We celebrated my birthday at Rita with my family, & it was truly a memorable evening. The food quality was outstanding from start to finish.

We started with a lovely pairing of white & orange wine, alongside the Burrata Fresca della Fromagerie al Fuoco, a fantastic dish made with eggplant & cheese that I'd highly recommend to everyone. The Caesar salad was also a great choice to start the meal.

For the kids, we ordered pasta with tomato sauce, & it was wonderful to see that Rita offers kid-sized portions, such a thoughtful touch for families.

Our server, PJ, took great care of us throughout the night. One of the best surprises was learning that the chef prepares special off-menu dishes every day, brought out personally by the servers. We tried one such pasta dish that I unfortunately don't remember the name of, but it was absolutely amazing & the chef even served it to our table himself.

For dessert, we had the affogato, chocolate mousse, plus another off-menu special: a croissant with roasted peach & a special cream. Mouthwatering doesn't even begin to cover it.

Overall, an exceptional experience from the food to the service. Do yourself a favor & go! 😊

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.

This place is always full! I often pickup for takeout but finally took the time to make a reservation. Great service, buzzing atmosphere & excellent food / wine options. I could eat the olives by the handful... so delicious 🤤
