About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Lively

Taking cues from Italy’s storied south, with its famed coasts and islands, rich history, and relaxed lifestyle, Elio Volpe celebrates the best ingredients from the Pacific Northwest as inspired by il Mezzogiorno — the ancient seafaring term for the wind from the south, now colloquially used to describe that part of the country. Above all else, Elio, like its cousin Savio Volpe, celebrates liveliness, warmth and hospitality. Viva la convivialità!

Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 10 pm every night, and for brunch on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays from 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We do our best to accommodate special requests but are unable to guarantee requests for specific tables.

We look forward to breaking bread with you!

Great spot for dinner, but don’t go expecting Italian food before 5—it's nothing but eggs and potatoes until then.

Everything was great about about our meal and time at the restaurant. No complaints on the food or service. However, there is 1 safety issue I’d like to bring up in regards to the lobster baby high chair that was provided to us for the booth chairs. One of the arms was missing the “claw” part that grips onto the table is missing which made me concerned about how safe it was to use. We used it anyways as it was the only available option. I would replace that chair so that other families don’t feel uncomfortable using it as it can views as unsafe. Also, the waitress didn’t seem to know how to set it up so I would also ask that staff is trained on how it’s buckled and installed.

Came with a friend tonight to try this new (to us) spot. We tried two pasta, a salad and some octopus. The watermelon salad was great. I'd do a little less peper but that's a personal taste. Calabreselli alla vodka and Rigatoni cacio e pepe are both great pastas to share. Add in a little octopus 🐙 and dinner is a winner. The blood orange soda is also great.

After being impressed with past visits, this last one was very mid. Martini wasn’t great, new menu items were also so so. The “waygu” beef was bad.

Excellent choice of delicious and creative food and drinks. Only suggested improvement would be to try to make the entire pizza crust thin and crispy. Our crust was wet and soggy in the middle.

We did the alla famiglia and it was amazing. We had to be smart and pack some dishes to go to keep room for dishes to come. Our server was fantastic as was the Sommelier. The atmosphere is so great. I highly recommend this restaurant.
