Top tier food and patio! This is the ultimate summer time spot!

I tried salad and pasta. Food was nice and fresh.

Food was mid. The chicken ricotta pizza was not good. Service was weird- took a long time. Beautiful patio tho.

The patio was gorgeous, and the service was good. I found the prices kind of inconsistent in that there were some things that felt very overpriced and some that felt very reasonable. I had a reservation and we still had to wait over 20 minutes for a table, which was frustrating. Expect to walk a ways, as parking is scarce.

Edera is undeniably beautiful. From the airy interior to the ivy-covered courtyard, it’s giving “elevated brunch with your chicest friends” energy. It’s a vibe — and I wanted to love everything about it.
But… looks aren’t everything.
The service was just okay. Our server seemed like they were over it before we even ordered, and that kind of energy definitely impacts the experience — especially when you’re with a large, lively group.
The food? Inconsistent. The waffles with whipped cream were a total win (fluffy, sweet, and worth every bite). But other dishes were forgettable and didn’t match the level of the space or the pricing.
Would I go back? Sure — mostly for the aesthetics and to sip a cocktail on that dreamy patio. But I’ll be hoping for a friendlier vibe and more reliable kitchen performance next time.
📍If you’re planning a visit, request patio seating if the weather’s nice — it really is the star of the show.

Wow, were they just off of their game tonight or what? This was an awful experience at a restaurant that we had never been to before. We had reservations but our table wasn’t ready. We went to the bar and the bartender seemed overwhelmed. The waitress walked up, quickly introduced herself and the next thing out of her mouth was “are you ready to order”? There were zero soft skills or “do you have any questions, etc.”. Next, the guy that came to take our plates after our appetizer said something along the lines of “why don’t you grab your forks”. I responded “why don’t you bring us new forks”? I felt like I was at a BBQ restaurant. The service was atrocious! My food wasn’t any better. I ordered the scallops. The dish itself wasn’t too salty but the scallops were completely inedible. I asked my husband to try them and he concurred. I let the waitress know and she was just like “okay, I will let the chef know”. Great, thanks! Doesn’t matter, I won’t be going back there. Nice ambiance but the service and the food was terrible.

The filled pasta was very disappointing unfortunately. It was swimming in a brown sauce/gravy that tasted and smelled strongly of smoke. Not a pleasant smoke, but like artificial smoke flavoring. The pasta was also hard. Felt like chewing cartilage. Undercooked I think, but hard to tell through the lake of artificial smoke gravy. The other food might be good. Maybe it was an off night. I would give them a second chance but I would not try that dish again.

For the second year in a row, we reserved an outdoor chalet for dinner. We love the private dining experience and the twinkle lights and exceptional food and drink are always wonderful. We loved the arancini and Quattro formaggio pizza this time - and the Manhattans went down so smoothly. This is a splurge - but always a fantastic experience ! We will be back

The food and drinks at Edera Italian eatery was top notch. We were there to celebrate a girl friend's birthday. They had quite a good selection of vegetarian options on their menu. We ended up getting the cauliflower, squash and burrarta and wrapped up with a couple of wood fired pizzas.. and it for sure hit the mark. Next time we want to check out their outdoor gazebo seating !
Emily the bartender was amazing! She made the best drinks and had great conversation!

I really, really enjoyed our server, he was fantastic; very knowledgeable and friendly, without being overbearing. Unfortunately I wasn’t a big fan of the food. I got the bolognese and really didn’t enjoy the ragu. I can’t explain it, but it just had an off taste that I didn’t love, and the dish I received looks very different from other pictures of it online (the sauce was a lot thinner than the bolognese I see in other pictures). The person I was eating with got a pasta with scallops, and I personally thought it tasted bad. The scallops tasted overcooked and the pasta had a burnt flavor. It’s just a bit weird because the service and atmosphere are wonderful, but the food unfortunately did not match.

Cool vibe, good drinks, but I was not a fan of the food at all. Small portions for the price and SO salty.

We've been to Edera several times and always loved the pasta and pizza. We just did the winter chalet, which I highly recommend. Very intimate and comfortable setting. The wait staff was great. We had the Arancini appetizer and it was excellent. I was let down by the cacio e pepe though. The noodles were very undercooked. The fig pizza was good. I would definitely recommend the amaretto tort. Cocktails and wine were excellent.
