" When I visited Elro, I was initially taken by the cute decor and inviting atmosphere. The cocktails were unique and well-crafted. Unfortunately, my excitement waned when the food arrived. The pizza was visually appealing but underwhelming in flavor—almost bland. I also ordered the spicy cucumbers, which were a refreshing start. Service was amiable but not overly engaged, as I found myself waving down staff for more drinks. While I see the potential, I felt a bit let down. Perhaps I just chose the wrong items, but I left wishing for more flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elro has a mix of great and disappointing experiences from my recent visit. The environment is charming, it's an intimate little restaurant with lots of character. We started off with bruschetta, and it was a highlight! Fresh, vibrant flavors that really popped. However, the pizza we ordered left us wanting. It didn't have the depth of flavor we anticipated, and the base felt a bit flimsy. The service was commendable; our waitress was very polite and gave us good recommendations. Overall, if you’re in the mood for a cozy spot with promising dishes, it’s worth a visit, but I'd advise choosing wisely off the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elro has the right idea when it comes to creating a delightful dining experience. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, very inviting yet chic. The server was knowledgeable and attentive. The pizza was good, though I felt there was a slight lack of seasoning on some slices. Cocktails were solid, and I appreciated the presentation. If you like charcuterie, theirs is worth ordering as well! Overall, I left with a happy belly and a smile. I will return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Elro for dinner, and I was captivated by the atmosphere as soon as I walked in! The decor is charming, with an elegant touch. We started with their spicy cucumbers, which were tangy and refreshing. As for the pizza, I ordered the guanciale pizza, and it was absolutely delicious! The crust was perfectly thin, and the toppings were generous without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our glasses were always full. Overall, I can say this is definitely a place to return to for authentic Italian fare. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Elro is an experience worth savoring! The aesthetically pleasing decor sets the tone for a delightful meal ahead. I tried their signature cocktail and was pleasantly surprised by how unique the flavors were. The pizza I chose—the mortadella—was exceptional! The dough was made with care, and the combination of flavors was wonderful. I highly suggest grabbing a reservation as it fills up fast. Overall, Elro is a must for anyone craving artisanal pizza in a welcoming atmosphere. " (*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.
