With the Philadelphia marathon this weekend, I hosted a few out of town friends.  There was a simple request for dinner.  Italian restaurant that offers a risotto dish.  With a party of 9, La Viola accommodated my reservation request with about a week's notice.

The venue is intimate and small.  This resulted in not being able to seat us until around 7:40.  Luckily there was space for us to stand and wait and begin our byo-ing in advance.  As it is a BYO expect the restaurant ambiance to be a bit more raucous and loud.  The clientele also trends a bit on the younger side.  Don't be surprised to see byo boxed wine (Franzia)
