Absolutely fantastic! The food was outstanding and the service was on point! We had pizza and lasagna and both were 10/10 best Italian food I’ve had!

Horrible hospitality and service from Trish.The meal itself was nice and the price point was fair. However, our lovely meal was unfortunately ruined due to horrendous service we received. Our waitress Trish was beyond obnoxious and ill mannered. In addition to being rude to us without any apology, she ignored me for the duration of our meal.On writing this review, I can see that I am not the only one who has experienced this. Looking at all of the negative reviews, the vast majority is due to the awful service.Overall, not worth your money. It's better off spent elsewhere.

Went here for the first time this week. Excellent staff and tasty food. Portions were big and lots of variety in the special dishes. House wine wasn't that great and tiramisu was a little disappointing but mains and starters + general atmosphere and attentiveness if staff made up for it!

My inaugural visit to Emilio's left a lasting impression, albeit not entirely favorable. On a Friday evening, accompanied by friends, we were warmly welcomed upon arrival and promptly escorted to our designated table. The menu was reasonably priced and exhibited a commendable quality relative to their cost, with ample portion sizes to satisfy our appetites.Regrettably, the evening took an unfavorable turn when, near to the end of our meal, I expressed the desire to have the leftovers of my dish packaged to bring home. To my dismay, before I could make such a request, our waitress, Trish (Patricia), abruptly seized the plate from my grasp and hastily departed, seemingly without notice. Promptly realizing the situation, I endeavored to clarify matters with another waitress in the vicinity.In a disheartening turn of events, Trish returned and, rather brusquely, informed her colleague that she had already disposed of the contents, casting unfounded blame in my direction. Notably, Trish neglected to offer any acknowledgment or apology, choosing instead to speak over me in conversation with the other waitress. Subsequently, she maintained a dismissive demeanor for the remainder of the evening, leaving an indelible mark of discourtesy.This lamentable encounter prompts me to reflect on the numerous adverse reviews this establishment has garnered, primarily stemming from subpar customer service. Trish's conduct, in particular, single-handedly marred what could have otherwise been an enjoyable dining experience. Regrettably, based on this unfortunate incident, we have resolved not to visit Emilio's in the future and cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to acquaintances. Despite the commendable quality of the cuisine, the overall experience was overshadowed by an extremely poor customer service.

We had the experience of Emilio’s this evening. Proceed with caution!I have never felt the need to leave a bad review before, Emilio’s has tipped me over the edge!To startWe had the Pavarotti Prawns and the Melanzane parmigiana both failed to hit a high note, in fact failed to hit any note! The prawns were lukewarm with a hot fishy tomato based sauce ladled over the top. They were unpleasant. Turning to the Melanzane parmigiana, the aubergine was bitter, mushy and oily. Clearly reheated from frozen.MainsWe had the duck special and a pizza Roma. The duck was nicely roasted but unfortunately covered in a thick grey salty slime, allegedly a peppercorn sauce. Frankly, unlike anything I have ever tasted and hopefully will never again! To accompany this grey slime we had some flaccid asparagus.The pizza base was thick, uncooked in the middle and covered in a sweet tomato base. It was sent back and reheated. When we enquired about the thickness of the pizza we were told that they could only cook a thick base.As unpleasant as the food was, it took a distant second place to the manager, who was confrontational, overzealous and thoroughly objectionable.Having read such good reviews we were bitterly disappointed with our experience and would not return or recommend anyone else to.
My wife and I dined here with friends on Saturday evening. All went, generally well, with the starters. I had the Minestrone soup ( a touch salty and no vermicelli) but the others in our party were very happy with their Garlic mushrooms and Melanzane Parmigiana. The drinks were good. Unfortunately when it came to the main course, one person had ordered Lasagne. The dish was wrong! Lasagne should be (and has always been) Bolognese sauce, pasta sheets and bechamel sauce in alternating layers and then baked in the oven. Emilio's serves it as multiple layers of pasta sheets rolled like a Swiss roll and topped with Bolognese sauce and mozzarella cheese and put under a grill. This made the dish very stodgy and not particularly pleasant to eat. When we were asked if everything was ok we pointed out that the Lasagne was not right. The proprietor told us that they had done it this way for years from an old Italian recipe. When we said that we had never had Lasagne like it she stormed off on a huff. Not good customer service!!

So where do I start.. Visited tonight 23/9/23 at first the place was very welcoming we were shown to our table upstairs, sat down, and our drinks order was taken. This is where it started to go down hill. Drinks arrived and orders taken. Less minutes of or order being taken we wanted to cancel one of the items but was rudely told by the lady in charge that it was already being prepared I'm sure how as the note pad was still in her hand and had not gone to the kitchen yet?? Anyway, our starters came so we had those and the mains were served. Fillet steak is pretty much that no sides and no offer or side when ordered the rest of the order was good. During our meal we were asked 3 times if we had finished when we clearly we hadn't. When we had actually finished the rude manger lady was over heard telling younger staff not to take our plates away. The whole experience was ruined by a manager on a power trip. I've never had such bad customer service my advice is eat elsewhere. To top the night off we approached to pay our bill and asked to split it between two cards to which the manger said how much would you like to pay on each? You cannot make this up Should be called Karen's Dinners Luckily could laugh about it but really did damped the mood We will not be returning

Excellent meal on a Saturday evening. Lovely food, and service was very prompt, considering how busy it was. Only visiting for the weekend, otherwise I would be going again.

First time at Emilios, but won't be the last.The starters were superb and the main was out of this world. I had the Linguine with Prawns and smoke Salmon, absolutely gorgeous. All the other three people loved the food as much as I.I was the only one who didn't have a pud but the Crepes was excellent, coffee sublime and the Lemon Sorbet was to die for.What a place, we will be back.
