    Everything was good, food was marvelous, so had something that we didn’t like, we were uncomfortable because the waiter took the dishes very quickly and every moment he asked us if we wanted something else, he brought us the bill without We ask for it. We wanted to have a quiet moment enjoying dinner and the waiter was very insistent.

    I absolutely loved this place. I was nervous abt it and as soon as I walked in it all went away. My date absolutely loved the old Italian vibe they had, we enjoyed the piano player playing in the background,and the service and food was amazing.

    This was a special birthday lunch for a friend that had never been to the restaurant before, it was at a 1230 on a Sunday, however, it was really odd. There was only one other table of people in the whole restaurant when they left there was only one other table, so I was a little surprised, and was wondering what was going on with the restaurant.

    The food was delicious! Our service began quickly, but stalled between courses. Our appetizer and salads came quickly, but we had to wait 20-25 minutes for our entrees. Everyone around us received their entrees and they were finishing when our entrees finally arrived. Ravioli dishes and Chicken Parm shouldn’t take that long to prepare!

    We ordered one of our favorites — muscles. They did not disappoint this time either. Cooked to perfection! We tried a new appetizer for us. The bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese, may be another new favorite. They were delicious 😋 The red snapper with artichoke hearts were mouth watering and delicious. We definitely recommend Via Emilia and can’t wait to return!
