Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: You'll find the ultimate versions of old-school red-sauce favorites like rigatoni a la vodka and dover sole piccata at Elina's, thanks to veterans of MICHELIN-Starred spots like New York City’s Restaurant Marc Forgione. The inviting West Town joint serves these classics in a cozy, brick-walled dining room or on the lush, Amalfi Coast-inspired patio.

    Love the ambience of the restaurant, it’s small and cozy (tables were extremely close to each other though). Pasta and chicken parm were delicious, and service was also great and super nice. Highly recommend!
