Emiliano’s

Emiliano’s at 21 High Street, Waterford is a charming Italian restaurant helmed by the passionate duo Emiliano and Daniella. Their culinary journey began in Italy, where Emiliano honed his skills in traditional Italian cooking, bringing authentic flavors to every dish he creates here. Their philosophy centers around using fresh, quality ingredients to craft genuine Italian meals that evoke the warmth and joy of a family gathering.

The restaurant is celebrated for its signature dish, the ‘Tagliatelle Emiliano’, a delightful mix of homemade pasta, pancetta, and a creamy mushroom sauce that keeps guests coming back for more. Another crowd favorite is their ‘Tiramisu della Nonna’, a dessert that Daniella makes with a secret family recipe. The cozy atmosphere, with its rustic wooden furnishings and soft, ambient lighting, makes diners feel like they’ve been transported straight to a quaint Italian trattoria.

Open Tuesday to Sunday from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Emiliano’s offers a range of classic Italian dishes alongside a selection of fine wines. Prices are reasonable, with main courses typically ranging from €15 to €25. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, and can be made by calling the restaurant directly. While there’s limited street parking available, the nearby Bolton Street Car Park provides ample space. Emiliano’s is truly a slice of Italy in the heart of Waterford.
