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.
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.
Just sooo good! We ate in the "walk in" part of the resto & the vibe was still really nice, service was amazing & food came insanely fast. We ordered a pizza, the ragu & cannolis - everything was 10/10. I'm def returning for more!
Had to wait an additional 30mins even though we had a reservation... but this isn't always the fault of the restaurant. Made up for it with free appetizers which was nice. Food was good
Nice restaurant, some of the apps are a bit on the sour side. Natural wine list if you're into that. Pizza is good not great. Amatricana only had guanciale on two slices. Service is a bit odd, I think maybe our server didn't like us. Charged us $2 for a cup of hot water. Also didn't bring us the food we asked to take home. We had to get up to pay because our server disappeared.
I'm supposed to be on my diet but their pizza is so good that I still eat 2/3 of it. It may not be in the centre of the city but the food is definitely worth a trip

Loved the bar seatings. Didn’t feel loud. Best pizza in Sud-Ouest. Pasta pretty good too. Perfect drinks. Great wine list. Don’t skip dessert! Worth every penny. Service & attention was A+. Want to go back already.
Very good pizza! Love the ambience & vibe of the restaurant. Casual & cozy with great food & drinks. Very good spot for a date or for a small group of friends
Great food, great atmosphere. Really fun restaurant with delicious food in a not-uptight kind of place. Peppers were phenomenal & the mushroom pizza is something I would want as a last meal.
Delish! We did the “share” menu as there was a lot of us. It was a good way to try a lot of the dishes, however there was just enough food for everyone. Could’ve eaten a bit more but it was all really good!
We visited Elena for a Saturday night dinner on a trip to Montreal from the US. This restaurant had an upscale vibe but the prices were quite reasonable. Bilingual staff were wonderful, quick to accommodate our party of six & to offer menu & wine recommendations.
The food was delicious, high quality, & expertly prepared & garnished. The pizzas are a bit larger than "personal sized" & we shared four between our group plus appetizers.
Excellent service, fantastic food, & great atmosphere. Highly recommended & we can't wait to return.
The fried risotto was amazing. The red wine pasta was good as well. The fungy pizza was good too. Nothing amazing I’d give 4 stars. The spot is really nice though.

Visited Restaurant Elena (specialty pizza) on Dec. 13, ordered Proseco & was given Champagne by our waitress Ann. We were not told they did not have Proseco. Realized once at home we were charged $160 for Champagne which was not even on their menu. Called the restaurant that same night & left a message for the manager. Elizabeth the manager called back the next day. She was not very polite or supportive, I therefore asked to speak with the owner Ryan Gray from Nora Gray & new restaurant Gia in Montreal. Elizabeth left a message later that day offering a refund of $85 plus $17 tip on the bottle. I accepted the offer. After several calls since the offer, no one has returned any calls NOR have I received any refund to date (Dec. 29). You would think customer service is important however, clearly it is not when the MANAGER & OWNER himself doesn't care to return their calls or keep their word. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!
