Quick service with delicious pasta. I would recommend pancetta carbonara and béchamel bolognese 💫

The new Emilia's near Aldgate has been terrific. We've been twice already. Service is quick. Tables not too close together. Good acoustics.
The first time we started with a shared bresaola with rocket and parmesan salad. Best to order this to share as it is quite a big portion. Good cold cut, lovely salad with lemony vinaigrette with shavings of good parmesan. The twiggy stems of the rocket had been removed, so nice attention to detail.
For pasta I had the caseretti with walnut sauce and mushrooms. Really good but not as good as my companion's lamb ravioli tossed with butter and sage. Amazing. A side of beans tossed in pesto was nice but not as special as the ravioli.
Great simple dessert of nut biscuits (amaretti and cantuccini) dipped in shots of amaretto. Basic but quite spectacular. i have since started serving this at home at dinner parties.
On our second visit started with the bresaola and salad again. I had the ravioli that blew me away the first time and my companion was happy with smoked salmon carbonara. We plan to eat our way through the entire menu, but suspect the ravioli is the best pasta they do.
We had a great dining experience here! Although we didn't have a reservation, the staff was accommodating and friendly. However, I would recommend making a reservation beforehand to secure your spot. While the pasta we ordered was a bit salty for our liking, the overall quality of the food was good. It's worth noting that there are only two girls in the kitchen - one cooks while the other prepares salads and other non-cooking tasks, so the service can be a bit slow. Nonetheless, the atmosphere is lovely and the staff is welcoming. Make sure to book your table in advance before heading over!
