My husband really wanted to try St Rita’s after reading about it in the local Glebe newspaper. It’s a really cute restaurant, has a homey vibe. The food is simple, has that comfort coziness like Nonna made it, but with some elegance. The kids enjoyed watching the cook make pizza behind the counter, as he was flipping the dough. It’s brick oven pizza, very well made. The dessert choices were amazing, I loved the tiramisu! Good family friendly or just a date night restaurant!
On our list of restaurants we love to eat and drink at. The ambience is warm and cozy. The service is attentive and welcoming. The food is always fresh and flavourful. And, the cocktails are divine. Highly recommend. Not pretentious but honest fresh food and drinks in a comfortable and warm local.
Treated terribly and unprofessional unorganized staff.
Went tonight with my partner and the food, vibe and service was 10/10. Highly recommend checking them out.
Came here looking for Italian food for our date and found St. Rita by chance.
Even though we didn't make a reservation they fit us in (even came to get us outside when we were initially told they were full). We had meatballs as an entree (highly recommend) and shared a gnocchi gorgonzola cream plate and lamb ragu. Five layer chocolate cake for desert. Everything was perfectly cooked and prepared and the service was super nice.
Highly recommend if you're looking for Italian food. Will not be disappointed.
The pizza is amazing. Mel was our server, she was extremely polite and her service was amazing! Highly recommend this place. I will be back tomorrow!
Perfect Anniversary Dinner - Best Italian Since Moving from the UK!
We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary at St Rita. Having moved from the UK, we've struggled to find truly great Italian food in Canada with good vegetarian options – until now! Having eaten many meals across Italy, we can confidently say this restaurant serves food that tastes incredibly authentic, easily the best we've had this far from Italy. The house-made pasta, gnocchi, and dough were highlights, and frankly, everything was spot on.
The service was equally impressive; the staff were amazing and made us feel instantly welcome, like we were regulars.
My only small suggestion would be improving the tiramisu, but it was a tiny note in an otherwise 10/10 experience. Fantastic food and incredible service. We'll definitely be back!
Waitress Nora(sorry if I mispell/misheard your name) is the best! You can tell she truely cared about the customers and loved the work environment. The pizza and mains were absolutely amazing. The portions were perfectly. The atmosphere was aesthetic, romantic, but also perf for dinner with the girls. Def recommend!!! Will come here many times in the future
We had pappardelle ragu and margarita pizza. Both were out of this world. We loved the food, service and ambience. It was pricey but worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant.
One of my favorite places. Always at the top of my list for an occasion. Food is stellar. I highly recommend the Diavilo pizza. Great wine selection, and a mean cocktail as well. The vibe and service is always unbeatable.

Come visit St. Rita, the amazing aroma greats you as you walk in the door like a warm hug on a cold day.
The Marinara has a depth of flavour that keeps you coming back for more.
The staff is wonderful, ask Sydney to make your espresso martini, you can’t go wrong.
Delicious every time!!
Great food (appetizer, pasta, salad, pizza, dessert), exemplary service, especially in dividing up food portions to accommodate our preferences. Excellent ambiance for relaxed, fine dining. We will be back!
Great tasting pizza. The size of the pizza is enough to serve two adults, or one if very hungry. Fair price for the area. Great service with a smile. The bread is made on site, and you can see the preparation of the dough a few feet away from the table.
* I recommend the Sant Antonio pizza: Loads of flavors, the goat cheese makes it less fatty but extra flavorful.
Great food! Great staff! We are here right now (party of 3) and I hoovered my pasta. Waitress was so sweet and met our every need. Great job team!
The food was ok. The ragu was a little dry and the burrata was bigger than the 1 piece of bread it came with, making it hard to share.
