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.
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 went yesterday. Beautiful decor. My second time & my last. We were 12 people. The food was great! No complaints about the pizza & gnocchi. They were amazing! However, the oysters were tiny. Not worth the price. A glass of wine starts at $18. Not reasonable for 6 ounces. Main negative point…the decibel level of the music was between 90 & 100. We weren't at a concert!!! Not pleasant at all & I won't be going back because of that as you can only talk to the person next to you. It's really too bad. P.S. your employees will have hearing problems in the future if they work too long at your restaurant. Why so loud? Not appropriate for a meal. & the music choices, not so great except after two hours of hearing what feels like the same song playing over & over.
Trashy service. We were asked 3 times by three different waiters if we wanted 7'50$ water. We did. But only got it aster asking a 4 time
Sexy waitresses is the priority here . Which I wont complain about.
36$ for caccio e Pepe gnocchi, what a mistake. The sauce was dry & all you tasted was that scoop of truffle paste . I thought they'd do it well there since it's a simple sauce. But not easy to master
Pizza seems properly done I must say & a better value
Music is crazy loud ,forget speaking to someone 2 seats away
Food & drink was good, music is really fun. Our server was indifferent to us & seemed a bit put out to do her job. The people (men) bringing food & refilling water were exceptionally friendly & attentive. We were initially seated in a back corner behind a pillar & I asked to be moved, which they accommodated. I guess we didn't have the right vibe for the prime spots.

This place has really great interior decor. Vibes are super nice, there was a DJ playing & the music was awesome. The food was delicious we ordered the Morettini pizza as well as the calamari & shrimps appetizer. We also ordered margaritas which were really good. The service however was okay. The waiter asked us when we finished our water bottle if he should bring another one or we won't be drinking anymore? Which we found was weird. Also, my boyfriend literally had a bite in his mouth & the waiter took his plate away. It was just a weird interaction but otherwise we enjoyed our dinner.
The food was good, but it was overpriced. The service was terrible by the hosts. My friends & i reserved at 8:30 & we arrived at 8:25. The host made us wait until 9:30 saying that they overbooked, but during that hour people who arrived after us got their tables. When we went to complain he said that they reserved (so did we) & that it was life, so we had to wait or go to another moretti. He did not apologize once. However, when we finally got our table, the waitress was really nice & polite, but the mood was already ruined. It's a pretty restaurant, but the music is super loud so if you're planning on having a lot of discussion maybe chose another place.

A good Italian restaurant in griffintown. Everything we ordered was tasty. A bit pricey though. Friendly service. The only issue was music was a bit too loud & it's difficult for us to talk. Wonder if lunchtime is better in that regard.
Pizzeria Moretti is a beautiful restaurant nice decor great service nice atmosphere good music.Friendly staff.I had a Pizza Parma & it was very good just right my friend had a Pizza Margherita & he enjoyed it too.They have an excellent wine selection but a bit expensive.There espresso coffee is very good I also had Raspberry Gelato & it was excellent they make it there.We will certainly return soon.
We celebrated my partner's 45th birthday at Moretti, & it was a great success! Our group of 35 enjoyed excellent service from the staff, who managed everything efficiently while still allowing us time to relax. The food was plentiful & delicious, & the vibe & music were great. Thank you so much to the staff for making it an amazing experience!

We had a lovely dinner at Moretti last night. The Calamari & Pizza Griffintown were delightful, & the restaurant had a decent wine list to complement our meal. The service was friendly & efficient, which added to the overall experience. However, the only downside was the DJ, who was way too loud. It was difficult to hear each other over the music, which was a bit overwhelming. Despite that, we enjoyed our visit & would return for the delicious food & great service.
Although the inside is very beautiful, the music is way too loud for conversation. The tables are way too close to each other. You have people constantly passing by & rubbing against you as you eat
The pizza is salty. The chicken is bland. Overpriced food. They charge for water
