We recently discovered this hidden gem, and we were absolutely thrilled with everything! Can’t wait yo try their Sunday brunch!For my kid's birthday party, we decided to order from Emi Rossi, and the pies were a huge hit with all the guests. It's easily our favorite pizza place so far!
Pizza was good, pasta sauce was veryyy good, but pasta itself was such a disappointment, taste like store bought dry pasta that couldn’t pick up the flavor of the sauce.

A wonderful pizzeria, loved the fungi pizzas. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, restaurant is in a quiet corner of Rockville, Md, a perfect spot

I visited this restaurant tonight with family for dinner. We had a little wait (10-15 mins) but that was expected for a Friday night. The restaurant called when our table was ready and we were promptly seated. Parker was our server and he was great! We ordered the following items: Fried Calamari, Parma Pizza, Salsiccia, buratta appetizer, and crème brûlée. I would highly recommend the restaurant if you are in the area and looking for a good and fresh pizza. I will definitely be back to try their brunch soon!

This is by far my favorite pizza and Italian place, they are always busy, always great service and the food is absolutely amazing, really can't go wrong...Parking: Big shopping plaza, no problem with parkingKid-friendliness: It is kids friendly and in fact expect to have families dining in with small children
The bruschetta is amazing although I wish it came in smaller pieces. The pizza here is pretty good and often ranks among the top pizza in maryland. When it came to the chicken parm and gnocchi bolognese, it was very good but salty. I was needing a lot of water after the meal and had a tingle in the back if my throat for several hours.

We got a takeout order - the bruschetta, burrata, gnocchi, and chicken parm dishes. Bruschetta had two large pieces of bread, and they were delicious. I could have probably had another. Gnocchi was good but the sauce was a bit salty for my taste, and I wished the gnocchi had a little more chewiness to it. Chicken parm was delicious and had a little spice to it, which I liked. I only had a small bite as it was my husband's order. He had the whole dish and thought it was too salty. Probably the same sauce as my gnocchi. The burrata dish wasn't bad either. Overall, I would probably order from here again, but not the same pasta dishes.
Love this little gem tucked away in Rockville! Prices are a little pricier (~$20+ for pizzas...) but the food is tasty and pizzas are sized decently. If you aren't an anchovy person, I would advise against the Caesar salad. I didn't mind but it's definitely heavy on the fishier, salty anchovy flavor. Vodka pizza was good and had large pieces of crispy bacon. Wish it had a little more vodka sauce. Chicken parm is generously sized. Good for sharing! Last time we came here we had the croquettes and pasta as well. Excited to try more small plates.

I love finding places that surprise me - this was just that. Nestled away in a shopping plaza, Ema Rossi Pizzeria is serving delectable Italian food that you absolutely have to try!The menu is simple, yet exciting with plenty of options to choose from. There are also specials that may change depending on when you go. We did not try the specials. However we did try the Salsiccia pizza and Veal Bolognese. We also had the Suppli as an appetizer but I didn’t catch a picture of that. All dishes were tasty, fresh, and tasted amazing. I cannot speak to authenticity - as I’m not an Italian food connoisseur let alone seen Italy. However, this restaurant seems and feels on par with a very authentic experience. As a sweet treat we had the Tiramisu for dessert which was also amazing! I love that the coffee (used in the dish) had a bit of spices brewed with it - I could at least taste cardamom and potentially cinnamon in the coffee-dipped ladyfingers.This place feels like a place you have to go back to over and over until you try everything on the menu. I’ll definitely come back one day!Other details that may be helpful: they don’t take reservations, only walk-ins. We had about a 20 minute wait on a Friday night which, in my opinion, isn’t too bad! Service was fast and attentive.

Absolutely scrumptious! The pizza is perfectly crispy and thin. The margherita piu is sweet, savory and slightly kicky. So warm and cozy inside, with a delightful staff. Delighted to find this in my new neighborhood. I will be a regular!
