· Northern Italian restaurant
· The West End
Handmade Emilia-Romagna pastas in a tiny Fitzrovia room with warm service and divisive portion sizes; great if you love regional authenticity and gnocco fritto, less so if you want big bowls fast.
Our take
Via Emilia by Food Roots delivers strong handmade pasta and gnocco fritto with knowledgeable regional guidance in a charming Fitzrovia hideaway. However, quality varies noticeably between visits, and tight seating combined with peak-time waits create friction that prevents grade A-grade territory. Worth seeking out for authentic Emilia-Romagna specialties, but manage expectations around portion size and service speed.
One caveat: Portions can feel small; some diners left hungry without ordering multiples
Standout dishes
- Gnocco Fritto bread
- Tagliatelle al Ragu (Bolognese)
- Caplaz ad Zuca (Pumpkin ravioli)
What people love
- That handmade pasta texture
- Friendly, knowledgeable servers who explain dishes
- Gnocco fritto starter ritual with meats or cheese
