Emilio's Trattoria - Encino

First, awesome food. Beyond that, my lady and I had a tremendous experience tonight. We were seated at a table with 4 young gents(all cousins) from Saudi Arabia on vacation before the start of their next year of high school.Their two security guards also at the table were initially a bit concerned (it appeared). But we engaged in a meaningful discussion with the young lads and they seemed to have enjoyed our discussion...they even purchased our meal to our surprise. They were very well mannered and well raised quality young men. Their parents are no doubt very proud of them all. I would be.

I've been going to Emilio's for a few years now, it's my girlfriend that made me discover this place, she has been going for much longer, we both love their salads.They have an amazing chopped salad on which you can choose through a few different protein, and it comes with the best vinaigrette and bread, which as a french man really pleases me!!Love it, best Salads in LA!! ?

We had their signature chopped salad. Fresh, delicious mixed with a light, savory Italian dressing. The small size with a protein is a meal in itself. And the complementary bread is one of the best we have had at an Italian restaurant.Food: 5/5

I have been going to Emilio’s for 50 years. My husband and I’ve been ordering the same food almost every time and I’ve never had a problem until now. When I asked them to give me the caesar dressing for my chopped salad they wanted to charge me 75 cents more for each little container of dressing. I have always used that dressing without an extra charge. We had to return to the restaurant to pick up the dressing because they forgot to put them in the bag. There was no apology and just rudeness from the owners wife. She made me wait a long time just to get the dressing and never apologized. Then she told me I needed to purchase something else to get the dressing that I originally purchased with my salad. We will never return to this restaurant again and we go there at least 3 times a month. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone! There are plenty of wonderful restaurants in ENCINO where they treat their customers well. They have lost 2 excellent customers!
