The appetizers, entree, and dessert were all timed perfectly. We stayed for a very long time and didn't get rushed at all. The linguine dish was really good. Flavors were on point and nothing was overwhelming on the dish. Very well balanced. The tiramisu was absolutely delish! The vibe of the restaurant was really nice. The decor was simple yet elegant. As it got darker, the candles lit up the room. We were checked on often.

The front host staff was friendly though which was nice. The restaurant itself was freezing inside! My wife politely asked our waiter if they could reduce the AC level and the waiter kind of said he'd look into it but nothing came of that/he ignored it. It was literally freezing in there and I was wearing a jacket! Not a comfortable experience. The Penne alla vodka pasta was pretty mid. They for some reason served it on a wide plate which made it cool a lot faster. It was at no point "hot." The pasta itself was cooked well enough, but the sauce and cheese was nothing special, pretty basic. The salad was also mid. The beets seemed like they were canned and the salad was pretty drenched in a basic dressing. The pizzas overall were better than the salad and pastas, although the Diavola pizza's meat was too acidic and bitter. The pizza Amalfi was a better pizza, had a good balance. Overall, this place wasn't anything special food-wise and the fact that the restaurant was so cold and our waiter was not super friendly just turned us off even more.

We were thankful they had industrial sized fans to help keep everyone cool. We started with the Empanada Trio - DELICIOUS! The cheese one wasn't our favorite but when paired with the other two, it all worked. For drinks we had the Peach Old Fashioned and The Pineapple Forever Young. Both were good and strong. I really loved the Campanella Monterey Mushroom. I added chicken breast for protein. The serving is so big! I took half of it home and ate the rest with with baked salmon. My husband couldn't say enough about the Surf and Turf. He said the flavors were amazing. The steak was tender and delicious and all the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

We ended up at De La Torre's last week after our original birthday dinner plans fell through…read morebecause another downtown restaurant lost power. The experience started off poorly. We arrived around 7:45 PM, with closing at 8:30 PM. The server outside did not seem happy to see us, and once inside there was no greeting or anyone to seat us. I had to go back and ask for a table. Throughout the evening, the owner or hostess also made us feel like our late arrival was an inconvenience. The one bright spot was our server. He was welcoming, never rushed us, and even surprised our daughter with a complimentary birthday dessert after learning we were celebrating. That thoughtful gesture was the highlight of the evening. The food was just average. The capellini was especially disappointing, as it was bland and lacked flavor. Overall, nothing we ordered really stood out. Between the average food and the unwelcoming atmosphere, this is not a place we would return to, despite the excellent service from our server

Then we ordered the Brussels sprouts, blackened chicken rigatoni, chicken parmesan pasta, and bread pudding. We also ordered the lemon drop cocktail. Everything was delicious.

We really enjoy Main St. in Pleasanton and hadn't tried Elia yet so we decided to make a reservation and come here on a Monday evening. This restaurant is gorgeous! It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Our server and service was great- we were checked up on just enough but not too much. Our server was soft spoken, friendly and efficient. I always enjoy working with a server who is professional, courteous and not overly invasive. Not only do I plan on coming back, I'm going to be telling all my friends and family about Elia. Will definitely be doing a birthday or two here in the near future.

Danville can get quite chilly after sunset, especially in the beautiful tree-lined outdoor dining area. During our visit, the restaurant seemed to be managing several large parties at once, and there appeared to be some communication challenges between the host, waitstaff, and bussing team. Better coordination during busy periods would certainly improve the overall service experience. That said, our waiter, Zack, deserves special recognition. Despite the pressure, he and the supporting staff worked tirelessly to provide the best service possible. Zack remained attentive and did his best to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of throughout the evening. It was impressive to see a young server handle such a demanding situation with professionalism and determination. The food was the true highlight of the evening. While the menu is somewhat limited, the dishes are flavorful, authentic, and beautifully presented. You can tell that the chef and kitchen staff take great pride in their work. One of the standout dishes was the pork chop with glazed carrots and peach chutney. The combination of flavors and textures was exceptional--each bite was beautifully balanced and memorable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience celebrating a birthday with friends visiting from out of town. Everyone was impressed by the food and the beautiful ambiance. Despite a few service challenges, the hardworking staff and excellent food made this a memorable evening.
