Every Wednesday Via Emilia (47 E. 21st Street) has a Lambrusco flight deal that's quite a steal - $25 gets you pours of four Lambruscos (red sparkling wine) from the restaurant's home region of Emilia-Romagna plus 4 antipastos.Last week we were actually in disbelief as we made our way through the deal. It is indeed a heckuva bargain - the wine pours were generous and the portions of the antipasti also sizable. Actually it was one antipasto followed by a clam dish, a pasta and a piece of steak! The only odd thing is they give you one glass so you need to finish the Lambrusco accompanying the previous course before getting the one for the next. But with a steal like this we won't complain about glassware stinginess.
One note to people planning a date here - a small sheet of paper with the deal and specials was attached to the menu - on the bottom it said "Great Cheap Date!! Reserve Today!" Guys, you may not want to show this to your date unless you want a rep as a cheapskate.
One note - the flight is available every Wednesday from 5pm - 8pm but tonight they are closed for a private party until 7pm. We highly recommend you check it out.
Verdict: DEAL!
