Emilio's Italian Cuisine - Doncaster

I frequently eat here with my girlfriend. It is our faviourite place and we love going! The food is incredible and the service is always perfect. Also the price is very very good and the portions are very big. I would definitely recommend this place Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had the experience of Emilio’s this evening. Proceed with caution! I have never felt the need to leave a bad review before, Emilio’s has tipped me over the edge! To start We had the Pavarotti Prawns and the Melanzane parmigiana both failed to hit a high note, in fact failed to hit any note! The prawns were lukewarm with a hot fishy tomato based sauce ladled over the top. They were unpleasant. Turning to the Melanzane parmigiana, the aubergine was bitter, mushy and oily. Clearly reheated from frozen. Mains We had the duck special and a pizza Roma. The duck was nicely roasted but unfortunately covered in a thick grey salty slime, allegedly a peppercorn sauce. Frankly, unlike anything I have ever tasted and hopefully will never again! To accompany this grey slime we had some flaccid asparagus. The pizza base was thick, uncooked in the middle and covered in a sweet tomato base. It was sent back and reheated. When we enquired about the thickness of the pizza we were told that they could only cook a thick base. As unpleasant as the food was, it took a distant second place to the manager, who was confrontational, overzealous and thoroughly objectionable. Having read such good reviews we were bitterly disappointed with our experience and would not return or recommend anyone else to.
