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.

Loved everything about our time in Emilia, the food was exceptional as were the two front of house staff who managed the restaurant so competently throughout service. Highlights in no particular order: vermouth, ragu, pumpkin. Thank you so much

Great food but the price of wine was exhorbitant - the least expensive being £42 for an Umbrian Syrah. I understand the need to mark up wine but 500%? You could at least offer a decent house red at a more reasonable price.
