What people say

Ella Elli is a hidden gem located on W. Cornelia Avenue in Chicago. This wine bar and Mediterranean restaurant offers a cozy and intimate atmosphere that draws locals away from the bustling So. The menu features delicious dishes such as roasted beets with goat cheese, pistachio dukkah, and citrus. But what really sets Ella Elli apart are their wine tastings, which showcase women-owned or women-made wines from all over the world. With limited seating available, it's important to reserve your spot ahead of time through Tock. And if you're looking for a special brunch experience, Ella Elli offers pop-up brunches on holidays like Mother's Day. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a night of wine tasting, Ella Elli is sure to impress with its unique offerings and warm ambiance.
