Via Emilia

We visited this restaurant in May and enjoyed ourselves so much. For a start, we stumbled upon this place as we got rejected by other places for not having a prior reservation. This was the only place in the area that made the effort to accommodate us even though they were full (gave us counter seats by the wall). In particular, I wanted to give a big shout-out to the owner (I presume) of the place. The level of service and passion he displayed was commendable. He took the effort not only to translate the entire menu, but also to explain them, going in great detail to share which regions the produce / dishes came from, explaining the different cuts of ham etc. A lot of the dishes were new to me, and it was quite the experience trying them out for the very first time. Food wise, it was incredible, rustic and simple, yet so full of depth and flavours. Thank you once again for the great meal. Truly enjoyed our experience.

Amazing experience thanks to Eric and the team. I was grateful they were able to get my husband and I in on short notice and the experience was so intimate with Eric coming to walk you through the menu. He was very accommodating and helpful and everything we ordered was delicious. The burrata starter, the homemade pastas, and a top contender for best tiramisu I’ve ever had. I’ll be dreaming about that tiramisu for a long time.

The best restaurant in paris! The host was very friendly. He explained the menu in detail. The wine he recommaned was a nice match with the food. During 8 days in paris, I have visited twice this restaurant. I will go this restaurant again when I come back paris. I sincerely thank you for the host and chef.

words can't describe how memorable this place is. we were served by the owner himself who treated us to a complimentary beverage for a small but understandable reservation error. the thought that goes into the ingredients were very refreshing. specific flour that is better for digestion. regional ideologies and traditions. gotta love that stuff. best meal I had in Paris by far.

Still one of my absolute favorite spots in Paris. Everything I’ve ever ordered has been spot on. The guanciale with ricotta is hands down my go-to appetizer, and the ravioli? That texture is unreal.

Fantastic. Wish we would have found it earlier on our trip. Best pasta we've had yet. Truly amazing. Plus we got a short notice reservation, very accommodating and friendly. Meal was exceptional from appetizers to dessert. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it. Good portions and geat pricing and amazing quality. Owner explained the whole menu to us. Truly a great experience. We will be going back the next time we are in Paris. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

What a great find in Paris! We ate here for lunch and then made another reservation for a couple days later. Simple menu with attention to the quality and simplicity which to me is the definition of proper Italian cooking. The burrata appetizer was amazing and so was the mixed vegetables with mozzarella appetizer. The mozzarella is top quality and the burrata had a little bit of black truffle in the middle. All the stuffed pasta we had was amazing and loved that they all come in a simple butter and sage sauce. Trust Eric on wine recommendations by the glass to pair with your food. Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back next time we are in Paris.

This was probably my favorite restaurant I visited during my trip to Paris, we were absolutely blown away by the level of quality and flavors at Via Emilia, offering an authentic Italian meal at a very reasonable price. Guanciale Ricotta Fumée - the flavor and texture of both the guanciale and the smoked ricotta were both very amazing, rich and high quality Tortellini Pesto Ricotta and Tortellini Truffle - both cooked perfectly al dente, handmade pasta, high quality, and very good flavors The meat inside the tortellini had good flavor too. Tried a tigelle with prosciutto and eggplant (kind of like a little sandwich or wrap), really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the bread and eggplant The tiramisu was super fresh, one of the better tiramisus I've had (comparable to ones I've had in Italy) It's a cute little restaurant, we went with no reservation and they were able to seat us at the bar (but I'd recommend making reservations). The owner/server was so friendly and helped us to understand their French-only menu. My favorite restaurant that I went to in Paris, hopefully I can come back one day!
