Stumbled upon this spot, the place was packed & buzzing on a weekday so I had high expectations... the Cesar salad was great, tried a couple of pizzas: the quality is clearly excellent but the mix of toppings didn't make a lot of sense to me... wasn't a big fan of the flavours; I would suggest to stick to classics.

Amazing dinner at Elena. Service was phenomenal. The kale cesar salad, arancini, & pizza funguy were the star of the show. Will definitely be back

Food was delicious. Service was abysmal. First let me say that the food at this restaurant is outstanding. Really lovely dishes executed well. I made a reservation for 12 for my Best friends bachelorette weekend, & recut very kind very encouraging email back ensuring that they were extremely accommodating for dietary restrictions/preferences. As soon as we arrived I informed our waiter that we had one vegan in the group & if there was a way to accommodate her in the pre-fix menu courses. She said "of course, no problem." Great! Dishes start to arrive, including a delicious ceasar salad & asparagus dish . Nothing has been modified. Ok.... Maybe they're taking a while with the vegan options. Then the pizzas came, nothing. Our vegan friend had starting eating our crusts. Then the pasta dishes, at this point it's been an hour & a half since we sat down & our friend is starving. We politely asked our waiter several different times in between courses of the vegan fooos was coming, a salad dressed with a vinegary would suffice, & they kept saying "yes yes., sorry." They sent out a complementary drink for the table to apologize, but it was half finger of Paloma or some batch chill, hardly anything. I finakky got up out of my seat & go over to the bar & say "hi you know our friend still hasn't had anything to eat & she's very hungry, where is her meal?" & the waitress said that it was her mistake, she'd forgotten to put the orders in with the vegan modification, but she'd make sure the meal was made right now. Right now? It had been hours & we'd already prodded them three times. One of my friends even said "I thought we were being annoying with how many times we asked about it!" So then our friend FINALLY gets a bowl of pasta with red sauce. Everyone else has finished eating. She's like, hurrying to finish since they have a 2.5 hour limit for big groups. Then, insult to injury, I get the bill & the prefix menu has been charged for all 12 of us, including the vegan. I take a look & say, "please remove her from this bill she didn't get to eat anything." & they agreed. But then they came Back & handed our friend HER OWN BILL! Charging her for a kid's menu $17 charge. I was floored. We had bought several bottles of wine everyone got at least one cocktail, the bill was well over $1000 & here they were trying to charge our poor friend for her pathetic meal. We insisted she not have to pay, but the waitress countered that she had comp'ed some drinks for the table & wasn't that good enough? We were silent & in disbelief & the manager came over to ask what was wrong. We finally got them to drop her charge but OH MY GOD. I've never felt more absolute disregard or a lack of care for a group. We were polite, spent a ton of money & the least they could have done was eat the $17 dollars. I think that if they're not plant based friendly, they need to own up to that fact. (Several reviews on here suggest that they've treated other vegetarians & vegans similarly) or do better. Other restaurants email beforehand to gather any restrictions BEFORE the party even arrives so that everything goes smoothly. They should consider one of these two options.

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.

La bouffe était délicieuse. Simple mais très bien exécutée. La salade César & les pâtes cacio e pepe étaient nos coups de coeur! Très bon service. Ambiance minimaliste & feutrée. J'y retournerai c'est sur!

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.)

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.
