We chose Da Emma due to the Yelp reviews and this was the first time we were disappointed by Yelp (we use it a lot, even at home).\n\nYes, the atmosphere is unique and interesting, the restaurant is clean and orderly, the salads were very tasty (including the cheese), the waiter was very attentive and humerous, but the food just wasn't up to par. Yelp had also steered us away from Little Italy, and we were hoping we would hit on something better.\n\nThe Osso Bucco is a different, Roman-type preparation, which the waiter explained up front. I found it slightly tough and on the bland side. The broccoli was over-cooked and way too salty. The pasta is non-descript. Given this, the restaurant is overpriced in my opinion.\n\nMy husband had a fish dish that tasted pretty good. He seemed to like it but didn't rave. He couldn't remember which one it was.\n\nOur friend ordered a pasta dish and said it was good, but it didn't look extraordinary at all. We wouldn't try it again or recommend it to others.
