Food and environment go hand-in-hand, and Elia, Aden Hospitaity’s newest culinary destination, brings coastal Italian cuisine to Miami. Serving a selection of bites ranging from snacks like bruschetta and eggplant caponata to hearty pasta such as lobster linguini and pappardelle Bolognese or sweet desserts such as red velvet cake and passion fruit panna cotta, guests can enjoy decadent bites while taking in the stunning view of the Miami River. With interiors designed by Saladino Design Studios, the space pulls inspiration from a story about a man who fell in love with a woman named Elia, who cherished her freedom.
"We were inspired by the Italian coats to bring a beautiful story and feeling to life through meticulously selected materials, colors, accents and decor," says Sean Saladino, Principal of Saladino Design Studios.
Bringing the Italian coast to Miami through vibrant hues of pinks, greens, reds, imported marble and a stunning handpainted mural masterpiece, guests can step into the story of Elia while enjoying elegantly crafted dishes. 1440 NW N River Dr. #195, Miami,@eliaontheriver
