Our story
Two chefs, twenty-two years, one small town.
Emily and Jim Matticoli trained in New York City kitchens before opening their café on North Main Street in 2004. Two decades later, they're still here — still cooking with local, seasonal, organic ingredients, still personally answering the phone, and still feeding the weddings, anniversaries, and memorials that matter most to their neighbors.
People are still telling us how much they loved the food. If you're considering Emily's, stop your search and go with them.
