   The food and service were great, the restaurant itself is lovely.the wine was delightful. The music was not great and too loud. Recommend surveying the crowd/average age/ vibes before choosing Italian pop music at Christmas.

   We had a great time, the place is super nice and cozy, service is very welcoming, they even made special plates for us. The pastas are amazing sourcing the caccio peppe… e Will be coming back just for it. The pizza we had was not great, probably a but hard on the crust… next time I’d try one if the other pizzas. But over all a great experience

   The experience was as lovely as always. The food is delicious and the service great. The only restaurant that equals it is Cesarine. It was very enjoyable. Sara M.

   Elvira could be described as a well balanced atmosphere providing a heartwarming and subtle touch of classic roman-italian home living with a modern spin.

   Service was excellent! Food was good, even though we all thought the menu was confusing. Everyone at the table got something different and we all tried eachothers and we all loved everything

   Our first experience at Elvira was lovely. My sister and I shared two types of pasta, one with Carbonara sauce, which was divine. The other dish made with bucatini was equally wonderful. Our server was very attentive and made suggestions for appetizers and dessert - caramel custard was our choice. The tables in the patio had heaters, a fireplace and blankets if needed. We were very cozy and warm. I was glad we made reservations as most tables were full on a Sunday night. I highly recommend Elvira for authentic Italian food and great service.

    Two of the best restaurants in San Diego (if not THE two best) are Cesarina and Elvira. Given their differing menus it's becoming almost impossible to say which one is better. The service and ambiance of Elvira are exceptional. The food at Elvira is as good as it gets. We shared the meatballs appetizer and then the Diavola pizza and bucatini pasta and all three (and the Sangiovese) were spectacular. Absolutely, positively do yourself a favor and go to Elvira.
