Emil's Italian Restaurant is Lansing's Original House of Pasta. Emil DeMarco's first venture in his new country back in 1921 was a fruit stand, which stood at 2012 E. Michigan Avenue. Later he added an ice cream parlor and soon after was awarded one of the first beer licenses in the State of Michigan.
In 1963 Emil died at the age of 70.
To this day, Emil's is still owned and run my Emil's family. A few changes have been made over the years but one thing still remains the same the quality of the foodis the highest and the service is equally as good.
