Bartoli played for Roma Calcio Femminile, beginning her senior career in 2006 and playing with her hometown club for six seasons. During that time, Bartoli was part of Roma CF's promotion from Serie B to Serie A within her first three seasons at the club. Bartoli decided to move from her native Rome in the summer of 2012, joining ASD Torres Calcio in for the 2012-2013 season.
Bartoli won a Serie A league title and two Supercoppa trophies during her time with Torres, but was faced with the club missing the deadline to register themselves for Serie A competition in the summer of 2015. Bartoli then chose to sign with ASD Mozzanica, but would later claim that the move up to Northern Italy wasn't to her liking.[1] Bartoli earned the nickname "Gladiator" with Mozzanica, but cut short her stay with the Bergamo-based club to join Fiorentina a year later.[2]
At Fiorentina, Bartoli enjoyed more success with a league title win and Coppa Italia victories. Having established herself as a household name in Serie A and an international defender with Italy, Bartoli took the decision to return to her native Rome in the summer of 2018. Bartoli joined the newly-formed A.S. Roma Women.[3] Her decision meant she became the club's first captain in their history, while Roma set themselves a club target of winning silverware within their first four seasons.
That target was achieved in May 2021, with Roma captain Elisa Bartoli raising the Coppa Italia trophy as she helped her hometown club defeat AC Milan on penalties.[4] In April 2023, she led Roma to their first women's Serie A title in history.
