This place is a hidden gem, and we loved their wood oven pizza so much that we had to order a 2nd one.It's the perfect destination for a casual night out or a cozy dinner with friends and family. Don’t forget to try the tiramisu. It’s absolutely delicious!!!Joe & MariaPS looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.

Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. I had the burrata, penne puttanesca, and chocolate cake—every dish was absolutely delicious and made with quality, fresh ingredients. Staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the attention to detail in the decorative elements adds an extra layer of charm. Would come here again and again!

What a cute place with fantastic food and excellent service. We went for a friend's birthday when we couldn't get a reservation elsewhere and we were so glad we ended up here. Nora was our server and she was fun and attentive. We had some great wine, the pasta was incredible and so was the pizza. Happy we stumbled upon this place - will be back!

A group of us ate here last night for dinner, for the first time. From the apps, to the pizza, to the overall service - everything was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back soon, great spot!

We came in around 5:30 on a Saturday after an event at Lansdowne. We were greeted in a friendly manner and brought to the lovely window table. Food was excellent! Diavolo pizza was the highlight, although it was a little soggy (maybe a bit too much chili honey?) Also had the arancini and topped it all off with a delicious tiramisu and (decaf) americano.Only complaint was service was a little slow, possibly understaffed?Strongly recommend to anyone in the area who is tired of the usual Lansdowne fare!

I tried The St. Rita this weekend for the first time for my birthday and I'm so glad I did. I loved all of it - the intimate atmosphere that feels special while being warm and welcoming, the delicious food and the attentive and well-paced service. We had the meatballs and the arancini to start and enjoyed both. The arancini was my favourite of the the two dishes, (although the menu describes rice balls, but it was a single big one). Then I had the pappardelle with lamb ragu. It was a tough decision as I love wood fired pizza, but I had no regrets. Pizza will be for next time. I got to taste a bite and I'm looking forward to returning to have a whole one. The pineapple gimli was also memorable.

Finally, there is a solid pizza in the Glebe and this is the place. The pasta is nothing special but is above your average from what I have tried so far on the menue.I think the thing that bugs me a little about this place though is that there's nothing that is the iconic dish that wows you from the menue. There's nothing that stood out as the must try on first glance. Don't get me wrong though, the food is good and I will need to try the other stuff to find the go to meal from here.
