Après quelques visites forts agréables chez Elena au cours des dernières années, la dernière fut plutôt décevante. Les cocktails étaient très chers, la pizza moins bonne que dans mes souvenirs, mais ce qui a vraiment rendue mon expérience désagréable, c'est que c'était notre première visite avec un bébé. Nous avons réservé pour 17h, le plus tôt possible, & avons mentionné que nous aurions un bébé avec nous. En arrivant, nous avons demandé une chaise haute. On nous a répondu qu'il n'y en avait pas. J'aurais vraiment aimé qu'on m'avise lors de la réservation ou de la confirmation. J'ai dû manger froid, avec un bébé impatient sur les genoux. Ce serait si simple de mettre une ou deux chaises hautes a la disposition des parents. & franchement, si ça ne vous intéresse pas d'avoir des bébés, il suffit de le dire aux gens qui souhaitent vous visiter. Ils choisiront un autre établissement avec plaisir. Dommage!View more
Best pizza in Montreal, they figured out how to put the perfect amount of everything on the pizza. Selection of wine is excellent as well!View more
One of the best Italian food experiences in MTL. Loved their Ravioli & Margherita pizza.Their Cannoli was great too.View more
we had the best meal of our lives at elena! the atmosphere was great, the service was perfect & our meal was amazing!! we had spaghetti, bread, anchovies & the margherita pizza. our drinks were also amazing! highly recommend this gem! we had been stalking elena for years & are so glad we made it there!View more
Super wonderful! Loved the kale Caesar & suppli - definitely the highlights of the meal. Pizza was fine a little light on the guanciale for being $26. The ragu was not what I expected a little brothy & a heavy olive oil taste but still quite good. Would definitely come back!View more
We just got our order delivered & only got half of the Industrie alla Pala (one box instead of 2), which is very frustrating. Last time we ordered from you the pasta dish was forgotten & we had to contact you then as well. We are calling the restaurant to get the second half of the pizza but no one is picking up (been 10 times since around 9:10pm). We would love to just get the second half of our pizza tonight. I've emailed you at the email address on your website but it says the domain cannot be found.View more
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.View more
Très bonne pizza. Bon cocktail. Belle ambianceView more
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!View more
Excellente pizza, enfin une vraie pizza à Montreal, seul bémol restaurant trop sombre & très bruyantView more
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.View more
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 tripView more
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.View more
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 friendsView more
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.View more
Funghi pizza is a must try, it’s delicious! Hard to get a seat here unless you reserve a spot in advanceView more
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.View more
Love this place, I come almost every week, by far the best pizza in the city & more.View more
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.View more
Fantastic backyard (skip the dining room if u can), we can bring our dog enjoy the crunchy salad & the amazing pizzas!
Go before the summer is over 😎View more
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!
Incredible wine list, knowledgeable staff, super tasty pizza.
N'allez pas dans ce restaurant. La pizza est médiocre dans l'ensemble. La serveuse, la cuisine & même la direction n'en n'ont rien à foutre... & même si les 3 pizzas sont retournées entières ... aucun geste de responsabilité de la cuisine. De plus les prix sont exhorbitants.
C'est le temps que les patrons retombent sur terre & qu'ils s'occupent un peu de la satisfaction de la clientèle.
I loved my first meal, I've already been back twice! First visit was with a party of four so we were able to sample a larger selection. Incredible pizza oven produces many delights; I've had Mushroom, Margharita & White pizzas = delish! The second visit we kept it down to just the one White pizza & we ordered the Nocco Fritto appetizer & shared a Pasta Verde as well. I enjoyed a glass of orange wine. There was a special dessert that evening called the Financier (named after it's popular shape resembling a gold bar!) Staff is super knowledgable & friendly. Comfortable seating; love the space & decor. Not your regular pizzeria but personally, I might be on MY way to becoming a regular!
Elena is truly a welcomed addition to the neighbourhood! The pizzas are fantastic! We had a great experience- the food, the wine, the staff & overall atmosphere of the space, all wonderful! Elena's is a great spot for a dinner or even just a bite at their bar.
