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back”
