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.

If you want to pay $40 for a very basic & tasteless food, go here!

I have hesitated to go eat there because I live in the neighbourhood, & every time I drive by, the place is always packed.

I finally decided to give it a try; the Holidays Table D'hôte was a great incentive. (58$ per person)

After reading plenty of reviews saying the place does get loud, I decided to book on a Sunday for 6 PM & sat at the bar.

I forgot to ask the bartender's name; but we had an amazing service.
I had 2 Espresso Martinis & Amaretto sour, both were impeccable, made with finesse.

The food was good, I was very impressed by the Duck Risotto I had because they didn't cheap out on the duck.
The homemade focaccia & butter were excellent, the pizza dough is also really good; fluffy, tasty.

I do have to admit that the drinks outshined the food & the bartender's friendliness & conversation made the experience better.

The place got pretty loud around 7pm; it was a full house. It was a bit warm & lighting was slightly too bright in my opinion.
The decor is very nice, personalized, I loved the warmth of the family & pets pictures around the restaurant
Too bad people steal them, since two of the frames had a paper asking people to return the stolen family pictures.. what a bummer.

I would definitely go back since they source local ingredients & everything is homemade, & the menu changes a lot.

I also would go back again at an early time & on a quiet night; a Monday & Tuesday would most likely be less busy.

The total was 210$, for 2 Tables D'hôtes & 4 drinks, which is very reasonable in my opinion.

All vegetarian food. I could not follow the conversations at my table because it was so noisy & echoing. Service was average.

My friend & I went for the first time during MTL à Table. We sat at the bar. The seats we comfy & the ambiance was lovely. We shared our dishes & they all hit the spot, particularly the autumnal pizza & the eggplant with stracciatella dish. The only menu item that I wouldn't order again would be the spice cake. We will definitely go back!

Très bon resto! Vaut le détour !
J'y suis allé pour l'occasion de Mtl à Table & c'était top ! L'ambiance est vraiment sympa, avec une architecture très amenante & invitante. Le volume sonore est très correct & la musique de bon goût.
Les entrées proposées sont succulentes & surtout l'aubergine & sa straciatella. un délice!
Les polpettes, la focaccia & le thon (un peu trop de jus à mon avis) sont aussi très bon.

En plat, la pizza Automno, cuite dans leur four à bois magnifique, est délicieuse & la base Mornay se sent très bien, mais l'ajout de petit piment apporte un plus à ne pas délaisser! (peut-être à revoir la place de la sauge qui n'a pas un goût très prononcé)
Le rigatoni & macreuse de boeuf sont très bon aussi, mais ce n'est pas des pâtes fraîches. (un plus qui ferait toute la différence)
Par exemple, je ne reste pas indifférent face aux desserts proposés; la tartelette est effacée par la chantilly ajoutée par-dessus, & le gâteau aux épices d'automne est moins ferme qu'attendu & donc atypique, mais très bon.

Le Rita est définitivement un resto auquel je retournerai vu la qualité de la nourriture & du service - la serveuse à été très agréable & de bon humeur.
