    Had drinks and a pizza here. Cocktails were lovely and the wood-fired pizza crust was crispy. The burrata salami pizza had nice flavors with nothing overwhelming the complimentary flavors. The hot honey was a nice added touch. Service was friendly and the pizza arrived quickly. A good experience!

    Food was excellent and arrived quickly for our party of 5. Mac n cheese and dirty fries were favorites of our group. The sticky toffee waffles made a great dessert! Our only comment for improvement involves the (small) restoom facilities. Singles meant always a line. Overall we loved it and will return for our next pre-concert dinner.

    We have been going to Ella's since it opened several years ago. The food is always well prepared, delicious and served quickly by very lovely servers. We especially like the beet and orange salad and the Di Mare pizza which is made with pesto and shrimp. It's also conveniently located across the street from the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum. We love Ella's!
