    Very classy restaurant. The servers are all dressed professionally and are our server was great. The food (especially the appetizers) was awesome. The music selection was classic and also they had a piano player with live music. It is nice to go to a restaurant that has classic music versus 80's top ten (or worse hip-hop, rap noise.) We are very lucky that we live only a few minutes from the restaurant and when we want to have a really nice dinner and evening we choose Via Emilia.

    We celebrated our anniversary here last night and it was wonderful! The service was attentive without being overbearing. One of our guests has some dietary restrictions and the waiter discretely helped her with her order. The staff went out of their way to make the evening memorable down to details like rose petals on the table and napkins folded to heart shapes. The food was exceptional. I gave it a "moderate" rating for noise largely due to us. We had a great time and laughed a lot. Ordinarily I would rate it as quiet. This is a first-rate restaurant to be sure!
