Inquire About an Event

Emporio has been on Mott Street since 2009, and we host weddings, 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 spaces

Reserve one room, take over the restaurant, or bring a group to the main dining room.

Full restaurant buyout

Up to 90 guests

Take over all of Emporio for a seated brunch, lunch or dinner for about 90 guests, or a cocktail reception with passed hors d’oeuvres and lighter fare. A good fit for weddings, rehearsal dinners and company parties.

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.

The Front Bar Room

Up to 20 guests

A smaller room at the front of the restaurant, by the bar, for birthday dinners, team dinners and family meals.
