A great place to eat after a morning of hiking the capital and seeing the sites. The gluten free options were just as delicious as the gluten rich personal pizzas. The calzones were huge. The mussels were amazing and lactose free! That last slice of pizza disappeared a moment after the picture was taken. We were a drop in group of eight with a variety of dietary considerations and we were seated and served quickly without any headaches.

4.5 stars Good meal at the Ella's wood fired kitchen. Busy but seating available on a Saturday night so that was nice. Staff was attentive and food came out fast. The dry rub wings were delicious and crispy and the pizza crust made the pizza as my toppings slid off. Music being played was setting the vibe with the classic R&B.

We stopped into Ella’s Wood Fired Kitchen for dinner and had a really solid experience overall. The atmosphere is casual and lively. We started with the Mozzarella Carrozza, which were house-made cheese balls fried and served with marinara. Presentation was great and the portion was perfect for two people. Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and the marinara was spot on. Definitely recommend. For my dinner, I ordered the Fried Eggplant Sandwich, made with sliced and lightly fried eggplant, mozzarella, parmesan, marinara, and pesto on brioche. It comes with fries (even though the menu doesn’t note that), and the fries were seasoned perfectly. The sandwich itself was delicious. The eggplant was tender, not rubbery at all. My only note is the brioche roll. The sweetness and softness didn’t quite match the Italian-style sandwich, and with the sauce and cheese, a sturdier Italian-style roll would’ve held up better and fit the flavors more naturally. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out correctly. The only downside was the pacing. Our dinners came out very quickly after the appetizer, which hadn’t been cleared yet. It made the meal a bit rushed. A little more space between courses would’ve made the experience feel more relaxed. We finished with the Tiramisu, which was tasty and a good size for two to share. Price for value felt good across the board, and we’d happily come back. We’d recommend everything we ordered.

1st time here. My partner had mushrooms tomatoes goat cheese pizza. 6 slices. 10 inch. Gluten-free crust. $2 more. He said pizza was excellent. I had a calzone minus ricotta cheese. Its been years since I have had a Calzone. Big portions. Flavor awesome.

We went here for dinner. I had the spaghetti and my son had the pizza. Authentic Italian restaurant. It's a little bit on pricey side. Service was great and the food was fantastic. We had dessert as well. Presentation was phenomenal.
