Elia

Elia on the River was the perfect brunch spot located by the Miami River with its lively atmosphere ✨ We started off our Sunday, with the bottomless brunch special that provided a variety of cocktails such as Mimosa, Aperol Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, and more! We also ordered the Velvet Kiss which is an Espresso Martini and this was the fan favorite. Our party agreed that it was one of the best, if not the best, espresso martini we have tried. Paired with our cocktails we tried the Burrata 🍅 with heirloom tomatoes that were really fresh. For our main dishes, we decided to try the NDUJA Pizza which has Ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano, Arugula, & Broccolini. It was definitely an interesting take on a pizza and if you like spice 🌶️ you’ll definitely enjoy this. Additionally, we tried the Spicy

We came to the restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. She found the restaurant on Instagram. This was a very great experience. The servers and staff were extremely nice and helpful! I was very pleased with the food. My first time trying gnocchi. Server recommended the Red Sicilian for a drink and it was very amazing!! Perfect breakfast blend with a hint of spice on the rim. I highly recommend this place.

I visited Elia Restaurant on the Miami River, and overall the experience was spectacular. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The decor is stunning, the view of the river is amazing, and the overall atmosphere — from the people to the music — creates a very vibrant and enjoyable vibe. Our server, John, was outstanding. He provided excellent service, was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Truly top-notch service from him. Regarding management, Moe, the manager, initially approached us in a way that we did not feel very comfortable with. However, to his credit, he later apologized and addressed us in a much more professional and respectful manner, which we appreciated. Despite that initial moment, the experience en

Elia is a great new addition to the Miami River dining scene, with an atmosphere that truly feels very Miami. The vibe is lively and upscale, with a DJ setting the mood and a violinist performing live (watch my videos!) a fun and energetic experience that makes this place stand out, especially for a night out. Let me be clear: this is not authentic Italian cuisine, but the food is still very good and well executed. We ordered two pizzas : the Diavola and the arugula “pizza,” which was more of a flatbread than a traditional pizza. The Diavola had great flavor with a nice kick, while the arugula flatbread was light, fresh, and enjoyable, even if it leaned more toward a flatbread style than classic pizza. We did have a reservation for 8PM, but we weren’t seated until 8:50 PM, which was a bit

VERY GOOD! My friends and I went for lunch. I had Chicken Milanese. It was delicious but was served with a salad instead of pasta which was disappointing. My friends had spicy rigatoni, rustic salad and paglia e fiend. They all loved their entrees as well. The hummus appetizer, bread and pistachio bliss dessert and Hugo spritz were all very good. We wish the menu had more entree options and that the establishment didn't charge $5 for a coke refill and didn't charge for extra servings of bread. Our server was very friendly and nice. It was his first day and he was AWESOME! The staff needs to smile more and give off a more welcoming vibe. The establishment is beautiful!
