Ellie’s — Increase Your Odds of Success on Date Night

Ellie’s isn’t just for date night—it’s where some locals go to celebrate real milestones. If your flavor is Southern Italian, this is the place to be. The food is everything you’d want from a fine dining experience, but tucked away in a local neighborhood. The secret? The menu is all about “curating ingredients grown and handled with care.”
 

One reviewer on Reddit shared: “My fiancé and I went tonight to celebrate our recent engagement… I dream about their tagliatelle.” Another mentioned coming back as a married couple. That’s the kind of lasting impression this place makes.
 

Full honesty? I missed this one at first. I’m more of a drop-in guy. But reading reviews like these, you start to see why so many people hold Ellie’s in such high regard. With handmade pastas, a romantic patio, and service people rave about, this is one of those spots you keep in your back pocket—for a celebration… or the night you want to turn into one.

So if you’re in the neighborhood, say hi to Jason and have a night out.
