One minute it’s dough.
The next, dinner.

Warning: watching fresh spaghetti being made may cause sudden hunger.

Try stopping at one. We dare you.
Crispy, golden, gone in seconds.

The Via Emilia way, come try it out!

20/04/2026

Fresh ravioli, and a glass of Lambrusco.
That’s enough.

15/04/2026

Recipes passed down, wine poured, right people
and a table that’s always meant to be shared.

Some traditions are worth keeping.
Welcome to Via Emilia.

Simple pleasures, just Via Emilia.

08/04/2026

Taking a direct flight to Emilia-Romagna, one bite at a time.

Fresh pasta. A glass of wine. People you enjoy.

That’s the whole idea.

Freshly made gnocco fritto, rich charcuterie, and Lambrusco doing the magic.

Light, fresh, slightly sparkling: exactly what you need to balance every bite.

Some pairings just make sense.

Not all flavours are created overnight.

Between monks, valleys and time, Culatello and Parmigiano Reggiano were born: shaped by patience, preserved by tradition.

This is not just food. This is history you can taste.
And Christian knows it well.

Not all ravioli wear the same hat. 🎩

Cappellacci di Zucca, the pride of Ferrara, filled with sweet butternut squash and finished simply with butter, sage and parmesan.

Sweet, savoury, and unmistakably Emilia.

Chocolate salami.
No meat involved, just one of Italy’s most classic desserts.
Chocolate, biscuits, and a slice of childhood for many Italians.

Dangerously easy to finish.

Before Parmigiano Reggiano reaches your plate, someone literally listens to it.

Each wheel is tapped with a hammer to detect any imperfections inside.
If the sound is right → it earns the official stamp.

Tradition has good ears.

Ugly? Maybe.
Perfect? Definitely.

Pisarei were invented to catch more sauce…and they honestly do the job better than a lot of pastas out there.

Not fancy.
Not delicate.
Just dangerously effective.

Via Emilia approved 🇮🇹

You can never go wrong.
Just order a bit of everything, and share it.

15/02/2026

There’s a reason Culatta sits above the rest.

Aged slowly in the valleys of Emilia, shaped by climate, patience and craft.

Delicate, deep, and impossible to rush.
Simply unmissable.

11/02/2026

From a simple sheet of pasta to a plate that tastes familiar.

Before the sauce,
before the plate,
there’s always the sfoglia.

Nonna would say:
“If you don’t respect this part, the rest doesn’t matter.”

We listened.

05/02/2026

A table full of plates, hands reaching in, conversations crossing.

That’s how gnocco fritto, pasta and Lambrusco come together.

Because sharing isn’t an extra, it just changes everything.

28/01/2026

Spinach ravioli don’t need to shout.
But when they’re plated right, they definitely catch your eye.

What really matters comes after the first look. Soft pasta, a delicate spinach filling, and a sauce that lets everything stay in balance. This is the kind of dish that comes from home kitchens and family tables, made from recipes that have stayed the same for a reason.

We make them by hand, with care and respect for the ingredients, keeping things traditional on purpose. Because the most memorable plates aren’t always the most complicated ones - they’re the ones that feel familiar from the very first bite.

22/01/2026

Machines make pasta faster.
Hands make it familiar.

Back home, pasta wasn’t a recipe.
It was something you absorbed. You stood next to someone who knew, and one day your hands knew too.

No shortcuts, no rush.
Passed through generations.

18/01/2026

Winter season?

There’s only one answer:
Anolini in brodo 🇮🇹
Just like back home, made one by one.

14/01/2026

Nonna would approve 🇮🇹
And she’s very hard to impress.

Preferably shared. (But we won’t judge.)

12/01/2026

Traditional food. Real ingredients. Done the right way.

Our Spaghìt à l’ai, òli e pavrónzin shows how much flavour can come from simplicity when it’s handled with care. 🍝🔥

Just garlic, oil and chilli, but combined in the exact balance that defines traditional pasta dishes across Emilia-Romagna. No heavy sauces, no embellishments, just a clean, bold expression of regional cooking.

Book your table and enjoy this classic Spaghìt à l’ai, òli e pavrónzin dish on your next visit, here at Via Emilia.
