La nourriture est vraiment bonne ainsi que le service

Thursday evening - table of 4. We arrived for 6pm reservations & I assume this early for the regular clientele as only tow other tables were seated. Was seated a corner table which is large circular table making it a little awkward when your 4 unless you add a chair.

Started with come cocktails which were good. Appetizers: polpete, beet salad, supli & another dish I can't recall were all very tasty. Everyone enjoyed. We then shared two pizzas (Diavolo & Margherita) which were also excellent. A dish of sugo (ragu) was also ok, not great but not bad. I thought it lacked seasoning & was rather bland.
Service was excellent from all of staff were interacted with, friendly & professional. Wine suggestions (by the glass) were spot on. Noise level is high, but we were also seated under a speaker so music was a little loud.

Plenty of parking available out front (free) & the area is quiet & residential. I prefer coming here in the summer when you can sit outside on the terrace which is more quiet.

I had also indicated this was a birthday dinner in the Opentable reservation but this was overlooked or ignored.

Elena is tasty, fairly priced, & well worth it. Balanced menu, loyal crowd, & a great neighborhood spot.

Le choix du menu donne l'eau à la bouche & effectivement, leurs plats sont excellents. Nous avions pris plusieurs plats à partager (entrées & plats principaux): tout était délicieux. L'atmosphère est agréable aussi.

Very loud. You're also seated quite closed to other guests.

Had pizza (great) with lamb pasta (also great) with tiramisu (served with filtered coffee, do not recommend).

All in all a decent experience, but don't get the hype honestly.

We love this place, it's one of the few places we take out of towners when they come to the city. When it's busy, It's very noisy, but otherwise it's a great place to chat & eat with friends.

They always have an alternative or two on the menu that's tasty - but the pizza is why we go. You can get a spicy honey/ pepperoni pizza anywhere in town so don't sleep on the other options. They're the best ones! Big fan

2026: nice olives & bread to start, but would be nice if olive oil had a little balsamic. The suppli Al telefono were better than typical arancini. Funguy pizza was overflowing with mushrooms. The lamb pasta was delicious. Tiramisu tres leches was perfect, best of both desserts. My friend enjoyed her chocolate cannolis.

Service was friendly. Suggested wine was great. Été something. Lighting could still be better, it felt dark rather than intimate. Maybe some fake candles?

2024: The Dany pizza was delicious & creative with the sesame spinach honey combo, but I didn't like how wet it was, like all the toppings just slide off as soon as you lift it up.
The Gigi pasta was a interesting bitter mix of flavours with the fennel & arugula, but there was barely any sausage in it.
Olive oil cake was nice but pretty dry compared to other olive cakes I've had. I know the cream+olive oil is there to compensate but it's not the same.
Cannolis were delicious & well presented, available without the pistachios if you have an allergy.
The Barbossa is a smooth young red wine accompaniment
Service was very attentive & efficient. Glasses were never empty. Decor was typical modern industrial. If there was music, it wasn't memorable.
