Elinas - (Near Chicago, IL)

5 /5 Sasha Y: Dark and cozy atmosphere, big portions, aldente home made pasta. The food was great, we tried signature Caesar salad, meatballs, whole sole and pasta bolognese. We aware of big portions and prepare to take left overs home. The atmosphere is nice although the place gets busy and they have to put a limit of time per table. Our waited for nice and take good care of us.

5 /5 Steve Stevens: Elina’s is perfect from service to food to atmosphere it is perfect this is everything you could want in Italian cuisine and it comes with excellent quality service and great pricing we ordered chicken Parmesan pasta alla vodka and cherry pepper ribs everything was phenomenal and the portions were great you can definitely share. the price for everything including drinks and tip for 4 people was $200 I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try it make sure you make reservations walk ins are welcome but hard to get a seat in here for good reason too it’s fantastic check it out!

5 /5 Amanda Jiang: The rigatoni alla vodka, mozzarella en carozza, and the frito misto are so good here! Everything was really filling. The free bread appetizer is also really nice, it comes with salami and what I believe is pickled eggplant.

4 /5 Laura Chapman: I would say the experience was good wasn’t like over the moon but it was there, it’s simple and cute on the inside just super small…so it’s as if we’re having everyone next to each other at a family gathering besides nobody knows anyone yet you hear is their conversations lol. old school music which is always a classic, only kinda thing that threw me off is that the bread that comes out before entree’s had a taste of shrimp to it or some kind of fishy taste definitely. It kinda threw me off it just feels they cook it so near in the oven that the taste transfers over…besides that it was very tasty, I want to come back and try other items I hope down the line this business can take movement elsewhere to a bigger location!

5 /5 Jessica M: Delicious! You gotta come here with at least 3-4 people. The plates are quite generous. My favorite part of the experience were the ribs! The meat was falling off the bones and the ribs themselves were huge. The sauce all runs to the bottom of the pan they’re served in so make sure you get to pour some of that sauce back on your ribs to elevate the taste. The Caesar salad was also sublime. Their bread service is n/c and you’re given a generous amount and also given two different types of bread. Last but not least, the angel hair crab pasta. It needed a little more lemon for my liking, but I made sure I ordered some on the side. Our server / bar manager was such a vibe as well! Very patient, descriptive and friendly.
