Elios Trattoria B Y O

Worst Italian food I have ever had. Ordered the crab pasta, crab was very obviously either out of a can or pre packaged and when I asked the staff and confirmed that it was pre pack or canned crab, dish was on the menu as being with saffron - not a saffron thread in sight. The pasta must have been waved through the crab as you could barely taste the crab let alone see any pieces of crab in it. My partner ordered linguine carbonara which was very ordinary, when we asked for some parmesan which in every Italian restaurant I have ever been to is brought in a bowl with a spoon and served onto your pasta we were given these tiny little take away containers that would be about a teaspoon in size with a flip top lid - this is what the parmesan was contained in, we were dining at a table not getting take away! We asked for the bill and were charged full price so then I questioned the staff, I had only eaten 4 mouthfuls of the crab pasta, it didn't even look like it had been ...read more

This was a major disappointment. The restaurant was totally empty but they seated us in the very back corner of the verandah where the plastic blinds were down and we sweltered from the minute we sat down. The staff was downright rude when we asked for some olives, for some reason we should have known that they were out of them at the moment. When the pizza arrived I have to admit that it smelt great but then with the first bite came the overpowering taste of tomato paste and that was all I could taste. Definitely would not recommend this to anyone and really wish that we had followed our instincts to leave before we ordered.

Went last night with a large group. We were seated by their staff and then staff didn't bother to take our orders for almost 40 minutes. If it wasn't a work function, we would not have stayed. Food was nice and would be fine if you are taking away, but I won't even bother to go there for take away myself after our experience. Also furniture needs upgrade.

Love this place, service is very friendly and efficient. Food tastes great, I highly recommend the lasagne. We eat at Elios every few months and we havent had a bad experience yet.

Nice place, good food.... a bit cramped not great to visit if you have a pram.
