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.

    From the first moment I walked in, I was greeted with such a smile and so warmly. That was wonderful! Went on Valentine weekend so thought it would be crazy but instead was so well run. The service was amazing and attentive to the core. Our server was just so great and gave us so much information and suggestions. The attention to details and service was perfect! Oh and the food 11/10!!! Delicious and definitely worth it!! Coming back soon!

    The pizza is definitely worth the detour! It’s no wonder they’ve become an icon, even after seven years in business!

    Had a great time catching up with friends at Elena. It's casual, yet elevated. Ordered the Funguy pizza, fried risotto balls, kale caesar, and the carrot appetizer. Everything was delicious. Vibes were amazing. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.
