About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
In 2012 the restaurant was born as IN PARMA and transformed with a new attractive look into VIA EMILIA in 2023 to offer the popular signature dish Gnocco Fritto also in Central London. 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 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 Tottenham Court Road Tube station.

    For Valentine's Day, my girlfriend and I decided to make a reservation at this place and here's where the fun begins: a few days before the event they changed the time of booking (8:30 to 9) for a mistake of theirs and I kindly accept the change even though was not ok for us, as outlined in an email. No email reply to apologise for the inconvenience. On the day of the dinner we arrive 10 minutes before 9 at the restaurant and the reception was not the best as we were scolded that our booking was half an hour earlier (when in fact they had changed it at 9 am), I do not even have time to explain that the waitress goes to the till to talk to a colleague who I think is her manager. They make us wait at the door for a while, after which they nod from far to show us our table, where the manager leaves us the "Valentine's Day" menus without bringing the restaurant's main menu (nowhere was it specified at the time of booking that it was compulsory to order from the Valentine's Day menu, also because the booking had been made specifically to try dishes from the main menu). We had already pointed out to the staff at the time of booking that my girlfriend has a dairy intolerance. Once we ordered, to the disappointment that we could not order things from the main menu, we noticed that there was a bit of a commotion in the air from one particular staff person, who kept calling all the customers "my lovely"as if we were at Aunt Fernanda's inn. The same person soon afterwards took back some customers in a bad way sitting next to us who were rightly annoyed that the menu was not on the table 10 minutes after their arrival. When we got the order, the waitress brought us a cacio e pepe which we had not ordered since my girlfriend is lactose intolerant,she insisted that she had ordered it and the way she did it was quite bad since she raised her voice embarrassing her in front of all the guests. Great food but very bad waiting staff experience,very disorganised!

    They serve delicious homemade pasta and a specific kind of Lambrusco in porcelain bowls which was truly rich and flavourful. It was a great experience, really exquisite and recommendable.

    We were a party of ten late on a wet December evening and all the gloom outside was dispelled by an excellent meal (the tasting menu - perfect for a large group), great service and a very reasonable wine list.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time at my birthday dinner. Our group consisted of 14 people, and the restaurant contacted me after my reservation to suggest a taster menu, which made our evening run smoothly. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed learning about the restaurant's background and the dishes we were served. I had requested a fully vegetarian menu, and they accommodated that with ease. The food was fantastic! Their special bread starter and cheese selection were incredibly addictive. My personal favorite main dish of the night was the Cacio e Pepe. Many of my friends mentioned that it was the best Italian restaurant they had ever been to. Thank you for the lovely evening!

    The location is great, the restaurant is nice and cosy. The service is alright, the waitress was friendly and accommodating. What disappoints the most is the food - very poor quality at too high prices. We would not return.

    I was looking for somewhere to take two American visitors and decided on this little Italian gem in Charlotte Place. We were warmly welcomed to our table and given a very enthusiastic introduction to the specialities available on the menu. I liked how the ingredients used by Via Emilia are from the Emilia Romagna region of Italy, and that they take great pride in the quality of their food. We had the meat platter for starters and after that we enjoyed sharing a variety of very tasty pasta dishes, accompanied by a good Sangiovese red wine. The tiramisu dessert was light and delicious. We had great service and all in all it was excellent value for money. We had a lovely evening and can thoroughly recommend this restaurant to others.
