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!

    Great food as always. Lamb rags, cacio e pepe, margherita pizza. Sat right near the door and kitchen which was actually quieter than in the back - a welcome difference. Service knowledgeable and prompt.

    Best arancini ever. Bransino too. I booked long in advance and requested a corner and we didn’t get it but also it wasn’t mentioned so I’m not sure they noticed the request. Only glitch in a perfect dining experience.

    Went there for brunch and this time we sat near the front section of the restaurant which isn’t as noisy as the back. Food is very good and excellent service. I have been there for dinner and brunch now. In general I find the food items on the menu are priced higher compared to other restaurants in town that serve similar items. The crab and shrimp bowl is $36 which is probably one of the more expensive brunch items (yes knowing it is tiger prawns and Dungeness crab meat). Liege waffle is $8; considering premium waffle maker like Nero, their mini waffles are priced at $3.8 each.

    Today we got to enjoy brunch at the bar counter, usually we sit at a table, and it was an absolute delight. Made conversation with my teen easier and allowed us to engage more so since we were seated side by side. Our server Kat was lovely, attentive and professional. There is a reason we keep coming back :)

    Asian girl at the bar was great, full of info about the drinks and our server was the same. Didn't have to yell at each other as noise level was good. Food was shared fresh & good tasting.
