da Emilio

This was a great meal mid day (rare to find) reasonable price and really great setting. Not a tourist trap despite being in a tourist trap area, you can expect all Americans to be here at 3pm. Service was great and they brought the dog water right when we sat!

Loved the place. Location is across the harbor.
Food is delicious. I will highly recommend the Grigliata Mista ( mixed seafood) and Mandilli Al Pesto.
Service was fast and staff are friendly.

Perfect service! Friendly and attentive staff, although they understand minimal English they still try to attend to our needs which in my opinion is worth mentioning here..
the food is delicious! My steak was so tender and I love it! My family also enjoyed their lunch😍 we decided to also order dessert and they do not disappoint! Their apple pie was so so so good OMg!! I’m not really an Apple pie person but when I finish the whole thing, you know that it’s damn good!!! Worth the price!
If I ever have the chance to visit Santa Margarita again, will definitely drop by this restaurant for a meal.. thank you for serving us!!

Absolutely amazing service! The waiters took great care of us and made excellent recommendations based on the menu. Superb food and great value for the area! Will definitely be returning

One of the best places that I ever ate. The food is excellent. The sauces are on point.

Restaurant facing the sea walk of Santa Margherita, Da Emilio offers both Pizza and typical Liguria’s dishes. We opted for these last ones taking Pansotti with nuts’ souce, and Testaroli with Pesto sauce, along with some Focaccia di Recco as entry dish. Everything was excellent to say the least!! I go to Liguria often and it’s hard to spot restaurants with such an excellent typical Liguria’s cuisine like Da Emilio. Also, all the personnel has been of extreme courtesy to us. Finally, the prices are average; the price to quality ratio is extremely satisfying. If you search for a very good restaurant in Santa Margherita, you have to definitely try this one.

Great service and beautiful location. Had trofie pesto which was gorgeous, perfectly al dente and bold taste, accompanied by great value and taste white wine. Definitely would recommend to anyone passing by!!

We had dinner at this restaurant and we can say that the service is really good. Friendly waiters and ready to advice you the best dishes. If you go to Santa Margaritha, then please eat local and let you be advised. This is the place to be.

Nice atmosphere and tasty food! Service is perfect! Highly recommend!

If you want Italian real pasta, go here, really great

I must say, the experience was fantastic! The pizza was simply amazing, with a perfect balance of flavors and a delightful thin crust that was crispy on the edges. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness. But what truly stole the show was the incredible afogato. The combination of rich espresso poured over creamy, velvety gelato was a heavenly treat for my taste buds. The flavors blended harmoniously, leaving me craving for more. If you're looking for a place with amazing pizza and an unforgettable affogato, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit!

Delicious food and Mattia in Service was great, Grazie mille.

Very great service, which is very hard to find in Italy 👏👏
Good food I highly recommend if you want to lunch or dinner come to this restaurant.
It doesn’t matter how busy they are they still give you their best.

Very good food and nice service. Highly recommend the pizza di mare!

I dont often write reviews, but the pizza at this place is amazing. Nothing extraordinairy, but the dough, the tomato Sauce just tastes amazing. And it is thin and cross… just wow. Never had a pizza this simple and perfect. Been here twice this week and will be here again tonorrow for sure.

da Emilio was great for us. Despite no reservation, crew re-arranged tables to accomodate. Food was all "first class-grade A-fancy" to me even compared to the best seafood I can find around Boston and that is saying something. They also had pizza but I figured that on the Mediterranean I should try the local catch. All good, all around: great food, eagerness to accomodate, prompt service, reasonable prices for a tourist town. Loved it. Would return.

Da Emilios is a very atmospheric, busy, buzzing restaurant in the heart of the Santa Margharita beach front. Ask to be served by Matteo and order the Scalopini with Caponata for main course, and you will have a great evening.

Amazing food, especially the rice, excellent service. Tutto buonissimo

The food is delicious and the service is excellent

Excellent service, friendly staff, great location. Glass enclosed "outdoor" seating was nice during this time of year. Husband and I ordered american calzone and waiter allowed us to sub in spicy salami for ham. It was outstanding! We have lived here for over a month and this was one of the best we've had. You will not be disappointed!
