Review Summary

Elena delivers a lively but welcoming Italian experience with a menu praised for pizza and pasta, including the Dany pizza and Mafalda al ragu, along with fresh salads and bread, while the wine list and desserts are frequently highlighted and service is often described as attentive; the atmosphere ranges from buzzy and loud when crowded to cozy and intimate in quieter moments, and some visits note pacing issues, occasional delays, and prices that can feel high for portions, though many reviewers consider Elena one of the best spots for pizza and salads in Montreal.

Funghi pizza is a must try, it’s delicious! Hard to get a seat here unless you reserve a spot in advance

We visited Elena for a Saturday night dinner on a trip to Montreal from the US. This restaurant had an upscale vibe but the prices were quite reasonable. Bilingual staff were wonderful, quick to accommodate our party of six & to offer menu & wine recommendations.

The food was delicious, high quality, & expertly prepared & garnished. The pizzas are a bit larger than "personal sized" & we shared four between our group plus appetizers.

Excellent service, fantastic food, & great atmosphere. Highly recommended & we can't wait to return.

The fried risotto was amazing. The red wine pasta was good as well. The fungy pizza was good too. Nothing amazing I’d give 4 stars. The spot is really nice though.

Visited Restaurant Elena (specialty pizza) on Dec. 13, ordered Proseco & was given Champagne by our waitress Ann. We were not told they did not have Proseco. Realized once at home we were charged $160 for Champagne which was not even on their menu. Called the restaurant that same night & left a message for the manager. Elizabeth the manager called back the next day. She was not very polite or supportive, I therefore asked to speak with the owner Ryan Gray from Nora Gray & new restaurant Gia in Montreal. Elizabeth left a message later that day offering a refund of $85 plus $17 tip on the bottle. I accepted the offer. After several calls since the offer, no one has returned any calls NOR have I received any refund to date (Dec. 29). You would think customer service is important however, clearly it is not when the MANAGER & OWNER himself doesn't care to return their calls or keep their word. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!

N'allez pas dans ce restaurant. La pizza est médiocre dans l'ensemble. La serveuse, la cuisine & même la direction n'en n'ont rien à foutre... & même si les 3 pizzas sont retournées entières ... aucun geste de responsabilité de la cuisine. De plus les prix sont exhorbitants.
C'est le temps que les patrons retombent sur terre & qu'ils s'occupent un peu de la satisfaction de la clientèle.

I loved my first meal, I've already been back twice! First visit was with a party of four so we were able to sample a larger selection. Incredible pizza oven produces many delights; I've had Mushroom, Margharita & White pizzas = delish! The second visit we kept it down to just the one White pizza & we ordered the Nocco Fritto appetizer & shared a Pasta Verde as well. I enjoyed a glass of orange wine. There was a special dessert that evening called the Financier (named after it's popular shape resembling a gold bar!) Staff is super knowledgable & friendly. Comfortable seating; love the space & decor. Not your regular pizzeria but personally, I might be on MY way to becoming a regular!

Elena is truly a welcomed addition to the neighbourhood! The pizzas are fantastic! We had a great experience- the food, the wine, the staff & overall atmosphere of the space, all wonderful! Elena's is a great spot for a dinner or even just a bite at their bar.
