    I have gotten my birthday cake from Emilia's two years in a row now, and at this point it's…read morebasically a tradition. This year was the classic tiramisu again and somehow I still wasn't prepared for how good it is. I ended up eating nearly half the cake myself. If you know tiramisu, you'll appreciate this one. The sponge is very soaked like super rich, espresso-forward, and honestly feels like drinking a glass of coffee in dessert form. I personally love that deep, juicy texture, but if you're someone who prefers a lighter, less saturated sponge, this might be a bit much for you. That said, it's absolutely worth trying. Just maybe start with a smaller size at the restaurant before committing to a full cake. This is exactly the kind of tiramisu I crave, and it's the reason Emilia's keeps being the birthday cake spot every year.

    The service was quite slow between courses. We ended up spending over two hours total, which is far…read moretoo much time for any restaurant. The food itself was good. It wasn't great, but it was good. A disappointing part was that you pretty much have to valet your car. It's $20 if you're not eating there or in the hotel, and it's $10 if you are eating in the restaurant. That does not include your tip. It was restaurant week, so we thought we would give Emily a shot. What we found was that, because I wanted the sea bass, if we ordered off the menu instead of the restaurant week special, we would save about $20. That doesn't make sense.

    Came for a pasta making class which i highly recommend cost is $60 per person. Was a great…read moreexperience. We had an amazing waitress in Annamarie who recommended the best drinks and wine pairings with our pasta we made. It was a great setup to be as intimate or socialize as much as you'd like. They taught us how to make pasta and gnocchi from scratch and also sent us home with our dough and some sauce and noodles to cook later ourselves I highly recommend the calamari and brussel sprouts. The calamari was fried perfectly very light but still had the crunch and the crispy sprouts were crispy and had a phenomenal taste with the Parmesan cheese

    Loved it again…read more This is our second time here. As luck would have it, Patrick was our server again. He's super friendly and knows the menu well. He got our drinks, then a basket of warm bread with a plate of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Yummy! There were three of us tonight. We ordered as follows: - Capellini with Seafood - Branzino with Garlic Spinach (shared) - Il Modo Chopped Salad Wow - the food was amazing tonight. My wife and I shared the Branzino. It was a huge portion and real tasty. My son had the Capellini with Seafood and loved it. I tried it as well. Loved the spicy sauce. Then we ordered dessert. Here's what we shared: - Stratacelli Gelato - Tiramisu - Cannolis Wow - they were all good. I liked the Tiramisu the best. Note: they keep it well air conditioned here. Consider a light jacket or sport coat. We will return to Il Modo. Thank you kitchen team and Patrick for another great dinner.

    This is an olddddd favorite. I've been eating at Niki's since I was a KID & let me tell you, the…read morequality has not gone down. They take their food quality seriously, whether dine in or pick up. I haven't eaten inside much since this is mine and my husbands FAVORITE guilty pleasure go-to when we want true comfort cuisine. They do have piano players that come in on the evening in weekends, I believe - but overall vibes are great. Is big enough that they'd easily be able to book a large party, etc.

    I haven't been to Niki's since it was in the building across the street. My grandmother used to…read moretake me here for random lunches and on my birthday. So not only do I have sentimental reasons for loving this restaurant so much, but the food is still phenomenal! I'm not sure what has kept me from visiting the new building but I will return wayyyyy more frequently! The ambiance is perfect for a date or nice family dinner. It was date night for me and my boyfriend- no special reason but we were both hungry. There was a piano player which was a really nice touch. We really enjoyed the songs he played. 10/10! Our waitress was very attentive, my glass was never empty of Dr. Pepper, which btw is really good for some reason. Very crisp! We ordered the combo appetizer- fried calamari rings, shrimp scampi, stuffed mushrooms, and everything is separated by a delicious sautéed spinach. This alone stuffed us! Oh my goodness, everything was delicious. The stuffed mushrooms were our favorite- very flavorful and cheesy. The pink sauce is the best! The shrimp scampi sauce was perfect to dip the garlic knots that are brought to the table. And the fried calamari is nice and crispy and tender. You can't go wrong! For our entrees (we were so stuffed we could only eat a few bites) we ordered the lobster ravioli and the Italian trio - fettuccine Alfredo, chicken Parmesan, and lasagna. Unbelievably good! All of the sauces were outstanding on each pasta. I am so glad to have revisited such cherished memories eating at Niki's and I will be back!
