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.

We ordered the special pasta ravioli which had sheep's ricotta & brown butter sage sauce that was cooked perfectly al dente. The kale Caesar was also delicious with a lot of Parmesan & freshly made croutons. The "FunGuy" pizza, olive oil cake, & cannolis were also good but not the best I've had. Overall, this place is good & I would return.

I've been here a bunch of times & the food never disappoints! The kale caesar salad is overflowing out of the dish & overflowing with flavour! The pizzas are some of the best in the city, try the Dany & Diavolo

Some of the best pizza dough I've ever had. We ordered the pepperoni & the Dany (spiced honey & spinach), & it was the perfect balance. The kale Caesar is an absolute must order! Only slight negative was that the turquoise patio chairs weren't the most comfortable.

Heard a lot of good things about the pizza at this resto. We opted for the dany, the diavolo 2.0, the kale salad & gigli pasta. My favourite dishes were the Dany & the kale Caesar salad. The combination of the sweet honey & the chili oil was fantastic on the pizza. The kale Caesar was well executed & came in a pretty large portion. The service was also great! The pizza here is however comparable to a lot of other restos in Montreal. A bit more pricey but the quality is definitely there.

Everything about our meal was soooo good. Fresh pasta, variety of brilliant pizzas, thoughtful cocktail menu, & the Kale Caesar is every bit as good as everyone says. A shining example of a kitchen that is preparing dishes with relatively simple ingredients but executing them at the highest level. Loved everything about our visit.

Super wonderful! Loved the kale Caesar & suppli - definitely the highlights of the meal. Pizza was fine a little light on the guanciale for being $26. The ragu was not what I expected a little brothy & a heavy olive oil taste but still quite good. Would definitely come back!
