Reviews
The dim lighting and ambiance make it perfect for a girls night or a date night. The service was great, and I highly recommend making a reservation since it does get really busy. We were seated at the bar, which we didn’t mind at all.
The waitress was kind but disappeared for a pretty long time after the entrees came. The rigatoni she recommended tasted great but was pretty oily. The draft red wine was decent.
All that was great, but the pizzas were the star here. We kept it basic to get a feel for the place and we loved it. We’ll be back soon to try some of the rest of the menu as the other orders coming out looked phenomenal. If you’re anywhere in the area, I’d recommend giving Emporio a try – you’ll be happy you did!
❌I would give this place 0 stars if I could.
I came here during happy hour, when the menu clearly states that all pizzas are 50% off. I ordered a pizza. Nothing unusual. But when the bill came, the server told me that because I didn’t specifically say I wanted the “happy hour pizza,” I was not eligible for the discount.
This makes absolutely no sense. As a first-time customer, how am I expected to know there’s a secret phrase required to access a discount that is plainly printed on the menu? I’ve lived in New York for years and have been to countless restaurants, but I have never encountered anything this absurd or misleading.
To make matters worse, I was never given the happy hour menu at any point, even though I arrived around 4:30 pm and happy hour runs from 4–6. The information was withheld, and then the responsibility was entirely placed on me. Ultimately, I was charged full price for the pizza despite the promotion being advertised.
In addition, the payment process was extremely misleading. When the POS device was handed to me, it displayed a total of $33.18 with no tip options and no breakdown of what I was being charged for. I reasonably assumed this amount was the price of the pizza plus tax. Only when I got home and reviewed the receipt did I realize that the restaurant had added an automatic tip of $5.98 (23.92%) without my consent.
At no point did the server inform me that a tip was being added, nor was I given any opportunity to choose or decline it. The server presented the amount as if it were simply the cost of the food with tax. I have never encountered a restaurant that adds an undisclosed tip directly to a bill, especially when I was dining alone and did not authorize it. This is absolutely deceptive, and violates basic consumer transparency.
Save your money and your time. There are plenty of honest restaurants in New York. This is not one of them.
