Emma & Lorenzo Trattoria

Wow! Authentic Italian home cooking by the Nonna. First visit and everything was delicious! We had the spinach Gorgonzola pasta, mussels, branzino, and pistachio torta dessert. Sorry food was so good my phone didn't get to eat . Will def be back. Prices are great compared to the rest of Miami.

This was, by far, the worst and most overpriced carbonara I've ever experienced. It was so bad that I ended up throwing it straight into the garbage. The pasta was incredibly overcooked, to the point where it was mushy and unpleasant to eat. The pancetta, which is supposed to add richness and depth, was burnt and bitter, completely ruining the dish. From the very first bite, the flavor was off-putting, and I couldn't bring myself to take another. For the price I paid, I expected something at least edible, if not delicious, but this was an absolute disaster. It's a huge disappointment, and I would never order from here again.

Truly the best Italian around. Fantastic service and great ingredients. The wines are reasonably priced, the veal is mommas best and the eggplant is tasty. See pictures...

This will certainly be a neighborhood favorite! Even for my group who drove 30 minutes from Miami Beach to eat here. This lovely italian family moved to Miami recently (in 2023) from Montreal, where they had very successful larger-operation restaurants for many decades (and still do as the remnant family who stayed behind us managing). A beautiful spirit, the sun-searching Grandmother chef Emma still only speaks Italian, and her authenticity and amore certainly shine through in her flavorful, bountiful, home style dishes. The staff is very gracious and the food is wonderfully delicious. Prices are very reasonable, which is what guarantees a staple of local loyalty iver the long term. We wish this family much welcome to our area, and we hope to enjoy their cuisine for years to come.

Beautifully renovated space - awesome date night spot. Incredibly gluten free accommodating. Started with mozzarella and arugula, then gluten free pasta (from Italy (YUM)) with ragu meat sauce. My kiddo had 2 meatballs and chocolate semifredo dessert. Hubs had mussels and the grouper - both on special. They have an amazing lunch special.We will be regulars and you should check out this gem!!!!

Now let's talk authentic Italian!!! Emma ( grandma) is in the back providing us with some of the most delicious food we've ever had.... And we have had! I even met her and her staff is not just good , they're outstanding and treat you like family. Our server Dakota did a terrific job as did Emma's daughter who wanted to make sure we were happy. YES!!!Eddie had a veal bone steak and I had the freshest tuna with Emma's incredible homemade sauce! WOW. Everything about this restaurant will make you feel at a cafe in Italy and I can't wait to taste the pistachio sauce! Sounds incredible too. Can't wait to go back!A hidden GEM in North Miami!Just a big shout out to a terrific a new restaurant that deserves to flourish and succeed. You will not be disappointed! I'm only sorry I didn't get the dessert of pear and ricotta cheese cake.... Your welcome... ‼

Excellent girls' night out experience. Lovely place , a welcoming atmosphere, tasty Chianti, pasta that melts in your mouth and desserts that transport you straight to the Motherland!

Honestly, the most home cooked Italian meals that I have had around South Miami. I feel at home when I am here. The ambiance feels like I'm in Rome. The meals are recipes from Rome. If you haven't been to Italy, don't worry... this restaurant makes you feel like you are there. The restaurant is a family owned business with a famous grandma & her son always in the kitchen making a chef's kiss meal. The service is so welcoming and every one always is making sure you are feeling comfortable. The servers also speak Italian! Even the cooks come out and you can meet the famous chefs!! This is the spot for some real Italian cuisine. I am so happy they opened. Been dreading for a place like this - authentic Italian and for a good price.

This is an exceptionally fine Italian restaurant! The food wine and service are first class Soo different from most of the Italian restaurants in Miami!! Smoked tuna with sliced truffle! Tender veal slices studded with fresh rosemary and garlic. Honestly, one of the best meals in a beautiful setting I've had in a long time.

The food here is absolutely fantastic! We kept talking about how good everything was for a few days. The best gnocchi I've ever had in my life and such a cozy ambiance. We had the tuna carpaccio to start and it was outstanding. We also got the lemon veal dish and it was so tender and flavorful. You can tell the ingredients they use are very high quality and the balance of the flavors in all the dishes were so so good. This is my new favorite Italian restaurant by far! The staff are very sweet and the service is great. Meeting Emma and knowing the food is so authentic was the highlight of our night. I have been raving about this place to everyone I know and can't wait to go back!
