If there’s one place in Bangkok that delivers authentic Emilia-Romagna cuisine with passion and precision, it’s Via Emilia Italian Restaurant. This award-winning spot brings northern Italy to Sathorn through its deep-rooted culinary tradition and attention to detail.
What sets Via Emilia apart isn’t just the taste, as they are committed to authenticity as well.

Their oven-baked lasagna, a clear crowd favourite, is made with fresh spinach pasta, slow-cooked beef and pork ragù, silky béchamel, and aged 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano. Golden, bubbling, and rich in flavour, it’s a dish that often draws praise like “just like in Bologna!”
Via Emilia doesn’t just serve Italian food, as they aim to preserve the culinary heritage of Emilia-Romagna. Every dish on the menu reflects that passion, especially the lasagne, which is why the restaurant has earned recognition like the Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants award, this list, and a loyal following of both Thais and expats.
