Pizzeria Moretti is widely regarded as a vibrant destination known for its delicious pizzas, fresh salmon tartare, and high quality burrata, creating a welcoming and modern atmosphere that many guests find perfect for special occasions. While the interior design and outdoor terrace are frequently highlighted as major assets, opinions on the overall experience are varied. Many diners praise the attentive and professional service provided by the staff, often describing the environment as energetic and fun, while others express concerns regarding inconsistent service standards, occasional noise levels from DJs, and a pricing structure that some feel does not always align with the value provided. Despite these mixed reports, the majority of visitors appreciate the lively vibes and tasty menu offerings, making it a popular choice for those seeking a stylish spot to enjoy a meal in the city.
My friend came to town to visit last night (July 22), so we came into Moretti William for dinner & drinks. I had been to this location once before, & had a good experience. But last night? The restaurant was probably half full, but there were about 10-12 young men standing around the bar who had somehow got a hold of the music/entertainment system & they were BLASTING the music, so loud I had to move to the same side of the table as my friend just to hear her talk. I could see the other tables looking around, too, but no staff seemed to want to acknowledge it. The young men were loud, yelling, & switching songs spontaneously/before they were done, which was very distracting. Our server was a young blonde woman who was pleasant, but clearly not interested in personalizing our experience at all. Then, at one point, we looked around for her to ask for our bill, & saw she was taking shots at the bar with the young men. I have been in hospitality myself, working in restaurants for many years, so I know of course you become friends with regulars, but there is still a level of professionalism to uphold, & that was not done with the staff last night. If there was a manager on site, he/she wasn't doing their job - if there wasn't, this service staff took advantage of being left unsupervised. I really don't mind good music or fun servers with a little buzz, but it should NEVER be at the expense of the experience of your other guests. I won't be returning to this Moretti again, especially for any sort of special occassion. That being said, food was great, so kudos to the kitchen.
Went after work, sit at the bar they welcome me the moment I came to the door & told me « welcome to the bar » felt like royalty. The bartender was so sweet & attentive. Had good conversation with her & I think was the manager in charge! Felt like I was speaking to old friend & catching up. Walk back home from my Germain spritz smiling with the rest of my Cesar salad (which is one of the best in Montreal (Cesar salad fan I've try a lot every restaurant I go to)). People are too harsh on their review & should appreciate the terrasse & good vibe of this place try the cigar lounge if you have the chance ! & yes if you don't have the budget don't go out cook at home & complain alone

I came in & stood at the entrance for about 30 seconds before a random person had to tell the staff to seat me. I chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender took my order but didn't greet me, offer water, or provide silverware, even after I asked multiple times. Despite the overall poor service, Elizabeth was the ONLY STANDOUT. She was the only one who paid attention & genuinely seemed to care. Her professionalism & kindness made all the difference in an otherwise disappointing experience. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't even consider coming back to Moretti. Surprised she isn't working as a server since she went above & beyond.
The food was ok. We ordered a burrata which was good. Pizza & pasta that had nothing special. The service was bad, a waitress & the busboy were busier with their friends than actually serving. There was another very nice waitress that even asked if everything was ok which wasn't (so thank you for that!). I think this is more a bar than a restaurant. If you're looking for real Italian food you can go to Mano Cornuto, Luciano Trattoria or Beatrice (top)❣️
Un excellent établissement offrant un service attentif & une cuisine délicieuse. La carte des vins propose une sélection variée, à la bouteille ou au verre. Les sièges près du bar sont confortables & bien espacés. Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette expérience agréable.
The service is impeccable, start to finish🙏 Exceptional dining experience! The dishes were beautifully presented & delicious. Warm & friendly atmosphere. I enjoy every bite of my meal & the staff are attentive without being overbearing. Chef Mimi always goes above & beyond with everything he does there. The bartender/ server Keylan is always on point & never leaves your glass empty. Both are always extremely friendly & kind, always with a smile on their faces. Perfect romantic setting for a special evening, or just a quick snack & drink at the bar. The flavours are authentic & the recommended wine is always perfectly matched. Generous portions & excellent value. I always leave full & satisfied. I'm always bringing friends there or ordering for take out. Highly recommend this to everyone. 🙏☺️
