    This is a consistently great lunch spot in the Woodlands. Talked a friend of mine into coming out for Bellaire area today to meet up here. He was so impressed we are going to schedule a dinner with the wives here soon.

    It took a look time for our entrees to be served. The food was warm. The pork medallions were over cooked. Our server was attentive.

    Exceptional! Highly recommend the featured pumpkin ravioli with Italian sausage. It’s everything delightfully nostalgic about fall, and flavor is divine. Special thanks to our server. VERY attentive and kind, yet not overbearing. We will be back!

    Lovely atmosphere and ambience. Just the right amount of background noise for conversations. Our waiter was helpful in choosing our food. A great experience overall.

    Let's start with this; we have been to Via Emilia many times. However, this time fell short for a few reasons: 1. Our server Jessica, I belive was her name, was just ok. She was nice, but not particularly engaging as we've experienced before. 2. My husband and I both had 2 cocktails each. I had the same one. I believe it's called the 1886, but you couldn't tell as both of the same cocktails tasted vastly different. My husband ordered a "mojito" and was served the 'berry mojito' without confirmation and he does not like those at all. As my husband hates making a fuss, he drank the berry one and when he re-ordered specified a "classic mojito" and we suggested to our server that she not assume in future. She was apologetic, but not particulary concerned. 3. We had an early reservation and it was not particularly busy, so this whole experience was disheartening. We will definitely think twice before returning. It was our youngest son's 18th birthday dinner outing and it's unfortunate that our favorite part was the piano player.
