Reviews for Elo's Italian in Alexandria, VA
The meatball appetizer with polenta & tomato sauce was excellent! This restaurant uses a superior quality of (lean) beef & veal... to make their marvelous mearballs! Read more
Just stopped in at the end of a long bike ride, mostly for water, not realizing what time it was; 2:28, and they close for the... afternoon at 2:30. But they graciously let me stay for several waters and some Arancinis. Very tasty, cool atmosphere, greatservice. Will be back for a real meal. Thanks!! Read more
Great food, great service! We had the Burrata Cheese as an appetizer, and then the Seafood Stew and Ricotta Cavatelli. The... Cavatelli was INCREDIBLE!! We had the Strawberry Almond cake for dessert. Should note they are cashless. Read more
Stumbled upon this gem and definitely coming back. This family oriented business was fantastic and worth every penny. Italian... cuisine was authentic and every bite was worthwhile. 12/10 would definitely recommend. ???????????? Read more
We were impressed with the lovely environment and fast service. This cute restaurant housed the pop-up Elo's when we were there.... The set up is an order through the app, no wait staff - which was a different dynamic for such an expensive place. The foodportion to cost ratio wasn't worth it, though it tasted good. The menu was limited as well, not a lot of variety to choose from.Overall, nothing to complain about other than price point for what you got. You can find just as good Italian food for a betterprice and at an equally as good restaurant pretty close by.... We doubt we will be back. Read more
In August 2020, we visited this restaurant and ordered the carryout special and ate it on the very pleasant outdoor terrace. The... food was delicious We have been to this restaurant three additional times once for brunch and twice for supper. We liked themain courses we ordered. My husband enjoyed the seafood pasta. I had the hanger steak. Enormous portion. Desserts were delicioustoo. Read more
Blueberry Buckle! I love their unique spin on southern cuisine, serving amazing comfort food. Come for their distinct cocktails,... intricate desserts, or just great food. They seem to be locally-famous for their desserts so save room... their Blueberry Buckle& Bread Pudding are delicious! We were blown away at how great their food and cocktails were. We ordered the Manhattan &"Tito’s Cocktail On Tap" (similar to an apple cider martini, but much better). And a southern dinner is not complete withoutChicken & Waffles, by far the best version of this famous dish we have ever had. For brunch, we savored every bite of their"Fried Chicken & Buttermilk Biscuit", much better than what grandma makes! This is truly southern comfort at its finest. Buckle(dessert): "an early American form of coffee cake, usually baked with fresh fruit." Read more
We really liked it. Our group had six entrees and three appetizers and drinks, and everything was delicious! And the cocktails... were too! The risotto was our favorite, very flavorful! The service was lacking just a bit, hate ordering on my phone and alsothe server didn't know what the monthly drink special was even though the menu specifically said to ask the server, stuff likethat. But overall the food was good and we'd go back. Read more
