My two friends and I had a wonderful dinner! The chicken Parmesan was amazing. Our server Kat was kind, funny and very welcoming! Emily the manager checked in on us and that made the experience even more welcoming! Will definitely go back! Great food and AMAZING service!!

Delicious Italian eatery in a smart, modern space. I loved the grilled focacia and marinated olives, next time I will have to try the whipped goat cheese. That also tempted me. We tried the gnocchi with wild mushrooms, absolutely delicious - seared with butter and topped with a little breadcrumbs. *Chef's kiss. We also tried the buccatini with crab, in a tomato sauce with capers....a good hint of spice but not too much, also delicious! We wrapped up with the butterscotch and chocolate mouse, it was really light with the butterscotch crunch on top! Apparently after the apps I forgot to take more pictures but would highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the food, service was good, and cool big open bar/dining/kitchen space. The meatballs were a great starter. Sauce was relatively simple but complimentary to the very Italian flavored meatballs. Good balance of Italian style seasoning, garlic, and parm subtlety. Nicely seared so a delicious crust. The gnocchi was the star of the main course. Good texture and good combination flavor profile, BUT you could identify each of the key elements with the mushroom base permeating everything with the gorgonzola accenting it. A little bit of spicy kick that wrapped it all together. Delicious. The capelletti was also very tasty. More subtle. A nice richness given by duck confit and tomato paste base. Pasta was perfectly cooked. The only comment I would make is the filling did not stand out, but that may have been the intent. Very good option if you want a well balanced permeated flavor profile. The apple crisp was very good. Crisp, nicely baked and flavorful, but the almond torta was the dessert star. The texture of the torta was perfect and the almond was clear and present. The rhubarb compote was a perfect match. Just the right sweetness vs sharpness. Simple but delicious. Drinks were great. Emelia gimlet was boozey but sharp and sweet balance, lots of other options like spritzers and others to chose from, AS WELL AS NON-ALCHOLIC options, so you can enjoy a nice cocktail while maintaining sobriety! Staff was good, knew the menu make good suggestions. Attentive but not interruptive. Well done In the Hotel Emery ground floor, just for reference. Would absolutely go back to explore the other parts of menu!!

How is there not a line out the door? Incredible atmosphere and vibe with some of the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. The pasta is all homemade and the dishes are all so creative and delicious. Worth a visit and inclusion in your regular rotation if you live in the Minneapolis area.

After a 10 hour adventure on the trails, we tucked into Guilia for birthday dinner. The food was excellent, our waitress was sweet and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you! It was so good - we stopped in for breakfast only to get socks knocked off with Mafia bacon
