“ It was top shelf service and the food was outstanding. This family is iconic and one of the things that makes Fayetteville a great place. You must try Emilia's if you have the chance. ”
“ Emilia's has good food at very reasonable prices. The Fried Calamari was very crispy and even came with some legs. The Chicken Daniela was an elevated chicken parm and it was definitely worth getting. The service was pretty slow but the waiters were all friendly. I'd definitely try this place again ”
“ The food is always reliable and delicious here. When the weather is nice the outdoor garden is a lovely option. Nonna's Sicilian Meatballs and stuffed artichoke are favorite appetizers. The gnocchi con burrata, pork osso buco and lobster ravioli top our list of entrees to order, but the specials and other standard Italian fare are usually reliable and tasty. The service is attentive and the variety of desserts are a nice way to end your meal. ”
“ What can you comment on a dish that's name after its location? LOL. I picked this dish at first considered the balanced of its ingredients used in terms of nutrition. And I found myself curious in its representation of this neighborhood, Belmont in Bronx. A Neighbor that is well-known with a mix of Italian, Latino, and Albanian. This is a well executed dish at some point quite difficult to "operate" (I meant to cut it like a steak without having the baby broccoli fell apart). The favor is rich. The chicken is thinly sliced and it successfully prevented it being too dry from the grill. The chicken is slightly marinated with salt and garlic which perfectly matched the favor of the baby broccoli. The mozzarella cheese meant to bind everything together and yet, it made it like a pizza in chicken crusts. This dishes is savory. The broth carried its chicken favor with onion, celery, carrot (my wild guess of the making of the chicken broth) brought together a lot of immersion story between Italian, Latino, and Albania. It told me a lot of stories about this neighborhood in the hard time of mingling between immigrants and the anthropological transition of Belmont. It brought to be a lot of sentimental and emotional stories for immigrants here who worked hard for their family and lived up their culture. The Penne in marinara sauce as a side dishes bring it to a big reunion but also a balance of the nutrition pyramid. Last but not least, remember to save a piece of bread to finish the broth on your plate. You won't regret embarrassing yourself with its taste. This is a dish deserves its name. The ambience is comfy. buon appetito ”
“ We enjoyed our dinner here. The aranacini were excellent. The pasta dishes were all great. I would recommend the ravioli and linguine with clams. Very pleasant service and we look forward to returning here in the future. ”
“ The service was good, they have good seating and a patio in the back- all good things but the food was over the top great. Fresh and flavorful. We had the appetizer off the specials menu, stuffed zucchini flowers with cheese, the gnocchi con burrata and the chicken parmigiana, generous portions and the sangria was really good. The restaurant is very Arthur Avenue, elegant and understated. It wasn't very loud and the wait staff was attentive. We look forward to returning! ”
“ Tried Emilia's for the first time and we really enjoyed it. The owner Joanne was very sweet and her staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed Nonna's meatballs with currants and pine nuts, the grilled octopus was cooked perfectly, the bronzino was delicious as was the pappardelle bolognese. The prices were very reasonable. Nice dining experience. ”
“ After few hours strolling at NYBG to get over the cherry blossom, magnolia blossoms, orchid show anxiety, we were starving for food. The online forums pointed to any restaurant In Arthur Avenue! This place was one of our top three choices in the lovely Italian American neighborhood in Arthur Avenue. It was 3:30 PM on Saturday but the restaurant was full of diners. We were seated in the corner immediately despite with no reservation. We loved the appetizers, calamari & Caesar salad. Both were delicious! The cocktails were great. As for the main menu, we liked everything except the pork dish which was too bland. Otherwise, we left the the restaurant happy & full & headed out to a nearby bakery to try their famed fresh Italian pastries. ”
“ Bronx's Little Italy on Arthur Avenue has no shortage of Italian eateries dripping with old school (and old world) charm. After a day out at the Bronx Zoo, we walked into Emilia's for an early dinner. The dark dining room lends a romantic vibe while the menu has a wide range of familiar dishes (antipasto, calamari, zucchini flower starters, chicken and veal mains, fresh pastas). We split an antipasto platter and each ordered a pasta (hers: gnocchi and burrata in vodka sauce, mine: pappardelle in bolognese) The food was phenomenal: that antipasto platter had creamy fresh mozzarella, bracingly salty prosciutto, smoky roasted peppers, briny olives, and a truffle provolone) while the pastas were cooked perfectly (the vodka sauce not too heavy, with just enough punch while the bolognese was rich and meaty). The meal was capped with a surprisingly light tarte with cannoli cream and fresh berries. ”
