Elliott Aster - St. Petersburg
Alex Tedeschi My fiancee and I dine out a bit in all different metros. We happened to be in St Pete for our anniversary and the photos of this place looked amazing.
From reviews, we saw the beauty of this restaurant stood up upon arrival and always elevated the experience. I couldnt agree more!
I saw some reviews mentioning the food was great, but not the best for the price range, I truly disagree.
The boards are made fresh right at the bar in viewpoint of your table. The focaccia was to die for.
We also had the octopus which was charred to perfection with an amazing eggplant puree underneath.
Our waiter, Chris helped us pick the best drinks to start and wine to pair with our entrees. Throughout he was more a friend than a waiter, continuing to elevate our experience.
For entrees my fiancee has the softest and pillow like ricotta gnocchi with pesto. Myself, one of the better filets Ive had thanks to the wood fired grill and brikant wine pairing.
For dessert, olive oil Gelato (always recommended anywhere) and mango sorbet.
If you are in St Pete and are looking for a special dinner you wont forget, make sure to go to Elliot Aster
