About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Created Tom Hill and Clare Lattin of Ducksoup in Soho and Little Duck in Hackney, Emilia is their version of a small Italian Osteria (transported to the Devonshire countryside) serving seasonal, everyday Italian inspired dishes using locally grown ingredients. Tom oversees the menu and together they cook and share a love for Italian food and natural wine. The dining room is hosted by Lucy Mastroddi and Paul Seckler along with Alice Phillips.

    This is an excellent rest with a great variety of tasty foods. Small plates so you will need to order a few! Great choice of wine too!

    Really pleased to found this jewel. The food was like eating in a real Italian farmhouse, the ambiance so relaxed and informal. The food as explained was Cicchetti plates, not large but not starter portions so you had a little of more options. The food itself was so tasty and came as and when it was ready so again, relaxed and comfortable. Not the cheapest prices but for the food quality, fresh produce and the place itself it was really worth it.

    Food was great modern Italian with a Devon Twist of great ingredients. I have been visiting this restaurant for two years and food and service has never slipped. One of my favourite restaurants in the UK a must visit. The wine list is so well put together with something for everybody. It’s great it has become so popular so book early.
