The Take
Emília Romagna earns a Slop Score of 29. Order the fixed menu or classic pasta with meat sauce to get the authentic pastas, risottos, and polenta that actually deliver.
Positive reviews praise the food and service, yet the Thai and Japanese fusion items signal a confused identity play for locals chasing status through "elevated" Italian in the suburbs.
The Verdict
Emília Romagna delivers reliable local Italian when you stick to the fixed menu or meat-sauce classics. The fusion items drag it down to a 29 Slop Score.
Buy the fixed menu or call ahead for the R$250 closed menu with wine pairing. Skip the experiments.
