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!

    Isabella and Amelia provided exceptional service. The food especially the pizza, vongole, and pork chop were made perfectly and the most delicious.

    Felt very rushed our food came out very quickly. I wanted to enjoy a cocktail before we started having the food. Every everything came out super fast. I wanted to have some wine with dinner, and it just felt that we were being rushed the entire time no explanation of what the food was just plopped down in front of us. Overall, I was disappointed in the whole experience and I probably won’t be going back.

    Dinner was lovely and Gustoff and staff very helpful. My girlfriend and I had a very nice pasta dish and the Rock fish entree. However Green salad was very disappointing. Too much red lettuce and radishes for a green salad. I am not a european wine expert... I found the mostly Italian wine list difficult to navigate not knowing what any of them taste like. Someille Kristi was very helpful, but still had to order $100 wine without ever trying it. Fortunately it was ok and good with our food choices. I do not want to be negative. Do not want to post bad review. Just some straight feedback. From first time diners. Will definitely come again. Would love an Italian wine tasting session. Do you ever offer Italian wine tastings ? Something to think about pre dinner.
