Food & service were exceptional. Our Mullingar enthusiast waitress was also exceptional. Highly recommend here for pizza, a thoroughly enjoyable experienceView more
My first time here by recommendation of a coworker. Elena has an incredible menu. The food was excellent, we followed the advice of our waitress & ordered an entry of strachiatella carrots, then Kale Ceasar's salad, Danny Pizza. We got a great service despite the place was packed on a long weekend Friday night. Very nice & chic atmosphere.View more

Ce resto est mon restaurant préféré à vie. Tout est bien pensé, tout est parfait! Les pâtes au vin rouge sont un rêve, le service (la serveuse Lauréanne est une perle rare!) & l'ambiance font du Elena, le Elena. Si vous y allez l'été, je vous conseille la terrasse! Bref, un détour à faire si vous êtes dans le coin!View more
Très bon. Surtout la salade de kale & le ragoût classique.
La pizza saucisse & scarole est très bonne & équilibrée. Je l'ai préféré aux autres que j'ai goûté, je l'ai trouvé plus subtile. Les classiques sont évidemment très bonnes aussi.
Pour ma part, ce qui fait que je reviens c'est le mafalda al ragu.View more
Elena delivers decent food but falls short of being memorable. Out of three pastas, none stood out, the spaghetti ubriaco didn't quite hit the mark & felt like a less successful version of spaghetti all'assassina, & the genovese was overpowered by spice. The pizzas & entrées were solid but unremarkable. The wine list, based on private imports without cépage details, felt overpriced for the gamble. Desserts were fine but uninspired.
Tara & Elora's excellent service was the highlight of the night & made the visit worthwhile.View more
Very nice place, typical Montreal style. Not easy to find. Very nice Italian food with a perfect wine menu.View more
I went with my husband & we had such a great time! We went for an early dinner, made a reservation (which turned out to be the best decision), & everything went perfectly. Our waitress was incredibly sweet & gave us excellent suggestions for both the food & wine. The surprises for me were the cauliflower entrée & their ricotta cheesecake - both were amazing! We'll definitely be back.View more
The Mafalda al Ragu is the best thing on the menu 😍 They have a great wine selection. I love the ambience.View more
Had a quick bite over the weekend at the cafe as we didn't have a reservation & let me tell you that the service & the food were beyond worth it despite how busy it was. Super quick as we were headed to a show & super friendly despite the customization we have asked for. The food was fresh & yummy. Highly recommend for a date or even as group.View more
Numéro 1. Nous avons pris la pizza rosa extra stracciatella & & les Pasta Ragu & je reviendrais pour manger la même chose tellement c'était bon. Le service était amical & l'ambiance était bien. Merci pour la bonne nourritureView more
L'expérience a été globalement agréable & satisfaisante. Le service est très amical & souriant. Il faut néanmoins savoir que le service est fourni par les clients eux-mêmes l'ambiance & aussi appréciable avec la terrasse ensoleillée qui vous protège du vent. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture, nous avons essayé un sandwich du jour qui était vraiment très bon Mais nous restons Malgrétout déçu par les pizzas, elles sont plutôt petites & le fond de la pâte est détrempé par la sauce.View more
My husband picked up a marg pizza for me. He said he was told to go around in the back then in the basement to get his order... A bit strange but the pizza was nice & lightView more
One of the best restaurants in montreal! The Dany pizza is simply delicious! Definitely recommend going there!View more
