From the OpenTable editors: At Elena, naturally leavened dough and local ingredients come together in wood-fired pizzas that are nothing short of stellar. Though the pies steal the show, housemade pastas like mafalda al ragu are equally worthy of attention. With a strong natural wine list and a trendy setting that balances original architectural details with modern flair, it checks all the boxes for a memorable night out.

Executive chef: Christopher Cameron

    We went to Elena's for dinner on Saturday night after a concert, we had a reservation at the bar for 10:15 and got there early at 9:40 and they were able to seat us at a table with no wait at all. The service was friendly AND attentive, we were tired and hungry and nonetheless had a great experience. We would have stayed longer under other circumstances. Thank you!

    We loved the food and service, however the music was loud and with people talking it didn’t make a relaxing and quiet experience. It was also a bit cold inside and we had to dine with our coats on.

    This was a disappointing visit. Their take on a Shirley Temple was overpriced at $10. The margherita pizza was very bland and didn’t have enough cheese. The brassica felt disjointed, with every bite tasting different, and not in a good way. The kale Caesar was delicious, thought it could have used more croutons. The supplì al telefono also lacked cheese and didn’t taste very authentic. The M Fungay pizza the standout of the night. It was rich, savory, and packed with flavor. The dessert was also a miss as well. The cannoli was horrendous. The ricotta filling didn’t come together well, and the ricotta tasted spoiled. The blueberry sorbetto was basically blended frozen blueberries with sugar and needed another element. The ambience and interior were nice, but the service was subpar. Overall, it felt doesn’t live up to the hype.

    Service was excellent. Food was good. The restaurant decor was simple, but very functional. I didn't feel over crowded. I would come back again.

    We haven’t been to Elena in a while but since we always loved it we decided to come back. The food was delicious but the service was inefficient and poor yet pleasant. The greeter at the front desk was “less than”. The first impression def guides the experience. Cocktails are mini. Music a bit too loud to carry on a conversation and the lights a bit too low ti read a menu. All small fixable things. A With so many great restsurants in Montreal maybe it’s time to focus on the little things. They make a big difference!
