Via Emilia

Every time we visit this restaurant it just blows us away! The service, the friendliness, the staff and the ownership just go above and beyond to deliver the best food and service in Mystic! Coming from Federal Hill RI, I know Italian food and this is the most authentic and delicious Italian restaurant in the area. Homemade pasta and sauce to die for. Fabulous wines, and the best seat is at the bar. We’ll be coming here again real soon! Here’s a secret, come Sunday and they have some off menu specials that are insane!

Delicious authentic Italian restaurant with a bistro buzz in the heart of Mystic. From the cavatelli with sea scallops and short rib pasta, to the desserts and wine selection - everything was amazing. For dessert, try the affogato, tiramisu or their famous Emilia double espresso martini, which also comes in decaf. Service was great too! Perfect for a fun night with 4-8 people to a romantic dinner for two. Highly recommend.

My husband and I try to come to Mystic every December for a few days. Via Emilia looked like a great place to try and, after eating there, I would highly recommend. It was very festive and our waitress, Alexa, was great as was the entire staff. We started with meatballs....yummy! We both had the same dinner....yellowfin tuna on caponata. It was superb. The tuna was seared on outside, but rare as it should be. Dessert was also really good although dessert menu is limited. Overall, very pleasant experience and great food. We will return.

Cozy Italian restaurant located in downtown Mystic, right near the drawbridge. The food and drinks were excellent. The bread was perfect, soft interior but thick crust. The pasta dishes were the perfect proportion and tasted incredible. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting downtown Mystic.

The food and drinks at this Italian restaurant were absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend starting with one of their espresso martinis, which was perfectly balanced and refreshing. The ziti with beef was a hearty and delicious main course, and the cheese plate was an excellent way to finish the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was top-notch. I will definitely be back!
