Emilia trattoria & café

Such a charming find! Emilia's is a small, home-style restaurant that feels intimate & cozy, perfect for a date night or a small group. The food is fantastic, & I especially recommend the homemade pasta. The owner & staff are wonderful & the service was top-notch, especially Guylaine & Pascal. There's free parking on-site, & because the space is quite small, I definitely recommend making a reservation.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment entre amis dans ce restaurant. L'ambiance & le lieu sont vraiment cosy. Le service est agréable mais peut être un peu long.
La nourriture est entièrement faite maison & est tout simplement EXCELLENTE !!! Les pâtes sont très bien cuites & bien gouteuses. J'ai pris les Emilia Pasta. C'était divin.
Cela vaut vraiment l'attente. Il y a également un bon choix de desserts (mention spéciale pour le tiramisu).

Nous reviendrons !

We decided to try this place since we've been looking for a nice local Italian restaurant & everything was amazing. My fiancée had the veal parm with pasta & I had the Rigatoni alla Genovese & the fresh ingredients were flavourful & so tasty. The pasta that came with the veal parm was simple but it was so good, nice garlic flavour & the aglio e olio spaghetti was amazing & cooked perfectly. The Rigatoni alla Genovese had some pulled beef & together with the sauce, it was perfect. They grind an actual Parmigiano Reggiano at the table for you! None of that pre-grinded stuff, it was very good. For dessert, we had the pistachio cannoli & tiramisu & both were so good. Everything satisfied our cravings & we will definitely be going back.

Lovely place very cute & romantic. The music is great & it is lovely on the terrace in summer. The food is incredible. It's hard to find really quality Italian restaurants in South shore & this is a gem even in comparison to many in Montreal. The veal is amazing the hand made pasta is to die for & I kid you not the tiramisu is EXACTLY how my mom makes it.

The rantings are high because the place deserves it. Props to the owners & the chef!
All the staff is very nice & welcoming.

I have been a few times now, during the cafe hours in the morning to work, lunch time & dinner. The food is always great, the staff are friendly & the atmosphere is wonderful.

Now that the weather is warmer I recommend sitting on the lovely terrace & having dinner! For dinner time I recommend you reserve. They have a private rooms upstairs for bigger groups.

The home made pasta, the pizza & salads are delicious. I also bought pasta from them for home which was great as well.

For an inviting ambiance & a true taste of authentic Italian cuisine, Émilia's is a standout destination. The service was flawless, with our server, Vero, embodying warmth, expertise, & charm. The homemade pasta is an absolute delight-a'must order' & the veal parmigiana was executed to perfection. Émilia's is a culinary gem that I wholeheartedly recommend.

Our evening at Emilia was very pleasurable. The kitchen made us a funky looking pizza which made us all laugh. The pasta & salad were also very delicious & the drinks & cocktails were very tasty as well. The staff is friendly & the ambiance is cozy. Will definitely be going more often. Thank you for the night, it was great experience!
