Emiliano's in Waterford

Great food and service. Also open late. Packed when we went so a good sign.

Wow… I was not expecting what I just experienced. I have never had a better seafood pasta. The wine is excellent. The service is fun and sincere—not at all pushy. The antipasti was diverse and very high quality meats. I would come back here every night. Thank you to the team here!

I recently dined at Emiliano Restaurant and it was an incredible experience! The setting is warm and welcoming, and the service was impeccable. The dishes were tasty and beautifully presented, especially the carpaccio which was a real treat. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine. I would definitely go back!

Fantastic food service atmosphere 10/10

Emiliano’s Italian restaurant has been one of the best restaurants in Waterford for many years now. It continues to provide consistently delicious fare, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. It is by far, my family’s favourite restaurant. Over many years, a couple of decades now at this stage, we have celebrated key events and moments in our family’s history. Give it a try, if you’ve not been before - you won’t regret it. We’ve eaten in Italian restaurants in Italy and other than a few accommodations for the Irish palate, Emiliano’s is as authentic as it can get. From the wide and varied menu, the Italian-speaking staff, and the beautiful decor of the restaurant, it comes together to provide the patron with an authentic experience in an authentic atmosphere. Food-wise, we thoroughly recommend the Gamberi alla Diavola (prawns in white wine and seafood sauce, with chorizo sausage pieces) for starter accompanied by their gorgeous fresh crusty bread baked in-house. The Garlic Mushrooms are very good, too. For mains, you can’t go wrong with their Lasagne, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Black Sole, or Fillet of Beef. They offer various Chicken dishes also. Other fish dishes includes their Spaghetti Frutti di Mare (spaghetti with various fish in a tomato sauce) or their Zuppa di Pesce (Fish pieces in broth). The flavours and presentation of each of the dishes are exquisite. Everything is piping hot and tastes immense. We thoroughly enjoy our meals and are already looking forward to our next meal at Emiliano’s. Recently, we had the good fortune of visiting here twice in a week! We would wholeheartedly recommend Emiliano’s Restaurant. If you are looking for consistently good food, attentive service and a really authentic Italian experience then Emiliano’s is the place. It is always packed and walk-ins are often disappointed when turned away. Best to book in advance to avoid disappointment as they fill up quickly. Emiliano’s offers takeaway options, too. Takeaway pizza is utterly delicious! Thin base, gorgeous cheese and tomato sauce. Favourite is the Diavola pizza with pepperoni and chilli oil. Nice kick from the spices and a really filling pizza. Consistently good and fabulous service. We return again and again because it is consistently the best Italian restaurant in Waterford, such is the atmosphere, the delicious food, and the welcome you receive from the staff.

The best authentuc Italian cuisine we experienced in Ireland. And the service is excellent. I highly reccomend stopping by for lunch or dinner

Had th best steak of my life here. Unbelievable food and great value.. staff are lovely and super helpful. They made me a fab mocktail too

This was our first visit to Emiliano's. My husband and I had dinner with my parents. My parents and extended family often visit this restaurant and now I know why. The staff were super nice and attentive. You only had to look in their direction and they were straight over to help. The food was delicious. Both mum and I have dietary requirements and Emiliano himself always makes sure mum was looked after in the past. Thank god my uncle Pat Hunt orignally found Emiliano and his restaurant. I highly recommend a visit but you need to book and book in advance.
