    Inside on a Sunday at 6pm
    Nikki J.

    Great pizza in the heart of the financial District. Chewy, flavourful crust with just the right amount of toppings. Sat on the patio on a Sunday - lovely! Service was smooth. Inside is large and has plenty of seating. Was a great option for quick meal before catching the train at Union

    Eggplant pizza

    Came on a Sunday and noon and the place was empty. We got seated quickly. The menu had quite a few pizzas with a few New York style pizzas as well. They also have some pasta dishes. Our pizzas were 12" 4 slices and came piping hot. I really enjoyed the soft dough interior and the toppings (eggplant for me and lemon ricotta for my friend). However as you get to the last slice, it may be a little soggy as the heat from the pizza is trapped between the pizza and the plate.

    Amazing. We had the margarita pizza with pepperoni and focaccia. The foca was so fresh! The oil dip was delicious but the star was the pizza! It's the kind you need a knife and fork for and was one of the best pizzas we have ever had. Service was friendly and food came out fast. We will try to eat here again before we leave.

    Everything about the spot was very good. Can't say it was the best I ever had but we enjoyed it! We had the lunch special with salad and pizza and the marinara pizza with burrada. The ambience is lovey. The sleek design, but right pops, and comfy tables and bar area. Our server was kind and attentive. One downside was my pear and endive salad did not have even one piece of pear which was a bummer. Everything was tasty and we enjoyed!

    We came for a work lunch and ordered meatballs, Calamari, duck confit, and Hawaiian pizza. The antipasti/starters were good, the calamari was really crispy, but the Hawaiian pizza was outstanding! The Hawaiian pizza had an light spice kick, but the hot maple drizzle really was the icing on the cake. What really intrigued us was the duck confit pizza, however it was very disappointing. Had almost a chinese roast duck vibe, but the duck seems a bit dry and really seemed like an afterthought, as opposed to be a collective flavor.

    House made sausage

    This is my go to pizza spot when I'm working downtown at the office to bring clients and colleagues for a great slice! The salads are pretty amazing too. I've had the arugula and the kale and I think I prefer the kale. My favourite pizza is the house made sausage white pizza as it never disappoints. Paired with a healthy dose of chilli oil, it's perfection. I went with my colleagues yesterday and they had the funghi and the special of the day, a truffle pizza. Love how they can make it gluten free and how easily you can make reservations online! Service is generally pleasant but nothing outstanding. I go here more for the food than anything. Definitely should check it out!

    Funghi pizza

    Great pizza, great gnocchi, great ambiance and decent service! The chili oil was very flavorful. We had a great time here and it exceeded our expectations. Usually Za is our go to for pizza in downtown but now we added Libretto to our list. Can't wait to go back and try more pizzas and the appetizer gnocchi.

    Caprese

    Stopped in for lunch and we both got the lunch special - caprese salad and the margherita pizzetta. Service was great, and the food was good - we both enjoyed the salad and the pizza - and you really can't beat the price. Was it anything to write home about? Not necessarily, but it was a very solid lunch option while strolling around the neighborhood.

    I think this is a decent place for the price, there are many chains around she could expect very similar food at each of the places. I went with an italian person and they enjoyed it which is always a good sign for a pizzeria spot. They have an expensive option of pizza with white and red sauces. They have a duck confit pizza with white sauce, that is a really interesting menu item that I think it's unique and worth trying. The duck with a little bit of a cold and dry but there was a decent amount of meat on it for the ~$20 price. The tiramisu dessert was also quite large and is easily shareable. The only other downside is the lack of non pizza options, if you want an extensive list of other entrées or pasta this is not the place for you

    Insalate Caesar
    Reh L.

    Came here on a rainy evening looking for a cozy booth and some pizza and luckily they had just that. The service here is wonderful and friendly; the hostess happily made accommodations for us on a busy night and the staff were very friendly as well. The ambience was nice too, very calm with solid decor which I liked, and I bet they get tons of natural light during the day time. The food was solid but average, here's the rundown: - Insalate Caesar: solid salad, with kale, cabbage, and crispy prosciutto, and the right amount of dressing - Vegetariana Pizza: didnt love this one but that may have been a poor choice on our end - when you get raw vegetables on pizza, all the water comes out which leaves you with a slightly soggy pizza and watery sauce. I probably wouldn't order this pizza again, unless the veggies were pre-cooked. They have a nice chili oil to top your pizza with which gave it a nice little spice. Overall, I'd say the place has potential but the food felt just average to me - it lacked the punch I was expecting from Libretto, having been to other locations years ago and really enjoying it. It's a great spot for a lunch or a casual / quick dinner, but not sure I'd go out of my way for it. I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars, with the potential for 4 if I come back another day and try another pizza that blows me away.

    Nice pizzeria in downtown Toronto. The pizza here is Wood-Fired Pizza and is a pretty causal spot. Offers indoor and outdoor seating. I ended up trying their house margarita and duck confit pizza to try something different. Overall, I thought the pizza was pretty good, didn't really know what to expect. I may try traditional pizza in the future because Im more of a red sauce person but the pizza was still really good! Service is fast and restaurant is clean. Check out for a pizza spot!

    Huge calzone!
    Karmen N.

    Place was deserted at 11:30-12pm on a weekday. Maybe because of everyone staying at home with the pandemic disease? Friend and I both got the calzone special that comes with a salad and biscotti (About $20 after tax). Calzone is huge!! only took a few bites, it was a lot. Melted cheese and salami inside with nice rustic tomato dip. The arugula salad was my favourite. It had a nice flavour profile of sweetness from the pears, crunch from walnuts, and creaminess from the cheese. Few slices of bread was also served. The only downside was the biscotti... they were really stale! It was soft and not crispy :( Lots of nuts (hazelnut, almond, pistachio) and chocolate though.

    This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

    We had 3 good pizzas and salads. We always have good food and service. It is very comfortable.read more
