Elia sits along the Miami River in Allapattah, serving a la carte fine dining with a focus on coastal, locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant describes its cooking as Mediterranean, though the menu leans Italian in practice — pasta, pizza, a lamb chop, and a "Tuscan" ribeye sit alongside the raw bar and seafood dishes.
The antipasti section includes burrata, charred octopus, fritto misto, and the Polpetta di Elia, made with wild boar and beef. Pasta options run from Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti to a Spicy Rigatoni Calabrian, while mains include Grilled Branzino and a Kurobuta Pork Chop. A tasting menu is also offered for guests who want the kitchen's full range in one sitting, and the bar program includes house signatures like the Elia Espresso Martini and the Velvet Kiss.
