Via Emilia

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!

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.

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.
