What an incredible dining experience from start to finish.
The service was absolutely top-notch. Everyone was warm, attentive, & knowledgeable without ever making us feel rushed. They made the entire evening feel special.
Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The kale salad was fresh & packed with flavor, the Margherita pizza reminded me of the authentic pizzas I enjoyed in Italy, & the morel mushroom pasta was simply the best pasta I've ever had. It was rich, perfectly balanced, & unforgettable.
The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax & enjoy a great meal with family. Everyone at our table loved their food, which is saying a lot.
This was easily one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Montreal, & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, & a memorable evening.
A great spot to go with friends or date. The staff is friendly, food is good (Mafalda pasta 🩷) & nice location/visually pleasing. I had the Rigatoni with morels & my friend had the Mafalda al Ragu. For antipasto, Suppli al Telefono. All good recommendations!
We had the pleasure of trying out the pizza, fried cauliflower & desserts. It was an amazing experience overall. Highly recommended for pizza & pasta lovers.

The cacio y pepe pasta was sooo dry & basic i was shocked for a italian restaurant… cesar salad was mid… only good thing was the arancinni & thats kinda hard to mess up
Excellent!
My daughter surprised me with a birthday dinner at Elena. When we arrived, our table was not ready & our host Olivier sat us at the bar & suggested a glass of bubbly wine while we waited. Once seated at our table, our server was very friendly & attentive. We started with the olives & the salumi - both very good quality. We then shared a Caesar Salad & the Supplì. The salad was tasty & you could tell that the dressing was made in house. The supplì were just as good as the ones I had in Rome. We then had the pasta special, triangular ravioli with ricotta & artichokes, with a very light sauce made with mint, lemon zest & Parmesan … what a surprise!! It was delicious & refreshing & very well designed. We also had the AP style pizza which was amazing. We had gelato for dessert, the pistachio was to die for ! During the meal the service was great, & Olivier was knowledgeable & great at suggesting wine pairings.
We will definitely be back!
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
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.
