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.
Honestly, the best appetizers I think I've ever had at any restaurant, ever. Tried the fried cauliflower, arancini, & red peppers with bread. I could've eaten just that for a meal. The Margherita & Diablo pizzas were delicious as well, & so was the pasta. Had a bit of gelato & an espresso afterwards, & the whole meal was only $65 (plus drinks). Crazy good value for eating out these days.
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
It is my fourth time coming to this restaurant. For 65$ you can feast on the best food of your life. The mushroom pizza is a must, so is the entree with the beets. The service is also incredible. I judge good service by wether or not my water ever gets empty. & it never does here. Someone will always be paying attention to your table making sure your glass is refilled. & this shows their care for your experience beyond judt water, of course. My favourite restaurant. Can't wait to come back.
Bonne ambiance, lumières douces & tamisées, peu de bruit. Pizza délicieuse & très bonne pâte à pizza style Italien. Canoli très bons. Je reviendrai. Grand choix d'alcool variées, service très bon.

Nice atmosphere & great service. The arancini was excellent. I've had better pizza for cheaper in Montreal. Drinks are very expensive. Ragu was tasty as well.
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.
We tried two pizzas while here - the Amatriciana & the mushroom pizza. Between the two, the mushroom pizza was our fave as it was a more interesting flavour profile. We also tried the Italian soda, which was orange & vanilla flavoured, I found it to just be okay. It was super busy on a Sunday evening, but it was also their special anniversary night. I felt like it was hard to have a conversation given how loud it was in the restaurant & at times hard to even hear our server. Regardless it was a good experience & the mushroom pizza would be worth coming back for.
We were a group of 7. We all got different types of pizzas. I enjoyed the funguy pizza (mushroom pizza), margarita pizza was nice too. I liked the thin, crunchiness of the crust. As an appetizer I had the Suppli al Telefono, fried risotto with mozzarella, very nice & had a good crunch to it as well. They have a good option for wine, a lot of options to choose from! Over all I had a good experience, our server was very informative & helpful!

Funguy (mushroom) pizza & ragu pasta were amazing! Perfect balance with the right amount of flavors. The pepperoni pizza had a spicy so look for another pizza if you can't handle it.
Amazing italian spot - The Mafalda al Ragù must be the best pasta dish in Montreal. Also, alot of dishes to share with friends (appetizers, pizza, salads, etc.)
A very underwhelming & overpriced pizza spot. 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.
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.
