Ellinya Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Corsicana

Little lack luster. Received nothing but stellar recommendations of this place but can’t say my visit will warrant us returning anytime soon. Made reservations for 7. Got seated at 7. Order placed at 7:15. Order was then asked to change to carry out at 8:45, received order at 9:05. We sat and watched others that came in much later than us receive their food before us (table of 2) and some were even 5 tops. Our server checked on us a total of 7 times. 1. Say hello. 2. Bring drinks and take order. 3. To drop off the salads and give us a straw (had to wait thirty minutes or so to receive the straw). 4. Drop off appetizer (which came out at a reasonable time). 5. (Probably a whole hour later) we asked for an update. 6. Waved down and advised we’d like to change our order to carry out. She then came back and made us pay while hovering over us. 7. When we asked for a manager to discuss how things are normally ran so that we can make better accommodations, which her response was it’s not normally like this (this was repeated like 4 times). Which also does not answer the question originally asked. The manager also said our food was just sitting back there and not brought out yet. And to top it off that whole time we did not receive one refill on our drinks even though they were sitting at the edge of the table in the open. I understand the holiday that was going on and the rush everyone must’ve been feeling. But to wait almost 2 hours to receive our entrees while being neglected is something else. Especially since others around us were eating and leaving in...

I am absolutely addicted to this place! My very first visit to this beautiful establishment and I definitely plan on going back.

The homemade Italian dressing with my salad was absotootley delicious and fresh tasting to match the salad. Freshly grated parmesan, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes on the side for you to add as you please! My boyfriend is a picky eater and usually only likes spaghetti but he tried the Ellinya Special. The first words out of his mouth were "WOW!" He never wows anything so I knew it was delicious. His plate was gone before I knew it! I got the Seafood Trio w/ lemon white wine sauce as my appetizer and it was INCREDIBLE! The sauce wasn't overwhelming, it complimented the seafood, and the seafood tasted like the ocean without being fishy which is difficult to do. The sauce from my main course was delicious without being too salty or tomatoey, with the perfect amount of seafood in the mix.

I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you come here if you're a picky eater and craving some good Italian food and a relaxing environment. I will definitely be back for wine...

Wish I could give a 3.5 but that’s not the Google-way. So I’m giving the benefit of the doubt. Nice atmosphere and the staff were professional and pleasant. I ordered the Tortellini Panna and cheese sticks. Cheese sticks were very good and served hot. However…my dinner comes with a salad that was crisp and cold, which is great. But before I could touch it, the dinner arrived. The server mentioned “they’re fast today” but that’s it. Your apology, and no offer to take it back. This shouldn’t have happened. It did and I survived. Unfortunately, the cream sauce didn’t taste good. I’m not a professional chef but it tasted like it came from a can. Don’t have a chef vocabulary but it just didn’t feel creamy but rather more gelatinous. Tortellini, peas, and hame were good but the sauce really did the meal in.

Last time I was in town here, we ordered pizza, and we liked it. This place has a nice vibe, and a very palatable menu. This experience was just a bit off.“ I plan on taking another chance on this place.

Oh…should also fix the men’s room cold faucet; didn’t...
