Emma & Lorenzo Trattoria

Where can I start? I have been recommending this restaurant to everyone I know with huge traffic، the moment I left.. the food was authentic Italian food، the pasta you can tell it is made in house the moment you order… the ingredients were so fresh and most imported from Italy… you’re getting exactly what you’re looking for… The hospitality? Is what took me and everyone I have spoke to about this restaurant، way over the top! The daughter، of one of the owner and chef، greeted every single table and had full conversations with each person. She made you feel like you were home!! Not the Miami experience of the manager or owner going tor he table to ask “how is everything”… no، she had full conversations with each table. That hospitality، you can’t beat! I already have been telling everyone، literally everyone، about this place and I pray it brings them much traffic and amazing attention to this location.. as their first location is in Montreal. I have not written out، myself، a good review in so long and I’m pleased to do so for this beautiful restaurant. Trust me، it is one you HAVE to try. If the daughter is not there، it’s only because she may be at the Montreal location and the owners are the chefs so they are busy cooking up the best dishes with love and from scratch.

If you know the iconic Da Emma Resto in Montreal، then you already know the level of excellence we were expecting… but Emma and Lorenzo in Florida completely exceeded it. From the moment we walked in، we were welcomed and treated with such warmth and care، it truly felt special. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Every single dish was a 10/10. The veal meatballs were rich and comforting، the pasta was perfectly cooked، and the veal limoncata was hands down the best I’ve ever had in my life. The sauce tasted so authentic and flavorful، you’ll literally want to lick the plate. Barbara and the entire waitstaff were incredible! so attentive، thoughtful، and always making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. To top it all off، the dessert and coffee were just as amazing، and we even had the pleasure of meeting Emma herself، which made the experience even more special. This wasn’t just dinner، it was an experience. We’ll 100% be back when in Florida. Grazie mille Emma، Barbara e Luigi، Jessica xoxo

We had an unforgettable evening at Emma and Lorenzo Trattoria for their Thursday Jazz Night. Tucked away in the corner of a small strip mall، this charming، family-owned gem completely transports you the moment you walk in—it feels lively، welcoming، and truly like dining in Rome. The pastas are freshly made in-house، and you can absolutely taste the difference. We started with the fried calamari (which also included jumbo shrimp)، lightly dusted and perfectly fried—simply delizioso. For our main courses، we ordered the Rigatoni alla Carbonara and the Orecchiette Broccoli Salsiccia. Both dishes were fantastico—rich in flavor، perfectly cooked، and clearly made with care and authenticity. And then came dessert… and wow، was it worth the wait. The Torte Pistacchio was completely out of this world—hands down one of the best desserts we’ve had in a long time. What truly made the experience special was the hospitality. Barbara، the owner، stopped by our table mid-meal to check on us. She was incredibly warm، charming، and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest feels at home. If you’re in the mood for AMAZING Italian cuisine with a cozy، authentic vibe and great live music، Emma and Lorenzo is a must. You will not be disappointed.

I came to this restaurant three years ago. This is the best place the best atmosphere the best food and best wine. Best bread the best salad and the best treatment you’re gonna get you trust me. I love this Italian place. Very original oriented and located in a local place and amazing amazing stuff they really take care of you. I love it and the price is it amazing you’re always gonna like it. Thank you.

Authentic Roman cuisine is a an understatement. Excellent food، atmosphere، service. I would highly recommend to all friends and family to experience true Roman dining. Go for the Roman specialities like Carbonara، Amatriciana، Cacio e Pepe. Barbara is wonderful she will guide you and make you feel like family. Emma & Lorenzo is a can't miss and you support a wonderful family.
