    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!

    This is by far my favorite restaurant in DC. And the service is amazing. We were sitting at the bar having dinner and they asked us if we would like the tv put on another channel. The garlic bread and the sausage pizza are incredible. I don’t live in DC but I stop here whenever we are near. Plus I always get food to take home too.

    Service was speedy which was important as our post dinner activity was a show at the Capital One Arena. Drinks were tasty and the pizza was superb. 10 inch size is just right for one person.
