A rainy week calls for smoked agnolotti - rich, warm flavors of Indiana sweet corn and smoked ricotta are a perfect foil for summer storms.

Join us tonight for yours - only at The Elm!

Try our summer falafel!

Instead of chickpeas, we use a red lentil base with a bit of ricotta - served atop house labna, and drizzled with a spiced (but not spicy!) honey.

Available now, only at The Elm
