Every time I come, I order the Gnocchi di Sorrento. The servers don’t even ask anymore. “The usual?” they say and I smile.

We went as a group of six – started with the Charcuterie Board, ended with the Spicy Diavola. No room for dessert, but plenty of room for laughter!

The Salmon Tuna Tartar arrived… colors danced, lemon whispered in the breeze. I said “this can’t be real” but it was.

If you’re at Elia during sunset, sit down with the Lobster Linguini and a glass of Neapolitan Nectar. No need for words the flavor speaks.

The waiter was a little busy but once the Chicken Milanese hit the table, all was forgiven. That arugula salad? Melted my heart.
