I'm always on the hunt for a good eggplant Parm sandwich, but unfortunately, Rosalia's Deli just…read moredidn't hit the mark for me. The eggplant was really soggy, and the whole sandwich was lacking that crispiness I was hoping for. It wasn't quite what I wanted. On the bright side, the marinara sauce was pretty solid--not too sour or tangy, and it had good flavor, but the sandwich itself was just missing something. It wasn't my favorite. That said, they do have a lot of other options on the menu, and I'll probably give them another shot. This time around, the only other thing we tried was the gelato, and that was amazing. You can tell it was fresh, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. The deli has a good amount of seating, but it does get really busy during lunch rush, so just a heads-up. You can pre-order if you want to skip the line, which is a nice option. They've got pizzas, pastas, salads, subs--the whole lineup--so I might come back to try something else, but the eggplant Parm sandwich? Probably not.

I ordered the Sea Ell and Beef Cube in Tomato Sauce over Rice and their eel was cleaned seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also had the Kimchi Chow Udon and I thought it would be super spicy but it just had a kick to it which was very nice because i was able to enjoy the kimchi and beef flavor.

I was hoping for a little bit sweeter, it was kind of bland to me. We had their popcorn chicken and crab rangoon for appetizers. The popcorn chicken was tasty but the pieces were really small. Entrees we had pad Thai, eel/beef cubed and rice, and some others I can't remember the names. Overall everything came out pretty quickly. Our server was nice as we were one the last customers and we didnt feel rushed. The chicken pad Thai wasn't my favorite its flavor profile wasn't as strong and sweet as I am used to. The teriyaki chicken was actually good as the chicken wasn't overcooked. If I'm in the area I would stop by again.

They served the rare steak on a small plate so you can add to the hot broth yourself and it won't be overcooked. There were lots of noodles and meat. The broth was very delicious and not overly salty. Very large portions. Was only able to eat half and take the other half home. The waiter was nice to pack it up for me and had separated the broth from the noodles and meat. Had also ordered the Bahn mi House special sandwiches to go. I tasted more of the mayo than the pate. I like pate more so maybe next time I can ask for more pate and remove the mayo. For me it seemed there was more toppings than meat. I do like how the bread is cut from the top, so the food didn't spill out from the side. They have a large selection of Pho and Noodle bowls. Would definitely need to come back to try their Bun Bo Hue or Dirty Pho.

Unfortunately, that server came across as rude and was noticeably rolling his eyes while my family was taking their time placing their order. It made that part of the experience unpleasant and definitely stood out compared to how friendly the rest of the staff was. Aside from that interaction, we really enjoyed the food and felt the portions and quality were a great value for the price.

10/9/26 update: I…read morewas in the mood for these Asian inspired sandwiches. Parking is still the same but can be limited at 12:30 pm. They have more staff working. They have 7 tables and 4 barstools (communal table against the wall). They have two kiosks that you can order from. They have one gender neutral bathroom. We ordered spicy garlic shrimp as a rice paper wrap, Thai pork belly (sandwich), and Sichuan spicy brisket (sandwich). The food was just as excellent as the first time we came here. I'm glad they kept consistent after all these years. Sichuan spicy brisket was a tad bit spicy but nothing overwhelming. The meat in the Thai pork belly was very tender and juicy. The spicy garlic shrimp as a rice paper wrap is a great alternative if you're on a low carb diet or you can't handle gluten.

You place your order on the tablet, there is just one guy working in there who makes the food and places it on the counter. The decor is simple and just right. The food is the best food ever! I had the rice paper wrap with tofu in it. I could only eat half as I was so full. The seasoning on the fries is so good.. and the cucumber salad was top notch. Even the drinks in the cooker area were very interesting that I had never seen before. It's very clear that this is a very well thought out restaurant. The only feedback I would give is to add a couple of options for vegan gluten free in the menu. My wrap had to be customized and communicating with the chef was a bit of a challenge due to language.

I really liked the zucchini fries and the sauce they came with. It was a nice starter to the meal. The pizzas were both good too! I really liked the crust; it felt soft and pillowy and was a nice end to the pizza slice. I enjoyed the mushroom one, but the Livia had a nice contrast with the honey drizzled onto it. The tiramisu was delicious! The coffee taste was strong and the chocolate drizzle was a nice topper to the cocoa powder on top. The service was good and they kept checking on us throughout the meal. The only downside was that the restaurant can be kind of warm, but we were seated closer to the kitchen with the ovens on and the servers gave us some fans of try and cool ourselves off.

It was pretty good, however the chicken is hard to cut into pieces while eating. Wish it was cut up for you because there just huge chunks of it!

I swung with the "Espanola Omelette", with Chorizo, Peppers, Cheese, and Onions. I asked for Fresh Jalapeño as well. It came with Hashies, which I asked to be "Burnt" ( I and Wife like our HashBrowns to be crispy, crispy, crispy!) They came out exactly as I like them--most folks would send them back, but not I. With ketchup and too much salt, a perfect compliment to the fab Omelette. Groovy Greek Toast as well. Perfect throw on the Diet Peps. The decor was attractive and the service was spot on.

For an appetizer, we got the honeycomb with ricotta and honey. It wasn't bad at all--the bread was nice, and the ricotta was good, but everything combined was a little lacking in flavor. For entrees, we got Ella's Smash Burger with fries, the Rocket Man pizza, and the chicken farro salad. The smash burger was delicious! It's definitely not your typical smash burger since it was thicker, but all the ingredients worked so well together. The Rocket Man pizza was also amazing. Honestly, I could eat it by itself without adding anything else and be completely satisfied. The chicken farro salad was delicious as well and very filling. Our bartender and server, Kalina, was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about both the food and drinks and took care of us throughout the entire evening. We really appreciated her recommendations and great service. The restaurant was clean, and it wasn't too loud, so we could actually have a conversation with the people sitting next to us without having to shout. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

A great spot in Elmhurst to get a guaranteed good meal every time!…read more I love their appetizers including the ricotta and honey (my favorite), the zucchini fries, and the homemade chips/onion dip. The pizza is both super doughy and cheesy, but also crispy on the edges. A bit different from a typical deep dish or thin crust though, as a heads up. And the vodka pasta is a super garlicky/spicy/creamy solid dish you have to try (I get it every time without fail). I've also never had a bad experience with servers at Ella's! They're incredibly nice and even let us bring in a cake/brought us plates for my dad's birthday. And finally, the ambience is as expected. It's an Italian pub, so think elevated bar space with some nice paintings and outside seating where you could go either dressed up or casual.

We're anything but regulars to this place, yet she remembers each of us, like we're her precocious kids. "Let's see Coffee for you four and black tea for you two weirdos, Irish Benedict for you, 2x2x2x2..." Is she guessing, I dont know, but she make me feel like she knows me and cared about. This gem is the polar opposite of a creative, avant guard, posh restaurant, which we also love to go to. Instead, this place is a down-to earth 'warm sweater' sort of a restaurant. There's no caviar or truffles here. Instead, if you like a classic breakfasts, like you ate when you were a child, put on your way-back shoes; and try this place. They make their own corned beef hash and serve it in a myriad of variations. I prefer the 2+2+2+2. Two tender golden pancakes, two eggs basted, two strips of bacon and two sausages. I dont like the sausages but offer them to the others and woof they're gone. Is this a fancy place with 'ambiance', ummm... no. Are my eggs basted, by ladling hot bacon grease over them, like how my mother made them; no - that would be too much to ask. My Mom used to make corned beef and cabbage for dinner the night before, then make corned beef hash the next morning. Again, too much to ask, but this is as close to those paradigms as I'll ever dream of getting. Thank you Mimi!
