Review Summary

Elena is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal, praised for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its sourdough pizza, kale Caesar salad, and flavorful pasta dishes. Many guests highlight the vibrant atmosphere, stylish design, and attentive service as key components of a memorable dining experience. While the majority of visitors leave with high praise for the food quality and professional staff, some feedback points to inconsistencies in service timing, noise levels, and occasional issues with seating arrangements or temperature comfort. Despite a few mixed reviews regarding portion sizes and pricing, the restaurant remains a popular choice for both casual outings and special occasions, with many patrons expressing a strong desire to return.

Cute spot! Would be so easy to walk by on the street, but a little gem. We had the Dante salad to start which was yummy, although there are artichokes in it, not a lot mostly just the lettuce & radicchio but nice & refreshing.
Between 3 people we shared 2 pizzas, the M Funguy which was a white sauce style pizza, with wild mushrooms & a nice garlic butter flavour. We also had the Diavolo 2.0 pizza, which was slightly spicy, with the salami & peppers (fancy pepperoni pizza). Both pizzas were good & I'd have them again!
We had the chocolate tarte for dessert, & if you like chocolate it's very good, a rich dark chocolate flavour.
Only « negative » per say is it is a bit pricey for the pizzas, but you pay for a nice ambiance in the restaurant.
Has a cute decor, & lots of classic apéritives like amaros & grappa.

Very disappointed with the pizza I ordered from DoorDash. There is a bug crawling on the pizza when I opened it. I don't know what the restaurant's safety measure is, I've never ordered a pizza that has a bug crawling all over let alone such an expensive pizza. Absolutely disgusted

J'ai été déçu de mon expérience. La pizza était assez mal exécutée. Beaucoup trop de sauce, croûte peu gonflée & très inégale, manque d'huile d'olive. Le service aussi laissait à désirer. Pas mauvais, mais pas particulièrement chaleureux & attentif non plus, & ça a pris longtemps avant d'arriver aussi. Heureusement la pizza était quand-même bien cuite & faite de bons ingrédients alors c'était bon pareil malgré la déception.

La pizza è autentica napoletana, col cornicione alto croccante e la base solida.Molto più buona di tante altre pizze mangiate in Italia. I prodotti sono genuini, la pizzaiola è italiana, veramente bravissima!
Anche il supplì era buono.
Non do' 5 stelle solo perchè il resto del menù non è autentico italiano e il locale è un po' rumoroso.
Complimenti.

Don't book here for a reservation of greater than 6 people unless you want to pay a 70 dollars minimum per person & be forced to eat a specific group menu without any real instruction on what that means exactly. Manager unpleasant & unaccommodating.

I ordered through Uber Eats so my experience might not be representative.

I wanted to try Elena for a few years now & unfortunately the food was much below my expectations. We had the Dany & the sourdough pizza (The one named after the Home Alone guy). I didn't like much either, but my boyfriend enjoyed the Dany. I found it somehow watery, I don't know if it's the honey or liquid from spinach but the texture of that liquid was very thin, which spoiled the experience of eating pizza. & I thought the sesame would be on the crust & not a crunchy bit in the middle, but that's on me. Unfortunately, for the price, we could have had more food with better taste from Fugazzi.
