Elliott Aster

Handmade pasta with real confidence behind it. Beef cheek tortelli is the way to go.

The review

Our take

Elliott Aster is the one we send people to when they ask for the best dinner in St Pete. The handmade pasta is the point. There are plenty of choices, but the beef cheek tortelli is the plate that keeps winning. Rich, slow, clean enough to not feel heavy for sport. The room is beautiful (think Great Gatsby vibe) and service keeps up. It is not a cheap little pasta night, but it does not feel like robbery either. We would book it again and start with the tortelli.

What stood out

The beef cheek tortelli. Rich, slow, and the plate we would build the meal around.
