   Superb dinner experience. It was loud enough that my newborn daughter was able to babble without intruding on anyone else’s experience, but quiet enough that we were able to spark a conversation with the table next to us. Food was excellent. Service was great. Very fairly priced.

   went for date night with my boyfriend and the service was phenomenal. Booked a reservation for 9:15 and immediately got seated, the ambience felt cozy and homey and the noise level was moderate which was nice so we could both enjoy a nice conversation with wine. I ordered the braised pork shoulder and my partner ordered rigatoni al sushi e ricotta. Would definitely come back for a girls night.

   This was our first time at Elvira and we had 4 of us celebrating a birthday. Food and service were excellent and our server was very knowledgable about the entire menu. We requested the "patio" where the pizza oven is set up. It was very light and bright, and being enclosed it was the perfect temperature. The noise level was high, as the space is small and the music was fairly loud (brassy alternative live rock concert type music, not my favorite but definitely fit the vibe). Tables are close together so that also adds to the noise level. With that said, it is a very fun atmosphere and the pizzas and salads we had were fresh and fantastic. The staff brought out a complimentary birthday ice cream/espresso dessert for my sister in law which was also very good. Elvira continues the incredible standard of excellence they started with Cesarina - GREAT NIGHT.

   We had a lovely dining experience at Elvira's. We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our server, Soleil, offered us a complimentary glass of Prosecco to celebrate the evening which was very sweet. The atmosphere was great and felt like we were in Italy. Everything from the appetizers to dessert were fabulous. I had the daily special pasta and my wife had the Rigatoni Alla Norcina. We saved room for dessert and so glad we did. It was delicious. I highly recommend a visit and we plan on returning. The whole staff was friendly and amazing. Thank you for making our evening special.

   We came to Elvira to celebrate my friends birthday, and it was a great night! They were running 30 min late for our reservation, but brought us drinks to sip on as we waited, which I appreciated. The food was amazing, our waiter was cracking us up the entire time, and the wine selection is really good. They treated us to a dessert for my friends bday, and took a cute Polaroid pic of us to take home. We are excited to go back and try their brunch!

   We came here for our anniversary dinner and had a magical time! The fettuccine dishes were incredible and flavors were amazing. We had an affogato as well and were so happy with it! Service was so warm and welcoming. They create such a transporting atmosphere! Very romantic and fun.
