- RRayLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoElephante in Santa Monica never disappoints! We had an incredible date night here, enjoying both the beautiful ambiance and top-tier service. We started with the tuna tartare and calamari, both fresh and perfectly seasoned. For mains, we shared the ribeye and the pasta with lobster, which were absolutely outstanding—the steak was cooked to perfection, and the pasta was rich and flavorful. To top it off, our drinks were spot-on. The vodka martini was crisp and smooth, the Old Fashioned wasn’t that strong and was a too sweet. A huge shoutout to Andrea, our server, who made our experience even better! She was warm, attentive, and made great recommendations. It’s always nice to be welcomed by someone who truly cares about the guests. Elephante is hands down one of the best spots in Santa Monica for a romantic night out. Can’t wait to come back.More infoÉlephante Santa MonicaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Monica•4.6
