Via Mare of America

Via Mare of America brings the prestigious Manila-based restaurant brand to Daly City, offering upscale Filipino dining with an emphasis on quality ingredients and refined presentation. Established in 2011, this location represents the American outpost of a Philippine restaurant chain known for blending traditional Filipino flavors with Spanish colonial influences. The restaurant elevates familiar Filipino dishes through careful preparation and premium ingredients, making it a popular choice for special occasions and family celebrations. Via Mare's signature dish, the crispy pata, receives consistent acclaim for its perfectly tender interior and expertly crunchy exterior - many customers consider it among the best in the Bay Area. Other standouts include the bangus sisig, crispy dilis fried rice featuring tiny dried anchovies, and the rich kare-kare oxtail stew with peanut sauce. The restaurant's spacious interior with vibrant decor accommodates both intimate dinners and large group gatherings, with the ability to host private parties up to 85 people. The extensive menu covers the full spectrum of Filipino cuisine from appetizers like fresh lumpia and calamari to regional specialties like laing (taro leaves in coconut milk) and caldereta (tomato-based stew). The restaurant gets particularly busy on weekends, reflecting its status as a community gathering spot for Filipino-Americans. With its combination of authentic flavors, welcoming atmosphere, and consistently reliable quality, Via Mare of America has established itself as one of Daly City's premier Filipino dining destinations.
