Emilano’s Pizza and Pasta

Gross. I ordered the Emiliano’s special pasta. It comes with sausage, shrimp and chicken. It had maybe two pieces of shrimp, a few pieces of chicken and the ends of some summer sausage. Eww. It was heavily drenched in sauce. I guess to mask the overcooked noodles. The house salad was even nasty. Never again.

The pizza is good, but the crust is very cheap and bland. The crust is the only thing that makes me think twice about ordering again. I ended up making garlic butter to put on the crust.
I got delivery and it was delivered warm, fresh, and quickly!
I also got the chocolate cake…
Tip: HEAT UP FOR 30 SECONDS
I also recommend getting the pizza well done.

It’s kind of hilarious and maybe it’s from previous experience in the hospitality industry or just common sense but I couldn’t believe the level of disrespect and horrible customer service I experienced this Saturday (1÷17÷2016). Whoever was working the phones and taking orders shouldn’t be there and if he’s the owner, then he’s in the wrong business. He was rude when taking our order then when he messed up my order, he made it difficult to get a replacement and the ultimately a refund. He told me he couldn’t bring me my money because they were busy and probably thought that since I was staying at a hotel, that I didn’t have transportation. I showed up with the messed up order in hand and instead of apologizing for the inconvenience, he called my girlfriend a liar (even though I was sitting next to her while it was on speaker phone and heard her correctly) and then said it’s not his fault because he didn’t hear her. When I told him how rude that was to accuse someone of lying because he didn’t hear correctly, he just shrugged his shoulders and basically said «oh well.» By the way, the establishment didn’t have one person in there and 2 drivers were standing around and my hotel was only a couple miles away so why couldn’t they have brought back my corrected order or money? There are so many better options for good pizza and good customer service. This isn’t one of them.

This was pure comedy as I experienced sheer incompetency from the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in my life. They got my pizza delivery order incorrect, and told me that they «didn’t hear me say that», and made a fit about bringing me my correct order. We were fed up at this point, and just told them to give us our money back. The guy then says we’d have to come in to get the money (we had paid in cash) since they were «way too busy». So, we show up, and there is literally not one customer inside the store. My boyfriend had taken a couple of bites of one of the slices before realizing the order was wrong, and the guy tried to charge us $ 3 for it. Our pizza was $ 13, and there were 8 slices. I informed him that 13 divided by 8 was 1.60, not 3. So sketchy. Obviously, math wasn’t this guy’s strong suit (nor were his hearing capabilities), so we asked for the original receipt which never came with our delivery. He starts to re-​add our order, and counts on a $ 5 delivery charge. My boyfriend points out that the delivery fee was $ 3.50 online. What the hell was this guy trying to pull? What was really funny was that he kept claiming that if he pulled up a voice recording of our call, that he’d be correct. I really hope he does listen to that, and realize that he is, in fact, an idiot. All in all, there are plenty of other great pizza places around here. Don’t waste your time with this place. Not worth the dishonesty, rudeness, stupidity, and crappy pizza. No wonder the place was empty.

Not original but they do what they do well. They use good ingredients in their food and you can taste it.
The tiramisu should be cheaper.

Ordered wings (delivered) after 10pm. The delivery took about 40 minutes. No carrot sticks or celery. No napkins or wet naps (I was in a hotel and didn’t have these).
The food however was hot, fresh, meaty & well sauced (but not drowned).
Could be a little more thorough with delivery experience, but otherwise good.

Stopped in yesterday for a very quick bite for lunch. All I wanted was a small or personal size pizza. I was the only one there, so it seemed like they weren’t used to actually having customers inside; it’s more of a pick up your pizza kind of place. (You could use actual napkin dispensers at the tables, by the way.)
So twice I was asked how I heard about E. Milano before I even ordered (it’s not Emilano’s). I said « Unilocal», which was true. I was on my way to the airport to fly home but I wanted just a slice or so of pizza, and not a burger through a fast food window. I opened up my Unilocal app and I was on the Donelson Pike and there it was.
So let me tell you: these guys have perfected a delicious small pizza, made to order, with rich, delicious tomato sauce, pepperoni slices crisp, and nice jalapeño slices that complemented the flavor. Nice and piping hot, and also full of flavor. Took them maybe 5 – 8 min to make it; took me just about that time to wolf it down. Fantastic! Now I know where to order pizza next time I’m in this wonderful city —and wonderful too because each meal I had during my 3 day stay was superb all around.

Great food!, came in about 50 minutes before they closed, no attitude, no weird looks. The guy at the counter was very cool, talked to me a minute, asked me how my day was, very friendly and inviting. Also when I ordered and payed he offered to bring it to our vehicle when it was done, wished us a great evening, smiled and walked back in. Would recommend it.

Great tasting food and only a $ 10 min delivery fee which makes it perfect for ordering from work. The only negative thing I can say is avoid anything with meatballs because tey don’t give you whole ones. they pud half meat balls with pasta and even less then that with subs. Pizza is great and so are the other subs and calzones. Definatley worth checking out.

I placed my order directly from the Unilocal website. It was quick and convenient. My order arrived in 35 minutes, so was fast for a Friday night.
The driver showed up with a hand written receipt that I could not sign (I paid with my credit card). I said, oh, I don’t have to sign. He said, «no, you tip with cash» in broken English. I said I had cash, but didn’t realize I couldn’t add tip to my receipt. I came back with my only $ 1, and apologized because I didn’t know about the receipt. He looked at me very rudely, and walked off.
The food was a ⁵⁄₁₀. I will never order from here again. I got the sampler appetizer and the small chicken and alfredo pizza, for a total of $ 28. The food was definitely not worth that, and the service was worse! Whoever thinks this is good food has never tasted real food.

I would have liked to give this 3.5 stars. For some reason we thought this place was a dine-​in Italian restaurant so we made the jaunt over there & found it to be primarily a carry-​out joint. For example, they don’t have a fountain machine, all drinks are served in the bottle & nobody was sitting in the dine-​in section other than us on a Saturday night. They may or may not still be undergoing light renovations due to the patched up walls & cabinets on the floor. Lots of the people were picking up pizzas (which we didn’t try) but based upon the cheesy bread we ordered its probably a good idea because the cheesy bread was made just like a pizza pie with ooey-​gooey real cheese everywhere but the crust. We ordered the ravioli & tortellini for dinner. The sauce was a bit runny for our taste but the entrée was my favorite part of what we ordered. The breadsticks weren’t memorable and the chocolate sticks were the just breadsticks with chocolate sauce and sugar on top. I ordered the tiramisu for dessert which was still a little frozen in the middle.

NEVER ORDER DESSERT HERE! I ordered the cheesecake and tiramisu for delivery and both were frozen solid! When I called to let them know, a nice girl answered and handed me over to the manager. However, the manager told me that the desserts were supposed to be frozen! Um… when was the last time anyone ever enjoyed a frozen piece of tiramisu? I’d like to think never.

Awesome delivery service and we loved the food.
We ordered a calzone, antipasta salad, and a cajun pasta dish. The calzone was huge and easily and entrée for two people. The salad was fresh with lots of toppings. We ordered italian and greek dressing on the side, but greek was the favorite. The pasta was fine, very heavy cream sauce and somewhat flavorless. It was fine, just not as good as the calzone or salad. For a quick and easy delivery to an airport hotel, it was perfect.

Disappointed and will not be ordering from here again…
After reading several great reviews about their food, I decided to order delivery while visiting Nashville for work. They had a $ 15 delivery minimum and charged an additional $ 4 delivery fee which was very high in comparison to other delivery places near my hotel but I did not want to take a chance on the quality of food in exchange for a less expensive delivery fee and cheaper food. You get what you pay for, right?! Well, not in this case. I ordered the lasagna with an add on side salad with thousand island dressing and tiramisu which came to a whopping total of $ 27.59! My food arrived well before the expected delivery time, however, my salad was not included in my bag. I paid with my debit card online, and I believe this is why the driver simply dropped the bag in my hands and left before I had a chance to check the accuracy of my order. I tried to catch him once I realized I was missing food but he was gone and I was too late. I immediately called the restaurant to inform them of the issue and I was assured the driver was going to return with my salad. He did return in a few minutes time, however this time, I was given the wrong salad dressing. I called back again to inform them of the second mistake and whomever answered the phone offered to have the correct dressing brought back, but I declined. I simply expressed my dissapointment with not getting what I asked for, twice and nothing was offered to me for my inconvenience, not even an apology. He didn’t seem to care and had a «so what do you want me to do about it» kind of attitude. On top of all that, my lasagna was not as good as I’d expected, was not worth the high cost and the breadsticks were hard and cold.

Came in during the big winter snow… the place was empty. Lucky for us… the food was awesome. The garlic bread was perfect and the margarita pizza very good.

This place was a total life saver for me. After having a terrible day at Nashville International airport and ended up stuck there with absolutely nothing open because of an ice storm, I found Emiliano’s on Unilocal!So pleased. Not only did the driver brave the ice for me (it’s only 2 miles from the airport but still) but the Eggplant Parmesan was delicious. The garlic bread was a little cold but I was so grateful that they delivered that they get 5 stars. Well done Emiliano’s!

I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza online and had it delivered to my hotel 4.9 miles away. The pizza tasted delicious along with the texture and taste of the chicken itself-​something I am picky about. I was happy it tasted «gourmet» as advertised, something that a lot of companies subjectively abuse. The only thing that could have improved the pizza was to include more blue cheese. There was not a lot of cheese on the pizza unlike the «extra cheese» descriptor for this menu item. It was to the point where I couldn’t actually taste the cheese. But the pizza was really good, so this was not a problem.
The online order feature did not issue a delivery time estimate, so I had to call in for that information. The pizza arrived at their 20 minute delivery estimate which was very fast, and more importantly, accurate. I am a happy customer tonight!

Not in our normal area, but stopped here to pick up carry out for supper with friends. Spaghetti and meatballs, chicken fettuccine Alfredo, pesto pasta, meat lovers pizza, and strawberry cheesecake were all tried by the group. All were delicious.
Small little place, but full of character and really good food at a reasonable price. Plus, nice folks there!
Good suggestion Unilocal

At 11:30pm my friend and I decided to order in. We were too lazy to leave the house. This late in the night, I immediately lowered my expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised with my meal.
lt is now 12:28am and I am already finished eating. This is pretty impressive considering I’ve waited hours before for Delivery.
I ordered spaghetti with meat balls and added a small Greek salad. My friend and I split this meal and we were both full and satisfied by the end of it. The salad dressing was great. The marinara sauce and meatballs were hot and delicious. The bread could have been a tad crispier, but now I know to specify next time.
I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a late night delivery. 5 stars and the longest food review I’ve ever written…

Wow. I was pleasantly surprised by just how good this place was.
I think I received the wrong order, but the mistake worked out in my favor. It had been a long day exploring Nashville and I wasn’t really ready for go out again once I got back to the hotel, so I stopped by Emilano’s for a to-​go order.
The inside has an old-​time pizza parlor feel, with the red and white and black color scheme. It’s an open floorplan with one tv and none of the dusty artificial plants. The kitchen had the requisite long window where if you wanted to stand, you could peer through and watch the kitchen staff as they worked. The dining area looked a little worn, but it’s probably the red paint that makes the scuff marks on everything else obvious. The corner with the register, had a high counter, almost like a bar, and it seemed cluttered for some reason, but maybe it’s because I was expecting to see a bar setup. (ok – it really had been a long day and maybe I had adult beverages on my mind.)
I ordered a white pizza and the garlic twists. It’s the first time I’ve been given a white pizza with tomatoes and peppers in thick, tasty slices. Wow — if it was a mistake it was a really, really, good one. The garlic twists were the other nice surprise. Usually garlic knots consist of a lightly flavored oil. These twists went the other direction and had real chopped garlic and there was no skimping on it. Of course, even the small order of both the pizza and twists was enough for two or three people and it went to waste.
All things considered, I’d come here again and try a few of the other menu items. If they’re half as good as the pizza, I couldn’t go wrong.
