MORETTI GRIFFINTOWN is where it all began. The exposed brick and warm lighting add to the cozy atmosphere. While pizzas fire up in the wood burning oven, the scent of truffle mac & cheese fills the air. The vibe is perfect for dinner with friends, the cocktails and wine will not disappoint.
Across the reviews, Pizzeria Moretti is described as a charming Italian spot with delicious pizzas, pastas, burrata and desserts and a warm, inviting atmosphere, though experiences vary widely with service and pacing. Many diners praise the food quality, fresh ingredients and attentive staff, while others find the service disorganized or slow and some interactions feel overly persistent or inattentive. The vibe is repeatedly described as lively and stylish, with a DJ on weekends and a vibrant energy that many guests enjoy, but the noise level is often cited as very high, making conversations difficult. Value is mixed, with some finding the pizzas fairly priced and others noting higher prices or small portions and occasional per person charges. Several reviews highlight strong drinks or wine, good desserts, and a generally welcoming first impression, yet a few report issues such as miscommunications about orders, delays, or in one case a rat was seen and the response criticized. Overall, Pizzeria Moretti delivers standout flavor and atmosphere for many guests, but consistency in service and noise management appears to be the dividing line between consistently positive experiences and more critical ones.
Host saw me struggling with the front door & my stroller & just stood there, maybe a meter away, without helping. Smile on his face like it is normal not to help & open the door. We got sat & waited a long table for the server to acknowledge us (only 4 tables in the restaurant & several servers), she wasn't nice. Stayed with empty drinks for a while before we were able to kind of flag her down. We saw her drinking wine at the bar with another customer. Priorities in this place are off, staff is not pleasant. The pizzas were really delicious, probably the one redeeming aspect of this restaurant. FYI, doesn't have any type of high chair or booster seat. You should buy one, Ikea sales some at $30, restaurants without high chairs are ridiculous
ordered pizza (first pic) a few weeks ago, asked for extra x2 fior de latte; they did great! cheese was loaded on the pizza. but (the second pic) tonight. i asked for the same x2 fior de latte & paid the extra $6.00 for it as always. & received a regularly dressed margarita pizza. kinda disappointed because i do order from here quite frequently & they never fail to disappoint when i ask for extra cheese. i don't like leaving negative reviews but i am upset about this as i paid money for something & did not receive :
Excellente nourriture vraiment, très belle ambiance intérieure ! Très déçue du service de la serveuse, mais les busboy/runner ont donné un excellent service.
Cuisine excellente- mais le service est complètement désorganisé & manque de synchronisation entre l'équipe.. c'est la deuxième fois que nous soupons ici.
Nous avons fait préparé la pizza d'avance & lors de la reception, la préparation n'était pas commencé. Manque de synchronisation dans un restaurant dans un des quartiers les plus branché de la ville.
Difficile d'avoir du service & l'hôte manquant lors de l'arrivée dans le restaurant
Came here because they had gluten free pasta & pizza dough & several great options for me as celiac. I let the server know as soon as I sat down that I am celiac & I reconfirmed what I could eat. I ordered the penne vodka with gluten free pasta, after eating several pieces realized that it didn't taste like gluten free, nor look like it. Ultimately, it was not gluten free. As someone with celiac it is really frustrating when restaurants do not take it seriously, it may not present as a serious allergy but should be taken to the same degree. Do not recommend for people with gluten intolerance, allergy, or celiac disease.
Un restaurant absolument magnifique ! Le cadre est élégant, l'ambiance chaleureuse & les plats sont délicieux du début à la fin.
Un grand merci surtout à l'hôte Achref, qui a été exceptionnel : professionnel, souriant, attentif & de très bon conseil. Il a vraiment rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter ! 👏✨

Ambiance chaleureuse, nourriture délicieuse & service vraiment au-dessus des attentes. Mention spéciale à Achref, un hôte attentionné avec un style unique & une énergie qui rend la soirée encore plus agréable. On se sent accueilli comme des habitués dès l'arrivée.
Service exceptionnel du début à la fin - je recommande sans hésiter !
Almost every time I come here, the music is way too loud. Yesterday in particular was terrible; I couldn't hear the people I was sitting with at all. It doesn't help that the music itself isn't the best. The food itself is ok, but the quality really varies.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pizzeria Moretti Griffintown, & I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. This charming Italian restaurant truly impressed me with its authentic cuisine, friendly staff, & inviting atmosphere. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with a warm & welcoming ambiance. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu & provided excellent recommendations. They ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal, without being intrusive. Overall, my experience at Pizzeria Moretti Griffintown was exceptional.
Went there for a birthday party, everything was great, staff was very accommodating, efficient & friendly. Shout out to Laurence who was able to get us exactly was we asked for.
