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.

Loved the waiters always serving water, so attentive that my glass was never empty
The ragout was great & their gelato/sorbet is delicious
You cannot tell this is a restaurant from the outside so it gives a great underground vibe

Had a good time with friends on a Saturday night. Was open quite late with our reservation at 22h00. They remained open for as long as we were ordering drinks & talking. The food was appreciated by everyone, & the Ceasar salad was impressive to see. I was not 100% of the pizza I ordered, which is a shame because they are all wood oven baked. I still very much recommend the place. It has a sophisticated vibe.

My friends & I enjoyed this place mostly due to the atmosphere & good service. The food really wasn't very special. For a restaurant that only serves pizza & pasta, why is there only 3 pasta choices? We had the pizza Dany. It was very original but overall wasn't the biggest fan & wouldn't order again. It didn't taste like a pizza & it was a bit overly sweet. The basque cheesecake was probably the best thing we had. Overall very underwhelmed & will not return/recommend but it does have a nice vibe

The pizza was really good, the pasta too. Smaller cozy vibe inside which I liked, & the kale Caesar was really good . Would definitely go back.

🔥 Elena - Where the Diavola 2.0 steals the show

Everything about this meal was a win.

We kicked things off with a super fresh salad-light, crisp, & topped with a generous layer of shaved parmesan & herbs. Simple, but dialed in perfectly.

Then came the star: the Diavola 2.0. Wood-fired crust with that perfect leopard spotting, spicy soppressata, rich tomato sauce, & just enough heat to keep it interesting without overpowering the balance. Every bite hit.

The cocktail? Smooth, well-balanced, & paired great with the meal. & the vibe? Cool, modern, with the open kitchen adding just the right amount of buzz without being chaotic.

Elena doesn't just serve great food-it delivers an experience. Thoughtful, refined, & ridiculously satisfying. Already planning the next visit.

The Diavolo 2.0 pizza was incredible! Spicy, flavorful, & perfectly balanced. We enjoyed it on the backyard patio, which gave the whole experience a cozy, picnic-like vibe.
