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.
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.
Nous étions un groupe de 11 & le service était impeccable! Le menu de groupe était dévoilé lors du souper & personne était déçu. Une belle variété de plats & un gâteau de fête personnalisé. Une mention spéciale à notre serveur (son nom m'échappe) qui a su nous offrir une expérience exceptionnelle. Merci à Isabelle & toute l'équipe pour une superbe soirée! 😊
Food & service were great, I had a good time. I had the Enzo pizza, best pizza I had in Montreal so far. Only thing is I wish it was a bit less noisy & larger in terms of space. I'd recommend 👌 🤌
This place is impossibly perfect. I want you to go find out for yourself. I was visiting from Calgary & I am still having a hard time believing how good every detail was. The service was the absolute best, so attentive & graceful. I have lived in Japan before, & it topped my experiences with great service there. The nuances of deliciousness of the flavours in the appetizers & pizzas were just perfection. I won't give away too much, go & try for yourself! Thank me later!
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 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 !
