About the restaurant

Via Emilia 9 in Miami Beach, Florida is the first of its kind in this city. A regional Italian restaurant, Via Emilia 9 only serves menu items that have actually been imported from Italy (flour, eggs, fruits and vegetables being the only exceptions for good reason). The pasta here is made fresh daily from these Italian ingredients. You can even partake in truffle tastings to help better inform your palette.

While there are a number of great entr�es to choose from at Via Emilia 9, the stewed veal cooked in milk definitely stands out. The veal with cooked ham and cheese is another favorite.

Our food was absolutely delicious! Our waiter (I don’t remember his name sadly) recommended the penne allá vodka with chicken and it couldn’t have been a better choice. He was extremely attentive to us and made sure our water was always topped off. We were a little bummed when our dessert choice wasn’t available but we plan to be back later this week as it’s a quick walk from our hotel.
