I recently found out about Emporio from the LXTV Segments in the Taxi Cab and when my friends and I were looking for a place to eat on the weekend we thought we give it a try. I immediately felt a good vibe walking into the place. I love there rustic decor and one of the waiters told us that is was modeled after an old Roman Grocery Store. We decided to sit in there back room which had a huge sky light and since it was still early and daylight it felt like we were sitting in a garden. Our waiter told us that the best way to eat at Emporio was sharing a bunch of things, sort of family style and we decided to take him up on his suggestion. As a starter we had the bruschetta which had rhubarb and ricotta with a truffle honey. Heavenly sweet’ isch taste with all the flavors melting together perfectly. Second we ordered a bunch of appetizers including Squash Blossoms, artichokes, grilled calamari and a water melon salad. Everything was delicious, all of us had different favorites, mine were the artichokes. Pizza was next. I don’t remember the name of it but it had pecorino cheese with sausages and bacon i think. It was very thin crust and it was soooo tasty. Since all the food was so amazing and filling we thought about canceling our next course which were the lamb chops and steak. Our waiter told us however that it was already on the fire so we decided to go ahead and have it. I am so happy we did because the steak so tender and so was the lamb chop. We could not finish our meats and plus we wanted to save room for dessert. Dessert was a home made lemon tart, amazing amazing amazing, so was the chocolate tart we ordered. I am so happy that we went and will for sure be back.
