    The food was delicious and authentic. The pita breads and the Tave dishes are to die for. The filet mignon dish was exquisite. It’s a warm and wonderful ambiance, which truly invites people to have a great time whether in a family celebration or with friends. We had a memorable experience.

    We have been coming to Emilia's for almost 20 years. Whenever we're in the Bronx, whether for a Yankees game, to visit the zoo or botanical garden, dinner at Emilia's is a must. The Nonna's Sicilian meatballs, with signaling and currants, topped with whipped ricotta and shaved parmesan cheese are simply spectacular, tender and flavorful and the sauce screams to be mopped up with crusty bread. Everything I've had here has been top notch from the made in house pasta, to the fish and chicken entrees and desserts. Good cocktails and reasonably priced wines. A home away from home.
