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.
Restaurant is not only food & decoration... is a lot about service & that is what they don't have there. I am not coming back & i won't recommend it. Waitress was rushing us all night & at the end she asked that the manager needed the table when was nobody waiting & several empty tables were available. Washroom gross & disgusting even though we were the first customers of the evening
Food ok but overpriced
The bathrooms disgusting even if they just opened
The waitress was pressuring us to leave even if we were eating dessert & finally she said that the manager NEEDED the table; there was nobody outside waiting & our section was half empty!!!!!!
AWFUL SERVICE!!!! Total disrespectful!!!!

We made a reservation, & showed up & was greeted by the owner, & was told that "this is a place where you need to buy more than a salad." Us having a party of 8 was appalled by this greeting but having no where else to eat we stayed. the food was very good, but the service was disappointing. I will not be returning.
EXTREMLY Rude manager/owner! We went there to make a reservation as they don't answer the phone. The owner told us that he can't do anything for us & litterally pushed us out of the restaurant! He said he's too busy for us & it's too popular. I was just so in choc! Unbelievable for an owner to give such a bad customer service ! We were very respectful & just asked if he had any spot later at night. Such a bad service! I will NEVER return there! I would not recommend to go there!
bien moi je suis aller en janvier 2018 & le repas etait super je ne peut pas manger de pizza avec gluten alors il y avait un excellent choix pour la pizza sans gluten & c etait la meilleure pizza que j ai mangé depuis longtemps & service impeccable alors je donne un 10
Service was impeccable. Always making sure not to be too far in case we needed something.
Food was excellent. We all had different plates & tried each other food & we all agreed that the pasta was delicious & best pizza I’ve had so far.
Gets busy so go early.

Patron très accueillant & personnel très serviable ! les pizzas sont ex-ce-llentes, par contre faut venir tôt pendant le temps de diner parce que ça se rempli très rapidement !
We've been here a few times so far to try & encourage a business in our neighbourhood. The pizza was good, the rest of the food ok. However, the owner was so rude to us on our last two visits, it made me feel very uncomfortable to be so disrespected. He even followed me outside, to continue arguing & yelling at us. It was so unprofessional & rude, we were baffled. I definitely wouldn't go back for that reason & l wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Un autre "wannabe bon restaurant" de Griffintown, qui met l'emphase sur le décor & sur le roulement des tables plutôt que sur la qualité de la nourriture & du service. L'ambiance est bien, mais le propriétaire/hôte est impoli & agressif avec les clients (les revues de Google parlent d'elles-mêmes...). La pizza est digne d'une chaine du West Island, mais les prix sont raisonnables.

The food was fantastic! The pizza is served truly authentic Italian style (not round, thin, cooked to perfection). We decided to make a 4-course meal out of dinner & every plate was delicious - first a homemade meatball for everyone, followed by the secondi - black ink linguine with seafood, tagliatelle with mushrooms. For meats we had the veal chop & the Italian style steak tagliata. They have a nice wine selection. Ambiance was great - spacious & well lit. Service was very attentive. My group was very happy. We are going back again soon!
