Overall, Rita draws frequent praise for delicious Italian fare with fresh, well-balanced pasta and pizza, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is described as lively, with house-made components and evolving specials that keep things interesting, along with standout items such as the potato millefeuille and stracciatella. Many guests enjoy the attentive and friendly service, but some experiences mention a busy or noisy room, moments of being rushed or pressed to leave, and occasional discrepancies on billing or wait times. The setting and decor feel family-friendly and charming, making Rita a reliable go-to for a flavorful evening, whether for a casual dinner or a special occasion, and many guests say they would return.
On Monday May 19,2025, we were there at 6:30 with 4 people, First time in Montreal. My kids dropped a folk on floor, right away, they bring you a new one with a smiling face, the food was amazing & you could taste the favours of the food. The decor, plates & utensils look clean. I would recommend this place who love Italian food, clean place with great customer service.
What a restaurant! I came with my friend Felix last week & we both fell in love with the food at this place! for starters, the service was excellent, we made a reservation for 6:30, we arrived 5 minutes early & within a few minutes we were already seated!.

Chez Rita est devenu un classique pour nous & nos quatre enfants. Nous apprécions la chaleur de l'accueil & la nourriture faite avec un souci tant environnemental que nutritionnel, sans en compromettre le goût savoureux & ensoleillé.
Merci :)
The food was... just alright! The first server was unfriendly, but the second one was nice. The ambiance of the restaurant was decent, yet it didn't quite match the hype. The menu had a variety of options, but none stood out as particularly memorable. The dessert, however, was a pleasant surprise, offering a sweet note to an otherwise mediocre meal. Despite the lackluster experience, the second server's warm demeanor made the visit a bit more enjoyable.
Ce restaurant se démarque par la qualité de son service ! Les serveurs sont attentifs aux petits détails qui font une différence sans pour autant être trop insistants. La nourriture est bonne & à un prix raisonnable pour la qualité. Finalement, l'ambiance est chaleureuse avec les photos de famille un peu partout au mur. Je recommande fortement !
There's something really homey & quirky all at the same time about this place. I really enjoyed my experience. The food is fresh & delicious. I really enjoyed the raviololotto it was amazing I definitely recommend. I also love thst the menu is constantly evolving & that there are always new choices to choose from. I will definitely be back.
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.
Très belle soirée chez Rita !
Nourriture & fraîcheur des plats !
Je recommande le tartare & les gnocchi !
Les pâtes sont très savoureuses & fraîchement préparé par Liam !
À très bientôt !

Une expérience parfaite au restaurant italien Rita ! Le service est tout simplement impeccable, avec un personnel chaleureux & attentif, même si je suis arrivée un peu en retard. Les plats sont non seulement délicieux, mais aussi magnifiquement présentés. Chaque bouchée était un régal, avec des saveurs authentiques qui m'ont transportée en Italie. L'ambiance du lieu est superbe, très bien décorée, créant une atmosphère à la fois cosy & élégante. Tout le monde est super gentil & fait en sorte que vous passiez un excellent moment. Une adresse à ne pas manquer ! (je recommande les gnoccis)
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 ! 😊
