Prosciutto & Burrata
Ellen C.

Emporio was a frustrating dinner, mostly because the service really derailed the night. We had an 8:45 reservation and weren't seated until around 9:00, which would have been manageable if things had improved from there. Instead, we felt forgotten once we sat down. We didn't get water at first, and we didn't put in our order until 9:31, only after we had to track down our waitress. We ordered the prosciutto and burrata appetizer, I got the branzino, and my friends ordered pastas. The appetizer took about 20 minutes to come out, and when it finally arrived, it was wrong, so it had to be sent back. That meant even more waiting, which felt pretty ridiculous at that point. The atmosphere also didn't help. It was very loud, to the point where it was difficult to hear people at the table. I can appreciate a lively restaurant, but this crossed into uncomfortable. Maybe it was an off night, but between the delayed seating, lack of attentiveness, missing water, incorrect appetizer, and noisy dining room, the experience was hard to enjoy.

Pizza Prosciutto Margherita
Yahaira V.

Absolutely delicious! Everything was so flavorful and prepared perfectly. The focaccia & ricotta, and tagliatelle Alfredo were my favorites. The pizza was also amazing you can never go wrong with brick oven. The dim lighting and ambiance make it perfect for a girls night or a date night. The service was great, and I highly recommend making a reservation since it does get really busy. We were seated at the bar, which we didn't mind at all.

Dressing the pizza

Fabuloso! This was our first stop for our Foods of NY Tour with Bert. We watched as they made pizza from scratch with fresh dough, basil, mozzarella, and prosciutto. The pizza was paired with a small glass of red wine and amazing new friends hailing from down under. We also learned that our tour guide has had a Leo (swoon) sighting here in the past. In general though, the vibes at Emporio are top notch. I'd definitely come back for a full experience with more of that delicious pizza.

Focaccia
Leora S.

We came to Emporio around 5 p.m., and it was pretty empty, so we were able to get a nice seat right away. Our waiter was attentive and quickly brought us water and menus. We started with the focaccia and croquettes. The focaccia was really good I think they use the same dough (or something very similar) for their pizza. It came with whipped ricotta and honey, which was my favorite part. The sweetness of the honey paired perfectly with the slight saltiness of the ricotta. The croquettes were also delicious. They were oval-shaped with a crispy, golden exterior, and the inside was filled with hot risotto and gooey melted mozzarella that stretched with every bite. Next, we had the Margherita pizza. It was a thin-crust pizza, but unfortunately the cheese kept sliding off every slice, which made it a little frustrating to eat. Some of the crust was also burnt, so I ended up eating around those parts and dipping the remaining crust into the whipped ricotta and honey, which made it much more enjoyable. Lastly, we ordered the Burrata Ravioli. This was probably my favorite entrée. The ravioli had a delicate, thin pasta that was cooked well, and the creamy cheese filling oozed out with each bite. The mushrooms served alongside it were especially flavorful and complemented the dish nicely. The total came to about $90, which felt reasonable for three people. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a cute spot for a mid-range dinner or casual date night. While the pizza was a bit disappointing, the appetizers and ravioli made up for it.

Squid Ink Spaghetti
Katie C.

An underrated brunch spot in the heart of soho! Have been here many times and each time I've been greeted with the same amazing food, service and hospitality. Came here for a brunch with a couple of my gfs and it did not disappoint. The back room has a skylight that makes the restaurant light up and feel like you're not in NY (in a good way). Steak and eggs with chimichurri and waffles with blueberry sauce were standout brunch dishes. Their pizzas and pastas are just as amazing! You can't go wrong with anything here. Will be coming here again so soon!!

We finally made it to Emporio, and overall it was a solid night out. We did not have a reservation, so they let us know upfront we had about an hour and a half to eat. That was more than enough time. We were done with about 20 minutes to spare, and honestly we could have been out even sooner. The one thing that slowed us down was waiting on the check, but even with that we had time to breathe. Staff was friendly throughout. The space is cozy, and by cozy I mean they pack a lot of tables in there. It is tight. There were some noisy kids nearby but they were happy kids, so it was okay. Happy kids are tolerable kids. Now for the food. The pizza was good, but I have to be fair to myself here. I went in expecting that deep smoky char you get from a brick oven, and Emporio is actually a Roman style wood fired pizza. Two different things. That is on me for mixing them up. Once I checked their website and saw what it actually was, I had to recalibrate. For what it is, the pizza was good. A little on the softer side, but tasty. My expectations were just pointed in the wrong direction. The real star of the night was the rigatoni pasta. Wifey's choice, and she was right. Al dente, well seasoned, and honestly it outshined everything else on the table. That one is a must order. The octopus was also excellent. It had that smoky flavor we both love and it delivered. No complaints there at all. And the ginger beer? Potent. You have been warned. If I go back, and I think I will, I am going in with the right expectations this time. Skip the assumptions, order the pasta, get the octopus, and grab a ginger beer if you are feeling brave.

Tagliatelle Alfredo
Shuba S.

Came here as I was craving pasta and we were super hungry from shopping. Cute decor and good service but food was okay. The pasta in my eggplant pasta was not at all Al dente-- I felt like giving it back. But I was already hungry. The sauce was spectacular. The Alfredo pasta was good but nothing to talk home about.

Tiramisu Espresso Martini
Lindsay L.

I forgot to take a photo of the food because I was in the moment and REALLG wanted to eat. It was so tasty. My bestie and I shared the squid ink spaghetti and branzino. Both were very good. If I had to choose one though I would choose the branzino. I'm obsessed with the green and white sauce the chefs made for it. Both dishes were very balanced with the right amount of sauce, veggies, and seafood. The tiramisu espresso martini I had was very cute. But the alcohol was strong. I wish it had more flavor vs a lot of alcohol but still appreciate everything and the presentation. It was still good. For dessert we shared we shared an orange cake with ice cream. It was wonderful. I wish I had tried more desserts but I was so full. The service was excellent. Our server was so kind and checked in with us regularly. Would totally go back

Spicy Sopressata

Happy hour is only available at the bar and ends at 6 p.m., which I didn't realize at first. The pizza from the happy hour menu was noticeably smaller than the regular menu version. I ordered the spicy soppressa on the bartender's recommendation -- it was okay. We later moved to the dining room and ordered two pastas. Both were decent, but the rigatoni was undercooked -- it was hard and chewy, which made it less enjoyable. Overall, an average experience. I will come here again.

Pizza oven
M L.

Enjoyed all the dishes including dessert but I did not get to take a photo of the panna cotta. Lovely bright spacious back room. Only issue was that we discovered not till we were back home that the waitress charged us for 2 desserts we did not order. It was busy and she was the only server and a couple of times food was mistakenly almost brought to our tables which leads me to believe she was inputting wrong in the rush. Otherwise lovely brunch and food.

Back room - beautiful light!
Dessa R.

Food was delicious, and I could devour the focaccia & ricotta all day! I loved that it was thin crust focaccia. The pappardelle bolognese was delicious as well, great flavor and portion. The Bellini's were yummy and not too sweet and most importantly didn't give me a headache. Lastly, the affogato & gelato was so good! The front of the house was cozy and warm, however the back room had an enormous and gorgeous skylight windows! Overall, the 3 star grade was mostly for the service. Although the food itself was delicious and the wait for the food was short, service was slow. It was a bit slow to be able to place our orders. Unsure if our arrival was during a shift/menu change from brunch to dinner, however we had to mostly be proactive in getting attention of staff versus staff being attentive. During most of our dining, there were no more than 2 tables occupied in the back room besides us. I'd come back however for the focaccia & ricotta and to try more dishes

beautiful ambiance!

9/17/26 I was in Harlem for a short while then made my way…read moreback to Penn Station and decided to stop by this restaurant. It was hard to find gps wise if you've never been there, I went past it by a city block. It's located in a gigantic plaza that you get to by the stairs outside. There was free wine in the elevator that you really couldn't see in (very dark) I didn't indulge in it the first time. It was pretty busy inside, since I was a party of 1, I asked if it's mandatory to sit by the bar and it wasn't. I was seated on the left side across from the bar at a smaller table by the window. At first I was bothered by the foot traffic behind me but pushed the table further in & felt better. Now for the food: I ordered the caramelized onion torta and listen it was wayy too rich for just one person, this is definitely a sharing appetizer for dare I say minimum 3 people. The richness was definitely overkill, I brought my own sparkling water but ordered an Arnold Palmer to calm down that flavor. While it had a good crust on the cheese and nice pastry on the bottom, I wish I had ordered something else. Quite expensive to not enjoy it (5/10). I passed on the vegetable part of the menu. Entree: Cavatelli Allo Scoglio, so delicious. I've never had that type of pasta in a dish before but it compliments it well, cooked to perfection. It comes with plenty of crab and the lemon zest balanced the dish just right against the acids of the tomatoes. (9/10) Dessert: I was torn if I should order dessert or not but what's a meal without sweets. They had plenty of gelato flavors but I decided to go with hazelnut and man I was not disappointed. BEST gelato I've ever had. It was so creamy and delectable that I still think about it to this day. The cup it comes in seems small but they pack it with more than you think. I almost passed on the candied hazelnuts on top but please don't do it lol, chefs kiss just perfect. (10/10) On the way out I was going to try the wine and grabbed a glass but again in the dark elevator I turned on my flashlight to see the cups there were all used. I think they should come around often to leave clean glasses or put up a sign to identify which are clean and which aren't. Overall I'd return for the entree and dessert and maybe try a vegetable option over the other appetizers. Also, props to my waiter for being attentive and kind.

There are numerous locations now in the city but this was my first time going and I was definitely eyeing it for awhile. They do weekday lunch specials of $14 pastas, boozey weekend brunches for around $24/25(not including food), and $12 Sunday dinner specials on entrees as well as happy hours on weekdays from 4-7pm that include: $7 snacks, $8 wine, $5 beer, $9 spritzes, and $9 wells. I happened to come in for Labor Day Brunch on Saturday. We both said we were going to do unlimited but honestly could only finish about a pitcher of mimosa and they only charged us for the one pitcher was the nice part. I went with Carbonara Pasta and my boyfriend had the egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich with fries. I'm not gonna lie, I've never gone to aycd brunch and have not finished my food but I could not finish my entree it was so massive and filling. I haven't had a pasta this rich in ages and it was so so good and I am all for not having those skimpy little portions. He couldn't finish his sandwich either. I tried one of the fries and it was nicely battered thick cut wedge fries. Maybe I haven't been eating out alot lately but I was legit impressed. The staff was wonderful and thoughtful. The cafe in itself is very cute and Italian with black and white marble in the bathrooms, white marble bar top, hanging plants, interesting light fixtures. I'm definitely going to make a point to come back soon.

The experience was very disappointing. The menu labels many items as gluten free, but I was told…read morethere's cross contamination. This means those dishes aren't truly gluten free for people with celiac disease or anyone who has to avoid gluten. When I pointed that out to my server, he just gave me a blank stare. I tried to explain why labeling those items as gluten free is misleading, but he seemed completely disinterested, even annoyed, dismissed what I was saying, and simply responded that the pasta is gluten free. I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.

They were pretty busy for a Tues night when we got there, but they had a good table ready for us. They noted that we were celebrating an anniversary and brought us out champagne without having to say anything or ask. We ordered a lot! Started with an espresso martini and my husband got a bourbon drink. The espresso martini did not disappoint! Then we got the mushrooms with a fried egg on top, foccacia bread and the crispy potatoes as sides. The crispy potatoes were my fave. They had great flavor and crispiness. For entrees, we got three pastas. The spaghetti (which was a white sauce spaghetti), the bucatini and the truffle ravioli. They accidentally brought us a cacia e peppe out instead of the ravioli so we got to try a 4th. The pasta was ALL so delicious. The ravioli was my fave. The spaghetti was also very unique because it didn't look or taste like a tomato sauce. The service was great and we really appreciated the nice extra touches with the champagne toast and what I considered a better table than most! It was a corner table on the top floor for 4 people when we were only two people! Gave us some extra space so we weren't on top of another party. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back the next time we go to NY!

The interior was completely packed, and the noise level was high enough for my smart watch to complain. To sample a bit of everything, we shared two orders of focaccia, four pastas, and one dessert. HOUSE-MADE FOCACCIA - 10 Super bouncy with a bit of chew, this was probably the best focaccia I've ever eaten. It came generously drizzled with olive oil and alongside chopped peppers drenched in even more olive oil, which added a nice little kick. We highly recommend starting with this. TAGLIATELLE - 27 Out of the four pastas, this was my absolute favorite. I love the thin yet chewy texture of the tagliatelle, and the bolognese sauce was rich and hearty. Finished with just the right amount of Parmigiano, both the pasta texture and sauce were sheer perfection. PICI 'CACIO E PEPE' - 23 This was such a simple pasta, yet so delicious. It was incredibly creamy and cheesy, with hints of fresh black pepper flavor that blew standard at-home black pepper grinders out of the water. Despite it being the simplest pasta of the night, I enjoyed it immensely. RIGATONI - 32 This pasta was simple yet slightly innovative, featuring sausage paired with a broccoli-based pesto. There was a slight bitterness that was polarizing among our group. While this wasn't my favorite pasta, I appreciated the creativity. PERCIATELLI NERO - 35 This dish packed in more components than just pasta and sauce: plenty of crab, tomatoes, and crispy breadcrumbs on top. However, the combination wasn't very memorable. None of the flavors really stood out, and it was my least favorite pasta of the night. OLIVE OIL CAKE - 14 Served with a pile of golden raisins and fancy whipped cream, this ended up being a bit of a miss. The raisins were a bit too sweet, and the cake's texture was uneven -- some bites were soft and moist, while others felt dry. A couple of others in my group also felt the same way. Overall, I'd give L'Artusi a 4.5/5; it was mostly hits with a couple of misses. The pasta portions are quite small. Since each dish is primarily carbs and sauce, I'd imagine you'll likely need an appetizer or a pasta and a half to leave full. Still, I'd definitely come back for the focaccia, tagliatelle, and the cacio e pepe.
