Elio’s Osteria at Carina is a small independently-owed restaurant. It has no association with any other restaurant, whether or not they may have a similar name. A google search will quickly identify Elio’s bar in Sydney, Elio’s Bistro in Victoria, Elio’s Restaurant in Chicago. There is no tie to any of them. It is not a franchise. My wife Nat and I bought it from the Vasta Family in 1999; they bought it from Elio and Margie Marinelli in about 1994; Elio and Margie set it up about 1984 (or so).
