The meal we had was one of the best I've ever had! They have a gluten-free risotto that's amazing, and my husband loved his carbonara. I wish we had this restaurant in Nashville, I'd love to come back!

Good spot for dates. The decor and the wines are nice and the pasta is very tasty!

15/10 for our first visit here. Our waiter John was so fun and helpful. Best food and best service we’ve had in Knoxville! Can’t wait to come back to try even more dishes.

Easy drinks, great food. The Gnocchi Amatriciana was heaven-sent. We had a gracious and entertaining server. However, the lighting was a smidge too dim and the music too low. The air was also a bit smoky. That said, we will return here for future meals.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Emilia at the Market Square in Knoxville, TN, and it was an exceptional experience. The service was attentive and professional, ensuring a delightful evening. I began with a Black Manhattan, which was expertly crafted and set the tone for the meal. The Steamed PEI Mussels appetizer was outstanding; the mussels were tender and flavorful, complemented by a savory broth and served with grilled rustic Paysan bread. For the main course, the Roasted Beets with pistachio butter offered a delightful combination of earthy and nutty flavors, while the Mitchell Family Farm Market steak was cooked to perfection, showcasing the quality of local, grass-fed beef. Emilia's commitment to simple, seasonal Italian cuisine is evident in every dish. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Knoxville

My partner and I had an EXCELLENT experience here!!! We were in town for business and made reservations here. We were not disappointed! Our server Zach was excellent and his recommendations were great. We started with the focaccia and artichoke fritters, then moved to the grilled romaine, then the carbonara, and finished with the bundino. Keith, our sommelier, was superb and his knowledge of all of the wines were impeccable. We are Malbec fans and they only have Italian wines so he recommended a Rosso, which hit the spot. Definitely add this to your list!

We have eaten here many times and the food is very good. Although tonight our experience with the service was the worst of any dining establishment! The restaurant was busy but definitely not overcrowded by any means. Not only did our server Becca (found name on our receipt) never introducing herself she blatantly ignored our table. She was unfriendly from her initial approach to our table and it continued through the service or non-service. Never asked us for another round of drinks, left our empty plates for over 30 minutes, didn’t offer coffee or dessert and then actually threw the bill at me. I would never bring a business client here risking this type of service.
