Elena

Everything - top to bottom was approachable, the menu was beautifully simple while allowing us to really get something each of us wanted. The servers were lovely, and the central bar design is unique! I loved the food so so much. Somehow my favourite thing we ate was the cauliflower. Cocktails were also great! What can be said other than we are in debt to those who recommended us.

We travel often and the food was some of the best Italian we have had! We have a mix of appetizers, pasta and pizza and it was all delicious. The restaurant is a bit loud but we were there at a peak time so it was very full. Staff was great with wine recommendations as well. Would go again!

I went with my husband and we had such a great time! We went for an early dinner, made a reservation which turned out to be the best decision, and everything went perfectly. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and gave us excellent suggestions for both the food and wine. The surprises for me were the cauliflower entrée and their ricotta cheesecake — both were amazing! We’ll definitely be back.

We had a group reservation so had to wait for the previous table to finish. We were starving when it was our turn. They served some fresh warm and tasty bread with olive oil. Tried the Diavolo 2.0 oven cooked pizza, was very good!

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 and felt like a less successful version of spaghetti all’assassina, and the genovese was overpowered by spice. The pizzas and 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.nTara and Elora’s excellent service was the highlight of the night and made the visit worthwhile.
