Love this place and wish I knew about it sooner!! The food was all so fresh and delicious. I ordered the italian tuna artichoke sandwich, the eggplant panini and some pastries. All were insanely good. The soups looked amazing as well (cinnamon lentil soup? yes please!). My only wish is that the service was a bit faster. There is only one person making the food. But the owners are so sweet you don’t mind staying a bit longer and having them talk to you about Italy. When I go again I will order ahead. It’s very small; only a few 2-tops to sit at.

This hidden gem offers flavorful Italian baguette, delicious buttery croissant, and a few desserts options. I ordered an eggplant panini to dine in and a crosissant with berries on top, and a chocolate crosissant to go. It was packed with juicy tomatoes and nutty roasted eggplant, and nutty pesto on the bread. I had to save half of my sandwich for my husband to enjoy the sandwich. It was so good!
Very friendly staff. They mentioned they will be opening a restaurant in somerville in a few weeks. I can’t wait to try their lunch and dinner options.

Truly a hidden gem. The bolognese pasta was the best I’ve ever had, and it was worth every penny. Everything was made fresh, even the chai latte was homemade and so delicious. Very kind staff and a wonderful authentic feel. Will definitely be back!

I have had a chance to visit a few times in the past months. This is the best Italian food I have had a chance to eat in Boston. It reminds me of local restaurants you would have in Milano. Menu is very short as food is fresh and cooked at the time your order.

This place has wonderful authentic Italian pastry and food. The bombolones (donuts) are fantastic and made fresh everyday. The soups are also wonderful. You can also practice your Italian with the owner/chef 😀

Sunday breakfast at The Emporio: a fragrant croissant and a gourmet sandwich in a welcoming atmosphere, offering a start to the day filled with authentic Italian flavor. I highly recommend it—compliments to Chef Simona and her entire staff! The attention to detail, the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, and the warm, familial ambiance turn every bite into a true delight for the senses.

Stopped in for a brunch bite, and it was great! We ordered focaccia sandwiches and the pastry of the day (apple cinnamon). The folks working were super friendly and glad to chat. Everything was very fresh and delicious! A nice little spot to sit, but decided to bring it to the park. We’ll be back to try more. Or even just grab some fresh bread.

Great Italian food and pastries, very authentic and tasteful. The staff are nice and do their best to accommodate your requests. We tried their pistachio cream filled Bombolone and it was wonderful, they also have breakfast savory dishes and small lunch menu that has very tasty items. The menu is small but everything is great.
