Created Tom Hill and Clare Lattin of Ducksoup in Soho and Little Duck in Hackney, Emilia is their version of a small Italian Osteria (transported to the Devonshire countryside) serving seasonal, everyday Italian inspired dishes using locally grown ingredients. Tom oversees the menu and together they cook and share a love for Italian food and natural wine. The dining room is hosted by Lucy Mastroddi and Paul Seckler along with Alice Phillips.

    Have been hearing good things about Emilia's for a while, so pleased to finally get there with some food loving friends. It didn't disappoint. We shared the whole menu between 6 of us and it was all delicious. Will definitely return, thank you.

    As always a lovely setting and atmosphere. The food maybe not so good as previous occassions: the anchovy and radichio salad wasn't great and the quince icecream had very little taste. The bread, cheese and pasta dish were all good. Maybe efforts have moved down the road to Le Vin Perdu?

    Absolutely amazing lunch. Perfect ambiance and decor, lighting just right, candles on tables even at lunch (which I think is such a great touch), wonderfully attentive service, relaxed atmosphere. Food exquisite, and the non-alc spritzes were divine. A new Devon highlight for me.

    We had an exceptional meal here last night. We don't ever choose Italian restaurants because of the predictability of the menu but this experience was completely different. Very friendly & informative staff to help us with the things we didn't recognise on the menu. Lovely atmosphere & lighting & exceptional food. Everything we ate was delicious & after having 2 starters, 3 larger plates, 2 desserts, a beer & 500ml of wine for the 2 of us, we were also pleasantly surprised by the bill. Can't recommend highly enough.
