I've been going to Elio's for over 40 years. Elio's pizza used to be one of my favourites in Montreal. But the last couple of visits have been disappointing. Service remains very friendly, and the atmosphere is, well, unchanged. But prices have gone up while the quality of the food has gone down. The Caesar salad was very ordinary, and the pizza was now one of the worst I've had in years. I know Elio is no longer running the restaurant… and it shows. Too bad. That was my last vist.

Haven’t been back to Elio’s in over ten years—this is the exact spot where I took my wife when we first started dating. Coming back now with a full family, I was looking to see if the quality held up or if it had just become another neighborhood relic. The verdict? It’s a blueprint for consistency. 📍 While most spots in the city focus on 'vibe' and lighting for social media, Elio’s is still focused on the plate. The food tastes just as great as it did a decade ago. The Standouts: Fresh Pasta: The texture is perfect. The Fettuccine Mamma and Cavatelli are clearly made with the kind of legacy care you don't find in newer 'hype' spots. The 14" Vegetariana: Fresh toppings, no grease, and a crust that holds up. Service: Quick and efficient, even with a family in tow. Vibe: It’s 'cool' because it’s authentic, not because it’s trying to be trendy. As a Level 8 Local Guide, I’m always scouting for spots that value quality over marketing. Elio’s is a massive 'YES' for both nostalgia and actual taste. If you want the realest Italian experience in the area without the pretension, this is it. Order: 14" Vegetariana, Cavatelli, Fettuccine Mamma, Insalata Verde."

I would love to be more positive on this review but the reputation is way beyond the actual execution. The staff is very attentive and friendly, 10/10 for that. We never ran out of water. Unfortunately you will need allot of water because the wait times are insane, 4+ hours for 4 courses.. Maybe if I was waiting for was great food it would be worth it,but not in this case. The starters were fairly good, some calamari (not fresh but crispy and tasty). Some cold cuts with tomatoes, cheese & complementary industrial grade bread but at least it was warm. Pasta was well cooked but the sauces tasted like nothing at all. Probably the blandest rosee sauce I ever had and cannelloni were tasteless also. My main was veal parm, the veal parm is on par with any chain restaurant, the salad included was very poor. Lettuce with maybe a drop of oil, a few vegetables and coated with salt?! For this being a restaurant in little Italy it was a let down. However, I did not try the pizza but others at my table told me it was good!

This restaurant means so much to me! My dad used to take me here at least once a week as a kid and I loved it. He’s passed now, but I still come here alone in memory of him. 20 years later, the service and food is just as comforting and warm as I remember. I love their pastas and the desserts. Thank you, Elio!

I ordered a small cheese pizza well done from uber eats. The top dough and cheese wasn’t cooked through, dough was soft and the cheese wasn’t completely melted.The cheese was only on one side of the pizza. There was too much sauce and the bottom of the pizza was burnt. The dough was thick throughout the entire pizza and chewy. I received a complimentary small peice of carrot cake with my order that was verry good and fresh and it was nice of them to include, that’s why I gave 2 stars, but all I really wanted was a good cheese pizza.

THE best pizza in town! The rest of the menu is also delicious, with generous portions. A warm, friendly, family atmosphere that also has private rooms for parties. And, an upstairs reception hall for large gatherings.

I had the BEST experience with the staff here. I came in looking like a complete mess, having been locked out in the cold without proper shoes, a coat, my wallet, phone, etc. They welcomed me in, told me to stay as long as I needed, lent me a phone, and gave me a coffee. It was truly one of the best coffees I've ever had. I went back later to try to pay for it, and they refused to take my money. I can't speak to the quality of the food because I havent eaten here yet (though I can't wait to!), but i can say the staff are wonderfully kind people. Thank you so much guys <3

This is such a classic Montreal Italian joint, been around forever! Prices are great and there are musicians walking around playing violin; really a blast from the past! Vibes were more Italian than Nona's house. I don't think the pasta is homemade and I'm pretty sure the pizza doesnt use that classic Italian dough, but I'm not 100% sure so don't take my word for it and go try it out. Service was decent, food came quick, it didn't blow me away but the price makes up for it. $40 gets you dinner, desert, coffee so no complaints. Hits that Italian craving just right!

This is without a doubt the best most satisfying pizza in montreal! I highly recommend them. Between the food and the fresh pasta, sauce and tomato pizza that you can just grab in their fridge. Today I picked up 4XL pizzas..for 14ppl at the office. 14 out 14 loved the pizzas so much. Thank you Frank and the staff at Elios. Always a hit!

WAY MORE THAN PIZZA! The food and the service here are excellent. My husband had the pizza with anchovies and enjoyed it. I had the cannelloni. It was delicious. The veal dish and the fettuccine mama were also tasty. For appetizers, we enjoyed the eggplant and tomatoes with burrata. The eggplant was my favorite. We also enjoyed prosecco and some red wine. It was a lovely lunch. For dessert, we had homemade mini cannolis. Delicious! The menu is extensive. The restaurant itself is very clean. Very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Outside seating when weather is nice. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for quality Italian food.

Nice neighbourhood trattoria that's been around for a very long time. It's not fancy but it's excactly the kind of place that you need as a local neighbourhood trattoria. Good pizzas and pasta along with other options. Fast service, reasonable prices and friendly staff. What more can you ask for?

I stopped here for lunch and took the lunch menu. The service was excellent. The minestrone was perfect. They switched me in an Arugola pizza (at no extra charge) which was incredible. Quaint, unassuming, authentic Italian.
