Fantastic Dinner at Elvira!
I had a fantastic dinner at Elvira tonight. The homemade pasta was delicious, the service was great, and the interior design was the cutest. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Comedy, Wine, and Excellent Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I came for the food, but I stayed for the pure comedy Nick was serving, which might have been enhanced by the two glasses of wine. The service was excellent and very attentive.
I will definitely be coming back with friends and requesting Nick's section.

Mushy Meatballs and Lukewarm Pasta
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The meatballs were mushy, and the pasta dish was only just warm. On the positive side, the service was OK, and the restaurant ambience was good.

Authentic Food, Busy but Worth It
My experience at this restaurant was marked by very good food. It's a very popular place, so the servers can get super busy. I recommend going with good company and enjoying the atmosphere while you wait.
The food is authentic and very good.

Limited Options, Salty Salad, Bad Shrimp
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to limited menu options. I was very hungry and don't eat pork or lamb. The only chicken option was half a chicken or nothing, so I ended up eating a salad with no protein, which was very salty.
My husband shared two of his shrimp from his pasta, but they were also very bad and not tasty at all. This was my last time here.

Charming Italian Gem in OB!
My husband and I recently moved to OB and were drawn to this cute Italian restaurant. We decided to try it out tonight and made reservations on short notice, which I'd recommend to secure your spot. The restaurant itself is incredibly charming, with family recipes originating from Rome, Italy.
The service was super nice, warm, and friendly, and the vibe reminded us of a cozy and warm family home. We both ordered fettuccine dishes – my husband had the fettuccine Ragu and I had the fettuccine maiale – and we both loved our dishes! They were quite filling, so unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, though the cheesecake at the next table looked tempting.
Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and can't wait to make this our regular spot in our new OB home!

Excellent Italian in a Cozy OB Spot
My experience at this restaurant was really excellent. I found it to be a cozy environment and was so happy to have this spot in OB. The food was rated a 5, and the service was also rated a 5.
The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the noise level was described as loud, but still allowing for conversation.

Incredible Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding, largely thanks to our server, Nick V. He was exceptional, and the food was incredible. I would request Nick as a server ten times over!

Spectacular Anniversary Celebration!
What an amazing experience for our anniversary and engagement celebration! Our server, Chris, was exceptional, blowing us away with his spectacular service. He generously treated us to champagne, which truly made our night.
Chris demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the menu, expertly answering all our questions. The food and drinks were spectacular. It was truly an amazing experience, and we can't thank Chris enough.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend!

Excellent Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. The food was outstanding, and even though there was a minor mistake, the server, Chris, reacted immediately and had the dish remade. The service was very friendly and professional.
I can recommend this place to anyone. Chris is a really great guy!
