Emilia’s Aldgate is a fresh pasta restaurant located in the City within a few minutes’ walk of Aldgate/Aldgate East tube stations. It's our second restaurant following on from our first critically acclaimed and award-winning restaurant.

At Emilia’s all our pasta is made fresh every morning in our restaurant in full view of passers-by and served from our fully open kitchen. In true respect of Italian tradition, we use certified Italian produce and try our best to ensure no additives, artificial ingredients, preservatives or anything unnatural is in our food. We believe that food is much better when it’s 100% natural.

Our restaurant has a mixture of chef’s bar/counter seating (overlooking the open kitchen), normal tables, high top bar seats and a covered outdoor terrace.

P.S. We care for our people, our communities and the world around us. Please visit our website (www.emiliaspasta.com) if you would like to learn more about our approach to Sustainability.

    The service was great and the food even better! We had burchetta and pasta with wagyu and yellow tail and the flayvors where out of this world! Next time when we visit London again, we will come back for more.

    For a place purporting to be all about pasta, to have overcooked pasta is just a crime. If that weren’t bad enough, the “carbonara” sauce was…well I don’t know what it was but it wasn’t carbonara. The pancetta in it was good (not guanciale but still good). The rocket salad was excellent tho. Service lackluster but at least efficient. Certainly not worth a trip here, imho

    Very busy and very loud. Customer service was a bit hit and miss as it was so busy. Food was great.

    The employees were in a hurry. It wasn’t nice. The food is good but not special. The hurried service stood out

    Thank you so much to the team! And special shout out to our lovely server - Soli! She was so attentive and even took the time to chat with us which made us feel so welcome. The wagyu special was definitely worth it because I usually get the same thing every single time but it was worth the risk thanks to Soli’s recommendation!! Can’t wait to be back again😊
