The atmosphere was amazing — a great location with a modern, chic, and beautifully presented space. The menu offers a good variety, and the quality of the food is very good. The service was excellent, striking the perfect balance between friendly and professional. My only negative comment — and this is partly a matter of personal taste — concerns the pizza Margherita. Traditionally it does not include garlic, but this version had a lot of it. If the restaurant chooses to add garlic to the sauce, this should be clearly stated on the menu. The pizza was also slightly burnt. It was still enjoyable, but not quite at the high standard the rest of the restaurant sets. On a very positive note, the budino al pistacchio is absolutely to die for — truly delicious and highly recommended. Parking might be an issue.
My experience at Emilia’s Fort Worth was extremely disappointing due to both sanitation concerns and poor customer service. During our visit, multiple flies were present around our table and actively landing in our food and drinks, which is unacceptable for any dining establishment. When this was brought to our server’s attention, there was a complete lack of concern or accountability. Instead of offering to replace the affected food or beverages, the response was dismissive, and we were told to pay our bill and relocate to the lobby for drinks. No meaningful effort was made to resolve the issue or ensure guest safety and satisfaction. Additionally, an item was removed from the bill without explanation, followed by an inappropriate comment implying that the concern was related to a military discount. To be clear, this was never about money—it was about hygiene standards, professionalism, and basic customer care. The presence of fruit flies suggests a potential cleaning or sanitation issue, which is deeply concerning. Due to this experience, I will not be returning and will be sharing my experience with others. I also intend to report the matter to the appropriate health authorities so it can be properly addressed. This level of service and cleanliness is unacceptable.
Wow, just wow. Incredible experience from start to finish. If you try anything let it be the Burrata and Butternut pumpkin squash soup!! Our service was too notch, Xavier was our waiter and man did he deliver the service! Very attentive and informative on suggestions. Another waitress with blonde hair took the time to assist us and even take photos of our anniversary! HIGHLY recommend, we will be back!
Had an amazing dinner at Emilia’s in the Crescent Hotel (Fort Worth) and tried several things off their summer menu!! Everything was so well thought out and delicious. After chatting with the staff, you can really tell how intentional and passionate they are about the dishes and the ingredients that go into them. Our server, Kevin, was kind and knowledgeable. We even got the chance to chat with Chef Preston, which made the experience even more special. He shared that the meatballs are made with a special blend of six different proteins (wowww!!) and finished with this creamy house-made parmesan cheese foam. The grilled bread that comes with it is perfect for layering with the meatballs, sauce, and cheese for a complete bite! Arancini has always been a favorite of mine, so we naturally had to order it. I really enjoyed the hint of creamy eggplant inside that perfectly compliments the cheesy risotto ball. The broccolini was simple but so flavorful, and the pistachio pesto paired with was a standout— I need a jar of it asap!! The potato gnocchi was rich, with a bold romesco sauce balanced by creaminess. The whole bronzino was light, flaky, and not fishy at all. The skin was perfectly crispy and paired well with the mild, buttery fish inside. I’m not even usually into cooked fish, but I’d 100% order this again. The creamy leeks underneath made a really nice savory sauce to scoop up with the fish and veggies (plus shishitos yummm!!) The braised beef rib was super tender, and the buckwheat polenta cake was a unique and nice pairing for the dish. It reminded me of a savory cornbread with a crispy exterior and soft center. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and white chocolate cheesecake. Both were great, but I had to try the tiramisu since it’s one of my all-time favorites! Made the traditional way, with thick layers of mascarpone cream, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and a lush layer of cocoa powder on top — it was a fantastic closer to the evening. Wine-wise, I absolutely loved the Auntsfield Sauvignon Blanc — juicy, crisp, and without being too sweet. A great summer wine, I loved it so much I even asked our server, Kevin if I could take a pic of the bottle haha! Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and full of heart. Highly recommend Emilia’s for a special night out or if you’re looking for a meal that’s both elevated and approachable in an elegant yet cozy setting!
Emilia’s in downtown Fort Worth is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in the city. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and upscale without being pretentious. The attention to detail in both the decor and the service is outstanding. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their craft.
