I really wanted to like this place because I love the neighborhood and it would be a really nice addition. The staff is very nice but the whole lunch experience was an exercise in disorganization. The selection was very limited for lunch and my salad was something a 9 year old could have put together. I'd also suggest that the staff frown upon letting people ride their Razor scooters into the dining room.

refills on water were phenom. waiter was so personable and went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied the whole time. they were able to make accommodations to items on the menu for specific patrons and had no issues with this at all. it was a tiny restaurant with a HUGE wine selection and a lot of lambrusco! it's a little hole in the wall and i would definitely go back any time with any group of people! five stars! just a tip-CASH ONLY but no big deal since it's a great find!

Found this restaurant using Menupages for it's location and ratings. The service in this restaurant was fabulous. Our waiter was personable, knowledgeable and a pleasure as was the rest of the staff. The four of us shared many of the dishes to taste the home made pastas, and fabulous desserts. The sweet corn side dish was very special. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

the restaurant is very modern w/tables spaced out enough for privacy. we had fresh grilled tuna and white cannellini bean salad served over grilled bruschetta, a delicious pork chop, very good soup of the day (spinach) - both very pleased with both the staff and service. a nice place.

excellent for a nice lunch or dinner. love their pastas have tried almost every one. the coffee is a must have!! love the candy shaped pasta. excellent food for the money and nice atmosphere

I've been to Via Emilia twice in the past month, and both times the food was fantastic, in a creamy and flavorful sort of way. I'm sure it was also a few thousand calories, but hey, this is the sort of restaurant where the food is good enough that I can forget about that for one night. The service was helpful, and while some may or may not like the decor, I can say I liked the layout of the place. The pricing is also surprisingly reasonable. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Italian food, but I know that if ever I'm around Union Square in the future I'll have already found a place to eat.

Everything just tastes wonderfully fresh and the food is very flavorful. My only complaint is that it is cash only.
