   The cesar salad, rigatoni, and chicken parmesan was so delicious and perfect to share between two. The drinks were good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance and music selection made the experience so much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

   Chicken Parm was the best! The vodka pasta was okay. Very much over restaurants saying they’ll course out your meal and then all of a sudden you have your table covered in plates and are rushing bc they bring everything out at once. Just makes the meal way less enjoyable.

   Went here to celebrate my 4 year anniversary. I saw this online and heard this was the "Chicago Carbone" and we really like the Carbone in Vegas so we thought to give it a try. The Ambiance was nice, it is pretty dark in there though as the restaurant has dim lighting for a more intimate or romantic vibe. But I would say the restaurant is super small, so reservations add up quick, so i recommend trying to get one in advance and not a day or 2 before just so you get a spot at your preferred time. We were seated a little late about 10-15 minutes. But for drinks, my fiancé got the Italian Mojito which she loved and finished. I on the other hand went with the Rosita(tequila,Campan,Vermouth,Orange), it was very strong...which is good for some people and depending on the night you're having. But it wasn't my favorite drink, and drank half, but everyone's drink preferences may be different. Our Appetizers, we got the Caesar salad with the garlic bread croutons. I thought it was good but not amazing, I still think Carbones is way better...I think it needed more cheese. The croutons weren't the crunchiest which we were both expecting , overall decent salad if you like Caesar it's good. Entrees we got the Chicken Parm 7.5/10 Cherry pepper ribs 8.5/10 honestly one of the best ribs I've had in a while, they were fall off the bone, the flavor was good. That was my favorite thing we ate. And of course we got the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. I would give it a 8/10 it was really good, the pasta was cooked perfectly, I just wish the sauce had more of a spicy ness to it. Service was decent, and pretty attentive, our food came out pretty quick. Restrooms...there's only one restroom I believe for both genders so you do have to wait if someone is in there...kinda a funny looking bathrooms it's really long to get the the toilet from the sink lol. Overall we had a great dinner , a unique restaurant and I heard it's only about 3-4 years old. I've been seeing more stuff in this place o

   Had the most amazing dinner at Elinas for my birthday. The service was incredible from our server and the food was exceptional. We tried many great things like the Vodka Pasta and the Chicken Parm, but will definitely be back soon to try others.

   Absolutely delicious food, great service, lovely ambience. The music was a little loud so quite hard to have a conversation at the table but that’s just our preference! We can’t wait to come back

   We loved the bread and were told no refills as they only make enough for the day-very disappointing. Never had that happen before anywhere. Asked for the steak medium rare and it was more like medium-medium well. Spicy rigatoni was not spicy at all. The food was good, just not great. Would not go back.
