Emilio's Trattoria: Reviews & Ratings
Good food and service. Old school neighborhood place. Makes me feel like I'm in New York. Their chopped salad is also amazing!
Cozy restaurant. We've been coming here for lunch for a while now and the service is getting better. Oscar waited on us this time and he was on top of it. We start with a nice bottle of Ruffino. Then he had the chicken Milanese which he enjoyed and I had the chicken piccata, which was delicious! Lovely portions and cozy ambience. All that's missing is a little nice background music.
An Encino staple, consistent always a family fav, has retained the original menu and feel for decades.
This is an old school Italian restaurant with all the charm that goes with it. It has the framed photos of celebrities who had once dined at this long-standing Italian restaurant on the walls. The booths and tables have white table cloth coverings. The wait staff is elegantly-dressed and offers great recommendations if you ask them. The portion sizes are neither too large or too small. I had the Eggplant Parmigiana, and it was absolutely delicious!
