    We have been customers of Elios for 20 yrs in their various locations. We have been long term loyal customers. A month ago we had very disappointing takeaway but inspite of that bad experience we chose to dine tonight with 4 others on the ‘couples night special’. We have dined in this way many times but tonight not only was the food sub par but at the conclusion of the night we were rudely informed at the register that the ‘couples deal’ was only for 4 people, even though at the time of ordering we stated we would be ordering on the couples deal for 6. Given the quality of the food tonight, the lack of qualification of the deal upon ordering and the attitude when we paid we will not be going back

    Very disappointed. We used to dine at Eli’s a fair bit a few years ago and this was a very different experience. The food was very average and overpriced. My husbands pizza had burnt prosciutto to the point where it was black. The arancini balls we had were quite dry and the risotto I ordered was also burnt on the top. Would not return unfortunately

    What a fabulous place. The food is delicious and such generous servings. We had a magician there who came to the table to entertain us which was a great idea. We will definitely be going back.

    I went on a very hot Friday night and chose an indoor table hoping to be kept cool but instead found it to be very hot inside with the one aircon unit and one fan from what I could see. We ordered the pesto carbonara which was lovely. We also got a pizza! The amount of toppings on the pizza was fabulous and definitely a selling point for some people depending on their preferences; I would’ve preferred slightly less toppings and a bit more cheese though. Drink selection was great - not overboard and something for everyone! Love that there was a Moscato. An alcoholic ginger beer would’ve been great to see as well. Definitely more of a lowkey lovely neighbourhood Italian!
