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.

Nice room. The underlying theme is family history where Italy blends with trendy & cosmopolitan Montreal. It's a promise that owners want to provide value & a genuine impeccable experience. They master the Neapolitan pizza variations. Marie-Eve, our stewardess, strikes a perfect balance between, information, execution & respectful friendliness. Casual yet professional.

Excellent moment avec ma compagne, restaurant très raffiné, avec des recettes du jours & une carte minimaliste mais efficace (signe de grand qualité). Service impeccable, Marie-Eve a excellé dans sa performance & sa sympathie ! Je recommande fortement. Mini Bémol, le restaurant est un peu bruyant mais les plats vous feront oublier ça.

We came as a group of 4 on a Monday & it was still quite a bustling atmosphere! We had the zucchini pizza special, hot honey pizza, the mushroom ravioli & fried/stuffed morels. Every bite was fantastic & the cocktails were classic/delicious as well. Highly recommend getting a reservation. The staff were lovely.

Ce restaurant de type bistro mais à l'italienne, est très populaire & tout le temps plein. Il est donc préférable de réserver. La salle intérieure offre un belle vue sur la cuisine & le four à pizza. Sa terrasse sur la fin de Wellington piétonnière, voisin de Archway est le spot à Verdun. Les portions sont plus que généreuse. Très bonne pâte, cuite à la perfection & très bonne (photo - Upside Down). La pizza pourrait être plus petite par un ou deux pouces de diamètre, facilement. Content de ne pas être conscient des calories du plat. Le plat d'entrée Olives & Lupinis est beaucoup trop pour une personne (deux minimum, trois facile) - faudrait considérer un petit bol pour la moitié prix (6/2=3$). La salle intérieure est très bruyante lorsque le restaurant est plein vues les surfaces réfléchissante (plancher, etc), la cuisine & la musique (dansante) sur le tout. Assourdissant > 80 dBA sans doute. Quoi qu'on puisse se satisfaire de crier pour jaser, ce restaurant pourrait vraiment investir dans la sonorisation. On y voit des panneaux au plafond, mais c'est clairement insuffisant. Ce qui mérite 3 trois étoiles. Le service est très bien. La nourriture également, mais trop. Mais le niveau sonore! Ouf. J'ai hésité de mettre 3 étoiles au final.
