   Nestled in the heart of the Hyatt Centric hotel, Ella’s by Christian Petroni is a gem that offers a memorable dining experience. We visited for Sunday brunch and were greeted by the convenience of paid valet parking and an easily accessible parking lot directly across the street. Upon entering the beautifully decorated restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by Savannah, our delightful waitress. Her friendly demeanor and expert suggestions elevated our dining experience. Following her recommendation, we started with the Fried Meatballs – a must-try that left us craving more! For our main courses, we indulged in the Caprese omelette and a single pancake. Each dish was scrumptious, offering generous portions that ensured we couldn’t finish it all. The flavors and presentation were simply top-notch. Ella’s by Christian Petroni is a culinary haven that combines excellent service, mouthwatering dishes, and a charming atmosphere. We highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful brunch experience!

   Service was friendly and efficient. Food was very good. Mozzarella sticks were great. My husband loved his chicken parm and ceasar salad. Love that the salads are served in the old school Italian restaurant bowls. The vodka sauce was quite good as well and the pastas were fresh. Only rec- figure out a way to block off the entry door somehow with a curtain so all of the cold air doesn’t come in every time the door opens or have people enter through the hotel. Probably only matters during the winter.

   Be aware - despite interior design - this is dressed up hotel food. Ordered the tagliatelle - not served hot and just average. Meatballs are fried - small and dry. Not worth $20+. Quick lunch and it was just average.

   Our server was great, we liked our drinks, and the cheese sticks were delicious. We got the chicken parm and the vodka sauce dish. Both of them had “8 hour” sauces on them, but I that made them a bit too thick and pasty. And they were pretty sweet. Some more moisture and salt were definitely needed. The portions were good though.

   Food was amazing! Great atmosphere as well. Champagne bottles out of stock that was a bummer but overall fantastic meal.
