The food at Rita was good, we tried a pizza, a pasta, & an appetizer, & everything was tasty, though nothing particularly memorable. The potato millefeuille, however, deserves a special mention, it was excellent.

The ambiance is cute & cozy, with more of a family-style feel than a trendy one. For one appetizer, one pizza, one pasta, two desserts, & a bottle of wine, our bill came to about $200 including tip, which felt reasonable for what we got.

The service was okay, our server was friendly, but couldn't answer our questions about the wine list, which was a bit disappointing.

The biggest downside was being asked to leave exactly two hours after our reservation started. I know the policy is mentioned when booking, but it was the first time I've been asked to leave before even finishing my glass of wine. The restaurant was half empty, but since we were seated at the bar, we still had to go.

Overall: good food & pleasant ambiance, but the service & overall experience could definitely be improved.

We had a great experience here. The food was very good & lives up to the hype. The menu is medium sized diverse in flavors. The service is very good. Servers are working together so you are never looking for anyone. Dessert should not be skipped. The olive oil cake is incredible. I would have liked a few more cocktail options but the wine list is big. The space is get pretty & the background noise isn't intrusive so you can easily catch up & chat.

Host, waitresses, & staff were gracious & respectful. Reserved for 8:30pm. My wonderful date is a wheelchair user. Rita was exceptionally busy & the hostess graciously made room for us on the terrace. We had a delightful evening. The food, wine, atmosphere & the summer night breeze we felt we were on vacation in our own city. Thank you Rita!

We live right next to Rita & are continuously impressed by the service, the food & the overall ambiance in the restaurant. The new menu looks delicious & we wanted to order everything! We decided to go with a simple focaccia & olives appetizer, followed by the braised beef special, which was just exceptional. We added the tagliatelle & a bottle of wine recommended by our lovely waitress Marie-Ève. Overall experience is 10/10, this neighbourhood spot is charming, elegant & makes you feel like you're at Nonna's having dinner with the family.

We came here to celebrate a special occasion. Highly recommend booking as can get quite busy even for a weekday evening. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a friendly face & our waitress Clara attended to us as soon as we sat down. We couldn't decide on the wine & she kindly offered us a taster. For food, we decided to have the fresh Buffarella & Red Beets as starter alongside with bread, followed by the Raviolotto for main. The quantity is decent so this was sufficient for us. The Buffarella was very fresh, sweet & delicate, highly recommended. Red beets on the other hand, in comparison, was a little more ordinary. The Raviolotto was very well made, pasta tasted fresh & the filling, sauce & mushrooms on the side accompanied this dish extremely well. Would definitely recommend this! A word of warning, it is on the slightly heavy side. Lastly to finish, we ordered the Olive Oil Cake. This was extremely tasty, moist & its texture perfectly dense yet light! Really enjoyed this as a dessert & a healthy choice to finish! Clara was extremely attentive & made the evening even better. We had an amazing experience here & would no doubt be visiting again in the near future. Thank you for the amazing service & making us feel very welcomed!

Great food, but honestly impeccable service. Post covid its hard to find good service but these was a rare gem of truly thoughtful service. Good clear communication, constant checkin, overall very satisfied. The food itself has a feel-good sense of home cooking. & the wine selection is extensive!

Rita is by far my favorite restaurant. Why? Where do I even begin. The staff provides you with top notch service, they genuinely care & want you to have the best experience. The wine selection is amazing, I've discovered several private import wines that were outstanding. & last but not least, the food is phenomenal. You can tell that they use fresh & high quality ingredients, & the dishes are so creative but very classic at the same time.

Excellent food: everything tastes perfectly delicate & balanced, & is absolutely delicious.

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 !
