Elia on the River was the perfect brunch spot located by the Miami River with its lively atmosphere ✨
We started off our Sunday, with the bottomless brunch special that provided a variety of cocktails such as Mimosa, Aperol Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, and more! We also ordered the Velvet Kiss which is an Espresso Martini and this was the fan favorite. Our party agreed that it was one of the best, if not the best, espresso martini we have tried.
Paired with our cocktails we tried the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes that were really fresh. For our main dishes, we decided to try the NDUJA Pizza which has Ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano, Arugula, & Broccolini. It was definitely an interesting take on a pizza and if you like spice ️ you’ll definitely enjoy this. Additionally, we tried the Spicy Rigatoni which was divine and a good filling portion. A gentlemen from our party who doesn’t typically like red sauce pasta tried it and he said he would definitely order the dish in the future, so we call that a win.
The customer service from our server Victoria was extraordinary and the staff in general was very attentive. For Sunday brunch, there was a live band playing different tunes and jazz, creating a relaxing environment.
Overall, we had a splendid time and cannot wait to return for dinner to check out the different events.
P.S. the establishment has a parking garage making it easy to park and have a great time!

We came to the restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. She found the restaurant on Instagram. This was a very great experience. The servers and staff were extremely nice and helpful! I was very pleased with the food. My first time trying gnocchi. Server recommended the Red Sicilian for a drink and it was very amazing!! Perfect breakfast blend with a hint of spice on the rim. I highly recommend this place.

I visited Elia Restaurant on the Miami River, and overall the experience was spectacular. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The decor is stunning, the view of the river is amazing, and the overall atmosphere — from the people to the music — creates a very vibrant and enjoyable vibe.
Our server, John, was outstanding. He provided excellent service, was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Truly top-notch service from him.
Regarding management, Moe, the manager, initially approached us in a way that we did not feel very comfortable with. However, to his credit, he later apologized and addressed us in a much more professional and respectful manner, which we appreciated.
Despite that initial moment, the experience ended on a very positive note. I would definitely recommend Elia for its food, ambiance, location, and great service. We truly enjoyed our time there and would return.

Elia is a great new addition to the Miami River dining scene, with an atmosphere that truly feels very Miami. The vibe is lively and upscale, with a DJ setting the mood and a violinist performing live (watch my videos!) a fun and energetic experience that makes this place stand out, especially for a night out.
Let me be clear: this is not authentic Italian cuisine, but the food is still very good and well executed.
We ordered two pizzas : the Diavola and the arugula “pizza,” which was more of a flatbread than a traditional pizza. The Diavola had great flavor with a nice kick, while the arugula flatbread was light, fresh, and enjoyable, even if it leaned more toward a flatbread style than classic pizza.
We did have a reservation for 8PM, but we weren’t seated until 8:50 PM, which was a bit disappointing.
That said, once seated, the overall experience was enjoyable thanks to the vibrant ambiance, music, and attentive energy of the place.
Overall, Elia is a solid choice if you’re looking for good food, a trendy Miami vibe, and live entertainment by the river. It’s more about the experience than traditional Italian authenticity and for the right night, it delivers.

VERY GOOD! My friends and I went for lunch. I had Chicken Milanese. It was delicious but was served with a salad instead of pasta which was disappointing.
My friends had spicy rigatoni, rustic salad and paglia e fiend. They all loved their entrees as well.
The hummus appetizer, bread and pistachio bliss dessert and Hugo spritz were all very good.
We wish the menu had more entree options and that the establishment didn’t charge $5 for a coke refill and didn’t charge for extra servings of bread.
Our server was very friendly and nice. It was his first day and he was AWESOME! The staff needs to smile more and give off a more welcoming vibe.
The establishment is beautiful!

I really enjoyed the weekend jazz brunch at Elia on the River. The environment was very pleasant to be in – it is a beautifully decorated restaurant and the live music added to the experience. While the food and beverages are on the pricier side, I felt like the ambience made up for it and I felt like it was worth it! The staff were all super friendly and accommodating!

The food was incredible, but what truly stood out was the atmosphere. We went on a Sunday and the live music was fantastic, it added so much to the overall vibe. The décor has a cozy, coastal vintage feel that makes the space warm and inviting
The service was a perfect 10/10. Even though we had requested outdoor seating and they weren’t able to accommodate us due to a large party, the way it was handled was exceptional. The manager/owner personally came over to apologize, which really shows how much they care about their guests. Such a great experience We’ll definitely be back!

Elia on the River is such a gem. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, especially by the water perfect for a date night or a special dinner. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. The service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcomed. Everything from the ambiance to the presentation made the experience memorable. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others.

Such a cute girls night spot! We came in on a Thursday with a small group of 6 and had lounge seating right away. We sat directly in front of the live music which was awesome. Our server was fast and efficient. Ladies drink free champagne on Thursdays and she definitely made sure our drinks were never empty. ( don’t forget to tip generously since the drinks are free ). The ambiance is 10/10. Such a lovely place to dine or even have a date night. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back.
