Via Emilia is a hidden gem that serves exceptional Italian cuisine in a cozy and romantic atmosphere. The restaurant offers excellent service, with knowledgeable staff who cater to dietary restrictions, including gluten-free pasta options. The menu features delicious dishes like pesto gnocchi and short rib ragu papardelle, accompanied by expertly crafted cocktails like the espresso martini. The staff makes guests feel at home, creating a warm and inviting environment, perfect for a memorable dining experience. The food is generally good, with standout dishes such as the cappelletti in tomato sauce and the veal porterhouse, which is cooked and seasoned well. Homemade bread, served with ricotta, chickpea mash, and garlic confit, is a highlight, though it is recommended to warm it up. The drinks menu is good, and the espresso martini is especially enjoyed. There are vegetarian options available, with several choices in each section, and good vegetarian dishes like the mozzarella appetizer and the eggplant dish, though some prefer less cheese and warmer bread. Parking is easy, with free street parking or nearby paid lots. Overall, Via Emilia is a great place to enjoy Italian food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere, making it a must-visit for those in Mystic.
