Sat us outside under crammed heaters while it rained, with a reservation. Wood fired pizza for $27 should have something a little more exciting going on. Worth skipping if you're visiting from out of town
20 minutes d'attentes minimum pour placer notre commande. La salade kale cesar arrive rapidement & est incroyablement delicieuse.Ma copine commande une pizza qui arrive dans un délai raisonnable mais mon plat de pâte lui, 50 minutes plus tard!!! En guise d'excuse on m'apporte un dessert, le seul sur la carte que je n'aurais jamais choisi....comment corriger une erreur par une erreur. C'etait ma 9ieme mais dernière visite. Trop de resto a Mtl pour risquer a nouveau.
Great atmosphere, food, wine & staff. Great for a date & works for a small group too. Random but their pizza crust is one of the best in the city.
Take out; My Amex credit was expiring Dec31, I didn't have time to dine anywhere really during the holidays. I ordered them to go over the phone, went smoothly, ready in one hour even though the restaurant was quite busy, 4 pizzas & 3 pastas, nicely packed. All delicious & the best value ever. I will order again, maybe dine in next time.
Pizza was great & fresh. Cocktail was yummy. The service was possibly the best I've had in my entire life? So attentive. Knowledgeable. The water glass never got under half full. I forget our waiters name but props to him & the rest of the staff.
Really delicious dinner & lovely service. I thoroughly enjoyed the fungi pizza which had a generous mix of mushrooms. The crust in general was just spectacular- hot, light, & fluffy. The salads were also overflowing & the kale cesare specifically had a nice tart punch. The roasted beet dish had a nuance that was elevated by the sesame nut mix sprinkled on top. We ended the night with a beautifully dark chocolate tart. I would recommend Elena to anyone in the area.
Walked straight past it the first time, little sign in the window, but what a find, great food & service, had a variety of different dishes to share & even the kids loved it. kale caesar, who knew this was good, apparently everyone, one on every table. Absolutely sensational
Our go to for a fun & great meal. Consistent & delicious! Kale Caesar, Pasta, Pizza & Wine. 😌
Un beau petit resto vraiment sympathique. Un menu simple mais efficace. Une grande variété de vins mais une carte avec peu de descriptions ce qui pourrait être amélioré. Ne pensez pas y aller en voiture, le stationnement est tout un défi.
Après quelques visites forts agréables chez Elena au cours des dernières années, la dernière fut plutôt décevante. Les cocktails étaient très chers, la pizza moins bonne que dans mes souvenirs, mais ce qui a vraiment rendue mon expérience désagréable, c'est que c'était notre première visite avec un bébé. Nous avons réservé pour 17h, le plus tôt possible, & avons mentionné que nous aurions un bébé avec nous. En arrivant, nous avons demandé une chaise haute. On nous a répondu qu'il n'y en avait pas. J'aurais vraiment aimé qu'on m'avise lors de la réservation ou de la confirmation. J'ai dû manger froid, avec un bébé impatient sur les genoux. Ce serait si simple de mettre une ou deux chaises hautes a la disposition des parents. & franchement, si ça ne vous intéresse pas d'avoir des bébés, il suffit de le dire aux gens qui souhaitent vous visiter. Ils choisiront un autre établissement avec plaisir. Dommage!
Lovely place, great food & atmosphere, loud enough to have a great time, not too loud to have conversations.
Best pizza in Montreal, they figured out how to put the perfect amount of everything on the pizza. Selection of wine is excellent as well!
One of the best Italian food experiences in MTL. Loved their Ravioli & Margherita pizza.Their Cannoli was great too.
we had the best meal of our lives at elena! the atmosphere was great, the service was perfect & our meal was amazing!! we had spaghetti, bread, anchovies & the margherita pizza. our drinks were also amazing! highly recommend this gem! we had been stalking elena for years & are so glad we made it there!
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!
We just got our order delivered & only got half of the Industrie alla Pala (one box instead of 2), which is very frustrating. Last time we ordered from you the pasta dish was forgotten & we had to contact you then as well. We are calling the restaurant to get the second half of the pizza but no one is picking up (been 10 times since around 9:10pm). We would love to just get the second half of our pizza tonight. I've emailed you at the email address on your website but it says the domain cannot be found.
