  “The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and helpful, particularly when one of our party was stuck between which of two dishes to go for, and our waitress gave us some more information about the different dishes. The food was really tasty, the portion sizes were perfect for us and the prices were reasonable. We had the toasted sourdough with a burrata as a starter, which was also delicious. It was really nice food, it tasted homemade and we will definitely be back again!”

  “I visited your Tower Hill branch and the lamb ravioli was delicious, and very meaty. This time around I had to enquire if lamb had actually been included - the filling was mostly green! I couldn't taste any meat at all. Not worth the price and in my opinion, false advertising. Compare the attached photos - the first two are from the Tower Hill branch - clearly meaty, you can see the lamb filling. The third is from this branch. Please rectify here, as it is such a great dish!!”

  “We tried to eat here yesterday but it was full, which we took as a good sign and booked a reservation for today! A super simple menu of mostly pastas, but they were very well done! The pasta was hand made in store and paired well with their sauces. We also enjoyed sitting on the patio and people watching on the busy street.”

  “We really enjoyed our dinner here. All of the dishes were fresh and delicious. Our favourites were the bruschetta and the lamb ravioli. And the salted caramel hot chocolate from the dessert menu was great!”

  “What a fantastic place for dinner. I stopped in and had the lamb and sage butter ravioli and the rocket salad. The ravioli was done perfectly, the lamb filling was great, and the sage butter sauce was wonderful. The best part was the healthy heaping of aged Parmesan on top! The salad had a balsamic vinaigrette very light and tasty. But the tomatoes and peppers were very good and made the salad worth it. Overall a fantastic place to get a great meal!”

  “The pasta dishes were fantastic. We especially loved the beef and lamb ones. The rice straws they used for the drinks were great. We absolutely loved the place. 10/10”

  “There’s a reason this place has almost 5 stars average. Authentic Italian food made in London. Carbonara was the best I’d ever had. My husband had the ravioli and enjoyed as well. We also had gelato for dessert, they source their gelato from a small business in Italy. The chocolate & hazelnut gelato is life changing.”

  “Fantastic experience at this Italian restaurant! I had the salmon carbonara and it was absolutely delicious. The pasta is homemade, which really makes the difference — the dish was not overly creamy, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For dessert, I had two scoops of artisan ice cream. The pistachio one was incredible, with real pistachio pieces inside. Highly recommend!”

  “Yesterday, Thursday March 19th, I went out to dinner with my group of friends at Emilia’s, and the experience was very positive. The waiter who served us, Bilel, was especially kind and attentive. He always approached our table with a smile to check that everything was okay or to take our order, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the evening. As for the food, I ordered the carbonara and I loved i: it was delicious, and the value for money/quality was great. For dessert, I tried the pistachio cheesecake and it was an excellent choice. If you like pistachio, I definitely recommend it because it has a very rich, intense flavor. I also tried the ice cream, and it was just as good. In addition, Bilel kindly offered to take photos of us at all times, which was a lovely touch. Another member of staff (whose name I don’t know) was also very kind and gave me some bottle caps I was collecting. Overall, I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

  “My daughter and I were walking to the theater to see Hamilton and hadn’t decided on a dinner destination. We’d hoped to pass something that looked intriguing on our way. We had both been craving pasta and something about Emilia’s drew us in. Unfortunately, the dining area was completely booked, but we were lucky to score 2 seats at the bar. We always take it as a good sign when things are booked and they are only taking reservations, and it was definitely true in this case! Bilel was working behind the bar and also was our server. He was incredibly helpful with our selections and we both loved his recommendations for drinks, dinner and dessert. Don’t skip dessert! The fresh pasta is out of this world and the pistachio cheesecake and Affogato are the perfect way to end it! Go with a friend or your spouse so you can get both desserts! My daughter had pointed out during our trip that the service is different in London. She is a server in the summer months, so she is always tuned in to how people serve. Bilel was a perfect example of the good type of service in London. He offered helpful advice when asked but otherwise let us enjoy our meal on our timeframe. In the states, sometimes bar service can feel overly friendly and a bit rushed if you stop ordering. But in London, we noticed that the service was friendly, but they seem much more tuned to our personal cues. We never felt rushed. We were never given a bill until we specifically asked for it. We weren’t constantly asked if we were enjoying ourselves. There seemed to be a different level of calm assurance that all is good unless you say something. That is my very long way of saying that we loved this restaurant, the vibe, the food and the service were all top notch. Definitely recommend it—and make a reservation if you prefer not to sit at the bar! Because even that area was full during our meal!”
