Emporio is the Nolita version of the SoHo restaurant Aurora. Their menus are very similar, but the Emporio restaurant also has a large glass-covered backyard. The food is pretty good, although the dishes we got were a bit greasy. All their pastas are made fresh on location.

Reservations
They take reservations and the restaurant does fill up for dinner. We were able to get a table without a wait early in the evening.
Items Ordered
Barbabietole
wood roasted beets, local dandelion, pistachios, ricotta salata
The beet salad was mostly beets with a few orange slices, and a light vinaigrette dressing. The ricotta salata is a pressed hard ricotta cheese which is a bit salty but still mild tasting.
Le Orecchiette al Coniglio
Durum wheat pasta with free range Vermont rabbit ragu, black Tuscan kale & pecorino
The orecchiette was on the specials menu. It was a salty dish and had an olive and butter sauce. The rabbit was cooked until tender and was torn into small pieces. There wasn't as much kale in the dish as I thought there would be.
Paccheri alla “Norma”
artisan pasta with Italian eggplant, tomato, basil pesto and fior di latte mozzarella
This is one of my favorite dishes from their SoHo restaurant. It is a bit greasy, but I love the combination of a lightly cooked tomato sauce with the soft cheese and fried eggplants.
