Restorant Elita

We visited the city of Shkodër in Albania. The pedestrian market has a variety of restaurants, but we wanted to eat somewhere less touristy, so we toured the residential streets of the city and discovered this nice and cozy restaurant. The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is very pleasant and quiet. The dishes are very tasty and the prices are very reasonable. The place is less touristy and therefore not crowded. The dishes arrived quickly and we really enjoyed our relaxing stay there. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous restaurant and outstanding waitstaff. I decided to celebrate my BD with a nice lunch and Bar Restaurant Elita and they delivered a warm and memorable experience with delicious food. I arrived just before the kitchen opened and relaxed on the patio overlooking the magnificent church and listening to its bells while I enjoyed a glass of wine. I ordered the pork medallions on the suggestion of my waiter, Marco. They were delicious and the initial presentation elevated the experience. I also ordered a plate of grilled veggies that were lightly seasoned and grilled nicely as they still had a bit of texture to them. I also enjoyed a fresh salad with apples, walnuts, etc. Marco, and the other waitstaff members were all warm and welcoming, and Marco's command of English was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations around Shkoder and the local towns in the area to explore further. I was allowed to linger, relax, enjoy my wine and soak-up Albanian hospitality. I highly recommend treating yourself to a fabulous meal here.

Best pasta I’ve ever eaten in my life and I have been all throughout Italy and France. It was the bigoli pasta and it was actually amazing I could eat it every day. The service was immaculate, Krisjan was our waiter and was the best waiter in the world. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

The restaurant was recommended to us by locals. And they were right! The food is amazing and comes at an outstanding price. The ravioli were delicious 🤤 Also the truffle pasta came with a lot of truffle and tasted great. There's nothing we can criticise about this place. Thanks for the awesome dinner!

One of the best places in Albania, the food is delicious, service is great and the atmosphere is calming. We tried multiple dishes and all of them were amazing, the finishing with Yogurt dessert.

The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried a mix of traditional Albanian dishes and modern Mediterranean flavors, and everything was spot on. The grilled meats were juicy and perfectly seasoned. Don’t miss the homemade pasta — absolutely delicious!

Unfortunately, our experience at the "Elita" restaurant in Shkodër was very disappointing regarding the quality of the food. 👎 Caesar Salad: It was bland and lacked the appropriate dressing. It completely missed the freshness and character expected of a Caesar salad. 👎 Pasta Aglio e Olio: This dish was far below our expectations. The preparation was incorrect and failed to convey the authentic taste of this classic pasta. 👎 Mozzarella and Prosciutto Pizza: The pizza was also disappointing and tasteless. We are truly sorry that we left with such a bad taste. We hope that the management considers these observations to improve the quality of the dishes, as the atmosphere might be good, but the food is the foundation of any restaurant.

Excellent. Professional, careful staff delivering great food at very reasonable prices in a timely fashion. Not too often I will have dinner and breakfast at the same spot but this one is special. Met the owner/manager who is pleasant and truly cares about his clients.
