Trattoria Elva

Elva Logo

Trattoria Elva is a neighbourhood restaurant that combines the best of Italian tradition and urban sophistication with a relaxed Bondi buzz. An Eastern Suburbs institution, renowned for it’s Southern Italian pizza and handmade pasta.

After years of being a traditional osteria, the client wanted to reinvent Elva into something more vibrant and youthful, and inspired by their previous success with Vacanza, wanted expand their offering to include woodfired pizza and takeaway.

Thus, Trattoria Elva was born.

With its welcoming and familiar atmosphere, Trattoria Elva's energy captures those in the know.

Inspired by some of the more bombastic inner-city venues, we took Elva to a place that few Bondi establishments had been before. Drawing from authentic trattorias of yesteryear, the mark takes cues from historic shopfront signage and the brand colours were born from the greens and oranges of motorsport and the lush mediterranean.

Much like a pizza dough, the Elva mark can be stretched and adapted to fit any application. With its' bespoke lettering and colour palette, each variation of the logo still feels consistent and distinct – even when pulled, rolled or kneaded.
