Very disappointed. We used to dine at Eli’s a fair bit a few years ago and this was a very different experience. The food was very average and overpriced. My husbands pizza had burnt prosciutto to the point where it was black. The arancini balls we had were quite dry and the risotto I ordered was also burnt on the top. Would not return unfortunately

What a fabulous place. The food is delicious and such generous servings. We had a magician there who came to the table to entertain us which was a great idea. We will definitely be going back.

I went on a very hot Friday night and chose an indoor table hoping to be kept cool but instead found it to be very hot inside with the one aircon unit and one fan from what I could see. We ordered the pesto carbonara which was lovely. We also got a pizza! The amount of toppings on the pizza was fabulous and definitely a selling point for some people depending on their preferences; I would’ve preferred slightly less toppings and a bit more cheese though. Drink selection was great - not overboard and something for everyone! Love that there was a Moscato. An alcoholic ginger beer would’ve been great to see as well. Definitely more of a lowkey lovely neighbourhood Italian!

Always a pleasure to eat at Elios. Food never disappoints. Our waitress Ama was attentive and knew exactly what we needed before we even asked. Looking forward to our next visit.

Have dined here a lot over the years. First time we’ve been since it was sold a couple of months ago and felt it has really lost its appeal. There was a distinct lack of warmth and the ambiance was missing. Our waitress was quite slow and we had to wait a long time before our order was finally taken. Being a Tuesday, there was a magician in attendance. We were there for a total of 1.5hours and he only tended one table in that entire time…very disappointing! The food was still very enjoyable, but unfortunately we won’t be rushing back as it really seemed to have lost its charm and appeal unfortunately.
