Emilia

Emilia’s, Thank you! Dinner was sublime! We were immediately & professionally greeted with kindness and sat by the hostess. The Artichoke Fritti, Arugula Salad & Sea Scallops w/ Risotto were cooked to perfection. Exquisite. Our dessert was 100% on point. We had the Butterscotch Budino, which we washed down with a beautiful, freshly made Latte. The Butterscotch was the star of this dessert (which is a rarity to find) and it rendered me absolutely speechless. Right now, a small smile comes across my face just thinking about this wondrous dessert. Utterly delicious. I know I’ll probably be thinking about this remarkable Butterscotch dessert throughout this upcoming week and probably until I visit Emilia’s again soon. Yes, must be very, very soon. Krista was our server and the service she provided from beginning to end was nothing short of perfection, as well. She timely, quitely & subtly (without any interruption) serviced our every need. After ordering our appetizers, entrees and a bottle of Moscato wine, we didn’t need for anything. Fantastically done, Krista. It was a very pleasant and wonderful evening! Cheers to Emilia’s!

A group of friends and I just happened to come in late one Friday evening and we were so pleased with our experience! The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed and intimate evening with the exposed brick walls and dim lights. We all ordered house wine, and were quite please with it, and a large plate of mussels to start! My partner and I shared the gnocchi, mushroom pasta, and eggplant. It was filling but was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. The desserts looked great but we decided to skip them. We had a great time as a group, but this would be a fantastic place for a fancier date night!

My wife and I eat here every year for our anniversary. The food and service is always amazing. The menu options rotate so we’re never bored with the choices but there’s always staples to choose from too. Very accommodating for dietary restrictions as well!

I absolutely love Emilia’s! The vibe is always perfect, and the food is so fresh and delicious! Seriously some of the best chicken I’ve EVER had. Also, the lemon drop martini was perfection! Davy was our server and I have to say, she’s been the best we’ve ever had here. Go ask for her!

The meal we had was one of the best I've ever had! They have a gluten-free risotto that's amazing, and my husband loved his carbonara. I wish we had this restaurant in Nashville, I'd love to come back!

Another great restaurant in downtown Knoxville love getting dressed up for dinner and having a wonderful time with my wife out had a wonderful dinner food was delicious with a great bottle of wine atmosphere was friendly and casual would definitely recommend

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Emilia at the Market Square in Knoxville, TN, and it was an exceptional experience. The service was attentive and professional, ensuring a delightful evening. I began with a Black Manhattan, which was expertly crafted and set the tone for the meal. The Steamed PEI Mussels appetizer was outstanding; the mussels were tender and flavorful, complemented by a savory broth and served with grilled rustic Paysan bread. For the main course, the Roasted Beets with pistachio butter offered a delightful combination of earthy and nutty flavors, while the Mitchell Family Farm Market steak was cooked to perfection, showcasing the quality of local, grass-fed beef. Emilia's commitment to simple, seasonal Italian cuisine is evident in every dish. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Knoxville

The focaccia and caprese salad were excellent; we could have made a meal of those alone. The gnocchi was also delicious. The old fashioned was one of the best old fashioned's I've had. The butterscotch pudding and strawberry with elderflower desserts were unbelievable! The service was great, and we definitely look forward to our next visit!
