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.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Italian restaurant, & I must say, it was an absolute delight! The menu offered a wide array of classic Italian dishes, & everything we tried was bursting with flavor & authenticity. The pizzas were particularly outstanding! I would highly recommend trying the pizza over the pasta, although both were delicious!

Beautiful restaurant in Verdun with amiable service. Our food arrived very quickly. The ambiance was amazing. The food was a let down. We had carbonara pasta & Lia Pizza. Pasta was well cooked but it was way too salty. Pizza was soggy due to the tomato sauce, but the ingredients were better, & sadly the crust were super burnt. We did notify the waiter about it. Overall, the experience was fun but the food was below average & overpriced.

Best Italian in town, hands down. Every dish will blow your mind, I promise-I've been here multiple times & never leave disappointed. The service is always above & beyond, & the atmosphere is always buzzing. Perfect for birthday dinners, date nights, or "just because I'm craving a pizza, & it's Wednesday" kinda meals.

Rita is DELICIOUS! My mouth is salivating just thinking about the food. We had Nonna Lia's cake, the cavatelli with fresh buffarella, & the Verdun hot honey pizza (highly recommend trying the spicy oil on top!) What I really loved too, were the portions. Everything was so fresh, & not too overwhelming. It was just the right amount of food for us. Overall great atmosphere, mouth-watering Italian food, charming back story, & superbe service. I would 100% come back!

Wow wow wow! First time visiting. The polpettes, the pizza, the pasta, the desserts & espresso. Top-notch. When our server told us the special I thought he was reciting poetry to us lol (it tasted like poetry as well ✨). My partner & I spent a lot of time focused on the food, licking our cutlery clean & staring off into the distance, savouring what was one of our favourite meals of 2023. Thank you!

Nice service & atmosphere. The special of the day for the entree was really good (some potato in a cake shape). The mushroom risotto was decent. Slightly too grainy for my taste. The pizza was a good portion & was really good. Overall a really nice place to eat out.

Une excellente découverte comme resto avec une superbe ambiance! Nous étions 4 personnes avec une réservation à 19:30 & le resto était plein à notre arrivé. Environ 10 min. d'attente seulement & nous étions assis pour une belle soirée avec un repas succulent à la saveur de l'Italie & un service hors pair de notre serveur Pierre Joseph. Nous avons tous pris des entrées soit de saucisse & Rapinis & salades. Comme repas principal Tortellis à la courge & Pizza Verdun hot honey & Marinara. C'était tout simplement délicieux! Le dessert le gâteau à l'huile d'olive était tout simplement succulent & incroyable! L'ambiance du resto est sympatique & très agréable. Nous avons quitté à 22:30 après 3 heures à cet endroit & les tables étaient tounours tous occupées malgré l'heure tardive un Mercredi soir. Réservé à l'avance pour une expérience relaxante, agréable, & savoureuse, vous ne serez pas déçu.
