Elva

Went in around closing time and the kitchen staff was incredibly nice to still accept us in. There was no vegetarian pasta in the menu, which was a bit disappointing at first, but when I asked the waiter, he said the chef could make something for me, which I really appreciated. I had a delicious pasta with tomato sauce and burrata! The portions were good. Again, great service.

We three Melbourne girls (in our 50’s) were in Sydney for a couple of nights last weekend. We happened upon Elva and were blown away by the professionalism of the wait staff, the sophisticated atmosphere and the outstanding food. We had a booking elsewhere the following evening but ended up just having pre dinner drinks before making our way back to Elva! And boy we were glad we did. We tried almost everything we hadn’t on our first night (it’s a small menu) and again, were blown away. Can’t wait to get back there!!

Good service and delicious food. The roasted artichokes and baked cacciotella are great to share, but are so tasty, you will want to keep them all for yourself! Our greens concisted entirely of snow peas (maybe they were out of beans and spring onions), but we hardly ever get snow peas, so that was perfect. The rib eye was served in two pieces, so my wife and I were able to have one piece each. It was cooked rare as requested and was soft, juicy and tasty. The rigatoni con ragu was not up to the same excellent standards as the rest of the food and the restaurant was quite noisy, but apart from that, I'd highly recommend it to others.
