Ideal For A Taste Of Italy’s Emilia Romagna Region In Bangkok: Via Emilia

Via Emilia in the city’s Sathorn district aims to faithfully recreate the food and hospitality of Italy’s famous Emilia Romagna region, all in the heart of Bangkok. It’s pure escapism, and sometimes, after a hectic and hot day here, it’s just the kind of place you want to sink into.

This restaurant is a tribute to Emilia Romagna and the foodie meccas of Bologna, Modena, Parma and the rest. The regions is famous for its renowned, world-class produce; think balsamic vinegar, parmigiano reggiano and prosciutto di Parma, all of which are used liberally throughout the menu.

It’s for the strozzapreti con le canocchie that we keep returning to Via Emilia – hand twisted pasta with mantis shrimps in tomato sauce, and just about as decadent tasting as it comes. It’s no surprise that this dish has developed a cult-like status amongst the restaurant’s regulars. The tagliatelle, positively brimming with shellfish, is glorious too.

The pizzas at Via Emilia certainly aren’t an afterthought. Made in the Bolognese style (no, not topped with ragu, but rather, with a thin base and crisp crusts), the dough is naturally leavened and left to ferment for 72 hours, resulting in an enjoyable lightness and depth of flavour. The parma ham and burrata version, the latter added fridge-cold once the pizza is cooked and subsequently adding a refreshing note, exemplifies this light touch. Delicious.
