Best Italian Restaurants in Art Museum

Just a wonderful time with the family at the pasta table experience. Every person we interacted with was friendly and responsive - from the host who got drinks for us while we were waiting out front, to the staff serving us, to the chef who takes time to talk to guests. And the food was spectacular! Thank you!

Emmett is such a warm, inviting, and delicious restaurant! The moment you walk in, you're greeted by this wonderful smoky aroma from one of their smoke-infused dishes, which lingers in the air and makes the whole place feel especially cozy—perfect for a fall or winter evening. Our waiter was absolutely lovely—incredibly attentive, accommodating, and genuinely friendly. The food was outstanding! There's a tasting menu option, which we decided to skip, but we watched beautiful dishes coming out of the kitchen, and everyone around us seemed just as delighted as we were. The tuna was exceptional, the pasta was delicious, and the hanger kebab was a standout! The meat was so juicy, flavorful, and tender that it practically melted in our mouths. We were far too full for dessert, but that's just another reason to return! Highly recommend Emmett for a cozy evening and a truly delicious meal!

One of my favorite restaurants because the food and service never disappoints! They also have the best espresso martini!

My favorite restaurant in Philly for a special occasion or just meeting close friends! Every dish was remarkably creative and delicious. The goat was incredible! Excellent recommendations on matching wines from the somm. with wide selection of quality Italian wines to choose between. Warm atmosphere with knowledgeable and engaging waiters.

As always, this place does not disappoint! It’s like coming home and we love it!! Food- decor- ambiance and service- always impeccable!!
