Second visit and the food was just as delicious. The seafood stew is my favorite. The deserts were fantastic. This is a hidden gem. I plan on using the venue for client luncheons.

I went here because it has 4.5 stars and a bunch of reviews, and I've never really had Portuguese food and thought it would be great to try something different. It should have been a tip off that they were offering 1000 points for a Saturday night. Nothing was bad per se, but, outside of the bread, which was excellent, nothing really stood out. We got the clams app and sausage app. The clams were really small but good and the sausage was fairly dry but the sauce was really good. My wife and I each got one of the veal meals. I wish I took a picture of everything. It's right off a 1990's menu and so is the decor. The veal was overcooked but the sides were really good, though something you'd again except from the 80's or 90's. Thin dry veal, steamed carrots, mashed potatoes and boiled or steamed cabbage. It's not all bad, the staff was very nice, the food had a lot of flavor (if you like garlic, this is the place to go) and it came out in a timely manner. The other oddity was that we had to order everything at the same time because "they get busy, and he (I'm guessing the chef) won't do it. I'm not particularly picky, but this was strange. If you're of a certain age, and this is don't like change, this is your place.

We were very pleased with are fast visit to Emidio's. The restaurant has a nice menu and some wonderful starters. The main courses are large and extremely well prepared. The garlic shrimp and linguisa starters were very good. The rice and seafood dish was very interesting and tasty. The marinated strip steak was cooked perfectly and was excellent. Very good deserts.

Emidio's continues to be one of the best kept of secrets of North Atlanta. Located in an area on Roswell Road about as north as one can get in Sandy Springs, it is easily overlooked. The Portuguese cooking is sublime. Fresh and always innovative. It is a wonderful place to celebrate special occasions--birthdays and New Year's Eve.

Came to eat at this restaurant and was a bit hesitant. I’m not one to normally try new places but I was glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious and the quiet atmosphere allowed my wife and I to have a more intimate experience. My complements to the Chef and staff.
