Emporio has been on Mott Street since 2009, and we host birthdays, company dinners and holiday parties all year.

Our kitchen builds the menu around your group, and our events staff coordinates the details so you can enjoy the night.

Roman-style cooking from the same team behind Aurora: wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta, house-cured charcuterie and an extensive wine and cocktail list.

The Skylight Room

Seats up to 70

Our largest room sits under a glass skylight, with long wooden tables, banquettes and framed photographs on every wall. It can be reserved privately without booking the whole restaurant.

The skylight brings in daylight for brunch and lunch, and the pendant lights warm the room at night.
