Food: Tasteless pasta, stale greens

Deviate your expectations downwards before diving into the Italian Chopped Salad, Linguini al Pesto, and Chicken Parmesan at Emilio's. The supposed top dishes, adorned with tasteless dressing, stale ingredients, and undercooked bits, fail to spark any culinary delight. Add to that a grossly overpriced tag which amplifies the mediocrity of the food offered.

  • Great Portions

    Generous portions paired with delicious food and impeccable service.

  • Taste

    Meals terrible; bland salad, tasteless pasta, and undercooked mushrooms noted.

Top 3 dishes at Emilio's Trattoria

    Mozzarella Cheese with Marinara Sauce

    Marinara enhances the creamy mozzarella, creating a delightful flavor harmony.

Vibe: Mediocre ambience, disruptively noisy

Enter a cozy space, warmly lit with charming Italian decors – that gets marred by constant noise from vegetable chopping, disrupting not just conversations but overall dining experience. Standalone, the ambiance may have shone, but coupled with inattentive service and busyness, the vibe of Emilio's loses its grip.

  • Okay Aesthetic

    Old-school, charming Italian ambiance with good and bad aspects noted.

  • Buzz

    Restaurant perceived as bustling yet marred by inattentive service.

Perks: Lonely patio, inconsistent service

A lonely patio and the echoing chops from the kitchen pack an unappetizing punch to Emilio's. Parking being restrictive and service ranging from professional to rude adds salt to the wounds. Families with toddlers won't find Emilio's inviting, so beware of bringing the little ones.

  • Okay for Groups

    Mixed experiences with group dining, varying from attentive to neglectful.

  • Hard To Hear

    Extremely quiet environment, requires background music for better atmosphere.
