Rita

It's a little bit like Italy, but it's mostly Montreal. There are plenty of good reasons to visit us.

Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Rita describe a warm, inviting Italian spot with a focus on house-made dishes and fresh ingredients, where pizzas, pastas, and imaginative twists are repeatedly praised for flavor and quality. The atmosphere is repeatedly called cozy and charming, with a lively, family-run vibe that many enjoy, though the space can get noisy when busy. Service is often described as friendly, attentive, and capable, with several outstanding mentions of helpful staff, while a minority of reviews note moments of rushed pacing, pushiness, or inconsistent attentiveness. While value is generally seen as fair and meals frequently described as generous and satisfying, some readers point to occasional pricing surprises or a less satisfying takeout pizza. In short, Rita is often recommended for a delightful dining experience with strong dishes and a welcoming vibe, with a few caveats about noise, service rhythm, and occasional menu hiccups.

Fantastic dining experience at Rita tonight. The food & service were amazing, & the place is really cozy, not too loud, not too big, not too small.
Highly recommend the heirloom carrots for a starter, & the mushroom pizza was a master class on the joy of simplicity. Even their signature pilsner was delicious. I will be back soon, & often!

Excellent food: everything tastes perfectly delicate & balanced, & is absolutely delicious.

Excellent atmosphere: I love all the family photos, & the noise of jolly conversations & cutlery clacking puts you immediatley in a good mood.

Excellent service: our waitress (Sophie) came at perfect intervals & handled all of our requests & questions with expertise & professionalism.

It's somewhat expensive (after tax & tip, I paid a bit over 70 bux for a starter, a pizza, a glass of wine & a dessert), but you get what you pay for, which can't be said for many fancy restaurants in Montreal !

Delicious food !

Service was top of the line & we've been WAITING to be impress. Feels like the last few years have killed the resto business & also customer service but here, here you are treated like ��

We arrived no reso on a full Thursday evening let the hostess ur # & got a call back 20mins later !

We had the burrata /eggplant, grrrreat, capaccio, ceasar & spicy pizza. Good timing from the kitchen, tasty cocktails (had a gin pepe 🍸) & quality of ingrédients ��

Wellington has lots to offer but I will definitely come back for the rest of the menu.

Merci à Chloé pour cette merveilleuse experience !

Food was excellent (especially the pizzas) with seasonal touches & service was outstanding. This was the 3rd time I've been & it was even better this time.

C'est dommage de se faire presser lorsque la facture est dans les $$$. La salade est bonne. Risotto assiette trop petite. Croûte à pizza dure bref over rated!
