Love this spot. Probably in my top 2-3 favorite Italian restaurants in the city. Service was great. Great vibe inside and on the patio. Food was delicious. Has the taste of Carbone in Vegas in a more laid back environment.

Elina’s has fantastic, moody, intimate atmosphere with dishes that really shine with bold flavors. The only downside is that the space is quite tight at the tables, which some folks may really not enjoy.

Really wanted to love Elina’s Had my eye on this place for a year. The atmosphere is great, but the food was lackluster. Not worth the hype and exclusive seating. Took my friend for a bday dinner and we were both disappointed. We got the Fritto Misto, Baked Clams, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, Chicken Parm and Italian Fries! Would recommend trying Elina’s during a different season or different items than we ordered.

We have been to Elina’s several times, but were in for a group dining reservation last Friday. The ambiance, food, and experience were all exceptional. The price for a family style, price fixe menu felt reasonable. All of the food was spectacular, especially the rigatoni in vodka sauce and the eggplant parm. The staff was warm and accomodating – we had a few unforeseen changes to our reservation and they were very understanding. Highly recommend for a group experience!

Very interesting and unique concept. Laid back Diner style vibes with classic Italian dishes but elevated. All the food was delicious (pastas made perfectly and the bread was amazing) and portions were large which left us taking a bunch home (bonus value points!). Wines were good and even had one of the frozen cocktails which was solid. Service was very good and attentive (sat at the bar). Would certainly recommend for any occasion.

Had the best date night here. Atmosphere is cozy and cute, made even better by the Frank Sinatra playing.

Spicy vodka rigatoni was lovely. Great summer patio. Only complaint is the server was slightly rude.

It’s the best the interior is smaller size but super cool funky design- love the Tony Soprano memorial in the back before the patio entrance. We sat both inside and on their patio which is spacious and a great option in the summer. The food is outrageously good and clearly is a connection to Italy’s roots. I would say Sicilian for my best guess the chopped salad, eggplant Parmesan, chicken Parmesan, and rigatoni are all incredible. Have not tried the mozzarella frito or ribs. Also love the pizza bread and high end salami they serve 2 start.

Overall, everything was amazing. We started with the bread, salami and marinated eggplant that each table receives and then had the chopped salad and frito misto. Both…amazing. We ordered the pasta with vodka sauce and the chicken parm. The chicken parm was comparable to the one from Becco NYC (amazing). The rigatoni with vodka tasted like it lacked salt water. It was okay, but I prefer more flavor. Overall, a great choice.
