It's just a short hop across the street to the Civic Opera House, and Emil's packs in the customers on opera nights. (If you're not going to the opera, you should have no trouble walking in and getting a table at 7:30, curtain time.) The menu lists pastas, seafood, and other hearty fare. A comfortable but often smoky bar area is separated from the dining room by low walls.
