About

Rita focuses on the preparation of authentic Italian cuisine with a specific emphasis on traditional pizza-making techniques. The kitchen utilizes high-quality imported flour and locally sourced seasonal ingredients to construct pies characterized by thin, blistered crusts and balanced toppings. Each dish follows classic flavor profiles, avoiding unnecessary fusion elements to preserve the integrity of regional Italian cooking traditions. The interior environment features a minimalist aesthetic that highlights an open hearth where the intense heat of the wood-fired oven dictates the cooking process. Patrons encounter a direct culinary approach where the texture of the dough and the acidity of the tomato base serve as the primary markers of quality. This establishment maintains a focus on the fundamental elements of Mediterranean baking while ensuring consistent output across every individual serving provided to guests.

Une cuisine lumineuse, un service à contretemps!

Dès notre arrivée chez Rita, on est immédiatement charmés par l'odeur réconfortante d'une vraie cuisine italienne. Le décor est soigné, actuel, l'ambiance vivante, & notre groupe de six était enthousiaste à l'idée de découvrir cette adresse recommandée par Curieux Bégin.

Dans l'assiette, rien à redire : les gnocchis à la stracciatella étaient absolument divins, fondants, savoureux, parfaitement équilibrés. La pizza Verdun hot honey a aussi été un coup de coeur. Les plats du jour, quant à eux, nous ont semblé moins inspirés & nous ont déçus, mais la cuisine principale est solide & bien maîtrisée.

Malheureusement, le service a entaché notre expérience. Si notre serveuse principale était attentionnée & professionnelle, l'agitation autour de nous a vite pris le dessus. Plusieurs serveurs ont tenté de retirer nos assiettes avec insistance alors que nous mangions encore. Un serveur a même nettoyé la table avec un linge à produits pendant qu'une personne de notre groupe mangeait encore… & ce, avant 22 h, dans un resto encore animé. Nous avons senti que ce n'était pas tant qu'on voulait nous faire partir, mais plutôt que le personnel semblait pressé d'en finir avec la soirée.

Nous étions venus pour partager un bon repas, à notre rythme, dans la convivialité. & c'est là où Rita a manqué de délicatesse.

Cela dit, la cuisine est excellente, l'endroit est charmant & le rapport qualité-prix très honnête. On y retournerait volontiers pour les plats, en espérant un service plus respectueux du moment présent.

Un must de Verdun. Minimum 3-4x par année. Les pizzas & pâtes sont excellentes. Belle ambiance, belle sélection à boire & bon service. They don't miss!

Une superbe expérience, que je recommande fortement.

Le service était irréprochable. Notre serveuse a su nous guider à travers le menu en nous expliquant les plats de façon à nous faire saliver. C'en était presque poétique.

Entrée de stracciatella avec tomates ancestrales fraîches, sur un coulis de pesto. Rafraîchissant & délicieux. Nous avons agrémenté cette excellente entrée avec un extra de foccacia maison toute aussi savoureuse.

Pizza par la suite, style napolitaine. Tout simplement exquise avec des ingrédients frais. Les plats de pâtes fraîches maison semblaient tout aussi succulents. Un choix déchirant à faire entre les deux.

& un bon dessert choco noisette décadent pour terminer le tout.

J'y retournerai assurément, lors d'une prochaine visite à Verdun.

It's been a while that I really enjoyed dinner at a restaurant this much. The vibe, the food, the service was just amazing, 10/10.
Love that the menu is fairly small & a lot of the ingredients are home made. My friend & I had pizzas, a caesar salad & the home made ice cream, everything was delicious.
& a special shoutout to our waiter Yannick!!

Rita pizza not at all tasty take out. Base burnt & inedible near outside in many places & dough quite dry. Olives very strong & salty, whole olives dropped on not pieces. Tomato'sauce' like squirting fresh tomatoes with little flavour onto the base. Minimal cheese.
No option to add anything!! Not worth $18 for 12 inch. Dine in much better according to friends.

Rita est un excellent restaurant/pizzeria. L'ambiance est chill & cosy. La musique peut être un peu forte, mais ça reste acceptable.

Le service est très bon, mais surtout, leurs pizzas sont excellentes ! Certes, les prix sont légèrement plus élevés que dans une pizzeria classique, mais la qualité est largement au rendez-vous.

J'y suis allé deux fois, & deux fois je me suis régalé ! 😊
