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

Great atmosphere & service. That is definitely a plus. Giving 3 star for lack of flexibility on the menu. If you are a vegan or on a low carb nutrition - you have 2 basic salads at most to choose from. I rarely have issues finding things on the menu that I would be able to eat. But this was the first case where I couldn't, unless I eat something I should not be eating to maintain my balance. Otherwise - great cosy place & would definitely recommend.View more

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.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

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.View more

This wasn't my first time at Rita but it is for sure my last. The food quality has declined & the service staff are rude for no reason. I would absolutely not recommend sitting at the bar, the bartender's bad vibes & scolding, take the stereotypes too far. I want to feel I'm welcome. Choose another place, Montreal has so many.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

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

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

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

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!View more

Rita is DELICIOUS! My mouth is salivating just thinking about the food. We had Nonna Lia's cake, the cavatelli with fresh buffarella, & the Verdun hot honey pizza (highly recommend trying the spicy oil on top!) What I really loved too, were the portions. Everything was so fresh, & not too overwhelming. It was just the right amount of food for us. Overall great atmosphere, mouth-watering Italian food, charming back story, & superbe service. I would 100% come back!View more

Food & service were great, I had a good time. I had the Enzo pizza, best pizza I had in Montreal so far. Only thing is I wish it was a bit less noisy & larger in terms of space. I'd recommend 👌 🤌View more

Fantastic dining experience at Rita tonight. The food & service were amazing, & the place is really cozy, not too loud, not too big, not too small.
Highly recommend the heirloom carrots for a starter, & the mushroom pizza was a master class on the joy of simplicity. Even their signature pilsner was delicious. I will be back soon, & often!View more
