Welcome to Elia – a modern Mediterranean restaurant and bar, nestled in the heart of Wicker Park at 1938 W. Division St. The name “Elia,” derived from the Greek word for “olive tree,” is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and the enduring connection between people and food.

Our Culinary Inspiration:

Elia draws inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of Greece, Italy, France, Spain, and other Mediterranean countries. We translate these flavors and techniques into every facet of our menu, from salads to spreads, small plates, mains, sides, and desserts.

A World of Wines:

To complement our exquisite cuisine, we offer a carefully curated selection of 24 different wines sourced from around the world. You’ll find an array of reds, whites, rosés, and sparkling wines, all available by the bottle. Additionally, 12 of our wine selections are available by the glass, ensuring you can find the perfect pairing for your meal.

Craft Beverages:

In addition to our extensive wine collection, Elia boasts a well-rounded bar featuring 10 craft draft beers, a selection of packaged beers, and five non-alcoholic Gruvi wines and beers. We believe that every guest should have the opportunity to enjoy a thoughtfully crafted beverage, whether they prefer alcoholic or non-alcoholic options.
