I’ve been a regular at Don Emilio for over 7 years (and counting). Food is always delicious you won’t find anywhere with a more uplifting and inviting atmosphere thanks to the friendly hosts. 10/10 will be going again.

I recently moved to the local area and every time I visit don Emilio, I feel like I’m on holiday. It has that friendly, local vibe with movie posters around with an Italian-American theme. The best part is the amazing food, they have quite a big menu full of different options from pizzas to pastas as well as burgers meat and fish. So glad to have this hidden gem nearby, it’s my favourite spot to dine in especially after a Sunday walk in Richmond Park and look forward to their special events too.
