I just had a great meal!
The food was AMAZING, the service was IMPECCABLE!
Do yourself a favor & go there to see it with your own eyes.
(P.s. The portions are not big, but are enough for one person)

Quel belle soirée!

Mon conjoint & moi avons visité Da Emma samedi dernier & nous avons grandement apprécié notre expérience.

Des plats simples mais très bien exécutés! Un saumon qui fond dans la bouche & des pâtes farcies généreuses & parfaitement al dente. Le tiramisu était la finale idéale! L'ambiance feutrée & romantique rappelle une vieille cave à vin.

Mon seul reproche serait les chaises qui pourraient être plus confortables. Sinon, je n'ai rien à dire.

Noua serons certainement de retour chez Da Emma pour un souper en amoureux ou un bon repas en famille.

About 30 years ago, an Italian woman named Emma opened this restaurant. She did all the cooking herself, serving up authentic Roman dishes-think roasted lamb, roasted pork, & lots of meat. It's a far cry from the sparse, sun-baked cuisine of southern Italy, where pasta & tomatoes often take center stage. The walls are lined with photos of Hollywood stars, European celebrities, & local personalities posing with Emma, proof of her restaurant's success. She's since retired to Miami, & now her grandson runs the place.

Lives up the the hype. My only gripe was no one to meet us at entrance. Younger staff seemed preoccupied with each other & phones. Our waiter was great.
