Review: Viàle Pizza & Kitchen Is a Must-Stop on South Colorado
There’s a first time for everything, and this time it was dancing. Not by me after discovering Viàle Pizza & Kitchen (which would have been unseemly for an anonymous restaurant critic), but by servers in a scene straight out of La La Land.
