We had a great time at EllaElli! A true neighborhood gem. Great drinks, yummy appetizers/cheese plates, and fantastic main... course options. We had sea bass that was perfectly seasoned (and crispy skin, too: always a bonus). Will gladly return again! Read more
Food was good, portions were sort of small and pricey. Service was pleasant. Averaged about $90 per person. Have had better... for less. Read more
Amazing. Simply amazing. Every dish from every course was exceptional. Great, savory foods, with some unexpected but very... welcome flavors in every dish. Service was great. You could probably spend $25 a person if you ate pretty light. The brusselsprout pizza was literally heaven. Get it. It's a lot of food and it is so good. Read more
It's a cozy yet elegant vibe! Everyone was friendly and personable and very helpful with needed adjustments for dietary needs.... We sat by a fire and loved the ambiance. We ordered a few dishes, including the brussels sprouts, cherry toast, and ricottagnocchi. All were delicious! It's a great place for a little treat with friends or to celebrate something with loved ones. Read more
Had our anniversary dinner here and was impressed by the ambiance and the food. The furniture and decor are beautiful and match... the food. I highly recommend this place. The staff were friendly and professional. I recommend the wagyu and the octopus. Bothdishes were cooked to perfection. We tried the beef tartare, it was good but I couldn’t get pass the thought of eating rawmeat. I would come back here to try other things on the menu. Read more
Great spot for date night, loved the overall vibe. Truly a hidden gem in Lakeview. Out server Kumar had good... recommendations. We started off with mixed charcuterie (cheese and cured meats) followed by Heirloom Carrots. Rosemary Gimletcocktail was so refreshing. For the mains, we ordered the Greek Marinated Chicken and Lamb Scottadito. Both the dishes weredelicious. Ended the night with Profiteroles. Overall a great experience and will definitely be visiting again. Read more
Ella Elli has a very special place in my heart. I only go for the most special of occasions and I am going to pay this most... amazing place a visit next week with my business partner and friend for his birthday. My past experiences have been nothingshort of amazing. As a world traveler who has been to the Mediterranean several times and ten countries total in my endlessvunderlust, Ella Elli is a juggernaut of cuisine. It ranks in my top ten of eateries worldwide and should be world famous bynow. There are only two other restaurants in the states that can even hold a candle to Ella Elli in terms of food andservice. Speaking of service, your waitstaff and hosts always hit all my key points. The hosts always is warm and welcoming,always greeting myself and my parties with elegance and beautiful smiles. The servers always have excellent food, drink anddessert recommendations and keep my water topped off, a key day dining point for me. All the food is so incomparable,extraordinarily so that I cannot pick a favorite; every dish is fresh, visually appealing and most of all, delicious. So inshort, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You shall not be disappointed! Read more
