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.
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

Would go back if we come back to Montreal. Everything was amazing & service was great! Constantly topping up our water & super attentive. Very authentic Italian food.
Un service bas de gamme sans bonjour & désagréable, une lasagne 90% pâte & 10% garniture & fromage (les couches de pâtes étaient collées entre elles), la sauce était industrielle avec peu de viande, pour 26$ c'est exagéré. Ce n'est pas la pire lasagne que nous ayons dégusté à Montréal d'où le 2, l'ambiance est moyenne.

Pizzas were so big we had to bring them back home, which makes the price really reasonable for the portions they give! Friendly staff, & pretty chill atmosphere (we went there between snowstorms). Would go again!
Nothing excitng for my tastebuds.. Missing taste, for italian cuisine i was expecting way more. I was a little disappointed by the lack of professionalism for the desserts service. It was picked up from a box & you could see they weren't homemade. House wine was okay but nothing much more..
The best authentic Italian restaurant in Montreal. Excellent food, cocktails, wine & an assortment of beer, five star service great atmosphere. If you want to impress Elio's is the place.
