   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.

    My recent experience at Elvira was nothing short of incredible — a complete redemption from my last visit! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. The restaurant felt lively yet intimate, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. This time, the food exceeded all expectations. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. It was clear the kitchen put extra care into every plate. Whatever went wrong before was completely forgotten after this visit. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. It’s rare to see a place bounce back so well, but Elvira truly delivered and turned a past disappointment into an unforgettable night. Can’t wait to return! 🍷✨
