Beautiful restaurant in Verdun with amiable service. Our food arrived very quickly. The ambiance was amazing. The food was a let down. We had carbonara pasta and Lia Pizza. Pasta was well cooked but it was way too salty. Pizza was soggy due to the tomato sauce, but the ingredients were better, and sadly the crust were super burnt. We did notify the waiter about it. Overall, the experience was fun but the food was below average and overpriced.

Ho..... Wow.!Restaurant vraiment intéressant. Le menu est court et les plats savoureux, le service est irréprochable, les enfants sont les bienvenus (j'y étais avec ma fille et ma petite-fille)... Il faut réserver, car même les mercredis soirs sont très achalandés. J'y retourne sans hésiter!Kid-friendliness: Menu pour enfants et surtout, des serveuses qui apprécient la présence des enfants! On adore!

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 and our waitress Clara attended to us as soon as we sat down. We couldn’t decide on the wine and she kindly offered us a taster.For food, we decided to have the fresh Buffarella and 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 and 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 and the filling, sauce and 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 and its texture perfectly dense yet light! Really enjoyed this as a dessert and a healthy choice to finish!Clara was extremely attentive and made the evening even better. We had an amazing experience here and would no doubt be visiting again in the near future. Thank you for the amazing service and making us feel very welcomed!

I really felt like I had to hurry to eat. It wasn't pleasant, as soon as I finished eating my plate was taken away. It was not a relaxing experience. I had high expectations. Very disapointed

I’ve been to rita twice now and wow one of my favourite little italian restaurants! The ambiance and service are perfect, but the food is excellent! Parts of the menu change with the season and I find that so fun m/ original and it’s why it makes me want to go back. A must try in verdun!

A group of 12 visited Rita for my wife's birthday. For such a large group you need to book in advance, but the process was simple and totally worthwhile. The family meal style serving of the food was lovely, everything was delicious, and it seemed like the food never stopped arriving. This was especially impressive considering the very reasonable prix fixe menu. The team took care of our food allergies with attention, and to top it all off, Sarah and the rest of the staff provided incredible service. Thank you for a fantastic meal and a great evening!A group of 12 of us visited Rita for my wife's birthday. For a group this large, you need to book ahead, but the process was easy and 100% worth it.

Rita is one of the better restaurants in town (superb food, superb service, superb dining experience), right now. Smart move on their part not to go with yet another classic Italian formula (there are many good classic Italian restaurants, already, in and around Montreal), but to inspire themselves from Italy and come up with something that is cosmopolitan and contemporary exactly like the city where they are situated, Montreal, which allows them to think outside the box when need be (even though, the core Italian flavour profiles are there, for the undistracted minds), and that is a good thing. Here’s what I found impressive about Rita: they could have walked away with some approximate Italian food with the excuse that “Hey…I already told ya that I am just a bit of Italy but mostly a lot of Montreal“, as per what they clearly mentioned on their instagram, but No…they have opted to be Italian where it should be and doing it very well. That is the kind of action that deserves high respect. Top respect! As for their Pastry Cheffe, wow wow wow (her creations taste great, superb finesse in those creations too). A gifted Pastry Cheffe. I’ll happily go back.

Best Italian in town, hands down. Every dish will blow your mind, I promise—I've been here multiple times and never leave disappointed. The service is always above and beyond, and the atmosphere is always buzzing. Perfect for birthday dinners, date nights, or "just because I'm craving a pizza, and it's Wednesday" kinda meals.
Rita is amazing, an authentic Italian food experience, I’ve been multiple times and always left more than satisfied and very pleased with the service. Shout out to chefs Erica and Joey who made our the dessert for our wedding, Rita’s amazing olive oil cake, I would highly recommend if you have room for it ;)

Love this place! The food is always excellent and I love the cozy atmosphere. It’s intimate yet still a fun place to be with friends. The menu changes often and every pasta dish I’ve had was very tasty. Can’t wait to go back!
