" I had high hopes for Via Emilia after hearing great things, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The service felt rushed, and our waiter was hard to catch during the meal. The food was decent but lacking the flavors I expected. I might give it another try, as I did hear many rave reviews, but it wasn't my best experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really appreciated the cozy feel of this place, but the service was lacking during our visit. After we were seated, it took quite a while before anyone acknowledged us. The pasta I ordered was good but not what I expected. Portions were decent, but I felt like I left a little hungry. Might return if I hear things have improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here for a quick lunch and the service was surprisingly slow despite the fact that it wasn't too busy. I ordered the pappardelle, and while it was tasty, I think the portion size left me desiring more. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a nice date. I hope my next visit is better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Via Emilia and was impressed overall. The Eggplant Emilia was divine and totally worth each bite! However, my friend's chicken dish was just a bit bland. The ambiance was lovely, yet a little cramped. Despite these small issues, I would still recommend this place to anyone looking for Italian comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply a delightful experience! The dishes were inventive and paid homage to Roman classics. We particularly loved the chicken piccata and eggplant dishes. Excellent service that didn't interfere with the flow of conversation during a romantic dinner. This was our first visit, and we will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the ideal place for lovers of Italian cuisine! The handmade gnocchi is a must-try, incredibly authentic and just melts in your mouth. The waitstaff were helpful and created a lovely atmosphere that felt welcoming. The only downside was the noise level from other diners, but I would gladly deal with it for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have very mixed feelings about Via Emilia. The atmosphere is lovely, but the portion sizes were surprisingly small for the prices. I ordered a dish I expected to be hearty, but it left me hungry. The service was okay, but there was a little wait for our plates. It’s not a bad place, but next time I'll manage my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
