As soon as I opened up the adranos, I noticed the sesame seeds were super aromatic coming off the bread. The sandwich itself was delicious although I would have liked slightly more oil & vinegar. The franklin was the favorite of the 3 sandwiches we tried. The turkey was really good and I loved the bacon jam with arugula pairing. The fig pig was also good but a little heavy on the cheese. It was sweeter than the Franklin even though both had jam. The prosciutto was god tier. Really meaty and moist. While I was waiting for my sandwich I noticed 4 other people come in and order the fig pig! The cashier told me that the Franklin is one of the most popular. Service was very friendly and ingredients are fresh & high quality. Inside is small- just a counter to order with the sandwich making station behind it. There's also a small market. There were a couple of small outdoor tables which was nice. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

I asked the bartender which dish out of the lobster ravioli, seafood manicotti, and the pappardelle with crab and shrimp has the most meat, and it was the pappardelle so I picked that. The shrimp was tender and pasta was a firm al dente. Overall, texture and taste stood out. The place was crowded on a weekday night. We waited about 15-20 minutes for a table for two and the food came out promptly. Staff was accommodating and attentive, so no issues getting attention when we needed it.

No reservations, cash only (they have an atm), not many seats, but all of it is worth it. The food here is insane. The pear Pear & Cheese Fiocchi might be one of the best dishes I've ever had in the city. Same with the Tagliatelle with Filet. If you go with a larger group, they do family style, which is perfect, because you're going to want to try everything. The service is a bit slow, even when it's quiet, but still, I don't even care cause the food here is crazy. It's very neighborhoody type bar, so super casual, but one of my favorite places to take someone from out of town.

Booked the Feast of the 7 fishes pre-fix experience on Christmas Eve. Reservation time was for 7:30pm, and we were seated at 7:45pm. Although not an extremely long wait, Elma is an intimate restaurant with no standing room for non-diners, so when they are running behind that involves guest waiting outside ... in the cold. While I understand "things happen, The owner/chef handled the communication of the delay poorly, in my opinion. He was bothered with the inquiries and seemed annoyed that he had to keep coming to the door to answer similar questions from other patrons with the same seating time. Outside of the personnel, the food was decent. Although the menu was set to be a fish/seafood forward one, I did appreciate the variety of the dishes served that day. I do however feel the temperature the food was served at, was a bit luke-warm and that's coming from someone who despises overly hot served food. This however, leaned towards cold. Would I give Elma another shot, yes! I want to visit again on a regular day and get their regular menu, and choose dishes of my preference. I do also think they could benefit from a hostess :)

Everything here is family style so make sure you order multiple plates. My only gripe about this place was that the plates are really small even for family style and kind of pricey so you end up ordering more. Appetizers - Crispy octopus and foccacia. So good! I'm not a huge fan of octopus but it literally just tasted like calamari with some puree on the side that tasted so good. Main dishes - Margherita pizza... my fav thing that we ate here. So much flavor and yet still so crunchy. For pastas we ordered the fustilli which was like a bowtie pasta with tomato sauce and basil. We also ordered the carbonara which was cooked suuuper al dente and was tasty; it was on the saltier side. As for the mains - flat iron steak and branzino. My siblings were literally fighting over the last bites on the steak and branzino lol. Dessert - Since it was my sister's birthday we got to try the tiramisu which was deliciously rich and creamy. Ambiance - It's sooo cute in here. Dark and ambiant, it's seriously such a vibe. Come dressed up and take lots of cute photos.

Seemed that we were the only patrons and felt like we'd interrupted the staff's break time. While the decor is gorgeous, the energy definitely didn't feel warm, welcoming, or like a place we'd want to return. The pasta was fresh, cheese was plentiful, and the rabbit was shredded like chicken. My partner felt there should have been more meat but I enjoyed it. For two cocktails and one pasta (rabbit) it cost us $87. OK cocktails paired with good pasta. All in all, not worth the price point for the experience of feeling like you're an inconvenience.

Highly recommend making a reservation as it's a small place with about enough table seating for 20-30 people at a time. For food with started off with the focaccia which was divine! It had the perfect amount of sweet salt and the bread was still soft with the perfect crunch. For mains, we had the vodka rigatoni which was delicious! It wasn't that spicy to me but was the perfect portion size. The pasta didn't come with the option to add a protein so that's something to keep in mind. I loved that all the drinks they offered were made locally by PA breweries and wineries. They also have an amazing share meal deal that allows you to try multiple dishes for a good price.

Our waitress actually let us sample a few of the wines, since we couldn't decide! This was awesome and so rare these days, but a definite plus for any "wine bar". That being said, the food was really underwhelming. The highlight for me was the tuna crudo, which was so flavorful, creative, and absolutely melted in my mouth. The carrots were also really good. The pastas, however, which the place is known for, lacked flavor. The menu descriptions seemed super unique and innovative, but when the dishes arrived, they were seriously lacking. I really did come here for the pasta, and since the meal wasn't exactly cheap, I don't think I'll be rushing back.
