Let's start with the positive aspects. First of all, I like the atmosphere of Plaza Emporiyum. They have good music, big TVs showing football and UFC. Also, the concept is pretty great. Essentially it is a food court consisting of circa 5 kitchens and a shared eating area. This means that there's plenty to choose from.
Now to the negative aspects of Plaza Emporiyum. The menu was terribly misleading. One example is the carbonara which was said to consist of guanciale, black pepper, pecorino romano and "egg yolk cream". Sounds really authentic, right? Well, as it turns out, they also put a lot of heavy cream into the sauce, which completely ruins the flavor and demolishes the authenticity of the dish. When trying to order, we also discovered that at least two of the kitchens were closed. I'm sure there were reasons for this, but the fact that we weren't informed that almost half of the menu was unavailable is a major minus.

Read moreI can’t speak for the rest of the food, but the “carbonara” pasta was completely disappointing and far from authentic. It was just plain pasta served with a cream sauce — nothing more. The dish had no real flavor, the portion was small, and overall, it was tasteless and unappetizing.
The service was decent, but I noticed the waitress touched the eating part of the fork with her hands, which seemed unhygienic.
The prices are quite high considering the poor quality of the food. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also far from cozy or pleasant.
I wouldn’t return and definitely wouldn’t recommend this...
