Globalement, Elena est perçue comme une adresse italienne à Montréal où pizzas à pâte fine et pâtes bien exécutées côtoient des salades et antipasti qui séduisent, dans une ambiance chic et cosy qui peut aussi s ouvrir sur une terrasse agréable; les expériences sont majoritairement positives avec un service attentif et une belle sélection de vins, mais certains avis signalent des points d amélioration tels que des pizzas parfois brûlées ou de petites portions pour le prix, des plats qui manquent d harmonie ou des attentes longues et des soucis mineurs de facturation; la carte met en avant des classiques comme le kale Caesar, le mafalda al ragu et des pizzas telles que la Dany ou la Diavolo, offrant une expérience plaisante pour les sorties en amoureux ou entre amis et renforcée par une réputation solide, tout en laissant entendre que la constance peut varier selon les visites.
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
It's a hidden gem in the suburbs of Montreal!! Everything we got was amazing.. kale Cesar salad, pasta & pizza!! I wish I could have eaten more but I was already so full.. haha! Service was also perfect.. we did not feel like it was too fast, but had ample time to enjoy our meals without the waitress rushing us. We sat outside, its cute. Personally because I'm pregnant, I was hot. Next time will sit inside. I HIGHLY recommend this place. We enjoyed it so much we'd like to come back again tomorrow!!

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.
We came in from out of town to check Elena out & were not disappointed. Food was amazing & well thought out. Recommend the house made (?) cheese where available, the kale Ceasar & of course the pizza. Service tipped the scales for us, though. As restaurant industry folks ourselves we appreciated Lucas' recommendations, attentiveness, & thorough knowledge of the menu. The wine list is comprehensive, & Lucas truly knew the ins & outs. He also provided us with recommendations to best enjoy our visit to Montreal. 10/10
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.
Nous avons très bien mangé chez Elena & le service était bon. Nous y retournerons! La salade de kale était excellente, mes pâtes manquaient un peu de cuisson mais les saveurs étaient là!!
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.
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
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!
Love this restaurant. Always a go-to for me. Delicious food & wine & good service. I highly recommend this resto to everyone. Usually gets busy fast so make sure you get a reservation. The back is very cute & intimate- good for a date. I highly recommend the kale casear & the mushroom pizza. I don't recommend the anchovies (you get four tiny slithers for $16 & no bread- huge rip off in my opinion). Other than that everything is high quality & fairly priced.
