In 1988, Emilio took the great step and opened his own Emilio's Tapas Bar Restaurant in Hillside, Illinois. This restaurant was named one of Chicago's Ten Best New Restaurants by the prestigious Chicago Magazine. His success spurred new ideas and brought the opening of two additional restaurants: Emilio's Tapas Chicago Lincoln Park, which opened in September, 1994, and Emilio's newest tapas bar and restaurant, Emilio's Tapas Sol y Nieve, located in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood. Sol y Nieve features a private dining room, outdoor patio, and extensive wine bar.

Emilio proved that dreams do come true; and if you can't go home again, you can bring home along with you. Emilio believes great food, good ambiance, and selling city-style food at country prices, is giving the guests what they like. Gervilla plans to continue bringing his Chicago-style restaurants to people everywhere.
