Emilia's

The best Italian food I’ve ever had. Our server was George who was great and made you feel so welcome. Awesome experience if you’re in the area you must go.

My friend and I had a wonderful time at Emilia's last night. Our server, George, was patient and very helpful. He is very knowledgeable about wines and food pairings. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the attentive service. We will definitely be returning for more meals in the future. Thank you!

Good food spotty service. Good waiter but 1 person never got their entree (party of 8). Nobody cared. Food was good, atmosphere is small old school owner or floor manager did apologize but come on. Make sure people get their food. Pretty important detail. No?

I love this place. Best restaurant on Arthur Ave. the staff is so kind and the atmosphere beautiful. Last time we went they had singers who sang a few songs. Stuff artichoke is my very favorite. Great place to go for a special occasion or dinner. The food is great quality, the lasagna and bolognese masterpieces. I could go on. So good.

We made a reservation at Emilia's on Arthur Ave in the Little Italy neighborhood of the Bronx, NY for Sat Dec 9, 2023 at 2pm. This was our first time here. We arrived at 1:35 and were going to wait at the bar for our table. Well there was no bar and the host seated us immediately without regard to our reservation. OK, that worked for us. We had been seated and were greeted by our waiter, George. We asked a few questions about the wine choices and made our selections ($12/glass). Warm, crusty Italian bread was brought to the table with small plates for the dipping olive oil. Now the restaurant was filling up quickly. But service wasn't affected. Our shared appetizer was the sauteed & cheese stuffed zucchini flowers ($14) and it was perfect. Our meals arrived just after George;s brought our second glasses of wine. Perfect timing again. My bride had the lunch special Spinach Fettucini con Cavolfiore -Spinach Fettucini with Roasted Cauliflower & Crisp Pancetta ($22). Excellent balance of flavors & textures in this dish. She took half home as she opted for a second piece of the bread. I had the other lunch special Cavatelli Sposato-Cavatelli Married with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Sautéed with a Touch of Small Italian Red Peppers ($23). A truly wonderful dish with a sprinkle of grated cheese & crushed red pepper. Repeated offers of dolce (dessert) had to be declined (cannoli & biscotti were in our future). There is also an outdoor patio/dining area out back. Emilia's is open from 12pm Wed-Mon, closed Tue. Emilia's is the quintessential Little Italy restaurant. Great food & wine with impeccable service. Mille Grazie to George and all the staff at Emilia's. Hope to see you again next year. Nicola & Liz, Albany, NY
