A sun-drenched rooftop hideout that feels like Capri by way of Instagram, Élephante is all terracotta tones, slatted wood, and sweeping ocean views. The crowd skews pretty and polished, sipping spritzes and scooping up whipped eggplant with warm puccia. Pasta, pizza, broccolini. Everything’s shareable, snacky, and slightly too photogenic. Come for golden hour, stay for the DJ sets and espresso martinis. Just don’t expect a quiet dinner. This place hums.
Smoky eggplant spread with olive oil and warm puccia bread.
San Marzano, fresh mozz, basil. Pizza with an ocean view.
Spaghetti with fresh clams, white wine, garlic, parsley, chili flakes.
House namesake cocktail. Ask the bartender about the build.
Bourbon, coffee liqueur, orange bitters. Coffee meets whiskey.
Spicy cocktail with chili, citrus, and agave. Has a kick.
