Very slow service. Arugula salad was mostly a bowl of arugula, under dressed, and needed more of the pears, nuts, cheese etc. Margherita pizza was OK. Asked for plain black tea but was told they didn't have any.

Friendly - and witty - staff that happily accommodated our short window of time to dine and expedited our table service with great attentiveness. And to finish off the meal, THE ABSOLUTE BEST CAPPUCINO AND TIRAMISU I have had in YEARS! Will definitely be dining at Pizzeria Libreto again! Cheers

Excellent gluten-free pizza crust! The best in the city. So good, I asked the server twice if it was really GF. She's also GF and said she can tell by just looking at it. Well, as someone who has been GF for 15 years, I was amazed. Thank you and see you soon :) FYI done in the same oven as regular pizza for the Celiacs.
