    Another excellent outing to Via Emilia. My family and I were there to celebrate Fathers Day. This is truly a hidden gem in the Woodlands. The outside is so unassuming but from the moment you enter, you are transported to a small Italian village. The frescos and decorations on the wall are beautiful. Service is top-knotch and servers seem to sense what you need/want before you even ask. The quality of the food is superb. My personal favorite is the Pollo a limon. My family has a wide range of needs and preferences and Via Emilia has something for each of them. Be sure to save room for the most decadent desserts from the Creme Brulee to the Tiramisu. Do yourself a favor and order a Moscow Mule - it is expertly crafted.

    The meal was a bit off this time: no flavor. There seemed to have been a missing ingredient in the soup.
