After a trip in Italy, I've become a not-so big fan of local (Montreal) Italian food because I found it does not provide good value for the money (compared to Italy), but I was extremely pleased with Elio Pizzeria. Phone reservation went without a hitch and the tables were ready as expected. The service was lively, prompt and efficient. The food portions were impressively large (entrees, as well as the pizza-pasta combo). The food was delicious. The dining room was clean and modest. The prices were better than I expected for the portion sizes. Elio Pizzeria is easily accessibly via Metro. Again, I'm genuinely impressed and now a big fan of this place for groups of friends.
