   The service was personable, close and timely. Our seated table was not optimal. Stuck in a corner with a view of the kitchen entrance when the seating area was empty. The food was delicious and well prepared.

   Absolutely, positively go to Elvira. It's a fabulous, cozy restaurant where you truly feel like you are an invited friend. The space is beautiful and the service is perfect. But the food is always the best part. Who knew that the best pizza in San Diego was at Elvira? I love pizza and honestly have not found any place in the County that makes a better pizza. I also love bucatini amatriciana and, again, no one makes it better. We ordered three entrees and shared them, with the third being the Wednesday night special, which was absolutely incredible. My mother in law (who is a critic of everything) couldn't stop raving about the meal. All three entrees and the special appetizer were as good as Italian food gets in San Diego. I will be back as soon as I possibly can.

   Love the food here and the staff/service is always great. I was looking for a specific pizza I'd had months before, but the menu had been refreshed. They offered to make me the pizza I wanted (off menu), which was so nice. This is always a go-to for delicious and authentic Italian food.

   I have dined here so many times, and each time, I am greeted with so much warmth and treated like royalty by the fabulous team. The service is impeccable and my favorite server, Soleil, remembers all me and my husband’s high maintenance dietary needs before I say anything! The food and cocktails are absolutely delicious and the ambiance is so cozy and funky. Definitely my favorite restaurant in San Diego! Look no further for excellent Italian cuisine.

    Elvira has excellent food, ambience, and service. The prices are a little much and the noise is quite loud.
