This place is a gem. The food is absolutely delicious, the waiters are súper kind and it’s not too loud. Strongly recommend it.

If you want to pay $40 for a very basic and tasteless food, go here!

I have hesitated to go eat there because I live in the neighbourhood, and every time I drive by, the place is always packed.

I finally decided to give it a try; the Holidays Table D’hôte was a great incentive. (58$ per person)

After reading plenty of reviews saying the place does get loud, I decided to book on a Sunday for 6 PM and sat at the bar.

I forgot to ask the bartender‘s name; but we had an amazing service.
I had 2 Espresso Martinis and Amaretto sour, both were impeccable, made with finesse.

The food was good, I was very impressed by the Duck Risotto I had because they didn’t cheap out on the duck.
The homemade focaccia & butter were excellent, the pizza dough is also really good; fluffy, tasty.

I do have to admit that the drinks outshined the food and the bartender’s friendliness and conversation made the experience better.

The place got pretty loud around 7pm; it was a full house. It was a bit warm and lighting was slightly too bright in my opinion.
The decor is very nice, personalized, I loved the warmth of the family & pets pictures around the restaurant
Too bad people steal them, since two of the frames had a paper asking people to return the stolen family pictures.. what a bummer.

I would definitely go back since they source local ingredients and everything is homemade, and the menu changes a lot.

I also would go back again at an early time and on a quiet night; a Monday and Tuesday would most likely be less busy.

The total was 210$, for 2 Tables D’hôtes & 4 drinks, which is very reasonable in my opinion.

The food was ok. Except the desert that was very, very good. The service was top nuch. This is a tiny place and the table are also tiny but it doesn't feal too crowed and the place is charming.

Although the menu has a large pizza selection, I had read that their pasta is very good. Spaghetti alla Norma was delicious, as was my friend’s risotto with duck confit. We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with the barman. A larger selection of wines by the glass would be welcome. We look forward to a return visit.

All vegetarian food. I could not follow the conversations at my table because it was so noisy and echoing. Service was average.

My friend and I went for the first time during MTL à Table. We sat at the bar. The seats we comfy and the ambiance was lovely. We shared our dishes and they all hit the spot, particularly the autumnal pizza and the eggplant with stracciatella dish. The only menu item that I wouldn't order again would be the spice cake. We will definitely go back!

The food at Rita was good, we tried a pizza, a pasta, and an appetizer, and everything was tasty, though nothing particularly memorable. The potato millefeuille, however, deserves a special mention, it was excellent.

The ambiance is cute and cozy, with more of a family-style feel than a trendy one. For one appetizer, one pizza, one pasta, two desserts, and 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 and pleasant ambiance, but the service and overall experience could definitely be improved.

I’d been wanting to try this place for a while, and I wasn’t disappointed. The menu looks amazing and it’s hard to choose. We shared the tuna tartare to start, super fresh and delicious. For mains, we had the Verdun Hot Honey pizza, which was generous and tasty, and the gnocchi in a squash mornay sauce. The sauce was incredible, especially with the stracciatella and pistachios on top. A really rich, well-balanced dish.

The downside: the gnocchi themselves were heavy and doughy, not light at all. More like dense balls of pasta, which was disappointing.

And the cocktails… we had the raspberry passion one, and honestly, it barely tasted like it had alcohol in it…maybe a drop. Pretty underwhelming for the price.

Would I go back? Yes, because the food overall was excellent.
