    We were really counting on this pizzeria. Neapolitan authentic pizza - is our favorite. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to expectations. We’ve order special pizza “peach and arugula”. Arugula was so spicy, that even we could hardly eat it, kids didn’t. It was disappointing for them to be left without dinner. :( We also found a piece of plastic inside. :( Tiramisu though was good and the staff were super friendly!

    An amazing local spot. Warm atmosphere and friendly vibe from the staffs. Highly recommend Pizza Duck Confit, have never tried in any resto before. Best Tiramisu in town…

    Very good food, the place is casual and adorable and the service is great. Try the meatballs if you want to have an alternative for pizza.

    Modern pizzeria that offers traditional Neapolitan style, brick oven pizzas. This trendy little spot brings the classic and simple taste of the local Italian cooking and ingredients to our Canadian tongues. Located in the heart of the Danforth neighbourhood, this place definitrly adds to the atmosphere of this well-known community. Came for a dinner visit with a group of 4, which they were able to accomodate comfortably. They have a decent amount of tables and space inside the establishment, and a little patio area outside with a more limited seating. Interiors bring a very trendy vibe with a darker atmosphere, a bar, and an open kitchen that showcases the two brick ovens in the back as focal points. They also havr more seating space downstairs and well-maintained restrooms for guests. Atmosphere 5 out of 5. The servers were really friendly, as we were greeted fairly promptly upon our arrival. Food came at a decent time after ordering, and all our dishes came in hot, fresh and all at the same time. Kudos to the kitchen and dining staff that allowed for that whole experience to happen smoothly. Only suggestion would be to have a designated hostess / greeter that could make the seating arrangements more efficient, since we did wait a few minutes at the front before we got seated by someone. Service 4 out of 5. For our food, we started off with a plate of gnocchi fritti with chive creme fraiche as our appetizer. Loved the sauce and even saved some of it for my pizza. However, the actual plate portion seemed scarce to share and the gnocchi size felt too small. It almost tasted like fries due to the smaller cuts. For our main courses, we had the opportunity to order and try four different types of 12" pizzas (duck confit, funghi; 'Nduja and pepperoni both with gluten free dough). I personally ordered the Duck Confit pizza and enjoyed every bit of it. The duck was very tender and the roasted peaches gave the nice sweet accent to it, wishing that there was a bit more peaches on the pizza. We also had chili oil and flakes on the side which we advantageously used for our pizzas. However, the chili oil was not spicy enough for my liking. I had to add more chili flakes on it & the pizza just to give a nice kick of spice to each bite. The 'Nduja and pepperoni pizzas were also very good, especially the gluten free crust that impressed our whole table. However, the funghi pizza did disappoint, since the base cheese felt a little too dry and there were not enough mushrooms as toppings. Food 3 out of 5.

    Gave this place a try tonight and boy are we glad we did! This place has fantastic food and the atmosphere is great. The service is very good. My husband had the Fungi pizza and Kale salad, I had the Meatballs with crostini, everything served was very delicious. We will definitely be back! Thanks! P.s. Our beers were some local Pilsner they had on tap that week, very tasty but wish I had gotten the name to suggest it to you all

    Really excellent pizza. Very fresh and soft dough. The toppings, although not very generous, are really tasty. Staff are friendly and the place is large. The main floor is quite noisy - not the best acoustics but apparently there is a more private downstairs area that I would check out next time. If you’re looking for great pizza, this is a top spot!

    Went for pizza and drinks before a concert the other night at Danforth Music Hall. My friend and I picked Pizzeria Libretto as we knew the menu had a vegan option for me. Service was fantastic - our server was super proactive, noticing a wobble in our table before we even did and fixing it immediately. We had also made some initial conversation with her and she picked up that I might have a dietary restriction and asked me about it. She also took a moment to mark on the order sent to the kitchen that I had a restriction, which I really appreciated. We got the Impossible pizza which was soooo good. The crust is so light and crunchy, and their vegan cheese went way beyond my expectations. There was enough to take home and I also appreciated that their takeout boxes have reheating instructions - such a cute/useful touch. The cocktail menu was great as well, lots of classics and twists on classics, so you really can't go wrong.

    Good vibes, good pizza, and service was good! Also a good spot for groups, we were able to get a nice table for ten downstairs, without a reservation :O

    A great neighborhood choice for pizza. Made in their pizza oven, which you can see when you peak into the open concept kitchen. I had the funghi pizza with gorgonzola which was delicious! You don't see "white" pizzas on the menu very often. Service was super friendly.

    So I have been eating at this location for years and have never had a problem until the other night. I ordered the gnocchi in the white sauce, usually it’s amazing, literally mind blowing but today it was not. It was like eating pockets of congealed slime. When I complained about it, the manager that night came over to my table and actually said to me that the gnocchi was made together ( my kids ordered it as well but with the red sauce) so if there’s was ok mine is fine. Let me tell you a little something I might know about gnocchi. First off it’s made with potatoes so it’s a heavy dough. Second if they are not all the same size, others take longer to cook. So I said that’s fine, paid for my meal and left. By the way did I mention it was my birthday? I could say that ruined my day, but it didn’t. My waiter was fantastic but the manager needs a bit more training in customer service. Will not be returning ever again.

    I had some high expectations in dining here! A name like Pizzaeria Libretto is promising to be a higher and brand and for the prices that we paid, I feel a bit shortchanged. Do not get me wrong, the food was tantalizing the delicious. I had the focaccia and the buttermilk fried calamari. For the latter, [I will say this, this stellar dish beats fried fish and any other restaurant, crispy, not greasy, perfect balance of seasoning, nothing to fault here the dish was finished with unctuous Romesco sauce which had the right balance of acidity and had helped to cut the grease in the fry calamari. The herbal oil that they had added honestly I think was added just for color but it did nothing for the dish and I think should be omitted. The drinks were the highlight of my experience as they had a great array of cocktails, wines as well as digestifs. And the drinks were consistently coming... The theme of asking you she will receive, was consistent with the drinks My friend had the fungi pizza and I had treated myself to the Rocco's Nicoise Salad.... Yes yes folks.... For my to do a review considering I had a salad at a pizzeria.. Fear. I like my liquid calories what can I say and I am going to cut corners somewhere! The salad was well seasoned,, lovely marriage of flavors of sweetness of the dressing with the darkness of the tomatoes and the salty brininess of the tuna. So where it did not go wrong last night?? What had happened to warrant 3*not of 5?? I have dined at Liberato on Augmentin and I will see this, service was much much faster at the other location than the 1 in Danforth. I had to wait over 20 minutes to get my for Foccacia bread which I had wanted as a starter and as a lovely accompaniment to my wine. By the time it had arrived, I was looking at the bottom of my bone dry glass. I was also hoping to sample some of the dessert offerings and it was a disappointment upon ordering and waiting to hear how many of the desserts were no longer available. It feels like a let down especially when you are paying hefty price for the experience there. Now I will say this the servers are lovely human beings... Very amiable, giving is helpful recommendations from the menu and are even willing to share their knowledge on which client would care well with what ever just reordered.. No complaints against them. I just feels there needs to be better organization between the kitchen and front of the house staff. So will I come back to Libretto? I would as they had a few dishes that were memorable but I do hope that they promised to offer the options on the menu that they have advertise

    We order the daily specials pizza which was apple,bacon and cheese. The pizza wasn't bad, but it seems that something was missing in terms of flavors. Price wise I don't think it is worthy $22 for the size of the pizza.

    The pizza looked gorgeous but was pretty bland. The highlights of the meal were the starters, especially the fried gnocchi! I highly recommend trying those out. The arancini and the meatballs were tasty as well.

    One of the best spot in Toronto for pizza. Must try it. Ingredients are fresh and flavourful. Love the tomato sauce it’s sweet just the way it should be. One thing if I can say I wish bottom was more crispy. Tiramisu serving size is good for 2 people. Make sure you try this spot, there are multiple locations.

    Great tasting pizza, and crust to die for. Came recommend by a local friend and met the expectations. Now gotta try the rest of them on the menu.

    Traditional Italian food, every dish was perfect and tasted as a classic dish should taste. The cheesecake was absolutely amazing and the ambiance and service was great especially on a Monday! Thanks to our server and compliments to the chef for executing such an amazing experience! I’d highly recommend the cheese cake was a highlight to my 29th birthday I’ll remember that for the rest of my life big thanks

    Had a good experience here last night with some friends celebrating a birthday! There were some cons to our experience, but I hope it’s taken as positive feedback. The one thing that bothered us a bit was that we were sitting for a while before our waiter came back to take our order. Normally I wouldn’t have that much of an issue with this but we were all extremely hungry and were hoping that this would’ve been faster. Next, we all ordered cocktails, but the cocktails came with our dinner. This was really odd and I’ve never had this happen before.. if we had gotten our drinks before dinner it would’ve made the wait time for our food a lot easier. This I did not like and hope that this is changed. Aside from this, we all LOVED our pizzas- we all ordered different ones, and no one was disappointed whatsoever! It’s delicious, you can tell it’s fresh, and they don’t skimp on toppings - (look at all that arugula on my pizza!!). We had also let our server know that it was one of our birthdays, and the dessert that was brought out was so delicious- I’m not sure what it was called, but it was a delicious chocolate cake that was rich and moist, with a little saucer of what I think was a caramel-y Tres leches type sauce. I’ll definitely be back :)

    Our experience with takeout has been great so we decided to visit the restaurant with some guests. Sorry to say it was a disappointment. From the moment we sat it took almost 40 minutes to get the starters and another 30 minutes to get the pizzas. Pizzas were tasty but very cold cold like they were sitting on a counter for a long time. Staff was friendly but one of them told us they were under staffed and she was clearly hyperventilating. Gave 2 stars with a hope to regain our trust in what we used to call the place with best pizza in Toronto.

    Great service from the get-go, our server recognized what we were looking for as soon as he saw us point at the vegan option. The pizza had many delicious flavors and the crust was on point. The most impressive part of our order was the caprese salad that was put together using their in house vegan cheese.

    A bustling pizza restaurant on the Danforth. You can always expect great food and a chattery ambiance. We didn't have a reservation for tonight but they were able to seat us quickly. Fantastic service as well .

    The staff were great. The pizzas were delicious. We highly recommend the lemon ricotta cheesecake. The cookie was not anything special.

  • 1/5 Christopher C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wasn’t impressed by our experience. The website is buggy and it took a few tries to make an order. The prices are really high. Everything seemed overpriced but this salad was ridiculous. We thought it was a mistake. A tiny Caesar salad with soggy croutons and dressing the consistency of tooth paste. The portion size was only slightly bigger than what would fit in a Big Mac box. $15! The square pizza has a really thick crust, more like a focaccia than a pizza. At $100 for two people for a pickup order it was really disappointing.
