We travel often & the food was some of the best Italian we have had! We have a mix of appetizers, pasta & pizza & it was all delicious. The restaurant is a bit loud but we were there at a peak time so it was very full. Staff was great with wine recommendations as well. Would go again!View more

We were seated at the bar. Bartender who also took our orders was very attentive, friendly & explained the menu well. The restaurant itself has very dim lighting with minimal decoration. Trendy yet simple. We ordered the supplì, Dante salad, beet with stracciatella, diavolo pizza & the special pasta of the night which was ravioli stuffed with butternut squash in a butter sage sauce. For dessert we got the olive oil cake which was super moist! All tasted great but i wasn't blown away either. Very basic italian dishes. Service was great & did not feel rushed. Not sure i would go back just because the menu didn't make me curious for more.View more

My experience began with the reservation platform giving me an error message for 20 min & then we called. Called no answer but we got a call back. We didnt ask where we would be seated because we didnt know the layout of the place so we ended up being placed at the bar .... by the door ( ....so ask ). The kale ceasar salad was great with a mountain of parmesan cheese & the right amount of dressing . Now for the pizza our choices were diavolo 2.0 & the funghi ; for me the tomato sauce was too watery the meat didnt have as much flavor or kick as i wouldve expected from a diavolo so the whole thing fell through but i really enjoyed the funghi that had the flavor of the mushroom & parmesan collide in harmony, i will add that the crust was perfect in both. The pasta ( all'amatriciana) was average at best ,with so many good italian restaurants in the city unfortunately this one did not bring it home for me, the guanciale was burnt & again the sauce was watery. The dessert : Gateau au Chocolat , is a brownie texture shaped into a cake slice topped with ice cream , good but maybe heated ? The service was good & the staff was knowledgeable & at your service , simple & effective. Overall not a bad experience but will i go back ? Maybe , hopefully to have a better culinary experience that would be up to the hype. Food 3 | Service 5 | Atmosphere 4View more

Great place for pizza & drinks. Food: delicious variety of Italian pizza, with a few unique twists. The chocolate cake dessert was surprisingly scrumptious. Drinks: well prepared. Presentation is top. Great selection of wine too Atmosphere: cozy, romantic, & touch of rustic. Service: all staff were very attentive, respectful, & professional. Excellent service Will come back for sure. Did not wait long to be seated without a reservation but recommend reservingView more

Really nice Italian restaurant, the pizza was cooked perfectly & with quality ingredients, wasn't sure about the corn ravioli but they turned out amazing. Cannoli were also really good, overall a great dining experience, price above average but reflects the food & the service!View more

Elena is one of the best Italian restaurant in the city. Every dish that I have tried there has been wonderfully tasty, with notable personal favourites being the mushroom pizza, the suppli (fried risotto balls) & the meatball appetizer. The service is absolutely great. When we had to wait for our table despite having a reservation, they brought us an appetizer on the house which was a very appreciated gesture. They also were very accommodating for my friend with celiacs, & were able to modify some dishes like the meatballs to make them gluten free for her. The vibe & decor are also just really nice. Will be back again & again :)View more

Great Italian restaurant for both dine in & take out. Everything from the appetizers, pizzas & pastas were delicious. The staff was also very friendly & accommodated different dietary requirements such as pregnancy & vegeterian. The administration was also very kind to help us with group booking with reasonably priced set menu. They also accommodated by my newborn infant of 5 month in stroller. Highly recommend !View more

Clean, sleek atmosphere. Warm, friendly service. The food was well done, but not too notable in comparison with other Italian places in the area.View more

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.View more

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.)View more

This restaurant was a complete disappointment. We had to wait 15 minutes to be seated, even though we had a reservation. What was worse was that when finally seated, the hostess sat the three (3) of us at a table for (2). One of us had to sit at the end of the table like a child in a high-chair. When we complained, there was no apology. The hosting staff leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress, however, made up for the bad hosting service & was superb. The table was far too small for a group of three, causing food to fall around the table. The suppli were good, but the remainder of the food was sub-par. The cavatelli pasta dish was oily & overly salty. The tagliatelle were fine, but again, nothing special. There are plenty of better options for good Italian fare in Montreal.
