Elena's provided food for 40 people for my daughter's bridal shower. They made good recommendations on quantity and serving for the outdoor event. The portions were very generous and the quality was fantastic. I ordered pasta salad, three sandwich platters, fruit salad, anti-pasta tray with marinated veggies and a separate tray of meats and cheese, and Tiramisu for dessert. I'm not a fan of most pasta salads but so many guests were wowed by it that I had to try it. Absolutely the best I have ever had. Everything was eaten. All was packaged and presented very well. Mario and his sisters are so very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back for more.
Just found this place. You will not be disappointed with the food, service nor prices. Mounds of food given, I ordered the meatball sandwich with provolone and an Italian sub (both pictured here). They taste as good as the look. I rarely give anyplace a 5 star but this place takes the cake. There is limited seating inside, just a couple tables and hard to find from Lake street, it's tucked away. True Italian deli! Update 11/2/17. Website and front door says they close at 5pm. At 4:30pm doors were locked no one around. Too bad, loss of one star.
I learned about this restaurant from a coworker and decided to give it a shot. I ordered the Salvatore sub and a pasta salad, and I have to say, everything was amazing—definitely the best sub I've had in a long time. My only small complaint is that there could have been a bit more meat, as it was somewhat eclipsed by the fantastic cheese, sauce, and spices. That said, the meat itself was one of the best cuts I've ever had. They also surprised me with a complimentary lemon cookie, which was a lovely gesture. I'll definitely be returning!
I heard about this restaurant from a colleague at work and decided to try the Salvatore Sub with pasta salad. Everything was absolutely phenomenal—easily the best sub I've ever had. My only complaint is that there was a bit too little meat, which was somewhat overshadowed by how amazing the cheese, sauce, and spices were. However, even the meat itself was among the best I've ever tasted. They also gave me a complimentary lemon cookie, which was delicious. I will definitely be returning!

I visited their booth at the 47th Annual Country Christmas Arts & Craft Show at Crystal Lake South High School in Crystal Lake, IL, today. The focaccia breads we bought from Elena's are incredible. Our friends also grabbed some cookies, biscotti, and Swedish Flop, and they loved them too. Although their booth was quite busy, the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be ordering from them again and again.
The sandwiches at this place are outstanding. I typically order the BLT, and it’s always made with fresh ingredients. The bread is baked fresh every time, and the bacon is cooked to perfection. I've also sampled their soups, which I highly recommend. Best of all, the prices are incredibly reasonable. I often spend less here than at Subway, but the quality is much higher.
This was possibly the best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had. Small things like balsamic on the sub AND they salt the tomatoes before putting them on makes this a truly unique sandwich worthy of the trip. In a small business park but a great find. I will be back!
We absolutely adore Elena’s! We've depended on their catering for several celebrations, and the food is always delicious. Our guests constantly praise it. The quality is outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get!
