Emilio's Tapas Restaurant

Emilio's Tapas Restaurant Authentic Spanish Tapas in the Chicagoland area since 1988 šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ø Emilio’s Tapas is known as ā€œThe Home of Chicago’s Tapas Kingā€.

Opened in 1988 in Hillside Illinois in a time when people didn’t know much about Spain and its food. Chef Emilio Gervilla soon won over the crowds and 36 yrs later he still greets his guests at the door and he can also be seen making his way to the tables to personally thank his guests for joining him. Here at Emilio’s Tapas Restaurants we have become known for our Signature dishes, from our legen

dary Paellas, to our Patatas con Alioli (garlic potato salad) and lets not forget our Datiles con Tocino (bacon wrapped dates). Our menu consists of regional Spanish specialties, original dishes created by Chef Emilio offered in both the dining room and bar for lunch (Friday & Saturday) and dinner daily (Wednesday thru Sunday). The restaurant is casual with spacious dining rooms and an energetic atmosphere accentuated by colorful Spanish murals, music and tiles. Both indoor and patio seating (weather permitting) can be offered during business hours. We welcome you to visit the restaurant. We hope to have you as our guest in the near future.

RosĆ© all day? That’s the plan. šŸŒøšŸ·
Join us on June 10 for a blush-worthy edition of our monthly Flights & Bites pairing experience!
We’re taking a deep dive into the many shades of rosĆ© from Spain and Portugal—from bubbly cava to bold Touriga Nacional and everything pink in between. Think of it as a passport, but with fewer lines and significantly more wine.
And yes, there will be a rosƩ cocktail. Because limiting ourselves to just one form of rosƩ felt unnecessarily responsible.
Also, a friendly public service announcement: rosĆ© is for everyone. If you’ve ever said, ā€œI don’t drink pink wine,ā€ this is your opportunity to be delightfully proven wrong.
Come thirsty. Come hungry. Come prepared to learn exactly how many shades of pink can fit in a wine glass.
We’ll save you a seat—just don’t blame us if your summer wine standards suddenly get much higher. šŸ„‚

RosĆ© all day? Don’t mind if we do. šŸ·ā˜€ļø
Join us on June 10th for a pink-powered edition of our monthly Flights & Bites pairing experience! We’re popping bottles (literally) and pouring our way through the many expressions of rosĆ© from Spain & Portugal — from bubbly cava, to single varietal Touriga Nacional to blends!
Oh, and yes… there will be a rosĆ© cocktail because one form of rosĆ© simply isn’t enough. šŸ˜‰
And let’s clear something up once and for all: rosĆ© is for EVERYONE — not just the ladies.
Come thirsty, come hungry, come ready to blush a little.
