WHat a great additional to the Upper West Side, which used to be a place of good but ordinary food of many often ethnic types. Elea is a game changer. I ate there several times outside during COVID and had no idea the inside is so elegant and un-Upper West Side (if you've lived here for a long time you know what I mean--before the bazillionaires moved in). Anyway, a first-rate restaurant in every way, and the noise level is bearable, as opposed to unbearable, as it is in so many nice restaurants. Thanks.
