It has been many years that the likable Elio and his wife Nina from the province of Avellino close to Naples have opened the doors of Restaurant Elio Pizzeria. We must say that this restaurant is not just a simple pizzeria, Elio and family offer to their North American customers typical Neapolitans Home Style dishes. During all these years, Restaurant Elio has served numerous and faithful customers. When the restaurant first opened in 1964, it had the ability to serve only 18 diners. Today, Elio and family are proud of being able to accommodate more than 700 individuals due to their two reception halls (Buffet Anna Maria). With a gentle smile, Elio and Family wish you a great home style food experience, one you won't surely forget.
Elio Pizzeria is known for authentic Italian fare with pizza and pasta that many reviewers rate as the best in town, featuring fresh sauces, a chewy crust, and generous portions at good value. The warm, family friendly atmosphere and attentive service make guests feel at home, with hospitality praised across visits. The experience extends beyond dining in, with options to take home fresh pasta and sauces, plus outdoor seating and space for gatherings, reflecting its long standing place in Montreal's Italian scene. Overall, the restaurant delivers reliable quality and a welcoming vibe that keeps guests returning.
Had the spaghetti aglio olio & fries. Portions were generous & very reasonably priced. Food was very delicious & service was great as well. Spacious restaurant, worth making a trip here if you're craving Italian cuisine!

C'est le restaurant de notre première rencontre de moi & mon conjoint que nous sommes ensemble depuis 15 ans. Depuis les rénovation WOW j'adore cela. Cuisine authentique & toujours aussi délicieuse. Nous avons même eux des chansonniers avec guitare & violon. Je suis aller avec mes 2 enfants & c'était super. Nous allons y retourner c'est sûr.
Nourriture excellente! Goûteuse, non grasse, fraîche & grosse portion! Le service était hors pair, peu d'attente (avec réservation), serveur très agréable. Ambiance super, musique pas trop forte. J'y retourne!!
J'ai choisi la Table d'Hôte du midi : Salade verte, délicieuse (8/10) & les pâtes Primavera : Très bon, portion généreuse 9/10 en plus du dessert inclus Gâteau aux carottes. Le seul point négatif, personne ne sourit dans ce resto, pas très accueillant, mais un très bon bon service puisque le resto était rempli à craquer. Je recommande ce resto sans prétention & bon.

It's always a pleasure to feel like you're welcome & at home eating with Nonna & Nonno. A casual restaurant with a variety of choices to satisfy your hungry appetite whether it's at lunch or dinner & also take out. They really put their heart & soul into everything they make. You can also buy fresh pasta & sauces to bring home. Having your meal at home with your family is another option when you have less time to dine at the restaurant. A RARE PERLE in LITTLE ITALY. A must go spot when you visit Montréal.
Visiting from Tennessee for a concert weekend (Marillion Weekend 2025), went to Diplomate Music, & was recommended Elio's. We were greeted & seated by Elio himself. Service was awesome, food was awesome, & Elio came over & talked with us for 15 minutes or so. & don't miss the Dolce De Leche for dessert! What an incredibly nice guy, excellent food, excellent service! Highest recommendation! Thanks, Elio!
Wanted to give 4.5. We shared Caesar salad, meatballs & a calamari. The ladies had pasta & I a pasta/pizza dish. It's not my favorite pizza but it's good. The pastas were delicious, appetizers as well. Cannolis were good & Tiramisu delicious. We will definitely go again. Not surprised it's been open for so long
