Top choice in Centro Storico

LoginSave

Offering brisk but friendly service, a contemporary vibe and excellent food, Emma is an all-round winner. Sit on the front terrace or in the airy interior to enjoy excellent antipasti, thin-crust pizzas and classic Roman pasta dishes. The quality of ingredients here is top-notch – think buffalo mozzarella from Paestum, organic tomatoes from the slopes of Vesuvius and Cantabrian anchovies. Yum.
