After staying above the restaurant for our summer holidays three years ago, we were back near Lake Iseo. We wanted to eat at éla again because we had such a great time. We had another delicious meal at a very reasonable price. I recommend this gem to anyone staying near Lake Iseo. It can be combined with a visit to the adjacent Villa vineyard, if desired. Incidentally, they now also offered pasta Pomodoro and fries with a chicken schnitzel for the kids, which was really nice. We ordered the fried vegetables again, and this time a licorice-flavored risotto. We thoroughly enjoyed it; we'll definitely be back when we're in the area again.

We dined at this lovely restaurant during a motorcycle tour of Franciacorta. It's beautifully decorated, clean, and inviting, with a remarkable display of various wines, especially those from the Villa winery, which includes Osteria Èla. The maître d', Giovanni, is a true genius, instantly putting you at ease, quickly understanding your needs and immediately establishing a rapport with them. We drank wines from the Villa winery, and the Mon Saten won us over above all others—spectacular. The Rosé Brut Bokè was also excellent, and the Briolette paired particularly well with fruit and desserts. The dishes created by the in-house chef exceeded all expectations and were a surprise for their use of ingredients, presentation, and the richness of the flavors—a delight for the palate. The meats were fabulous, the fritters were delicious, and so were the cheese tortelli with bacon. The chocolate dessert with mint ice cream was a wonderful end to a superb dinner. My compliments to the kitchen and the chefs. The price was in line with the high quality of the ingredients and dishes. Drinks were a bit pricey, but the wines we drank were truly excellent. Giovanni, well done for managing the customer relationship in the dining room. This Osteria is highly recommended!!! We'll definitely be back!!!

I was here with a group for lunch. The risotto was fantastic. I normally don’t like or choose polenta. But it was the only vegetarian choice on our menu. And it was really delicious with melted cheese (maybe gorgonzola) under the creamy layer of polenta. The dessert was also very nice with typical Brescian cookies and icecream. The staff was extremely busy but managed to stay polite and calm anyway. I hope they could relax afterwards.

We went for a business lunch and discovered an exceptional place. It was so good that we immediately booked to celebrate a birthday. Quality food and impeccable service.

The first course of squash/pumkin was so good, it set a high expectations for the rest of the meal.

This is the second time I've had lunch at this beautiful place this week. A wonderful discovery that I highly recommend. In addition to the beauty of the place, the very friendly service and the top-notch cuisine. Even though we were there for a business lunch, the quality of the dishes was truly excellent. A restaurant that offers its customers excellent olive oil at the table, a sign of respect for those who sit at their table. The quality/price ratio was excellent. We will definitely be back for dinner because it's definitely worth it. Thank you ☺️

This is my second time eating at Ela, and I've had a wonderful time both times. The food is very well-cooked, and even though I chose the fixed-price menu, the quality doesn't suffer. The desserts are also excellent. The wait staff is very kind and helpful. The location is fantastic; from the windows you can see the courtyard of an old farmhouse, truly beautiful.

Amazing food: frittered vegetables and pork ribs were both divine. Friendly staff, our waitress spoke excellent English.

I have eaten here on several occasions because I find the menu, the location and last but not least, the service excellent. I personally feel that the care and thought that goes into the preparation of each dish more than justifies the cost and the possibility to accompany your meal with wines from the Villa wine cellar is a treat in itself. During the week the lunch menu at an inclusive price is first rate and the dishes are just as original as the alla carte menu offered at other times. A shout out to the two efficient, discreet and ever smiling ladies who serve and advise when asked.

Excellent lunch. Friendly and professional staff. We ate the weekly menu of penne alla norma and roast beef. For dessert, a truly excellent panna cotta with peaches. The food was light, clean, and fresh, accompanied by excellent Franciacorta, of course. Just what we were looking for for a relaxing lunch in this beautiful medieval village! Thanks, keep up the good work!

Location carina e curata, ottimo cibo con materie prime di qualità, l’unica pecca la tagliata da servire senza pepe e dare la possibilità al cliente di aggiungerlo in base ai propri gusti anke perché non c’è scritto nel menù. Ottima carta dei vini del territorio. Comunque nel complesso super consigliato 😋😉⭐️⭐️

Abbiamo gradito il vino Sella. Primi e secondi gradevoli. Buono il dolce. Ambiente accogliente. C'erano solo due tavoli occupati e di venerdì sera è strano. Buona esperienza.

Spaghettone “Pastificio Gentile” alla carbonara di lago, molto buono. Si comprende la qualità dei prodotti lavorati e dei piatti proposti. Ristorante tranquillo e non affollato in un bel borgo vicino alle cantine VILLA. Ottimo servizio e competenza. Consigliero sicuramente. Bravi

Mi sono trovata molto bene in questa osteria, cucina molto buona, ambiente molto accogliente, personale davvero gentile e attento

Il menù non è ampio ma i piatti sono curati e presentati con gusto Buona la carta dei vini a prezzo adeguato La domenica anche pizza

Have not eaten there since we came at 2:15, and although it says they were open till 3pm, we were not served, kitchen was already closed. It would be fair to list only the time until the new guests can come. Or to mention that the kitchen is open till 2pm. As far as my experience goes, this is really just italian "speciality". Really disappointing.
