    We have been going to Ella's since it opened several years ago. The food is always well prepared, delicious and served quickly by very lovely servers. We especially like the beet and orange salad and the Di Mare pizza which is made with pesto and shrimp. It's also conveniently located across the street from the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum. We love Ella's!

    A very busy but very attentive and clean. The service was fast and the food delicious. My only knock was that my wife’s Negroni was weak.

    We had an excellent experience at Ella's Wood Fired Kitchen! Our seating was right on time according to our reservation, and the service was impressively quick—our food arrived in under ten minutes, which was perfect as we needed to make it to a show. The staff was responsive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without delay. The food was delicious, and we were very happy with our visit. Highly recommend Ella's for anyone looking for great food and fantastic service!

    Portion size perfect. Cocktails tasty and generously poured. Caught dinner with the restaurant full of guests in Capitals jerseys, so we grabbed last minute tickets and went to the game!
