Emilia's is a hidden gem. We had several dinners here while we were visiting a family member at Cedars Sinai. The pasta is excellent - freshly made and deliciously prepared. The servers are amazingly friendly and helpful. We were served by Carmelo on two evenings and by Eddie another evening. Both were friendly, attentive, and made our experience quite enjoyable. Our favorite dishes were Insalata di Carciofi and Pappardelle alla Griglia. I thoroughly enjoyed the cannoli for dessert and my niece was delighted by the cappuccino with caramel. They have a nice selection of wine, or you can bring your own for a reasonable corkage fee. They also have a comfortable outdoor patio. My family and I highly recommend this excellent restaurant.

Correct place, to highlight the minestrone soup, the fast and friendly service. Moderate price.

This little sleeper of an Italian restaurant which has such good food. I'm always surprised by how few people are eating at the restaurant. If food quality like this I expect the place swarming with hungry people who live good food.

I never feel great about leaving poor reviews but want to ensure that others don't make the same mistake I did.I booked this for Monday, Feb 12, 2024 for an early V-Day lunch with my wife -- what a mistake. As an Italian citizen myself, this place is not authentic and the food really needs work. The wine they served was spoilt, the restaurant itself was freezing and the food was largely flavorless. The wait staff was more interested in goofing around than waiting on tables.Unfortunately, one of the worst restaurants I've been to in LA over the last 3-years. Will definitely never go back. My advice: steer clear of this restaurant.

We went for breakfast and the food was delicious and the service was great. We would definitely go back.
Our experience at this restaurant was top notch. The food was excellent, but the service was perfect. They were so nice and accommodating. It was literally the best restaurant for kids, even though they don't have a children's menu! They offered half portions of pasta for our kids, and made a special "plain" dish for my picker eater. They also were very patient and helpful in dealing with a food allergy. Casual dress was just fine, although the interior and the food feel "fancy." The location is extremely convenient (just around the corner) if you are staying at the SLS hotel. Highly recommended.

If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Italian experience in LA, look no further than Emilia! This charming restaurant instantly transports you to Italy with its warm atmosphere and friendly service.From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by Eddy, a waiter who made us feel welcome and comfortable. His attentiveness and recommendations throughout the night were top-notch.Now, let's get to the star of the show: the food! We started with the crispy calamari, perfectly light and seasoned with a touch of lemon. The risotto was creamy and bursting with flavor, and the ravioli pasta, oh my goodness, it was simply divine. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and made with care.Overall, Emilia exceeded our expectations on all levels. The delicious food, attentive service, and charming atmosphere made it a truly memorable night. We highly recommend checking it out and giving Eddy our regards!P.S. I hope Google Maps allows you to tag Eddy in this review, he truly deserves some recognition!

Really cute and delicious restaurant. I am visiting for work and they took incredible care of me- I got a pesto pasta that my kind waiter recommended and it could not have been better. In lieu of being lewd, I usually only smoke after………..but I had a cigarette when I finished my meal. It’s that good. Highly recommend.

I just discovered this hidden gem. The food is terrific. My gf and I enjoyed three huge entrees and a carafe of wine for under $100. And it's fine dining so that is a great value. Absolutely terrific
