Take a culinary journey down Via Emilia 9
The spot
Via Emilia 9
The vibe
Designed to make diners feel as though they’re inside an Italian home kitchen, Via Emilia 9 boasts an eat-in bar, a pasta making station, rustic chairs, a mini-market with Italian goods, and an entire chalkboard wall dedicated to showcasing featured wines. It’s intimate, romantic, and its shabby chic vibe makes you feel as though you’ve left South Beach far, far behind.
The deal
Guests can enjoy bottles of wine & selezione di affettati e formaggi (cold cuts and cheeses) for 50 percent off every day from 4-6:30 p.m. On Tuesday nights, guests can receive 50 percent off of their dinner menu (excluding tortellini & filet mignon) during the restaurant’s 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. seatings, and Monday through Friday, locals enjoy 50 percent off the lunch menu.
Sip and savor
Start the meal off with Via Emilia 9’s selezione di affettati e formaggi, paired with a Chianti Riserva. Then, try the capellaci di zucca burro e salvia (pumpkin capellaci in butter and sage) paired with a Barbara Zio Nando. Or the passatelli al tartufo (passatelli in truffle oil) paired with a Nebbiolo. If you want to delve into the homemade flatbreads, go with the prosciutto di parma paired with a Pagadebit. You can’t go wrong with a tiramisu for dessert.
