This restaurant is outstanding! The manager couldn’t be more professional and nice. The food is nothing less than sensational! Ambiance is lovely! The service was extraordinary! This restaurant is a MUST when you’re in Miami! Can’t wait to return! Love it love it!!!

My friends loved dining with you They especially loved the octopus, pastas and prosciutto and melon they said was the best they ever had They were amazed at the authenticity of Via Emilia And we all loved the all Italian wine list

The service was amazing and my waitress was a big help with her recommendations!

Wow! The presentation and excellence of the food far surpasses most. I started with the Buddalicious Martini which came out with a Buddha statue and bubbling over with Nitro liquid and lights! It was good, but not sure it was worth the $36 price tag bit the experience alone made it pretty special! We then moved onto appetizers and had the lobster and shrimp popsicle. My family LOVED it. Very big portion and they were crispy and had delicious sauces to dip into. We ordered entrees family style- the short rib which was superb, the filet, the Bougie Pasta was OUTSTANDING WHICH CHUNKS of lobster, crab, and HUGE shrimp in a creamy sauce. For sides we indulged in parmesan truffle fries, fingerling potatoes, lobster mac & cheese. All in all we were very satisfied, but couldn’t leave without trying one of their spectacular desserts. We were celebrating my birthday, so dessert was a must! We ordered the million dollar dessert, which was a gold brick of dark chocolate mousse smothered in marshmallow with a graham cracker crust. It comes to the table with a huge million dollar bill and a torch in the hand of the waiter. They torch the outside so that the marshmallow gets all melted, and the whole thing tastes like a huge delicious s’more! It was fabulous! All in all we had a great time and I would highly recommend this restaurant for a fun and spectacular experience with very delicious food. Side note-  The only thing that I would suggest to the manager or owner is when we first got there and wanted to order a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. They were out of the bottle we requested. They came back to the table and then offered a different bottle which cost $40 more than the bottle we had wanted. If they were out of the wine we wanted they should have offered us a different bottle at the same price, regardless of what the listed price was. That little extra bit of Customer Service would’ve gone a long way.

Fantastic from start to finish! The somm helped us choose a fun wine that went great with all of the food. He also recommended some of his favorite dishes. The food was beyond expectations, we didn’t have one mediocre thing. We ordered the smacked cucumber salad, shrimp toast, chicken dumplings, general tso’s chicken, rice rolls, ginger scallion fish, four foot noodle, and we had to try all 3 desserts. All were phenomenal and the service really was impeccable. Can’t wait to go back!!!
