" The vibe at Emilio's is unmatched! The photos of celebrities past and present create a fantastic nostalgic feel. We were pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The portions were just right, not too heavy. Would recommend to anyone in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked through the door, we felt the charm of old Italy! Our host was warm and welcoming. The focaccia bread they served was just heavenly. I went for the veal parm and it was massive! Enough for two people for sure. I can't say enough good things about this little gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I were excited to try Emilio's after hearing so much about it. While the food was decent, I felt it was overpriced for what it was. The atmosphere was charming, but I hoped for more in terms of flavor. I would recommend it for the experience, not solely for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes for Emilio's, given the rave reviews. The food was good but didn’t wow me. The portions were decent yet pricey. The focus on celebrity visits can overshadow the actual dining experience. I imagine the hype attracts tourists more than locals, but my meal was enjoyable nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend this place enough! Once inside, I felt enveloped by the cozy atmosphere. The focaccia with olive oil was the best beginning to our dinner. And the main courses? Spectacular! We took home some leftovers that tasted even better the next day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible service and ambiance! The staff made us feel special. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor from appetizers to dessert. I don't usually rave about Italian restaurants, but this one deserves the praise! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall, but the wait did test my patience. The food was tantalizing, especially the seafood pasta. I felt the service could have been slightly more attentive but was overall good. I’d visit again without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)
