UPDATE
under new ownership but still great service and delicious food

Great Restaurant with views of the airport.had Ella's salad and Tri Tip Sammy, really good meal, also really liked the Mango tea.we will be back.

Service can take along time, especially during lunch. They seem to be short handed but wait staff does their best to stay attentive for the number of tables assigned. Pizza quality is inconsistent, sometimes you get great Pizza and sometimes it over cooked, burnt or soggy. Prices for lunch are reasonable, Dinner can get expensive.

The food is always excellent, the employees always kind and helpful and the drinks are always great. The whole family loves Ella's.

Great food with a view of the Watsonville Airport. Eat and drink while watching single engine planes take and land. The run way is further out so noise is not an issue. While there is plenty of street parking, the restaurant itself has limited seating. During busy weekends, it is not unusual to wait 30 mins or more. The menu has pastas, pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads. Plenty of vegetarian options and organic foods. A must try restaurant.

Wow! I've known about this place for a really long time and finally got to eat here tonight. It was awesome! I had "the real Italian" pizza and it was one of the best pies I've ever eaten. Loaded with tasty toppings but still crisp all the way through, amazing!

The "shroom fries" were also remarkable. Crispy french fries smothered in delicious mushroom gravy. A fricken genius came up with that one and they executed perfectly!

Go here!

This is not the place to come to if you're on a timed lunch. Took 15 minutes for our waiter to even come take our order. Once the food order was placed, it took half hour for the food to come out. Giving us enough time to just pack it to go. A fair warning would have been nice, since we did verbalize our concern about the food being ready on time before placing the order.

I’ve been eating at Ella’s for years! I absolutely love the locally sourced homemade food. You can tell they go the extra mile to make sure it’s healthy and delicious. My favourites are the prawns and polenta, el Dante veggies and the wings over Watsonville. Your going to win no matter what your order. The Chef Juan is absolutely amazing and the staff is very friendly. This is definitely a place you need to eat at if your in Santa Cruz county. Thanks for doing a wonderful job serving the community such delicious food Ella!

I'm not in the habit of giving anybody five stars because there's always room for improvement. But the pizza I had here at Ellis was out of this world I would call it six stars. Should I ever find myself in Watsonville at the airport this is the place to eat. Met a pilot who drove quite a while to come to this place and have lunch. After eating here I understand why. The word fantastic I do not throw around easily but this place serves fantastic food. You should heat my advice and go more than once I wish I was closer I would visit again and again.

Atmosphere and fantastic food. This is a top choice in the Watsonville Santa Cruz area hands down. Very large portions and great service everytime we go.

Service was great. I had the Berry salad which was delicious and filled with local fruit. Nice beer and wine list again with some nice local choice's.

If you don't go for the awesome food, then go for watching planes and other flying things take off and land. FUN PLACE, MUST GO

One if the best restaurants in Watsonville. Romantic, great food, sorta pricey but they never disappoint. Minimal vegetarian options yet enough choices to cover all the bases. We frequent Ella's.

Had a wonderful time with friends. Shared The Real Italian pizza that was so delicious I had a glass of wine Cinnabar Mercury Rising

It was a delicious! A hidden jem. I was intending to order a BLT or a burger but i chose their chicken instead and i was blown away! The capers easily enhanced the flavor moist chicken. Wow! Top notch staff and very energetic bartender.

The food was excellent, however the service was lagging, never got my water, had to ask for more coffee. I had ravioli, with sundried tomatoes. Other than that I don't really remember the name. And unfortunately it didn't come with anything else
