Emilia's - BRONX

On Wednesday for lunch. the eating was the old school Italian with some twists. everything was delish!

Sicilian meatballs, rigatoni bolognese, sole livornase only delicious and the brot warm and squirty. the best!

Don't run! you have to go to emilias. if they want to have one of the best Italian meals they have ever eaten, then emilia is the place my wife and I woke up this morning and decided to go. we also let my mother come (they grew up a block of arthur ave.) we heard so much about the zucchini bags, and they delivered! too perfected with the correct amount of prosciutto and mozzarella. this is a mouthwater remover that you cannot miss. please do not give up nonnas Sicilian meatballs, they rival everyone grandmother meatballs with a characteristic hauch of pig and johannisbeer, simply amazing. after we have slept on an espresso martini, dove in her subtitles gnocchi con burrata court. omg! this plate rocks. the gnocchi is homemade and is so light and airy and melt practically in the mouth. coupled to the burrata, the aromen of this plate are impeccable. we have intercepted dinner with nowzio's homemade cheesecake and affogato. the cheesecake was absolutely incredible, and the affogato was a perfect mix of ice and espresso. we had the luck to have a table back and sat next to the greener of the restaurant and his wife of 58 years (nunzio and francesca.) a wonderful couple that over neapel vs scherzte. sizilien. she's out of neapel and he's out of sicily. as it turns out, this is the inheritance of my wife sicily and mine is neapel! we had a wonderful conversation with them and felt like family when we were gone. five stars ..

Amazing food. Great prices for the huge portions. Plus, we mentioned that we were there for a birthday and even though we said we were too full for dessert, our sweet waiter brought out a slice of cake with a candle!! Will definitely be back!

Sadly the food was generally bland. Pork osso bucco with Chianti sauce was bland; sauce was white contradicting any hint of Chianti. Cold antipasta was store bought Chicken Parm. Breading was burnt. Pasta side dishes were miniscule. Menu seems to pander to the stereotypical dishes. Carafe of House Montepulciano had no flavor at all. None. None. Something has gone wrong I hope the owners go back to the good days.
