They changed there hours!Closed weekdays for breakfast and lunch. Weekends open all day!Thank goodness as great food!

Great place, good food, good service and nice ambiance . The eggs benedict were on a delicious Italian ham, and the eggs cooked just right. All the salads are tasty particularly the artichoke salad. The ricotta pancakes are terrific, and so is the French toast. A beautiful restaurant with table service. The food was delivered quickly and the servers are very pleasant.

My daughter and I had dinner here last night after spending the day at a museum.The decor is very nice. Lots of natural light, cute color scheme and furniture (has a bit of European feel to it). The service was good. Although there is not a lot of street parking, you can park in the building garage, and the restaurant will validate.My daughter and I specifically chose this restaurant as she wanted linguine with clams, and I saw this restaurant had that on their permanent menu. Their menu is not extensive (less than 10 pasta dishes). We were the first table seated on a Saturday night. When we left, there were only 2 other tables seated.They bring out some bread and breadsticks, both of which were good. They also bring out some julienned vegetables, which I've never seen before and didn't really get.We had:Fried Calamari (4.5/5) - best dish of the night. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried and the calamari had a lot of flavor. Came with some fried zucchini as well. Comes with accompanying marinara and ranch sauces.Tagliatelle alla Bolognese (4/5) - Good version of a standard bolognese dish.Linguine with "clams" (2/5) - As I mentioned, this was the reason we came here. We were also the first table seated on a Saturday night. When we ordered this and the bolognese, the waiter told us these 2 were the most popular pasta dishes at the restaurant. Unfortunately, he came back a few minutes later to tell us they had "run out of clams." Very disappointing given they only have 9 pasta dishes on the menu and claim this is one of their signature dishes. Wouldn't most restaurants be "ready" for the Sat night crowd? We got to the restaurant a bit before they opened and saw what I assumed was the staff meeting prior to opening. They don't talk about what they have/don't have? He said they could substitute shrimp. Given the limited alternatives, we agreed. The shrimp was pretty sad. The overall dish had a bitter aftertaste. It just seems to me that for a restaurant to conduct business this way just seems like they don't care anymore.Overall, a disappointing experience.

This was a charming little spot for a great breakfast. The staff is very friendly and the food was perfect.

Enjoyed a nice brunch following a surgery at Cedars. The ambiance was open, bright and airy. Started with a bold cafe latte paired with a scrumptious Italian donut filled with strawberry jam. I enjoyed the veggie frittata accompanied by a lightly dressed fresh salad and sour dough toast. Attentive service and outdoor seating. Nearby parking underground by Trader Joes.

ABOUTEmilia is a beautiful, classy Italian restaurant. It is close to Cedars Sinai Hospital. It is next door to Trader Joe's which is in the same building. PARKING (IMPORTANT)Park in the Trader Joe's parking lot around the corner for free validated parking from the restaurant (2.5 hour validation). There is also metered parking on the street but it can be tough to find.OUR ORDERFor breakfast or brunch I highly suggest the ricotta pancakes. They are very light and fluffy and come with fresh fruit and syrup. My dining companion also loved the frittata bianca which was a vegetable frittata that came with a side of potatoes or fruit. Portions sizes were generous. Food was delicious.AMBIANCE AND SERVICEService is so nice and friendly here. They are very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere and music was very relaxing. It was not very busy for weekday breakfast so it's nice if you want to go somewhere more low-key. They do have an outdoor patio but the art deco inside is the way to go, in my opinion. Also, there is counter space inside which would be a comfortable place to eat solo.

According to my research on the Internet, the region is known for its delicious food.ADDITIONALLYYou can make reservations through Opentable.They had a special truffle menu which I did not try since I was there for breakfast but truffles are a real delicacy and can be a delicious splurge. I think it's a very cool feature.Buon appetito!

I've been wanting to try this place for their pasta after hearing great things about it. When I finally got the chance to go, it turned out to be too early in the day--they were only serving breakfast then.I decided to try their Toast all'avocado, and it was good! The coffee was great, too, which I appreciate since I'm particular about my coffee. The ambiance is calm and peaceful, making it a lovely spot for a relaxing morning meal. The staff was very nice and added to the positive experience.I'll definitely be back to try their pasta when I get the chance!

Food is good. I had the focaccia with mozzarella, tomatoes and arugula. It's big and comes with a sunny side egg but with black pepper on it. French toast is good - not my favorite because it's too cinnamon-ee for me. Prosciutto with melon - dad says outstanding. Frittata Bianca with the whole egg - very good my partner says. Julio was the best part ! The heat is the only unfortunate thing. Dad was sweating the whole time and there was nothing to be done.
