Cafe Emilia

First time at Café Emilia and it was a great spontaneous stop on my way back to NJ. The place is cozy, nicely decorated, and the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, like a local favorite. The menu is small but well thought out. The food was good, though a bit pricey for the portion size, and the Caesar salad lettuce wasn’t very fresh. Overall, lovely café with great service and definitely worth checking out.

This is the place that you probably drive by 100 maybe 1000 times but never go in. But you must. The atmosphere. Service and the food and drinks are all incredible. I’ve been here twice. And my favorite waiter is Facundo who is the epitome of class attentiveness, and service. I got the chicken Parmigiana the first time. And it was awesome. I got the eggplant parmigiana the next time and it was the best I’ve ever had. It was perfect all around. Stop in you won’t regret it.

I'm disappointed in myself for driving past this restaurant several times and not realizing what I was missing. You enter a modest, warm and inviting space and you are greeted by their professional and friendly staff. They have a specialty cocktail menu with amazing choices that you just don't see in your local spots. And they do the classics perfectly, the Espresso Martini was silky, creamy and full of flavor. The service and the pacing of the evening was perfect. The food was incredible. I ordered the Veal Chop special, my wife ordered the Chicken Giordano, our friends ordered the Steak Special and the Chicken Special with Crab Meat. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted even better than it looked. Desserts were also amazing. The Tiramisu was perfectly moist and not soggy.

I had a date night with my girlfriend at cafe Emilia. Food is average, but towards the end the staff wasn’t very pleasant. They seem like they over book their restaurant to try and maximize their profit. I had a reservation for 7:00pm. We didnt get seated until around 7:15 which is fine. We were put in a corner table where people walking back and forth kept bumping into us. At the end I ordered a cappuccino and they gave me the bill and I tipped 20%. I wouldn’t have tipped 20% if I knew that 45 minutes into my dinner I wouldn’t be told by the water “can you finish your cappuccino at the bar I need this table”. This is extremely unprofessional and we were the table in their for the shortest amount of time. There was a couple sitting behind us who was there before we even got there

This was a wonderful Christmas Eve experience. The food was delicious and our service was stellar. I will definitely be going back.
