I really love ordering from this place. Just don’t order a sundae from online delivery, they always add random stuff in it

A restaurant that carries the typical« Upper-east » restaurant, ambiance is great !! Food is Ok but probably not realized by Italia s and very salted. Desserts were mediocre.

I can truly say that this restaurant is the WORST restaurant I have ever experienced in my LIFE. Me and 3 friends were treated so disrespectfully by our server Stan. He spoke to us like we were children, degraded us and refused to help us understand the bill. Told us that "in America they do not split bills or bring debit machines to the table to have you pay with your card". We were visiting from Canada and had mentioned this to him. The entire restaurant was male ran. All male servers (about 18 of them which was super odd since the restaurant was basically empty and it is a tiny place) just standing around looking at everyone. All male cooking staff, bus boys, bar. Not a single female worked here. We were the only all female table in there. We were charged for a pasta that we did not ask for and when asked why it was on the bill was again degraded and talked to like we were stupid and not believed. At one point Stan told us that we do not know the way things work in this country or city, telling us he had lived there for 24 years and never once has he been to a restaurant where they have brought a debit machine to the table. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 20+ years in large cities and I have NEVER in my life seen or experienced anyone treated so poorly as a customer. The food was terrible, soggy chicken, bland pasta. We were starving and would have let that go if we were not completely demeaned and abused my this sexist, narcissistic man. We left ZERO tip and were in complete shock when we left.

Please go to any other Italian restaurant on the upper east side. The food was extremely overpriced and nothing special. The drinks were insanely priced and deceptive. We felt like we got ripped off. We ordered a glass of wine from the bar because there were no glasses or prices on the menu assuming it would be your typical $15-20– we were charged $40 for ONE GLASS. We could have ordered a bottle for that price. The service was fine but rushed. We were in an out in less than 1 hr. We were given the bill and incorrectly billed for something we didn’t order. Felt intentional and sneaky. Super disappointed by the whole experience.

This might be my favorite restaurant in NYC. I’ve been here 3 times in the past month and each visit is better than the last.
I love starting off with a salad or the beef carpaccio or the mussels. Then for mains, the best things to order are the steak and the PEA PASTA (I forgot what it’s called). Any pasta you get will be delicious—lasagna (Sundays only), penne ala vodka, or the vongole. Don’t miss out on their dessert! Our faves were the chocolate lava cake and the cheesecake 🤍
We loved pairing our meal with a glass of Cabarnet or even their espresso martini’s! A special shout out as well to Manny, our waiter every time we visited. He was one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back! Thank you for the great service and food!

Noise level equal to major rock concert. Ripped off at bar, but missed double charge too late. Hurried service, out after 45 minutes for 2 people. Have no plans to ever return

Terrific Restaurant
I totally enjoyed my dinner. The food was great. Large portions and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Loved Elio's, we discovered it on a holiday, so good we went twice in a week, lovely old time NY vibe to the place, food and drinks are great (especially their Fried Zucchini, Calamari, Vongole & Manhattans) but even better are the staff, really attentive, especially the maître d, head waiter and barman, they were really warm and welcoming with a great NY sense of humour, Elios has a real buzz to it no wonder all the celebs go there to. The highlight of our trip to New York!
Good food and very nice Waiter and employees nice ! White clam sauce and linguini good, not enough pasta but good ??

My family and I have been patrons for years and the food is constantly delicious. Fresh pasta, mouth watering sauces. I’m also obsessed with their melt in your mouth fish dishes. It’s loud, it’s cozy, it’s a classic NYC Italian restaurant!
