I’ve eaten here twice, lunch and dinner. Both times urge me to return again. The fresh pasta and sauces are amazing, the appetizers are inventive and delicious! My favorite dessert is the dark chocolate budino and I look forward to trying their famous donuts next time.

We have been going to Ella's since it opened several years ago. The food is always well prepared, delicious and served quickly by very lovely servers. We especially like the beet and orange salad and the Di Mare pizza which is made with pesto and shrimp. It's also conveniently located across the street from the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum. We love Ella's!

The server was kind, didn’t rush us, and even joked around a bit. The street corn app and fried chicken sandwich were sooo good. Will definitely come back again for brunch!
