I've worked in the Back Bay for three years now and Viga has always been a convenient place to stop by for the occasional lunch slice (or two). I've only gone on the pizza line since the other lines (salads/wraps, etc) get pretty long, especially during the weekday lunch rush. They offer a few special slices depending on the day of the week - but whatever you get, be sure to get it heated up to provide that satisfying crispy bottom and crust. For as long as I'm working in the area - Viga will always be towards the top of my lunch destination list.

Good spot for reliable quick-serve sandwiches and Italian. Quality can sometimes be an issue.
Buffalo chicken wrap and chicken club are favorites. Chicken parm is usually good, but they really need to be more consistent with sauce. Recent order only had minimal. -

I enjoy Viga pasta and sandwich shop
as fast and inexpensive take out.
The food is good, but not remarkably so.
The prices are excellent for Back Bay.
The staff is friendly and attentive.
THE DEAL: do watch them make your order
To be sure you get what you think you ordered.
I ordered the "Thanksgiving" sandwich,
Which they offer on their regular menu.
I did not check it until we got home,
and ONLY got turkey on cranberry spread.
At the very least, it should include stuffing. -

Breakfast sandwich with one freshly fried egg, slice of Swiss cheese and sausage on a wheat English muffin--for $4.25! So cheap and it was really good. The actual restaurant is very clean too with really nice staff. I haven't tried anything else but will hopefully go back for the pizza station or sandwich!

You can find Viga Italian Eatery at 140 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA 02116. Viga caters many events for the Boston location of my current employer and as such, I sampled a couple of packaged lunches (well, actually one packaged sandwich lunch and one "sampler" style lunch with sandwich halves) while visiting just before Halloween. So this review is specific to those items I ate and only orthogonal to the restaurant location. I'm not sure if this is the location that produces the catered food, but it is the closest to the office and wins the lottery.
Lunch number one was a Milano grilled chicken breast sandwich with homemade dill sauce, romaine and tomatoes. This was served on what was either a ciabatta or Italian baguette with thinly sliced chicken - the sandwich was about 9-10 inches long and quite filling. Taste-wise it was good but nothing special. The bag also held Sun Chips, a White Macadamia Nut Cookie, a Viga-printed mint, a moist towelette and a package holding knife/fork/salt/pepper.
Lunch number two was more of a catered- platter affair with several veg and non-veg quarter-sandwiches. I tried the roast and it was quite good - I also had something like a Caprese salad-on-a-role that was rather innocuous and pretty much tasteless. If I had my druthers I would have loaded up on salad but for some reason that part of the cater went upstairs.
In all, the food was very reminiscent of some of the local Atlanta chains like Panera Bread or similar. I'm betting the food would be much better on-location - it seems my Boston office caters quite a bit from Viga so there must not be many complaints.
