The venue itself is art deco style, kept immaculately clean (including the restrooms). I had the Grilled Chicken sandwich with avocado and aioli sauce, with Tuscan fries (house cut I'm told) both of which were very good. The wife had the Honey Chicken Ginger Salad and we both agreed that it was excellent. Our server, Jenny, deftly handled the full bar, the bar dining area, and the drink orders for the entire restaurant. There was a dessert special of Italian Lemon Cake offerred, but unfortunately, I couldn't convince my wife to split it. The prices were very reasonable, and the food was very good. We'll definitely come back.

We visited on the Friday before V-day, the house was packed around 18:30. The wait was 45 mins which wasn't too bad for a Friday night. We decided to wait in the lobby after trying to find a cozy waiting spot near the bar and missing. My wife attempted to order me a mocktail, but of course the bar was crazy busy. When the bartender finally acknowledged her, the mocktail requests obviously threw the bartender for a loop because I ended up with watered down ginger beer and a sprig of mint. My advice for anyone looking for a virgin drink at this bar would be to order a club soda with lime and call it a night. We were seated at the 45 min mark, and were escorted to the packed bar, where they have some exterior tables for diners. My seat was in the middle of the couch split, which I found mighty uncomfortable so we opted to request a seat in the main dining room, which the staff happily obliged. With dinner we ordered hot tea and were given lukewarm water and a choice of Stash teas. Our beverage experience here was very disappointing. The calamari arrived and may have been the only highlight, although we didn't find it to have that fresh calamari texture. My wife ordered a ravioli with mushroom, and felt the pasta and veggies were just swimming in butter. I ordered my steak medium and it was okay, but the juices from the greens made the croquettes soggy, and unenjoyable. The server did his best, and all the staff here are so kind. Coulda been an off night but I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. The Mocktail Madam.

The host said give him a minute to check if he could fit us, did a lap around the dinning room and came back with a nod. Every table was taken, except 1! That was a good sign. Several birthdays and other special occasions were being celebrated. We weren't given a drink or wine menu but were asked what we wanted to drink to start. I asked for a Pinot Grigio and was offered by the glass or a carafe. The service was good, the pace of the meal was perfect and the atmosphere was really nice. The portions were plentiful and the preparation of the entrees were proper. The flavoring and seasoning was spot on. The pasta with my veal Marsala was a tad overcooked but still good. I prefer a bit more el dente. I would return and can recommend.

The calamari was great but the espresso was not. It is the only reason I took off a star because everything else was good. The salads that come with the meal are huge and delicious and the dressing is perfect. I ordered the pasta with marinara sauce and eggplant rollatini. I loved it all even though I couldn't finish it so I took it home. Hubby ordered the angel hair with vodka sauce and shrimp with crab dish. He wished he had ordered the pasta with penne instead of angel hair which our waitress initially suggested. Always listen to your waitress He said the shrimp with crab was good. Honestly, I'm not sure he loved it. Our waitress, Holly, was amazing. She explained everything well including that everything is made from scratch. I love that!!!! The restaurant was nice, although a bit dated which is ok by me. It made me feel like I'm at an old family place. We are definitely returning!!!

Coming in, nobody was to be found, and after waiting for about a minute, the hostess, who in fact was our waitress spotted us, and said we could sit anywhere. The menu has a lot to offer, with pizza being the main offering, not to be surprising, hence in the business name. I was very impressed to see the variety. Most of the items that stick out are burgers (which taste very good), pasta, sandwiches, soup, chicken, you name it. Some of the prices I found seemed to be a bit pricey, considering it's not quite a fancy restaurant. I sure can't wait to make many visits to try each and every one of their items. Our waitress, Casey (who never introduced her name, but found it on the receipt), was okay for the most part, very friendly, but didn't check in with us at all. With the garage doors open, there were a couple of bees flying around, and ended up switching tables, Casey apologized for that. Having peanut allergies, I asked her if the french fries were dipped in peanut oil, checked, and came back and told me they weren't sure, coming to my surprise. I subbed salad instead for my safety. In the evening, I called this location and asked a gentleman about peanut oil, the same answer as before. Afterward, I called the other location in Middletown, and sure enough, they said they DON'T use peanut oil. Talk about craziness, I have mixed feelings about this location, them not knowing one piece of information when it comes to food allergies. Outstanding food no doubt - but customer service needs big improvement at this location.

Some pizza places are good. Some become part of your life…read more We lived around the corner from Emiliano's from 1999 to 2005, and it was our go-to spot for lunch, dinner, and delivery. Back then, we knew it was special. What we didn't realize was just how much we'd miss it after moving away to Western New York. For this visit, we drove more than an hour out of our way specifically to eat here. That's how much this place means to us. We ordered two mushroom slices, a white slice, and a cheese slice, and every bite reminded us why we've been talking about this pizza for more than twenty years. The slices are huge, loaded with fresh ingredients, and somehow manage to hold their shape perfectly. No floppy crust. No toppings sliding off. Just classic New York pizza done exactly right. In fact, Emiliano's is our gold standard pizza pie. Every other pizza we eat gets measured against it. The mushroom slices were generously topped and packed with flavor. The cheese slice was everything a New York slice should be: simple, balanced, and delicious. The white slice was outstanding as well. While we waited, the owner even brought us a complimentary piece of fried dough, which was a thoughtful and very appreciated gesture. What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere. Service was prompt and genuinely friendly. It seemed like everyone who walked through the door knew somebody. There's a strong sense of community here that feels increasingly rare these days. More than twenty years after we first became customers, Emiliano's is still everything we remembered it to be. Affordable, welcoming, and serving what we consider the best pizza around. We'll keep making the trip back. Without question. This is New York-style pizza at its finest.

Fortunately, a friend in the area recommended Emiliano's Pizza. I'm glad I took her advice.

The service was as good as the food, and the ambiance reminded me of an old local Italian restaurant I used to visit before they closed their doors. I just wish they had longer hours on Sunday!
