   No question the best pasta we've had in the city over the last few years. Perfectly cooked and all 4 choices - bolognese, ravioli with burrata, maccheroni with eggplant & fresh mozz, and wild mushroom - were delicious, freshly prepared, and served immediately when ready cuz they were still steaming. Loved the decor in the back room; service equally lovely.

   The place is good and the atmosphere is really nice. Good location. We were, however, not happy at the beginning because we were immediately told they were going to need the table and had precisely 2 hours—for a holiday dinner. That put a bad taste in our mouths right away. Plus the maitre'd was a jerk about it. So when it came time for the end we waited quite a while after we were done our mains but the waiter did not bring us a dessert menu. You could tell that they wanted us out. We weren't rushed but we already felt 'moved along' and didn't ask about dessert. Food was great.

   A wonderful little SoHo eatery with a cozy/rustic vibe. I don't usually order roasted chicken when I'm dining out because I generally feel like it's something I can easily do better at home, but Emporio's half chicken is so tender, juicy, and has a perfectly crisp skin that makes it perfection! Also had pappardelle bolognese, another of my own specialties, and it did not disappoint. The prosciutto & burrata and grilled baby artichoke starters were delectable. The cocktails were fantastic, too.

   Always enjoy an evening at Emporio. Love the front room! We have not been to the restaurant since COVID lockdowns, but will be back soon. Food is very good, and sensibly priced (for NYC at least). Great wine list with some interesting options. Pizza always outstanding, and pasta first rate also.

   Emporio has a vibe and energy that says “You are going to have a good time.” And then there is the food! There with my family and all four meals were fabulous. Recommendations from our server were useful. Cocktails were also very good. The neighborhood is also great for hanging out before or after a meal.

   The atmosphere was cozy. Music great. Service good but the menu lacked flare and the pasta was flavorless and undercooked. Would not return. Too many other options for the price nearby.

    It was our first time dining at Emporio. The food is fantastic... delicious Italian flavors and a rustic vibe. We ordered a few apps (the artichoke salad is amazing and so are their house wines and prosecco). The focaccia bread is so good too. We ordered the bolognese pasta to share. Unfortunately we did feel majorly rushed when they brought out our entree without us being finished with our apps, especially since there was no room at the table to put another dish down and then they took away food we weren't really done eating. We were visibly upset about feeling rushed. But then the staff turned things around and allowed us to take our time during the rest of our dinner. We were there for a special Birthday Celebration. I had brought in a cake that I baked myself and the staff brought out the cake with my candles lit and sang along for my friend. They did not rush us out after serving us my dessert. So the night went from a not so great feeling of hospitality to a much better ending. Thank you Emporio... Thank you for turning things around and making the night feel really special. We will definitely be back!

    EmporioResponded on November 21, 2022Hello, You wouldn't be able to write this untruthful review if we wouldn't have sat you. Our grace period is 10 minutes officially, however we always keep tables for at least 20 minutes and then we still try to seat guests. It just isn't in our best interest to turn patrons away, we would we? I understand it might have satisfied you to slander us for no reason and hope it won't happen to your small business.

    Our starters were excellent and the mains were good. My meat was massively over salted for my taste but that might be your thing. The ambience was relaxed, dark and moody. We had 2 waiters and it seemed they duplicated efforts but other than that i would gladly go back.

    We had the most wonderful experience at Emporio. We were there with my son and his friends to celebrate his 25th birthday. From the first moment we arrived, we were welcomed and the service was exceptional. The food was outstanding. The gnocchi was heavenly. The margherita pizza was the best ever. The breads were delicious. Don’t miss this lovely experience!

    Food was delicious and service was excellent but noise level was UNBEARABLE. WAY WAY WAY too crowded and cramped, tables squeezed into the back room, the table next to you behind you and in front of you feel like they are on top of you. Felt like I was in a college cafeteria, which made the restaurant feel tacky and cheap. Very unfortunate because the food was delicious and staff attentive and quick. Would never go back because the noise due to how they’ve packed people in is physically UNBEARABLE. They’ve unfortunately turned this into a dinner factory for kids right out of college - like a pregame cafeteria before going out. Was not able to enjoy dinner at all.

    Emporio has great potential. It can be very good, it could also be better. Two outstanding offerings: the kale/brussel sprout salad was sprightly and ample, the appetizer meatballs were large and super flavorful. The papparadelle bolognese was tasty and ample. Emporio is justly famous for its wood-fired oven pizzas. Our mushroom, a good size, was good but not as good as they are capable of: underbaked and soggy center, and though the varied mushrooms were delicious, they were a tad sparse, hidden under arugula. The crispy calamari and shrimp were disappointing – the shrimp were hard and dry. My companion's black pasta was well received. The servers were very pleasant, but the service last night, a Wednesday at 7:00 PM (the place has hopping busy), was unconscionably infuriatingly slow, and main dishes did not arrive together. Wine was good. We got to sit outdoors, although the table for four in the shed was cramped – not complaining, as we will only eat outdoors, and they only have 2 tables for four. I will return and try for an earlier time when they are less busy, specify that I want a well-baked pizza, try other items on their menu, and give them another chance. I would like to see this restaurant succeed – and to reach its full potential.
