Atmosphere of Emilio’s Wood Fire Pizza
As I walked into Emilio’s, I couldn’t help but notice how tiny it appeared. However, the seating in the back proved me wrong, it’s not as small as it looks from the outside. The warm lighting and inviting decor immediately made me feel welcomed. The staff, and owner Rafael, greeted me with a friendly smile, and their welcoming attitude added to the inviting atmosphere.
Overall, the restaurant felt like a comfortable and intimate place to enjoy a meal. Despite all the customers he gets Rafael makes you feel as if you’re the only one in there, which is a great feeling.
Menu And Food
As you could see below, Emilios has a very good/unique menu. When it comes to the appetizers, so for I’ve been able to try the olive assortment and bruschetta which were very good.
Pizza Review
I was also lucky enough to try a couple different of their pizza choices. Below is the review of each one I tried so far.
The Olivia
The Olivia has the perfect mixture of caramelized Onions, bacon, and marscapone cheese are a match made in heaven. The sweetness of the onions go perfectly with the salty flavor of the bacon and the mascarpone cheese has the creaminess that brings it altogether.
The crust on every slice has is very airy which allows you to enjoy the toppings a little bit more.
Our Rating For The Olivia: 9.5/10
Bianco E Verde
The Bianco E Verde has Ricotta cheese and housemade pesto which is a great combination. The creamy and mild taste of the cheese creates a great balance working alongside the pesto. This combination works well together on other dishes, especially pasta, and Emilio’s does a great job of putting it on top of a pizza.
Rating For The Bianco E Verde: 8.5/10
