VIA 417 expects to bring authentic Italian cuisine to Jenkintown within the next 14 days. While the final menu touches are forthcoming, owner Izzy Reka and head chef Kelvin Poci plan to serve up a combination of classic and elegant dishes.

“We’re going to have classics that everyone knows,” Izzy said. “The other side of the menu is going to be our interpretation of different ingredients with a modern touch. The restaurant’s inside is going to be elegant and classic combined, too.” VIA 417’s name is a nod to the restaurant’s physical address, 417 Old York Road, and “VIA” is a common Italian expression akin to “Let’s go.”
