    Our Favorite Place to Eat

    Give the place a try and you won't be dissappointed. The food is outstanding. Well prepared and presented. Chef Eddie is a true artist in the kitchen. The waitresses are all friendly and accommodating.

    Food makes up for service

    Really poor start. Host forgot to bring us wine glasses and never returned to tell us about the specials despite walking past our table 5 times. Rock hard cold butter seems like a simple detail to fix when everyone spreads the butter on the bread. Complimentary bruscetta mentioned by others was delicious. My wife really enjoyed the spinach raviolli and the pappardelle pescatore was excellent. Mussels and scallops were cooked perfectly. Even the calamari was tender which most chefs turn to rubber bands in similar dishes. Comically, the waitress delivered the check by saying "enjoy". The food was good enough to warrant a return visit.

    veal marsala

    the veal marsala came to the table hot and was delicious along with the chef's complimentary bruschetta. The chef came out voluntarily to check each table in the dining room on their dinners-nice touch!

    Real cooking

    First time customer tonight. Emma's is real food, with veal bones boiled down for hours on end, to build the foundation of so many classical dishes; a real demi glace. The chef, not too busy on a Sunday night, visited each table in a very friendly, inquisitive, but not intrusive manner. A really good meal at a great value. We will return.

    Would you like some cold Bronxini?

    We've heard good things about the place so we decided to give it a try.. It was probably the worst meal we've ever had. The Bronxini was cold with a tasteless sauce, it WAS NOT FRESH.. The veggies were so finely chopped you couldn't tell what they were.. and also cold. The serving was very small and the prices high! We are never going back there!

    Our Favorite Restaurant in the Neighborhood

    This is our favorite restaurant! We've tried everything on the menu. Greatest veal parm ever! If you like veal....this is the place to go...we won't order it anywhere else.

    Bronxino Best I've Had

    I'm generally not a lover of many fish dishes, but after tasting the Bronxino at Emma's I find myself returning for more. In addition the caesar salad is one of the tastier I've had. My wife loves their chicken picatta. Everything we have tried thus far has been fresh and delicious. The prices are better than fair considering the quality of the meal. The atmosphere is upper end with cloth table covers and the BYOB is a plus to keep dining costs low. They even have a decent singer on Friday and Saturday nights but because of that I recommend reservations as the place probably don't hold more than 40 diners. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be sorry. Perhaps we'll meet. I'm Bob.
