Get A Flavorful Digital Bite Of Italy From Via Emilia Garden In Midtown

MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Just imagine enjoying some seriously amazing homemade pasta in a super warm and cozy atmosphere. That is what you'll find at Via Emilia Garden, an authentic regional Italian restaurant and market located in Midtown.

The 2,000-square-foot, indoor and outdoor eatery, boasts a modern dining room and an ultra-chic garden area with a retractable wooden roof to beat the heat and the city's seasonal rain showers.

It is the second South Florida location for the brand. The first Via Emilia opened on South Beach six years ago.

Owned by celebrated Chef Wendy Cacciatori and wife Valentina Imbrenda,  guests enjoy a variety of Northern Italian signature dishes paired with some of the region's best bubbly and wine.

All pastas are made on premises and boiled, not in water, but in their homemade chicken broth to add more flavor.
