Emilia is the best! Fantastic food, a warm atmosphere, and the kindest wait staff. My fiancé and I celebrate all of our special... occasions here. (Also Bethany C. Is a wonderful server and is so accommodating. 10/10 recommend requesting her.) Read more
Excellent experience for this New Yorker. Service was great, food excellent, and wine recommendations from our server hit a home... run. I am a rare dessert person but the butterscotch something or other was too notch. 5 stars all around and really made for aspecial night for our 4some! Read more
The vegetarian food is really good! I understand that this is higher end dining but the portions are a bit too small. The... service wasn’t great. No one was very friendly to us. Not many staff even smiled at us. Our waiter seemed like she didn’twant to be there. The only dessert we tried was the butterscotch pudding. The first bite was great and then it was wayyyy tosweet. We couldn’t even finish one portion between two of us and felt like throwing up for hours after. Definitely not thequality of dessert we’d expect from a higher end Italian restaurant. Read more
The food was delicious but the service was not very coordinated as the food was on the table before our cocktail was half... finished. All of the food came at once instead of by course. We requested they allow us to finish our drinks and allow the wineto open up and breathe and they were gracious enough to do so. When you spend $200. for a bottle of wine, the server should knowthe wine needs to breathe and the kitchen should know this so the food is served appropriately. Just saying. Read more
Just ate here tonight to celebrate a birthday. The food was cooked very well. We tried a big variety of dishes and I would say... everything ranged from above average to excellent. The salmon was phenomenal, the best main of the three that I tried. Thetiramisu was good, but the ladyfingers could’ve used a little more rum/coffee—personal preference. Great ambiance. Very nicelayout for the dining area. All in all a solid restaurant. I’m glad Knoxville has this in its repertoire. Read more
This place was horrible. Small portions at extremely expensive prices. The meatballs were plated on a gloopy, tasteless mess... comparable to instant mash and baby food. Gnocchi was rubbery and the portion size of a toddler. Table was wobbly and seats werehard and uncomfortable. Service was not much better. Read more
Walked in without a reservation and was accompanied within a reasonable 20-30 minutes on a Saturday night (in fairness, there... was a home game which probably opened up some tables). The food was superb and the wait staff was on their game. They made my7 year old feel special while also providing top tier service to two very tired parents. I will be back next time I'm in townwith my wife for another wonderful meal. The polenta and meatballs were a warm hug in a bowl...by far the best meal orderedbetween the three of us. Read more
Don't get the Sazerac! It was the worst cocktail I've had this year (took the pic took a sip_thats it)! Then a pasta dish that... didn't have any pasta in it (someone forgot)- everything else was cooked properly but without the pasta. The carbonara thatwasn't! Really disappointing. The pork was good...thin, light crispy just right. Read more
