This was our first visit to Mystic, but I had already heard about Via Emilia before I arrived. My experience at the restaurant did not disappoint! The Caesar salad, as well as the fish and ravioli entrees, were all delicious. We ordered a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that complemented our food choices perfectly. Also, our server Chiara made sure we felt welcome and at home. We will definitely be back!

This was our first visit and won't be our last! It's been a long time since we've dined on food at a restaurant that was, literally, swoon-worthy. Grilled artichokes were elevated by the addition of golden raisins and a lemony yogurt base. The lightest, most delicate gnocchi were enveloped in a beautiful fontina and prosciutto sauce while the sweet pea and ricotta gnocchi were treated to a glossy, sublime sweet/sour lemony mint sauce. Espresso was very good and went so well with the delicious and light tiramisu. Our server was friendly and very professional. The carefully curated wine list had terrific mostly Italian selections both by the glass and by the bottle. We had ordered their last bottle of Gavi di Gavi, and the server came out to explain that it had only been in their 58 degree cellar and she wanted our permission to chill it down for 5 minutes in an ice bath. That's impressive, and going the extra mile! It was a perfect meal for our leisurely lunch on a sunny Saturday.

We had a couple appetizers which were delicious, meatballs, Calamari and Caesar salad. We ordered the large 36 inch steak to share . It had a funny texture like it spent some time cooking in pan of au jus, Almost lightly braised instead of on a grill or in a pan then oven.

Except for one thing, we and our friends were thoroughly pleased with our experience. The one thing that disturbs us a bit is the length of time we were given to enjoy our meal. This our second visit and the first was the same. We find 2 hours too long to sit through a dinner. We appreciate having another very good restaurant in our home town.

Hostess took us to the upstairs dining room and attempted to seat us right next to the only occupied table. We asked for a different table and received some attitude when she moved us. The adult beverage menu had no beer list. When I asked the server she said there were no craft IPA beers. I said I would just have water. She returned a minute later saying there was a Connecticut microbrew. Food was good but nothing exceptional.

An excellent experience. Outstanding home made pasta dishes, one of which was a vegan special which we were able to order with gluten free rigatoni which was just as good as the short ribs ragu featuring homemade flour based pappardelle. Service was very friendly and helpful. Maitre d' changed our reservation twice with a smile. Sitting in bar area was a bit chilly with door openings and closings. Take home cannoli (actually 5 small cannoli) tries too hard to be different. More nut coating than needed, advertised chocolate chips and lemon lacking and not made with traditional cannoli cream.

Arrived and the hostess was helping another couple, we waited 5 mins and a gentleman came over, we told him we had a reservation, he found our name then the women came back and said just sit them anywhere it doesn’t matter, then she looked at the computer and said oh 24 is fine. Took about 10mins once we were seated for someone to come over, she made sure to tell us she was not be helping us but asked us if we wanted water. As we sat there that same hostess brought a few couples up and asked them where they would like to sit, and let them choose. So of course they were given the nice window seats. Food was okay the mozzarella was a little watery and for the price I would not order again. Out main dishes were okay, my husband said he felt his was more of a kids meal…mine was warm…on the verge of being cold. For a Wednesday night and not too busy service was slow I think Sara was the only waitress. She was great and made sure out water and drinks were full and came over several times when we received our food.

Overall, the experience was lacking. The atmosphere was beautiful and the service was great but our entrees left something to be desired. I got the papardelle which was bland besides the large sprig of rosemary on top, it seemed like their should be some more flavor besides that with a ragu. My fiancee got the taglioni which also was also bland. There were also out of a lot of things we wanted to order, which is totally understandable, but I wish I was told before I came for my reservation or at least when we sat down. We both ordered a glass of wine and both were severely underpoured. Overall the meal was very pricey which again, I had NO problem with if it was worth it. But it certainly wasn't.

Our table was not ready and we did wait a bit too long. The owner & hostess were very gracious about the amount of time and offered a drink while we waited. The fresh ricotta was amazing. Speciality drink was delicious. Dinner special was veal piccata and it was very good. I had spaghetti & clams and felt the pasta was mundane, not a fresh pasta taste. Seasoning on both was excellent. Service was great! A fantastic new place for Italian food in Mystic!

After all the rave reviews we were disappointed. The big issue was the noise level, it was very noisy. The second thing was bread, it tasted like it was several days old not a good thing for that kind of restaurant. We had the calamari for an appetizer and it was rubbery. The rest of the meal was fine and tasty. Don’t think we would go back.

We found the restaurant to be very noisy. We were seated on the first floor and there was a lot of activity around us and music that was much too loud. The food was excellent, but, the ambiance didn’t seem to match the type of meals that are served.

Food was very good. Service was good. Nice looking place. As a first timer I was surprised there was no espresso and no dessert offering and no bread with dinner. The overall experience felt incomplete but the food that was served was very good.

Allison was a great server. Started with Polpetine beef and prosciutto meatballs with tomato sugo & baked ricotta and a Cesare Salad. Entrees Tagliolini with ragu bolognese & parmigiano reggiano and Pappardelle short rib ragu with rosemary and pecorino. For dessert Tiramisu, which was one of if not the best I ever had. The entire meal was Fantastic! A couple of Tito's and Peroni's made for a perfect night. This was our first time at Via Emilia's and we will be back. Thank you.

Space upstairs was crowded and noisy. We had a reservation and were seated on time. The hostess mentioned upfront they were short staffed. Our waitress overlooked us a couple of times although she was at the table next to us. She returned to ask for our food order while we had not yet ordered our wine. We felt rushed. We ordered a bottle and salads while looking at the menu for our dinner. Our water glasses were not refilled. We had to ask another waiter for our server. He pointed out to us she was across the room but made no attempt to summon her. I understand short staffed but we shouldn’t have to suffer that. Perhaps you should seat less people. Not a great experience.

Excellent! Be sure to order pasta as an app or main course (we shared a main pasta split 3 ways as an app, best part of meal, in an outstanding meal). Party of 3, ordered lamb, seafood special (swordfish that evening) and a different pasta. All were very happy, but one who had been there previously recommended their scallops as the best of the several great things they tried there. Our server Sara was attentive, friendly and helpful. We had a late reservation, but we NEVER felt rushed to finish and leave. The entire experience is one we hope to repeat during our next visit to Mystic. This is our new favorite restaurant ! Also, this was a birthday celebration which we noted on the reservation, and they acknowledged as we arrived at the restaurant and throughout the meal. Such a gracious and lovely gesture which set the tone for entire evening.

Restaurant needs more sound dampening. Portions very small for the price. Identical meals were not plated with the same amount of food (and very obvious). Food, very well prepared and flavorful. Service, excellent.

Should validate parking. Took to long to get drinks. Short rib ragu should have more meat in it. On the positive side, the best tiramisu we ever had. Table clothes or something to improve table setting.

We thought the restaurant was great, food, service everything very good. The only snafu was we had a 7 PM reservation, arrived on time and were seated timely. While enjoying a martini before dinner and before we ordered we were informed by our waiter that we only had until 8:15 because that’s when the next reservation for the table would be arriving. I have never been to a restaurant that only give you 1.25 hours to eat, so needless to say the meal then felt rushed and less enjoyed, as other people lavished at their tables much longer than our time limit
