Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for groups

Once upon a time an Italian guy proud to be from Emilia-Romagna region, up-north Italy, the region where the home-made egg pasta was originally invented, decided to create a whole restaurant using every single product, pasta recipe, beer and wine that come maniacally and exclusively from his region.
Covering the typical fresh pasta dishes from each Emilian city hand-made in front of you and following the original Grandma’s own recipe and maintaining an outstanding value.
Also Launching the real Gnocco Fritto in London, the typical gently-fried bread to enjoy with meat&cheese.
Offering just 40 covers, Via Emilia is intimate yet light and airy with its traditional white marble and dark stained wood. At 5 minutes walk from Old Street station and 10 from Liverpool Street

Everything is excellent. Some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten. Been quite a few times and will keep coming back. Knocked one star off for value as I booked with an Opentable 20% offer on Tuesday night but the waitress didn’t take the 20% off the bill and I only realised after I got home.

We were on a company dinner and were so lucky to find this place at short notice. We were 15 people and the restaurant offered us the tasting menu, a selection of bread, meats and cheeses to start and 4 different pastas for main. The food was delicious, service was great and my team had a great night! Would recommend Emilia's in a heartbeat.

Unbelievably poor experience to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday as staff had been told. We arrived a few minutes late due to traffic and their two waiters refused to acknowledge our arrival leading to me walking into the kitchen to ask for help. I was promptly sent back to wait at the door again. After an age a waiter asked why we were there and I showed my booking. He pointed to a one person table and simply said there! As a small plates menu there just wasn’t sufficient room on the tiny table to fit the expected crockery and on hearing this a nearby table of two sat at what likely was my table offered to move… twice! The waiters refused to accommodate this and weee rude to the guests for even mentioning this. I used their toilet which was the only helpful aspect to the entire visit and walked out to a nearby more basic place where we were greeted with warmth and helpfulness. Reviews show this is not untypical service so think carefully about whether you really need this in your life!

The food is delicious, I mostly enjoyed the starters, the fried bread is to die for! I really enjoy that they specialise in a specific region in Italy so the menu is compact and not overwhelming. The Lambrusco wine is delightful and definitely unexpected. The servers are knowledgeable and helpful and the meal was reasonably priced especially for that area of London.
