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.

    Spectacular lunch and similarly top-notch service. We enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching the chefs prep the various dishes of food (although if it's comfort and relaxation you're after, I'd recommend trying to get a table). Delicious menu with interesting ingredients like offal, rabbit, skate and pickled veg, as well as their superb signature pasta, all expertly prepared. Helpful recommendations on choosing dishes and wine by the friendly waitresses.

    If ever you're in Ashburton, Emilia really is the place to dine. My Fiancée and I had an incredible time watching the dishes be prepared by Danny and George - flawless from start to finish. Every single plate was a delight to eat - will be coming back 100%, even for years to come!

    Everything was delicious, exciting combinations of ingredients. The fluffy Gorgonzola went so well with rhubarb, and the Lambs’ hearts, and duck ragu on pasta were so satisfying to eat. Unfussy, flavourful food and wine. Great service. Wish we could come every week.
