Incredible tasting menu this evening! Every dish was a *banger*. The most memorable bites tonight were the polenta fritters, gnudi, pork chop & stracciatella. The chicken parm is a show stopper. The dessert was a chocolate tart served on a plate of olive oil that blew my mind. Also the tasting menu had insanely generous portions!!!
Great food and loved sitting at the counter. Amazing what this small space delivers!

Known as a small BYOB Italian spot, it features creative dishes, intimate seating, and outstanding service that makes it a truly special place. The chef is accommodating and willing to modify dishes to meet dietary needs, including gluten-free and pescatarian options. The staff is knowledgeable and kind, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. Recent customers have praised the food and service as exceptional, highlighting starters like prosciutto, focaccia, and marinated tomatoes. The Spaghetti pomodoro and clam linguine were also noted for their perfect cooking and freshness. With its passion-driven cuisine, carefully thought-out menu, and exceptional service, Elma is a must-visit destination for a memorable dinner.
