FOOD I enjoyed everything here including the French toast, the ricotta pancakes, and what my group ordered. INSIDE is clean and very bright. It has an upscale diner type feel with big windows that let in a lot of light. They do have outdoor seating. SERVICE was great as my friend knew the server. I'd definitely come back and eat here to try other items on the menu. Parking is easy at Trader Joe's parking structure then getting it validated at the restaurant but beware they only validate for a certain number of hours. read more

Whelp, I hate to say it, but the food and service and even the room here isn't good. It's just not up to snuff at all for all the reasons that count. So sorry to say. read more

Food is awesome and very consistent. There is cozy and bright Indoor dining , as well as plenty of outdoor tables with heaters. It's a perfect location with plenty of parking. My two favorite dishes on the menu is dover sole with potatoes and broccolini and the gluten free penne pomodoro. It is fantastic.! I highly recommend this lovely neighborhood Italian restaurant. read more

ABOUT Emilia is a beautiful, classy Italian restaurant. It is close to Cedars Sinai Hospital. It is next door to Trader Joe's which is in the same building. PARKING (IMPORTANT) Park in the Trader Joe's parking lot around the corner for free validated parking from the restaurant (2.5 hour validation). There is also metered parking on the street but it can be tough to find. OUR ORDER For breakfast or brunch I highly suggest the ricotta pancakes. They are very light and fluffy and come with fresh fruit and syrup. My dining companion also loved the frittata bianca which was a vegetable frittata that came with a side of potatoes or fruit. Portions sizes were generous. Food was delicious. AMBIANCE AND SERVICE Service is so nice and friendly here. They are very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere and music was very relaxing. It was not very busy for weekday breakfast so it's nice if you want to go somewhere more low-key. They do have an outdoor patio but the art deco inside is the way to go, in my opinion. Also, there is counter space inside which would be a comfortable place to eat solo. PRO TIP Emilia is part of the Caruso rewards program (ie. rewards for shopping the Caruso owned businesses like The Grove and Americana at Brand etc.). Download the Caruso Signature app and upload the credit card you will be using. Also check in on the app to earn rewards on your dining purchase and/or if you already have enough points on the app, you can use your credit from shopping at other Caruso destinations to redeem a dining reward here. They also give you a reward for your birthday which can be used at Emilia. WHO IS EMILIA? There is no person named Emilia. Emilia is actually a place in Italy. According to my research on the Internet, the region is known for its delicious food. ADDITIONALLY You can make reservations through Opentable. They had a special truffle menu which I did not try since I was there for breakfast but truffles are a real delicacy and can be a delicious splurge. I think it's a very cool feature. Buon appetito! read more

I have been here for breakfast a few times. It is located in a beautiful place with big windows. Sitting outside is quiet and peaceful. Their scrambled eggs are done perfectly. My favorite part is the cookies and donuts they serve at the counter. read more

Food is good. I had the focaccia with mozzarella, tomatoes and arugula. It's big and comes with a sunny side egg but with black pepper on it. French toast is good - not my favorite because it's too cinnamon-ee for me. Prosciutto with melon - dad says outstanding. Frittata Bianca with the whole egg - very good my partner says. Julio was the best part ! The heat is the only unfortunate thing. Dad was sweating the whole time and there was nothing to be done. read more

My daughter and I had dinner here last night after spending the day at a museum. The decor is very nice. Lots of natural light, cute color scheme and furniture (has a bit of European feel to it). The service was good. Although there is not a lot of street parking, you can park in the building garage, and the restaurant will validate. My daughter and I specifically chose this restaurant as she wanted linguine with clams, and I saw this restaurant had that on their permanent menu. Their menu is not extensive (less than 10 pasta dishes). We were the first table seated on a Saturday night. When we left, there were only 2 other tables seated. They bring out some bread and breadsticks, both of which were good. They also bring out some julienned vegetables, which I've never seen before and didn't really get. We had: Fried Calamari (4.5/5) - best dish of the night. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried and the calamari had a lot of flavor. Came with some fried zucchini as well. Comes with accompanying marinara and ranch sauces. Tagliatelle alla Bolognese (4/5) - Good version of a standard bolognese dish. Linguine with "clams" (2/5) - As I mentioned, this was the reason we came here. We were also the first table seated on a Saturday night. When we ordered this and the bolognese, the waiter told us these 2 were the most popular pasta dishes at the restaurant. Unfortunately, he came back a few minutes later to tell us they had "run out of clams." Very disappointing given they only have 9 pasta dishes on the menu and claim this is one of their signature dishes. Wouldn't most restaurants be "ready" for the Sat night crowd? We got to the restaurant a bit before they opened and saw what I assumed was the staff meeting prior to opening. They don't talk about what they have/don't have? He said they could substitute shrimp. Given the limited alternatives, we agreed. The shrimp was pretty sad. The overall dish had a bitter aftertaste. It just seems to me that for a restaurant to conduct business this way just seems like they don't care anymore. Overall, a disappointing experience. read more

Enjoyed a nice brunch following a surgery at Cedars. The ambiance was open, bright and airy. Started with a bold cafe latte paired with a scrumptious Italian donut filled with strawberry jam.

Slow service and food was not great. I came for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday night and it was empty . I ordered the carcofi salad, cacio pepe risotto and steak salad . Nothing tasted good and it took almost an hour for the entrees to come out. I asked the steak to be cooked medium -well and it came out medium -rare. I ended up sending it back to get it cooked more. They also messed up on the risotto and had to make it again because they added asparagus instead of mushroom. For an empty restaurant , I expected better service and zero mistakes . I will definitely not be coming back . read more

The food and service were very good! The parking is a little tricky, but you can easily find the spot!

Somehow took no pictures of this meal which is a total shame because it was amazing. Two friends and I came here on our last night in town to celebrate an awesome trip. This was a great last stop to round it all out! Everything from the cocktails and wine, to the bread and charcuterie and entrees was perfect and we were delighted. The romantic vibe was set as soon as we got there! Our server was super professional, and he recommended an amazing sparking red--which I wouldn't have ordered without his recommendation--but I loved. I ordered the penne ortolana, which was so good, and I still haven't stopped thinking about the eggplant caponata. I will definitely be keeping this on my LA itinerary :) read more

I've been wanting to try this place for their pasta after hearing great things about it. When I finally got the chance to go, it turned out to be too early in the day--they were only serving breakfast then. I decided to try their Toast all'avocado, and it was good! The coffee was great, too, which I appreciate since I'm particular about my coffee. The ambiance is calm and peaceful, making it a lovely spot for a relaxing morning meal. The staff was very nice and added to the positive experience. I'll definitely be back to try their pasta when I get the chance! read more

Came here during the weekday for breakfast and found it through Yelp. The place is small but very elegant. They offer indoor and outdoor dining.

For first timers I would definitely recommend the ricotta pancakes and poached eggs. read more

I attended a breakfast there for work. It was an amazing little Italian restaurant at the corner of Le Doux and Burton in Beverly Hills. The team at Emilia was amazing and very attentive. I was greeted as soon as the door opened by one of the team (not a hostess). They weren't super busy at breakfast but had a steady flow of dinners. The food was amazing! I had a cappuccino and a Tramezzino Tostato. There were a few people in my group that ordered the Avocado Toast and they don't go light on the avocado! The decor is as welcoming as the staff. They have indoor and outdoor dining...and parking! The outdoor seating is lovely, but it think it may get a bit loud due to the location being near San Vicente. They are next to the Trader Joe's and 1-2 blocks from the Beverly Center. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful breakfast! read more

Cute and quaint on the corner you find this coffee shop. Handsome waiters and staff take care of you. They have outside seating and wear a shield gloves and face mask to keep your Covid stress at ease here. My latte was perfect and my sandwich cheesy goodness. The french toast with lots of oats and cinnamon to compliment the rest. The presentation of the Eggs Benedict with asparagus with executed perfectly. Very quiet as is Beverly Hills now since Covid started. Perfect spot to talk and catch up with friends. read more

The food was very disappointing. The Ricotta pancakes were dry and tasteless. The bacon was greasy and low quality. The only redeeming qualities were that the price was not bad for the area and the interior is bright and decent enough to be a basic brunch spot. read more

I don't get it. Based on Yelp and google reviews, I assumed this was a hidden gem in LA. Boy was I wrong. The beet carpaccio needed salt and acid, and the yogurt sauce that was supposed to be on it was little to none. The truffle risotto had good flavor, but the first time it came out the rice was crunchy. I sent it back. It came back out still very very Al dente. For $75, it should have been perfect. The cioppino had good flavor, but there wasn't enough broth. There was maybe 1 or 2 tiny scallops, there was 2 large shrimp and then some small shrimp that appeared to be the small frozen bay shrimp. The squid was very tough. Again - for these prices, you expect better quality seafood. Not going back. read more

Literally no one except us on a Saturday afternoon. We were surprised by how little attraction this restaurant/brunch spot got. The food was good, & service incredible. It's very cute inside, but I'd say it's average. Nothing blew me out of the water... plus I really expected a whole lot more to their pancakes, but that was probably something I wouldn't recommend. Their pastas are A++, just Al dente enough, & the burrata salad I also highly recommend. It's a cute little spot that did not disappoint, but it also wasn't the best we had where we had our minds blown out of the water. Overall a 7/10 experience & food. read more

I wish I could rate Emilia higher. Went for an early Mother's Day dinner with a party of 5. I polled my family and they said it was really 3.5 stars but if forced to decide they would round down not up so we're at a 3. To start, we had the Melanzane Parmigiana (eggplant parmigiana), insalata di cavoletti (Brussels sprout salad), Insalata Emilia, and insalata caprese. Everyone enjoyed the eggplant. The Brussels sprouts salad was decent. The caprese is hard to mess up and was only ok. The Emilia salad was a definite loser at our table. For entrees we got the Linguine all'Aragosta (lobster pasta), Brasato di Manzo (short rib secondi), lamb rack special, Penne Ortolana (pasta with veggies), and Salmone Scottato (salmon secondi). The lobster was way over cooked and the linguine was not anything special. The short rib was pretty ok but a little dry and also somehow too saucy. The risotto it came with was pretty good. The lamb rack was tasty but was nowhere close to medium rare that we asked for. The potatoes and broccolini it came with were disappointing. The penne ortolana was listed as penne with mixed veggies and olive oil. It turned out to be some sort of pesto sauce but tasted like it was made from dried or stewed herbs and the veggies were tiny diced vegetables. The salmon was the far and away favorite and was legitimately delicious. We got a bottle of Sauvignon blanc that was pretty good for around $50 which is reasonable, and brought our own Shiraz for $25 corkage. We didn't realize they had a larger wine menu than what's on the website (which is mostly wines available by the glass or carafe) but we likely could have found a nice red on the longer wine list. It's not huge but it looked like a good selection. The ambience was pretty good and the restaurant itself was nice. The service was really lovely and warm and along with the salmon is the only reason I would give this restaurant 3 stars. We ended up having a really nice time, but it's unfortunate the food didn't live up to our expectations. read more

A nice quiet night after a long day at work. This is what Emilia offers over smith old school jazz, (think sultry trumpets) and a nice glass of wine with candle light.

Situated toward the north end of the La Cienega restaurant row is this classy Italian place with modern and sun-drenched dining parlor. We came on an early Saturday evening. The waiters were all in soft white shirts and black trousers, while the hosts/ managers (yes, there were more than one) sported casual and GQ-ish Italian suits. Everyone was super polite and attentive..... you know you pay for all this! ;) We ordered some pasta and salads to share, risottos to go with the Branzino -- all good and fresh. The desserts were our favorite- both the tiramisu and the Creme Boules were delicious. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 was I felt the dinner prices were a bit higher than reasonable -- the quality was excellent but the portion sizes were small. I heard their brunch menu is more reasonable so hope to come back and try them sometime. read more

In a relatively short period of time, this restaurant seems to have attracted quite a following, and it's easy to see why. The food is delectable and the service is on point. Came here for lunch with some of my co-workers to celebrate my last day on the job. We were a bit uncertain of the final number joining, and the servers were very accommodating about putting tables together for us and letting us place orders for those who showed up later. I ordered the insalata di carciofi, which was quite delicious and not too heavy. Everyone was happy with their orders and the kitchen was also very accommodating of special requests. The manager insisted that we try some of their desserts, so they brought out a panna cotta, a tiramisu, and a creme brulee. All were delicious and worth saving space for. It's a pity we only discovered this place on my last day, but better late than never! read more
