We were there at lunch so not sure if always order at counter as there were menus too, but either way...worth the stop. I would prefer the bread to have a little flavor or seasoning, but the bread was perfectly toasted and light. Salads typical for Italian restaurant, ranch dressing good. We had manicotti and lasagna, mozzarella sticks and all were great! Good flavor, temperature, serving size, etc. staff friendly and professional.

I really loved the bread & ricotta. Something always gets me about bread and cheese. The calamari was pretty good, I liked the addition of the olives, but overall it was a typical calamari dish. We also ordered the little gem salad to share. It was perfect because there were 4 gems for each of us. This was also decent. Nothing particularly memorable about this dish, but still good. We each ordered our own entree. Our friends ordered the vodka rigatoni and the lasagna bolognese. Hubby ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and I had the cacio e Pepe and added sausage. Pastas were cooked to the perfect al dente. There was so much meat in all our entrees. We each had a bite of each other's meals. I couldn't decide which one I liked best. They were all so very good and they all tasted different. I really love having foodie friends. And then we ended with dessert/after dinner drinks. Our friends got an affogato and an espresso martini. Hubby and I shared the pistachio cake. That pistachio cake is to die for. I don't want to over exaggerate because what if you decide to get it and you hate it? Well, I loved it. It wasn't too sweet and the salt flakes on top was perfection! It was so good with the affogato. 100% would get again.

The entrees hit on all notes. The calamari is the star with the chili sauce. So soft with Panko crust. Just amazing. Table set up felt like fine dining. Prices were very reasonable. Place was very romantic feeling.

I have gotten my birthday cake from Emilia's two years in a row now, and at this point it's…read morebasically a tradition. This year was the classic tiramisu again and somehow I still wasn't prepared for how good it is. I ended up eating nearly half the cake myself. If you know tiramisu, you'll appreciate this one. The sponge is very soaked like super rich, espresso-forward, and honestly feels like drinking a glass of coffee in dessert form. I personally love that deep, juicy texture, but if you're someone who prefers a lighter, less saturated sponge, this might be a bit much for you. That said, it's absolutely worth trying. Just maybe start with a smaller size at the restaurant before committing to a full cake. This is exactly the kind of tiramisu I crave, and it's the reason Emilia's keeps being the birthday cake spot every year.

Decent food, but nothing to rave about!…read more My family and I made a reservation for dinner at Emilia's. The ambiance is very modern and trendy! Service was excellent and it felt very fancy! For apps we had the Butternut Squash Soup and the Burrata. The Burrata was very tasty (loved the pickled berries) but the soup was lacking in basic flavor. For our main, we got the Risotto and the Mushroom Pizza. Both were good, but nothing amazing! I actually enjoyed the Broccolini with the pesto more!

What an incredible visit to one of our most favorite Italian restaurants over the past 3 decades…read more We love the decor of the restaurant and the professionalism of the wait staff. We've always had a wonderful experience when dining at Aventino's. Chris and Erica are incredible owner and really care about their customers. It's so relaxing to dine at Aventino's and I love introducing new friends to the restaurant. We attended a Christmas concert the middle of the afternoon. I had made reservations for my wife and I afterwards. At the concert, sitting in front of us, there was a super friendly 8-year-old and her grandmother. We got to know them and were chatting with them afterwards letting them know we were headed out for our dinner reservations at our favorite Italian restaurant. The grandmother mentioned they both loved Italian food also and asked if it would be OK to join us for dinner. We told her we'd be delighted. I texted her the address of the restaurant and we were off to the races. When Terry and I arrived at the restaurant we mentioned our reservations that we might have two additional guests. Fortunately, they already had a table for four reserved for us. That was perfect. Our professional server, Taja, greeted us as the hostess seated us. We mentioned to her that we possibly had two additional guests that might be joining us, but we weren't sure. We ordered our drinks and sat back, relaxed and chatted about the concert we'd seen. About 10-minutes later, Mary and her granddaughter arrived, and we received big hugs. The granddaughter was excited that she was getting to have dinner with Santa Claus. We visited a bit, and they asked me what's good on the menu. I said, with gusto, EVERYTHING! My wife loves their lasagna so that's what she ordered. I ordered the Chicken Scaloppine, one of my favorite entrees at the restaurant. We ordered a basket of garlic bread for all to share. It's delicious. Shortly, Taja arrived with our salads. I could literally drink their house dressing. It's kind of a sweet wine vinegar dressing. It's great to dip your bread in it. Our entrees were delivered to our table piping hot and were prepared to perfection. Our new friends also raved about how delicious everything was. They said they'll definitely return again real soon and bring family members. Taja thank you for the stellar service, your ROCK!

The best part: I had a specific craving that wasn't on the menu (it likes "build your own pasta" from Romano's Macaroni Grill restaurant that is Grilled Shrimp on angel hair with veggie) and they cooked it exactly how I asked. The dish came out perfect and even better with high quality shrimp and veggies. You can tell the kitchen really cares. Cozy atmosphere, homemade taste, and service that makes you want to stay all evening. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is small and cozy. Twice we could not get in without a long wait. Other times we made reservations and did not need them. Best to be safe and call. Bar seating is also available if you want to sit there. The food was very good, we tried two of the dishes. They are Chicken Sunrise, and Veal Genovese, both come with pasta and the sauce on the meals are wonderful. Since we like these two dishes so much it is hard to try anything else. Bread rolls also come with the meal. Salad is extra, I had the Caesar salad. Started with an appetizer Escargot Provencal.... oh man this is good. Dip your bread into the garlic butter yum. The plates have plenty of food you will be full or take-home leftover. Nice glass of wine is good with the meal. Service was good once they were terribly busy, so the food came out slowly. But I understand the staff were working very hard. They only had two wait staff when we were there. Great place to go for a date or special night. Or anytime casual inside.
