Ermilio's Italian Home Cooking, Eureka Springs

This place was amazing! The food was amazing and the service was excellent! We ate here 2 out of the 2 nights we were in town! The second night I ended up not liking what I ordered and the waiter insisted on bringing me something else, he was great!

The food was WONDERFUL! We were in a large group and they seemed to have trouble with service. It was also very crowded between tables (if you back your chair up, you're likely to bump the person behind you). Also, it's not a good place for kids, they have lighted candles (the one thing they kept up with was re-lighting that every time I blew it out to keep my son from reaching over to touch it) and only one booster seat. If you're looking for a great dinner for two, then this is the place! If you're a large group looking to have a family meal, maybe not a great place.

Highly recommend! Tiramisu was OUT OF THIS WORLD! If you visit Eureka Spri9ngs and don't eat here you will be missing out on one of the best meals of your lives.

Wonderful italian restaurant - delecious food and nice wine selection. I always try to eat here when visiting Eureka Springs. Usually fills up almost immediately when doors open for dinner. Seating is limited.

The "in season-'ahem?'-seared sea scallops" meal with three (count 'em 3), scallops $21.95, which included a paltry side of pasta, tossed in a bland, thimble sized (being generous here) portion of red sauce, 5/6 julienned half slices of squash, acorn/zuchinni combo, a mixed greens salad of perhaps 8/10 leafs with a single grape tomato, and overly doughy bread were in toto, a disaster. The roasted garlic was the best thing served with the meal. Followed by a single bite of the "Death By Chocolate" cake. I now realize why the name, "Death By Chocolate", as it was so dry I almost choked to death. Epic fail on taste, portion, price, open and crowded seating, noise, and hectic atmosphere. Staff and service were however, above average, but that's simply not enough for a second chance from me.

We went here on a weekend visit to Eureka Springs, and we thought it was great. It was very romantic and charming, great atmosphere. We had stuffed mushroom raviolis with tomato basil sauce. It was delicious...my husband is very picky about seasonings, and he really liked this combination. The portions were a little small, but maybe more realistic compared to some restaurants today. The service from the waitstaff was excellent! We would go there again.

My wife and I went to Eureka Springs to celebrate our anniversary. Everywhere we went we were told we must try Ermilios. We went on a Friday night and was told that it would be 45 minutes. That was fine because we expected a wait and were excited about having some awesome Italian food. The meal started out pretty good with excellent roasted garlic and decent bread and butter. Their homemade blue cheese dressing was to die for but the salad it was on was pitiful and they just gave you a dab of dressing. I stuck with Homemade Spaghetti and meatballs, my wife ordered Italian Sausage with Linguini. The red sauce that came on both of our entrees was very bland, almost watered down tasting. As for the meatballs, I have had better at Subway. My wife's sausage was alright but the sauce was so non tasty that it left us flabbergasted. We joked that Olive Garden was better than this and my wife said that my sauce that I make blew this away. I had to agree. I would suggest trying another Italian restarant in Eureka. The wait could not be as long and who knows, the food could not be any worse. Try the duck at the Bavaria Inn if you want a treat. I know it is not Italian but it was the best food we had while we were there.

We had a very pleasant experience at Ermilio's. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our meal a lot. If we had stayed longer in the area, we would have returned. The chicken marsala was very good and the Italian creme cake slices we ordered to go were so very good.

This place is hands down the BEST Italian food I have ever had! It's an old renovated home. Upstairs is the bar, downstairs in the dining. Not a big place. But you can't beat the food. And the roasted garlic that they bring to your table is addictive!

As usual Ermelio's food was YUMMY. Their Bleu Cheese dressing is the best on the planet. We have never been disappointed and we've eaten there many many times.
