    The pizza is excellent and so are the cocktails. We also love the atmosphere. It was very cozy on a cold winter evening

    Great Italian! Tried the pasta/sauce/ meatballs. Plan to go back to try the pizza. Sangria was good, too. Place was full,or nearly so but I don't recall the noise level being too bad. Can't beat the location, close walk from NW hotels or Cap One Arena. Good service. We would've liked a refill on our drinks but I'm still giving service full marks because we were basically done with our meal anyway. Such a great food experience we will definitely go back again

    We have been going to Ella's since it opened several years ago. The food is always well prepared, delicious and served quickly by very lovely servers. We especially like the beet and orange salad and the Di Mare pizza which is made with pesto and shrimp. It's also conveniently located across the street from the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum. We love Ella's!

    A very busy but very attentive and clean. The service was fast and the food delicious. My only knock was that my wife’s Negroni was weak.
