Amazing Italian dishes! Second time here, partner and I strive to visit when ever we're in San Diego. Great date night restaurant. Staff is friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend, we've been back already read more

We were originally planning to eat at Little Italy, but after hearing so many people recommend Elvira as one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is beautiful. It feels like a renovated home that's been transformed into a cozy dining space, and the décor is thoughtfully done throughout. Even the plates and serving ware were charming and added to the overall experience. The food was very good, and the portions were generous. We ended up completely stuffed and couldn't finish everything, which was a bit of a bummer because we had been hoping to try dessert. The cocktails were also creative and unique, making for a fun addition to the meal. Service was fine--friendly enough, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the ambiance was the highlight for me, paired with solid food and generous portions. If you're looking for a cozy Italian spot in San Diego, Elvira is definitely worth a visit. read more

Where do I even start? From the moment you walk in you feel at home. The ambience is homey and cozy, yet well thought out and tasteful. Definitely gives the vibe of eating at nonna's house. Our waitress, Camila, was so sweet. We were celebrating our anniversary and everyone was so nice and definitely made it feel special. They started with a little Dutch oven filled with bread and a sauce. We ordered a bottle of the fragolino and it was perfect - a little sweet and not too strong. We ordered the special which was like a potato and cheese croquette with a side of bone marrow. I love bone marrow and my husband was pleasantly surprised, since he'd never had it before. I ordered the hangar steak which came with a charred romaine wedge that's dressed and some spicy broccolini. My husband got the rigatoni with the mushrooms and it was mind blowing. We split the crème caramel which was like flan. It was okay, not my favorite but that's a texture thing for me. The toasted nuts and sauce that came with it was great. Overall, a wonderful spot in an unassuming location. We loved it so much we brought my mother-in-law when she was in town visiting and she too left raving reviews. read more

Very good food, excellent service; the experience is similar to dining in someone's house, if that's your thing (it's definitely my thing). The appetizers were not as tasty as the entrees - I would take a pass on them all if I were to go back (especially the eggplant parm sticks - those were a heavy/breaded nope for me). The exception: the mussels and clams - those are a must. We loved the drama of the baked dough lid/the presentation at the table, and the taste of both the seafood and the bread - so good! Pizza was pretty good; they claim it's their speciality. The crust was not as fermented as I would prefer, but the texture was nice. We should have ordered one with fewer toppings though, to get a real sense of it. Next time. Pasta, also serviceable - I would say Cesarina (their sister restaurant) is better on that front. The whole fish (orata) was terrific. We ordered the frittelle to share for dessert - little donuts fried to order,with raspberry cream and chocolate sauce. What's not to love? read more

Really love the beef carpaccio. It was really flavorful and bone marrow spread on top was a pleasant surprise. I've had many carpaccios but never had it with bone marrow. The potato that it is served with was also very delicious. But the dish as a whole can feel a little heavy. Pasta was pretty good too. I usually prefer white sauce pasta but I actually liked the tomato one more. Rigatoni alla norcina is their most popular pasta but I thought it lacked a bit of flavor but the texture was really nice. Im not a big drinker but my friend ordered their fragolone bc the ingredients sounded very interesting but we both thought it was really weak on the alc and just tasted more like a fruity cocktail n nothing too special. Service was excellent and the vibe of the restaurant was super cute and cozy I loved it. read more

I had an amazing time dining here with for a team dinner! It's a homey restaurant in Ocean Beach! It was a tight fit but we made it work with 23 people. Their interior decor and cutlery was so authentic with the family portraits all over, ceramic plates, and friendly service. We had a set menu with appetizers, entrees, and desserts! The appetizer was a plate of bread, eggplant and tomatoes, and a charcuterie platter of meats and cheese. The roasted eggplant and tomatoes were so juicy, savory, and delicious. So easy to cut through and paired well with the bread. I loved their burrata since it was chilled and melted nicely with the warm bread. Our mains were carbonara, pizza, and rigatoni. The pizza was so crunchy, crispy, and mouthwatering. But, the main highlights were the pasta. The rigatoni had a beautiful color of orange, red, and white from the sauce and ricotta. Aromatic scents and delicious texture. The carbonara was my absolute favorite! Amazing sauce and the cracked black pepper added a crunch taste to the dish. Desserts were fried donuts and cheesecake. The fried donuts were so fun to eat because it's a make your own. Our waitress demoed how to fill up the donuts with a piping bag. Great flavors from the chocolate and raspberry chantilly cream icing. I loved the cheesecake since it had a great mildly burnt taste and paired well with ice cream and raspberry sauce. Excellent dining experience! read more

I really thought this would be more impressive but honestly the flavors were just lacking. As a table we ordered the RIGATONI AL SUGO E RICOTTA, RIGATONI ALLA CARBONARA & FETTUCINE AL RAGU DI AGNELLO E PORCINI. They all just tasted so lackluster, and heavy. The lamb ragu was so buttery even though lamb is already fatty and it just overpowered it. I think there's a better date night option for Italian in San Diego worth visiting. read more

Ciao ragazzi, My good friend and I met for dinner on Monday night at 6pm. I love Cesarina, and I was excited to finally enjoy a meal at Elvira. We ordered: Misticanza Estiva Salad - It was fine. Nothing special. Greens were a little wilted. Suppli - Delicious! Crispy, cheesy & the carbonara sauce was divine. If you like arancini, you will love these!! Parmigiana Pizza (eggplant) - Delicious pizza. Perfection! I took three slices home. Paccheri Puttanesca e Baccala - The pasta is sort of like large flat rigatoni. Very tasty. The cod went well with the sauce & pasta. Sauce is on the salty side due to the olives. Simple & delicious. Crème Caramel - I mean, Could there be a better ending to such a nice dinner? I loved the crunchy hazelnuts. This dessert is definitely big enough for two or three people to share. The food, by and large, was simply prepared and solid. The ambiance for the restaurant is very cute & charming. There is a cool greenhouse dining room that seats 13, and a quaint space called the Elvira room that seats six. So much thought was put into the ambiance & decor. One thing that was a miss for me is the chipped plates. I get that, "Nonna is a little clumsy in the kitchen," but chipped dishware is just something that I do not like to see in any restaurant because it takes away from the overall aesthetic. I don't have chipped plates at home... why would I want to pay big $$ to eat on them? The service was attentive and helpful. The restaurant has a small parking lot, and you can also park at Robb Field next door. Grazie Mille. read more

QUICK TAKE// POV eating your grandma's delicious home cooking in her kitchen! FOOD + SERVICE// As a first timer with a group of friends, we wanted the works of whatever was recommended. All the options were really great recommendations: COZZE E VONGOLE AL FORNO A LEGNA or steamed mussels was actually what stole the show with their pizza dough dome cooked on top to seal in the steam. We literally ate the sauce dry with ENDLESS FOCACCIA BREAD. The RIGATONI ALLA NORCINA pasta is actually some of the best pasta I've ever had. The umami flavor was unreal. Just a bit expensive for a pasta, but the flavor makes up for it. Finally, I loved the SUPER ARRABBIATA pizza - very fun flavors and a very well made pizza crust. We did also get the FETTUCCINE MAIALE E SPUNTATURE as well but we felt like this was the least appealing of our orders. While still objectively good, in comparison to the range of flavors we were getting already, this dish was forgettable for us. It was really busy for a Monday night when we went and we were seated in a corner so it was at times hard to get the waiters attention and we did have to repeat requests for waters at times. VIBES// So lively! The decor is very cool to look at. I would love to try dining at the different areas of the restaurant because they looked themed. read more

Elvira is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in San Diego. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is genuinely friendly and fun, and every dish we've ordered has been outstanding. We usually ask our server for recommendations and they're always so helpful. You can tell there's a lot of care put into both the food and the overall experience. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again, and one I'll happily recommend to anyone looking for exceptional Italian food. read more

We sat at the bar since it was a last minute thing to get a bite to eat. We shared the diavola pizza and polpette di nonnona. The pizza was spicy and personal sized and came with two red peppers on top! I chose the pepe & lavanda mocktail, which was very refreshing. We also tried the salted raspberry and chamomile zero proof glass of wine. It was very fruity! We saved room for dessert and tried the fritelle di nonna, which came with raspberry chantilly cream and warm chocolate sauce. I liked that we were able to fill the dough with the cream! read more

Great food, drinks, and service. They did a great job with the decor and ambiance too! Highly recommend.

With the success of Cesarina, the owners opened this restaurant located in Ocean Beach and dedicated it by naming it after the matriarch of his family Elvira. Although this restaurant has opened less than 2 years ago, I've only dined here a couple of times after a day trip after the beach. Parking is available in their lot but also at the lot next to the park/play field this restaurant is next to. The restaurant is has indoor and outdoor seating, it's casual and the menu offers seasonal selections. Upon review of the menu, most of the selections included pork which I don't eat. On one occasion I chose Tonnarelli Allo Scoglio Giallo which had clams, mussels, prawns, cherry tomatoes in a garlic white wine sauce...presentation was spectacular but the flavors in the pasta were rather bland. On another visit, I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana pizza, which I took pictures of and boxed it togo to enjoy while watching the Milan Cortena Winter Olympics. This pizza was good however I did detect a taste of pork. The pizza was meatless but I believe there might have been a case of cross contamination of ingredients ie pork oils seasoned in the pizza pans that transferred into my pizza :( the porky taste made me nauseous sadly I couldn't eat the pizza. While I liked Elvira restaurant's ambiance, the staff: from the hostess, servers and the general manager were all so accommodating attentive and nice, but the food selections didn't seem to meet my dining preference so I probably will pass on future visits. I know I am not alone with my food preference, so I hope this review will encourage the restaurant owners to include more seafood selections on the menu because after all, we are in San Diego and this restaurant is blocks away from the beach, so it makes sense to have more seafood on the menu. I will continue dining at its iconic sibling restaurant Cesarina. If you're not allergic to Italian foods with pork perhaps you would enjoy Elvira. read more

TikTok: m.Albright IG: rs.Albright I forgot what the pizza was called but it's the spicy one & the pasta was the rigatoni al Sugo with the side of meatballs. The pasta is my favorite since it's made from fresh pasta and you can tell! The sauce is just as amazing too. Definitely a solid choice when coming here. We get this pizza every time too. It has a kick to it for sure & definitely filling for both of us. I would suggest making reservations and getting here early because parking is very difficult.

4.5/5. This place has a very cute vibe, and it's a great date spot. We've been twice, and sat once at the bar, and once in the room off to the right. I'd recommend they dim the lights a bit in that room, but it was comfy enough otherwise. Just like at their sister restaurant, Cesarina, the service is really great at Elvira too. The free bread is delicious. I don't think the food at Elvira is quite as amazing. It's still delicious, though- and better than most of what I've had in Little Italy. We had the carpaccio- great portion size, and the meat was yummy. The bone marrow was a nice touch, but we weren't crazy about the potato things. A thin cracker would've been better I think. Rigatoni carbonara- tasty, filling- liked the bacon pieces. Didn't knock my socks off, but I enjoyed it. Cheesecake- my favorite part of the meal. It had raspberry sauce, gelato, and these yummy crumbles that went really well with the cheesecake. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I'd like to go back and try some of their other pasta dishes, and check out their patio seating. read more

Thank goodness for a great 'wait' staff! Over a couple of hours, we get the joy of Sammie, our waitress, the delicious food from Chef Christopher, the personal attention from GM Delis and the fun from each person that brings out a dish or helps us with the wine. We upgrade to a Barbera from Piedmont. It's a very food friendly wine. The 'finish' on this wine really does it for me! Love that they sell by the liter. Feels like we would serve wine at home. This is such an interesting place .... with three, what we like to call 'princess' phones in cubbies on the wall. Brings back the memories and increases the topics of conversation at our table, sharing our histories with each other. We decide to start with Salad and then a Pizza. The flavor profile of the pizza is very good. The flavor profiles for the Rigatoni and the Tonnarelli are spot on. And the meatball appetizer works so well as a third offering in this 3rd course of the meal. So much fun to mix the ricotta into the tomato pasta and have the flavor profile change. I remember eating at a Paul Bocuse Italian Restaurant in Lyon, France and they gave us spaghetti and meatballs. I ordered that, as a challenge to see what they might do with it. It was good. And as I got to the middle eating my way down, there was a flavored ricotta cheese, which I tasted then mixed into the red sauce, which again, created a new and even more delicious profile. So it's the same concept, just without the surprise ending! Ocean Beach is far from Del Mar, but when we plan our next trip of going to different restaurants and doing tastings, we are definitely doing the rigatoni again!

Very cute place! I made reservations about a month prior and was excited to try for the first time. We came on a Tuesday night for meatball day and it was quite busy. I did not like where we were sat at all. It's was slower when we arrived and then got super busy after 5. Our table was the one right in front of the kitchen where the servers are in and out the whole time, so it took away from any type of relaxation as it was chaotic. I wish I would have asked to move, but it is what it is. The food was great and server was very nice. They change the meatball special each week, and the week we went it was meatballs in a cacio e Pepe sauce. It was different but good! We also split the caprese salad which was very fresh and the pollo all a Diavola. Very tasty. read more

I came here after finding out Cesarina had a sister restaurant. The waiter I had (I believe his name was Chris) was great, he was very attentive, super friendly, and he gave a great recommendation. He recommended the Rigatoni Alla Norcina, which may have been one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. It had a great sausage flavor and the sauce was perfect. We also ordered the Fettuccine Maiale E Spuntature, which was really good as well. The meat was super tender and flavorful. The one negative I would say is the bread is just okay. It is basically the same as the Cesarina bread. It was a tad tough, but I liked the sauce it came with. It was a tad pricey, but it was definitely worth it in my opinion since it was high quality pasta. The ambiance was nice - it felt very homey in here, very different than the feel of Cesarina. I would definitely return here, and I may like it better than Cesarina! read more

If you've been to Cesarina, Elvira will feel like a familiar friend! Located not far from their sister restaurant, Elvira is the newer kid in town in Ocean Beach. Personally, I like Elvira better. I think the food quality was better and the fact that they have super easy parking is a clear win! Reservations are also a little easier to snag. My husband and I came for date night. We had to wait a little beyond our reservation but once seated, were greeted by excellent service! We loved our fun server! She was attentive and quick. We ordered the bucatini allá Amatriciana and the diavola pizza. Both were excellent! The noodles were cooked the perfection with such great flavor. The diavola pizza had some heat. We appreciated the warning before ordering but it was perfect. Food was so good! I really loved this spot. There were also a lot of girls nights and parties happening so it's clearly a great gathering spot! So much fun and really great food. read more

Tried this for the first time for a birthday dinner because I heard great things! We made a reservation at 7:00pm. We got there on the dot and did have to stand off to the side for a few minutes to be taken to our table - not a big deal becuase it was a very cute spot to look around at all the decor they have up. We were greeted immediately and then were brought a pitcher of water and starter focaccia. I will say the bread was not great... it was definitley not fresh. Some pieces were quite hard. Their liquor bar is not too expansive. From what we tried to order, they do not have Tito's, Buffalo Trace, or Peronis. We started with the caprese salad which was so fabulous! Each ingredient was fresh and tasty. My main dish was the RIGATONI ALLA NORCINA, and it could have been one of the best pastas I have had in a very long time. The pork was so delicious, the sauce was just perfect, and the food was HOT. My partner got the special of the night and while it tasted good, it was almost room temperature. The service was excellent. Everyone was so kind, and our server Josh was very knowledgable of the menu and was so attentive. They asked if we were celebrating anything, and they surprised us with an affogato at the end of the night which was SOO yummy and the perfect end of the night. I will say it was quite pricey, but it is a very nice place to have a cute date night. This feels like a hidden gem where you forget that you are in OB. read more

Love love loved our experience at Elvira! Such a quaint restaurant with cozy interior, the cutest silverware and dishes, the most amazing staff, and the most important of all - delicious food! I've had Cesarina in my bookmarks for the longest time, and just found out that Elvira is their sister restaurant. A last-minute dinner reservation was easy to snag on OpenTable. We were seated promptly and were brought out water in a cute ceramic pitcher with a bowl of focaccia and a red pepper(?) or vodka tomato sauce. I ordered a glass of the Trebbiano, which was my first time trying, and I really enjoyed it. For the two of us, we started off with the beef carpaccio and decided to share the rigatoni al sugo e ricotta (which I believe is one of their signatures) and the tonnarelli allo scoglio giallo. The carpaccio was fresh and thinly sliced, and I loved the addition of bone marrow because it packs a rich, umami punch. The portion was also huge! Definitely something you can share with a bigger party. Both pastas were sooooo good and perfectly al dente. Loved the flavors of both, but my absolute favorite was the rigatoni! The sauce was bright and flavorful with the creaminess of the ricotta and the sharpness of the olive oil. One of the best pastas I've eaten and will definitely be a must-order every time I come. Our server was super attentive and came by to check in on us frequently. We loved our experience here and will definitely be coming back again and again! read more

I liked this place. It's very cozy and it just feels like dining in a very friendly family atmosphere. The server was accommodating, knowledgeable, and had amazing suggestions for my wheat allergy. Accommodations were made, which I was very thankful for. As far as the flavors and the food, everything was pretty good. I may be a little spoiled by another place in the area that serves homemade gluten-free bread, so I'd have to say the gluten-free bread here was just okay for me. That said, the overall experience more than made up for it. It was a cozy, nice, fun little place, and I would come back. read more

Elvira is like a little piece of something from Italy in OB. Parking is abundant. Very close to the beach and bay. Its located on a round a bout kind of. Inside is very fresh and welcoming. Its open. I am only talking about my take out experience. But next time I would definitely try dine in. Margherita Pizza - Light. very tasty and packs excellent ingredients as it is simple. Rigatoni Carbonara - Home made pasta. Not so light as I would expect but the noodles held up well. The sauce very velvety. Not salty and the guanciale comes through on this quite well. Polpette - Very divine. They remind me of grandmas meatballs. Very soft but holds up well within the sauce. Not leaning in any direction. Cheesy, herbascious. Very nice. read more

Among the surfer-style, beachy dive bars and homes around Ocean Beach, stepping into Elvira automatically transports you to a nostalgic and warm Italian home. Every detail is placed to make you feel as if you were looking over your own grandmother's collection of photos, collectibles, and furniture. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the portions made it even better for the price. The Fettuccine Maiale E Spuntature I ordered was served timely and with a beautiful presentation. It had a flavorful meaty sauce with a bone-in baby back rib placed on top. The meat was tender and I was able to take it off the bone easily. Our server Nick did an amazing job balancing every table he was serving: attentive, informative, and funny. What more could you want? I highly recommend Elvira to anyone and I hope to come back soon to try more of their delicious menu (and starter bread)! read more

This is Cesarina's little sister restaurant so you know it's going to be tasty! Came here for a birthday and had a wonderful time. Might I say the thing that really stands out with this place are their sauces. Each one was outstanding and really blew our minds away. On that note be careful with the starter bread - it's dangerously good and you could get full immediately with dipping those in the sauce! Had one of their cocktails and their Elvirona Bionda beer. The cocktail was refreshing and the beer was good. Started off with their special (every weekday there is a different one) which was the arancini. Really adored these. Crispy, tasty, filling. Highly recommend. As for main courses we got their díavola pizza and their carbonara. The pizza was good but maybe a bit too cheesy. The crust was cooked to perfection though (as a big brain move ask for a side of any of their sauces for the crust). It was a good choice but the real winner was the carbonara! We will be passing on the pizza moving forward and just sticking to the pasta because that was probably the tastiest carbonara we have ever had. The guanciale was perfectly crispy and wonderful (the meat on the pizza was the same - delicious!). Ended the night with the Frittelle di nonna. They were little balls of dough with strawberry stuffing you could put in it and dip in chocolate. It was okay. All in al the pasta and the sauces were the winners of the night. Service was phenomenal! Josh helped us (also the bartender) and he was fantastic. The interior was cute and very homey but make it hipster. Highly recommend getting a reservation. There is a tiny lot in the side but otherwise it's by a park so parking isn't horrible. read more

it was so hard to choose from the very enticing pastas on the menu. Everything was SO good. I will confidently choose anything on the menu when we return.

Big Bonus: a variety of wine available by the glass, half carafe and full liter. The tables are very close together, so I don't recommend if you want intimate, quiet conversation, but it's a nice overall ambiance. read more
