Emilio's Tapas Hillside
This is the original Emilio’s Tapas, opened in 1988 to instant acclaim as one of Chicago Magazine’s Top 10 New Restaurants that year. The restaurant has continued to win a multitude of awards, and is annually listed in the Top 25 Chicagoland Restaurants each year since opening.
Chef and Owner Emilio Gervilla offers up an extensive and delectable array of hot and cold Tapas (shared small plates) and superb Paellas all designed to be perfectly matched with an extensive Wine List, Specialty Drink Menu, and freshly made Sangria.
Upbeat, colorful, casual, friendly, sophisticated and professional, Emilio’s is a great place to entertain, dine, and enjoy friends and family.
