Rita

Great restaurant! Awesome food, great vibes and awesome service. Truly enjoyed my experience last night and look forward to returning!

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!

Le préféré de la famille, on a du y aller au moins 20 fois, toujours parfait 10/10

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!

J’ai vraiment eu l’impression qu’il fallait se dépêcher pour manger. Ce n’était pas agréable, aussitôt que je finissais de manger on m’enlevait mon assiette . Ce n’était pas relaxant comme expérience . J’avais des hautes attentes. Très déçue

Un groupe de 12 personnes a visité Rita pour l'anniversaire de ma femme. Pour un groupe aussi nombreux, il faut réserver à l'avance, mais le processus était simple et totalement valable. Le service des plats à la manière d'un repas familial était charmant, tout était délicieux, et il semblait que les plats n'arrêtaient jamais d'arriver. C'était particulièrement impressionnant compte tenu du menu à prix fixe très raisonnable. L'équipe a pris en charge nos allergies alimentaires avec attention, et pour couronner le tout, Sarah et le reste du personnel ont offert un service incroyable. Merci pour ce repas fantastique et cette excellente soirée ! 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. The family-style service of the food was delightful, everything was delicious, and it seemed the dishes never stopped coming. This was particularly impressive given the very reasonable fixed price menu. The team attentively accommodated our food allergies, and to top it off, Sarah and the rest of the staff provided incredible service. Thanks for the amazing meal and great evening!

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.
