About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
Emilia’s Aldgate is a fresh pasta restaurant located in the City within a few minutes’ walk of Aldgate/Aldgate East tube stations. It's our second restaurant following on from our first critically acclaimed and award-winning restaurant.

At Emilia’s all our pasta is made fresh every morning in our restaurant in full view of passers-by and served from our fully open kitchen. In true respect of Italian tradition, we use certified Italian produce and try our best to ensure no additives, artificial ingredients, preservatives or anything unnatural is in our food. We believe that food is much better when it’s 100% natural.

Our restaurant has a mixture of chef’s bar/counter seating (overlooking the open kitchen), normal tables, high top bar seats and a covered outdoor terrace.

P.S. We care for our people, our communities and the world around us. Please visit our website (www.emiliaspasta.com) if you would like to learn more about our approach to Sustainability.

    Really nice restaurant in Aldgate with very tasty authentic pasta meals. Service was very good. A really nice Saturday lunch escaping the heat outside. Hoping to try out there other branches.

    Lovely food and attentive staff. Very busy but you don’t feel rushed. Only downside is the steady stream of delivery drivers which speaks to its popularity

    Went for a business lunch with a party of 8 people. Half the table was unhappy with their pastas either too salty (for carbonara) or too cheesy (for ravioli). The truffle pasta has truffle oil and not actual shavings. We ordered desserts. The portions were decent but the gelato comes in a huge bowl which was not mentioned at the time of ordering - so wasted most of it.

    Staff very pleasant Had the salmon carbonara, the fish overpowered the taste of carbonara, far too rich

    It took 15 minutes for them to ask us what we wanted to drink (and we had to flag them down). It then took another 20 minutes to ask us for food order. Food came quickly and was ok, nothing special. We had to flag someone down for the bill, and then within 20 minutes we got the card machine! Very slow all around. Had to flag people always and it felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there. Sorry to the staff

    It was very good. I ordered the pomodoro pasta with the burrata and it was sublime. Also if you’re into greens order the rocket and Parmesan entree. It is perfectly dressed and so delicious.

    The bruschetta had multicoloured tomatoes of different sizes and consistency with pieces of garlic that frankly did not taste anything like experienced in other Italian restaurants. The salmon carbonara also does not rate anything like experienced elsewhere. Judging by reviews I’ve see online this place is overrated and not good value for money.
