While breakfast tries to claim the title, if it was put to a vote, lunch would almost definitely win the award for "Most Important Meal of the Day." The owners of Emilio's of Morris Park agree, and in an effort to make sure their customers have a satisfying and fulfilling mid-day meal, the Bronx-based Italian restaurant is offering one of the top lunch deals in New York. Coined the “Complete Lunch,” you definitely won't want to miss it.

A Guide to Your Favorite Italian Restaurant's Lunch Specials

What Is the Complete Lunch?

The Complete Lunch is special that Emilio's of Morris Park offers during the work week. They offer 12 different combos on their weekday lunch menu, and each meal includes an entree, drink, and salad. Most of the 12 options are Italian cuisine staples, like baked ziti, manicotti, and ravioli, but there are also more Americanized offerings like chicken fingers with buffalo wings and grilled chicken Caesar salad.

The many of the combos come complete with garlic knots, but a few of the options, like the mini hero and the chicken fingers, provide French fries instead. The salad variations are a combination of tossed, garden, or chef salads that are depicted on the menu.

Such variations make it a great choice for group or family lunches, where there are multiple tastes that need to be satisfied. Every Complete Lunch option is available for $9.95, so you can enjoy a mouthwatering meal that's sure to fill you up without breaking the bank.
