What a dining experience! After hearing many people rave about Da Emma for quite some time, I decided to give it a go. Located on De La Commune in the western part of the Old Port, what once was a women's prison is now a charming Italian eatery. Where to begin?
I decided to split the tortelloni with my wife. Stuffed with 4 different cheeses and minced prosciutto topped with a Gorgonzola sauce, this pasta plate is NOT for those who are lactose intolerant. Very rich, very creamy, very good!
Next was the meatballs in a marinara sauce. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves italian meatballs like their Nonna used to make them.
Finally, I had oven roasted lamb which was cooked in it's own juices with white wine and olive oil for over an hour. The house specialty. The meat was succulent, melt in your mouth goodness! Each bite was better than the last. For a meat course, this is the way to go.
For dessert (yes I decided to stuff it all in!), I shared the tiramisu which was the perfect way to end a great meal coupled with a beautiful cappuccino.
Great great meal, and the lobby filled with Hollywood A-listers clearly agree.
***Note to all future diners: be prepared to walk it off. Luckily it is located by the waterfront with a beautiful view of the city.
