Viga — Restaurant in Boston

Pros: Extremely quick service, I was in and out in 2 minutes during weekday lunch rush. Portion size is also great and you get an option of a piece of bread at the register (which is really just a piece of pizza dough, but I appreciated that it was free).

Cons: The food was not so great. While I like mine al dente, this pasta was a bit undercooked. I had high hopes for the eggplant parmigiana, but it was just a mushy mess of breadcrumbs - unseasoned, it seems, because the only seasoning I could taste was salt. I couldn't taste the eggplant at all. The sauce was nothing special, a bit on the bland side as well.

Will probably not come back except perhaps to try a sandwich. I feel pretty let down considering the good things I've heard...

Fantastic sandwiches - even better service

I just ordered from Viga for lunch. There was a mixup on the sandwiches - I got back to my desk and realized I had a buffalo chicken instead of eggplant parm. This would be ok for almost any other sandwich, but I don’t like buffalo flavoring at all.

I called them and they delivered a new sandwich within 15 mins. This was particularly appreciated as I didn’t have time to go back and pick it up. They also threw in a brownie which I didn’t need but will enjoy nevertheless.

Really fantastic experience with a small, local business! And the sandwich was TERRIFIC!...

I work right next door and this has quickly become my top option for getting lunch out. They’ve got everything you could want: cold subs, hot subs, pizza, salads, pasta. It’s served like a food court, a different counter for each type, so it runs very efficiently.

The two sandwiches I recommend the highest are the chicken pesto or the Boccia. Both are found in the cold subs line, though I’ve also enjoyed the chicken parm sub from the hot line. They also run a special that changes periodically but...
