It's a little bit like Italy, but it's mostly Montreal. There are plenty of good reasons to visit us.

It's been a while that I really enjoyed dinner at a restaurant this much. The vibe, the food, the service was just amazing, 10/10.
Love that the menu is fairly small & a lot of the ingredients are home made. My friend & I had pizzas, a caesar salad & the home made ice cream, everything was delicious.
& a special shoutout to our waiter Yannick!!View more

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!.
Pasta & Pizza were on point! 👌🏻 I highly recommend the Verdun hot honey! lovely place! we will definitely come back soon!View more

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.View more

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 ! 😊View more

Rita in Verdun has been one of our go-to spots for the last 5 years, & it's been amazing every single time. It's hard to find a place that not only meets but constantly goes beyond your expectations, & Rita nails it. The staff, many of whom have been there for years, really care about giving you the best experience possible. You can feel their passion, & it makes the whole vibe super warm & welcoming. The kitchen team, led by one of the most down-to-earth & talented chefs in Montreal, deserves a huge shoutout. Every dish-from their fresh salads to their delicious pastas & pizzas-shows just how much skill & love goes into the food. The energy in the restaurant is contagious! you can see how much the chefs, servers, & bartenders enjoy what they do, & it totally rubs off on you as soon as you walk in. The cozy, charming dining room just adds to the overall experience, making it 1 of my top 3 Italian places in Montreal, which says a lot considering how many there are. Whether you're dropping in for a casual dinner or something special, Ritaa always delivers. Big thanks to the whole team for making every visit so great-keep it up!View more

Un restaurent que je vous recommande, pour ses bonnes pizzas, ses plats italiens & authentiques, & son ambiance décontractée. Les prix sont raisonable vu la qualité des mets, & le service est excellent. Aucune complainte à part qu'il faut leur demander de ne pas faire trop cuire la pizza, mais le gout, malgré cela était excellent.View more
Michel
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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

I have been to this restaurant a few times, it's always full even in the week days, highly recommend make a reservation before you go. The menu is small, mostly are pizza & pasta,like other italian resturants. The sauce of pasta was simple & fresh, very tasty; The crust of pizza was so thin that it's a bit super burnt. I would like to recommend their starter - Gâteau Savoureux, it's well mixed with charcuterie, cheddar & salad, perfect egg on the top of dish, brought all flavors in the mouth, amazing! About the services, depends on which waiter/waitress. Although some are in rush, they always clean the table between starter & main course, & change the cutleryView more

Morue noir très réussie. Pour ce qui est de la pizza, la pâte était détrempée, dommage.View more

My husband & I have been trying different pizza parlors wherever we go. This is one of our hometown restaurants. We made a reservation, & I recommend one, especially on a Saturday night. The restaurant was full, inside & out. They have 2 settings, & they close at 10 pm. We shared a cesar salad to start with a beer each. They don't have a huge selection, but it was ok. We then had a pizza each. I had the Pepino, which was tomatoes, pepperoni, homemade peperoncini & smoked mozzarella. The pepperoni were small circles & perfectly browned. The sauce was simple & fresh. The cheese was ever so slightly smoked, so it did not overpower the meat. My husband had the Calabrese with was Calabrian pepper cream, smoked Caciocavalo cheese, rapini & homemade sausage. I really enjoyed mine & he enjoyed his. Each was 10/12 inches. Most people can finish one because the crust was so thin, so it's not bready. The service was amazing. All staff that served us were perfectly bilingual, which was really nice. They removed the soiled cutlery & washed the table between the salad & the pizza. Bravo, guys! It was a bit expensive for what we had. Tax & tip was over $100.View more

On nous avait vanté la pizza, donc c'est ce que nous avons commandé. & nous n'avons pas été déçus! La plus originale est sans contredit la Verdun Hot Honey; je pourrais en manger encore & encore sans m'en lasser. Tout aussi notable que la bouffe, c'est le service. On ne veut pas seulement vous servir vos plats gentiment & proprement; on veut que votre soirée chez Rita soit un beau moment. On s'intéresse à vous, on veut vous faire plaisir; même la personne qui débarrasse les tables est chaleureuse & vous parle de la passion qui anime les personnes en cuisine. Alors, oui, on a passé un superbe moment! Attention : réservations de mise le weekend!View more

Cela fait plusieurs fois que j'y retourne avec des amis. Toujours aussi bon & le service est courtois. & le Raviolotto est un pur délice. Toutes les pizzas sont bonnes. J'ai déjà hâte à la prochaine fois.View more
Andrea
Was really expecting a lot because of it's previous reviews but was very disappointed - the stuffed zucchini flowers lost the flavor of the flower because of the smothering cheese & tempura batter. Salad was disappointing because of the bitter endives & the Carmela pizza was the worse! scale from one to 10 was a 2! They claimed it was pancetta - but it was 100 % bacon - béchamel was overkill on the pizza! I'll give this restaurant 2/10! Find something better on the trendy street!View more

Absolutely delicious. Service was on point, waiters were attentive & always available. Atmosphere was quaint, romantic, yet friendly for all sorts of occasions. The food was scrumptious. The pizza was a must. The Caesar salad & Buffarella were great. The tiramisu was ok, a bit too liquidy. But the olive oil cake, was a staple. Really brings back the essence of Italy, authentic, & generous portions. I would return easily. Reservations were required but it was not at all busy when we arrived. The terrasse is beautiful as the street is closed down for the summer & is quite inviting. A+++View more

Belle découverte! Accueil & service très sympathique sur la terrasse.... La pizza était très bonne mais, de qualité égale aux bonnes pizzérias montréalaises.... Nous étions 3 & nous avons pris 3 pizzas différentes... Celle aux crevettes avec bisque de homard en guise de sauce était cependant incroyable comparativement aux 2 autres... Dommage qu'elle ne soit pas au menu régulier....View more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Italian restaurant, & I must say, it was an absolute delight! The menu offered a wide array of classic Italian dishes, & everything we tried was bursting with flavor & authenticity. The pizzas were particularly outstanding! I would highly recommend trying the pizza over the pasta, although both were delicious!View more
Shahanaz
Beautiful restaurant in Verdun with amiable service. Our food arrived very quickly. The ambiance was amazing. The food was a let down. We had carbonara pasta & Lia Pizza. Pasta was well cooked but it was way too salty. Pizza was soggy due to the tomato sauce, but the ingredients were better, & sadly the crust were super burnt. We did notify the waiter about it. Overall, the experience was fun but the food was below average & overpriced.View more
Kristen
Best Italian in town, hands down. Every dish will blow your mind, I promise-I've been here multiple times & never leave disappointed. The service is always above & beyond, & the atmosphere is always buzzing. Perfect for birthday dinners, date nights, or "just because I'm craving a pizza, & it's Wednesday" kinda meals.View more
