About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Lively

Taking cues from Italy’s storied south, with its famed coasts and islands, rich history, and relaxed lifestyle, Elio Volpe celebrates the best ingredients from the Pacific Northwest as inspired by il Mezzogiorno — the ancient seafaring term for the wind from the south, now colloquially used to describe that part of the country. Above all else, Elio, like its cousin Savio Volpe, celebrates liveliness, warmth and hospitality. Viva la convivialità!

Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 10 pm every night, and for brunch on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays from 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We do our best to accommodate special requests but are unable to guarantee requests for specific tables.

We look forward to breaking bread with you!

I went for my birthday, and they gave me a nice card when I sat down! The servers are so attentive and kind. They really knew the menu and the food came out very quickly. My family and I liked all the food, but we loved the lamb gnocchi the most.

First server was fantastic but his shift ended during our seating. Our second server was completely inattentive, and did not check on us after she took over. Water glasses were empty for over 20 minutes and I had to flag another server for help. Even after that, she did not check on us until we needed the bill, which we also had to flag her down for. As we took a later service, the restaurant was not busy with less than 50% capacity. I’m not sure what she was doing as the other server told her we needed water and she placed priority on bringing another table plates, well before their food was ready. Super disappointing as this was our first time at EV, and had heard amazing things about this restaurant.

Lovely brunch experience with attentive server and luscious food. Unique offerings for brunch and also enjoyed daily special cappuccino and juice. Large plate options are large portions for an individual. French toast and short-ribs were particularly special. Shared small plates of chicken and bacon which were amazing.

Great service, good cozy yet clean ambiance, staff brought us free sparkling for our anniversary that made us feel very special! The pepperonchini pasta is to die for and I’d crawl back on my hands and knees just for the Lambrusco spritz.
