Tasty authentic pasta dishes. Delightful service, reasonable prices and to top it off a delicious tiramisu. Portion size could be a little large or is that just me being glutenous 🤭

Visited here for a work team dinner, and we had a good time. I had the burrata with heritage tomatoes, followed by the Carbonara, and then the pistachio cheesecake for dessert. All the food was very tasty, but the main reason for knocking it down a star is the portion size. I get that you'll generally always overpay for eating pasta at a restaurant, but I would've felt hungry after the mains if not for the fact we were given a couple of complimentary dishes due to an order mix-up. Service overall a little haphazard but at least the extra food was a sweetener. We were given an extra salad and a Truffled Cacio e Pepe, the latter of which was good. But again, it feels like you'd need to have two mains to be full. The Rose wine was very good.

Came on Monday early dinner time, didn’t need a reservation since there was plenty of spots but had one anyways nevertheless. Greeted promptly and friendly. Menu is very similar to what you’d see in Italy and kept true in taste and preparation as well. Pasta was al dente, tasty, and good portions. The carbonara was our favorite, probably some of the best we’ve had in London so far. He enjoyed the basil pesto a lot, and I liked it as well I just prefer a tomato based sauce so I would choose that one next. I love the radiatori pasta shape. The basil pesto was better than some other famous places we’ve been to! Would definitely recommend and return here! Staff was attentive and nice as well, very clean space, and a relaxed vibe.

Emilia’s pasta is always good. The ice cream was amazing too. We had to wait a bit for our table even though we had pre-booked but the food was worth the wait.

I went here on a Tuesday evening. I had wanted to try this place out on the numerous times I have walked past this place. On this evening I just dropped by and they told me that I could get a ta le in about 30 minutes. I got back in 30 minutes and they had a table ready for me. I ordered a glass of house wine and the slow cooked béchamel bolognese. The wine was quite nice. The pasta was very good and the sauce was very tasty however I needed to request for the grated parmesan separately. From an Italian restaurant I would have expected that to be offered by default. Overall highly recommend going here for some very nice pasta. The staff is a bit off hands though.

Delicious walnut & mushrooms pasta with a fancy pasta straw. Very friendly staff and my good came out very quickly. Went about 12.45 for lunch and it was nice and quiet. It starts to get busy but that's understandable

I went for Iftar as I saw very savoury pictures of the king prawn pasta. This dish was truly delectable. It is made with sustainably sourced cold water king prawns cooked in a tomato sauce with some finely sliced courgettes with a touch of spice. The restaurant is very authentic, in a hip part of town. The portion is perfect and the prices are very reasonable.

Really delicious pasta, finished off with even better tiramisu! Pretty reasonable price too. We accidentally booked the wrong restaurant (was meant to go to St Katherine docks), but the staff were very friendly and got us a table for 2 after a few minutes

Preferred the bolognese over the cacio e pepe, though my friend enjoyed the latter more. Interesting tiramisu - softer texture with more biscuits bits. Recommend getting the burrata with tomato in sourdough as starter. Kudos to staff for friendly service

Friendly, tasty and atmospheric, it was a lovely place to go for a meal on a recent trip to London. The menu is simplistic, but the quality of the food is brilliant! It’s lovely to be able to watch your food being made, and to smell the fresh cheese and pasta. Also, Italian soft drinks served with a pasta straw definitely add to the experience! The deserts are great too! All round a great time, and worth a visit

Cute place, decent menu. I wasn't a fan of the meals but that's probably on me and not so much the food itself. I had the Pancetta carbonara which I found incredibly salty. The pasta is served al dente which I only realized after I ordered. Unfortunately I didn't care for it as I found it too chewy. The tiramisu was more like a pudding which was a bummer. The cured beef appetizer wasn't bad.

I dined tonight at Emilia's Crafted Pasta with my girlfriend, and I can only say that I felt right at home. Everything is in place to make it a truly authentic Italian restaurant. The perfection handmade of the pasta, which is the highlight of the place. Don't complain about the price, because think about it - with that money, you'd buy a lot of pasta at the supermarket, but this is homemade! And it's absolutely worth it. Not to mention the sauces, which are absolutely top-notch! Their aroma simply transports you to Italy. The service is excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone if you want to experience genuine Italian cuisine, unlike those chains that serve commercial stuff. Congratulations!!!! I'll be back as soon as possible.

Perfect pasta place to go on a date night or with friends. I tried the homemade basil pesto with grated parmesan with (casarecce) and the homemade tomato sauce with freshly chopped basil with (pappardelle). Both were very flavorful. My friends ordered the truffled cacio e pepe and the pancetta carbonara with pecorino both very good.

Delicious food and the restaurant is very pretty too! The burrata and tomatoes is really good and the panna cotta is a very great way to end the meal - fresh and light

Authentic tasting Italian food. Good size menu offering sharing plates as well as individual pasta dishes. The pasta was cooked to perfection - just like you'd get in Italy! I would advise booking in advanced as its quite a small restaurant.

Absolutely love Emilia’s pasta; it’s my favourite pasta spot in London. Always delicious, good portions, fresh pasta, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend ordering the bolognese (pappardelle) and the lamb ravioli. Both are absolutely incredible! The burrata starter is a favourite of mine aswell and all the desserts are lovely! Usually not a fan of panna cotta but really enjoy the one here as you can really taste the vanilla and see the vanilla pod seeds throughout the custard. This location is conveniently near the station but it not the prettiest out of the Emilia’s branches. The nicest one is Wood Wharf.
