Elisir Restaurant is the latest incarnation of Chef Enzo Fargione’s approach to Italian fine dining featuring the chef’s distinctive hands-on approach, personalized vision and interpretation of his acclaimed modern Italian cooking that earned him the 2008 Esquire Magazine:

“One of the best 4 chefs to watch in the USA”

Elisir offers unique and creative multi course tasting menus nightly highlighting Fargione’s creativity and constant search for taste, presentation and concept. The restaurant also offers a very detailed a la carte menu which changes seasonally. At lunch time the restaurant offers a simpler and faster Bistro concept with an a la carte menu for the main dining room and a dedicated limited Bar menu inclusive of alcoholic beverages for a lower set price.

Located in the heart of Washington DC Penn Quarter Elisir is conveniently located at 427 11^th street NW Washington, DC (between Pennsylvania Ave & E Street)

The design and decor is the fruit of collaboration with the renowned architectural firm Grupo 7 that created a first class fine dining restaurant with stylish contemporary, but elegant décor and with typical European flares.

Elisir accommodates approximately 70 patrons in the dining area, 20 patrons at a bar, and 25 in its glass enclosed private room. The Restaurant showcases 3 glass fronted wine cellars, fine wood millwork, porcelain tile and carpet floors, pendant lighting and custom metal details.

The partially open kitchen features a plating station and an observation deck, which monitors the work of Chef Fargione by recording HD cameras throughout dinner service with live feed to the internet and to nearby LCD monitors

The Restaurant is open 5 days a week for lunch and 6 days a week for dinner service. The wine list features extensive selections from Italy, California, South Africa and a few French and Virginia labels. A multiple wine pairing program is also available to accommodate any dinner menu selection along the attentive Dining room director or Sommelier’s assistance.
