Reviews for Elia in Brooklyn, NY
Not sure if it was the owner, but he had a potbelly and tan, male pattern baldness and very sassy accent. pinkish tucked in... shirt. I didnt want to write this until I asked locals and they verified its the owner, which is worse than it being anuntrained manager. My sister in law was allergic to mostly all of the menu, we are group of 3. We already placed an order of$120 dollars of food that night. 2 entrees, 3 appetizers, 3 drinks. We were hungry. After we ordered we asked for extra plateso my sister in law can eat her non contaminated food. Servers smiled and started to help right away. Meanwhile this potbellyguy came over to our small table that really should seat no more than 2 people and complained we were taking up space frompeople who were "all going to order and eat" together. He made the server uncomfortable. We already placed an order for over$120 dollars of food and drinks but still he has the nerve? We over ordered and got more drinks, expresso, sweets since weplanned to celebrate that night, bill coming out close to $200. We didn't let him ruin the night but felt unwelcome the wholetime and rushed so he can try to seat 4 people to our small table. Let's be real, this is NOT an upscale place but he reallywants it to be without doing the work on it. Dont even have a good picture of food, without all of our arms, napkins, squeezedon the small table. CHEAPO AND DISRESPECTFUL. PICTURES SHOW THIS IS A REAL REVIEW. AND FOOD PORTIONS ARE SMALL PLATED babyfood. That greese is all pure CANOLA oil. DRINKS WEAK!! Food service is serivce. We laugh about this memory, this doof. Read more
Best food I've had in ages. Staff was perfect. Thanks!!
We ate there tonight (a slow Wednesday) with a friend we haven't seen in years. The food was mediocre and overpriced, but the... real reason for the 1-star review is the rude manager who, moments after the waiter picked up our check, came over to the tableand asked us to leave because he "had people waiting" - while there were at least 5 empty tables. What a terrible way to treatcustomers, especially after we spent $150 for dinner. I've never experienced anything like it. I won't go back, and hope thisreview saves others the same rude treatment.

Very nice place. Not sure if tablet menu is the right choice for this particular place. I feel like real menu would be better... for the atmosphere. Other than that, the food, service and atmosphere were great. I had grilled shrimps - highly recommend them. Read more
