Named after an ancient Roman road that spans from Rimini to Piacenza, Via Emilia Italian Restaurant is known for their house-made pastas, braised meats, seafood specialties, and delicious desserts. The family-owned restaurant served Houston diners for over 13 years before moving to their current location in the Woodlands. We welcome you to experience the most authentic northern Italian cuisine in the Woodlands - no passport required.

    Really enjoy eating here. I usually get the Osso Bucco which is excellent. However, I got the veal cutlet this time and it was total unsatisfactory. Very thin cut, very chewy, and a poor quality piece of meat. Certainly not worth the $50+ spent on it. They need to either improve the item or take it off the menu.

    Excellent experience : food, service, cost. The downside was that the piano playing was disturbing loud. The music was ok just way too loud. It took away from the dining experience. You should tone it down so it’s more like background music.

    It was an amazing experience! They had rose petals on the table for our anniversary. Service was fantastic. We had our young son and they were great with him. Helped with the picking out on menu. He even brought dessert for us to look at and pick. My son asked for cherries and they brought some and joked. The owner came over and talked with us. Everyone was super friendly and talked. Wonderful food! Just all in all fantastic!
