About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Chef/Owner Matt Gallaher describes Emilia as a 'handmade' Italian Restaurant. We are located on Market Square in Downtown Knoxville just steps away from the Market Square Farmers Market. This proximity to local ingredients allow us to cook with the Italian 'Local First' approach and Housemade Pastas, Italian Breads from our Bakery and Hand Pulled Mozzarella feature prominently on the menu.

*The fine print: Fri. and Sat. capacity is limited to parties of 8 and under. Please call the restaurant (865 313 2472) to book large parties. Parties larger than 8 may require a credit card to secure and we reserve the right to charge a $25/per guest 'no show' fee for seats that aren't canceled prior to 5pm on the date of the reservation.

A 20% gratuity may be applied to parties greater than 5 guests. We offer an extensive, 100% Italian wine list, but we do allow outside bottles of wine for a $25 corkage fee, provided it's not a wine on our current list.

We put this in the reservation. Upon arrival, they could not find our reservation and insisted I show them my phone with the confirmation (which I had). They were empty and acted put off that I brought my daughter (who is well behaved). We had requested patio seating and we were told the patio was closed so we were say back by the bathrooms. The food was good. They didn't even speak to my daughter and did not bring her silverware or water. If they don't want kids, they need to say so. Of course as we left, the patio was wide open, so that was not even true. I do not recommend taking kids and I wish the restaurant would have told me that kids were frowned upon. So rude.

I left most of it behind. The other dishes were not much better, but the scallop’s were perfectly cooked and delicious. We had to request our check because our waitress wasn’t coming. The cashier had the waitress bring it to us. The four of us agreed… we didn’t much like our meals, nor the service, and we would not eat there again.
