"In 2022, after more than 40 years in business, and with growing numbers of aches, pains, and grandkids, the Varvaras were looking to sell Elegante. But rather than lose the family legacy, their sons expressed an interest in taking over. As of January 2023, Phillip’s son Anthony and Tony’s sons Gianni and Mike are co-running the shop." - Mahira Rivers

As I walked in I was blessed with the amazing presence and atmosphere it was stunning, and the staff was amazing and treated me with the utmost respect i felt like I was at home. The BBQ chicken pizza was outstanding, it had loads of juicy chicken it was made to perfection. The crust was crispy with a soft warm inside and the sauce was a perfect amount, there’s nothing more I wanted in a pizza place. I love this place.

Came here after watching the solar eclipse with friends, when you first step foot inside your greeted with the aroma of fresh food. The customer service was AMAZING, and the food is GREAT. Would definitely recommend for a quick Italian meal, you will not be disappointed. A perfect 10/10⭐️

Heard good things about Elegante. Perhaps times have changed. My first impression was from a pasta dinner order. Fettuccine Al Fredo that comes with fresh bread and a side salad. What could go wrong? Well the pasta looked okay but the Al Fredo was watered down and lacked any essence of cheese. So strange. Italian spot right??? A classic dish that did not live up to its name. The bread was fresh and the salad is an iceberg lettuce base. Okay so you don’t offer arugula to any and everyone. Fine. The tomato, cucumber, and purple onion on the salad were fresh if nothing else. Maybe the pizza is better. I’ll try a slice. After that, I’m done.

Amazing warm experience especially the service from Hesse. I ordered the penne à la vodka with grilled chicken. It came with a house salad. I ordered a Beef patty for an appetizer and tried the vodka sauce, Sicilian while I waited. One on the best have you ever Sicilians I’ve had to date. I 100% recommend and I’ll definitely be coming back!
