Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Christopher Cameron

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.

    The food was incredible. Service was perfect level of present but not overbearing. Got the Kale Caesar and a Margherita and it was the perfect amt of food for two people. Wine list was awesome too. Def recommend to anyone coming to MTL.

    Overall pretty good. Some cooking issues, with almost cold sauce served on the supppli, and partially carbonized crust on one of the pizzas. Pricey for what is a pizza and pasta joint, no matter how you dress it up

    Great food - hands down!! Got taken with the wine recommendation. The wine from the list was hard to size up but the recommended bottle was the most expensive on the list - food was $125 for 3 and wine, tip and tax was $300. I will manage the budget next time.

    Food and service was great. Fun ambience but was a bit too noisy and hard to talk. Small tables are too long, difficult to have a conversation with the person across from you.

    The food and wine were fantastic—no complaints there. The service left a lot to be desired. First we waited 15 minutes for our table to be ready. Then when the food arrived, 5/6 of our dishes arrived at approximately the same time, but one friend was left waiting another 10 minutes for their pizza. By the time everyone could eat our food was cold.

    I've been wanting to try Elena for a while now and finally got around to it. They are more than just pizza (although their pizza is outstanding). For our family of four which includes two adult boys, we would've been fine with the three pizzas and two salads we ordered. But we were curious about the menu and so we also tried the polpette (yum) and had two desserts (double yum). The restaurant was buzzy but not so much that you couldn't hear the person you were talking to. We will definitely go back!
