Digestifs:
Elena was created by the same team behind Nora Gray and just recently opened on Notre Dame O. They serve more casual eats in a brighter and more open space than their counterpart. A lighter version of a classic caesar salad, the kale caesar with tahini dressing, is a must. But with a doughy crust and thin base, the pizzas are the star of the show (unless you’re into a thinner and crispier slice). The cannoli were decadent and the wine menu features unique natural and orange wines. If you’re seeking a cozy, yet chic vibe with great food – Elena is the spot. They also do brunch, but I have yet to try and will report back once I do!
