" My family and I visited Elro and were blown away by the charming yet cozy setup. The cocktails were refreshing and innovative! We started with the spicy cucumbers and the bruschetta, both of which were a great start to the meal. For the main course, we dug into guanciale pizza, and it did not disappoint! Despite the tight seating, we still had a lovely time with excellent service. This restaurant is surely a place I will recommend to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Elro was unforgettable! The hospitality was top-notch from the moment we entered. The menu may be limited, but everything we tried was stellar. We loved the mushroom pizza and the arancini. Both were bursting with flavor, and the server was eager to make recommendations based on our preferences. Moreover, the ambiance was cozy with soft lighting that made for a perfect date night. Just a heads up, the seating is tight on busy nights, so booking a reservation is wise. We'll be back for sure, perhaps with a larger group next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard about Elro from friends, I was excited to try the restaurant. The drinks didn't disappoint, hands down some of the best cocktails I've experienced! However, I felt the food could have been better. The guanciale pizza was crispy, but the flavor was mellow. I hoped for a richer taste after all the rave reviews. The setting was unique though, and the service was very good. I appreciated the creative touches in both decor and menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Elro with high expectations after hearing so much praise. I mean, the photos on social media looked fantastic! Yes, the service was wonderful, and the ambiance is indeed cozy, but the food itself, while tasty, did not blow me away. The highlight of the meal was the soft-serve dessert, which had an interesting twist, while the pizzas were just okay to my palate. I think my expectations were too high; it’s solid but not as mind-blowing as I hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Elro recently and while I had high expectations, I found the food to be a bit hit or miss. The highlight of the meal was the fresh oysters, which were wonderfully prepared. However, I was less impressed with my pizza, as the dough was slightly soggy and lacked the crispy texture I love in an Italian pizza. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which slightly dampened our experience. I think there’s potential for greatness here, but I’d recommend sticking to the seafood offerings next time. Overall, a decent meal but nothing that absolutely blew me away. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had an amazing time at Elro. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile from the hostess. We decided to sit outside and enjoyed the lovely evening air. The cocktails we ordered were unique and refreshing! For our meals, we shared a variety of pizzas. Each one brought its own unique twist on traditional favorites. I particularly loved the truffle mushroom pizza, which was decadent without being overwhelming. The only downside was the wait for food; it took longer than expected but worth it in the end. Elro is definitely a gem for Italian cuisine lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about my last dining experience at Elro! From start to finish, it was fabulous. The restaurant was full of personality, cozy yet elegant. I ordered the Pacific bass with Thai curry and was blown away by the flavor. I can honestly say it was one of the best dishes I've had in a long time! I also enjoyed the drink specials, which added a fun twist to our meal. The service team was attentive but gave us the space to enjoy our evening. I will be making this a regular spot for sure.
