If you're looking for incredible gluten-free pizza in Toronto, Pizzeria Libretto is hard to beat. Their GF crust is light, chewy, and has that authentic wood-fired char that makes every bite feel like the real Neapolitan deal. I had a pie with mozzarella, onions, olives, and a spicy red drizzle--and it was outstanding. The sauce is bright and tangy, the toppings fresh, and the balance of flavors makes it one of the best gluten free pizzas I've had. Important note: they do offer gluten-free crust, but cross-contamination can happen. If you're celiac, make the decision that feels right for your comfort level. For me, it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is cozy and buzzing, the staff are friendly, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. read more

Pizzeria Libretto - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pizzeria Libretto popped up as one of the "best pizza in Toronto" suggestions, so my colleagues and I decided to give it a try. We each ordered our own Napoletana-style pizza, and I chose the Capricciosa. When we arrived at the restaurant to pick up our to-go order, we were told our pizza would be ready in five minutes; it ended up taking closer to 20 minutes even though the restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived after 8 PM. The pizza itself was solid. The toppings (basil, burrata, olives, mushrooms, artichoke hearts) tasted fresh - especially the burrata - and the sauce was delicious. I wish the crust had more "chew," but otherwise, the pizza was fantastic. read more

Great pizzas fast service! This restaurant is a real winner. Been there several times and the food is consistently good!

We went for a friends birthday. The food was quite decent. I don't normally go out for Italian, so I'm not sure about portion size, but the Creamy Spinach Basil Pesto Gnocchi portions weren't filling enough for me, so I ended up ordering a pizza after anyways. The atmosphere was quite nice, I was a big fan of the vibe. Our waiter was good, no complaints but nothing to write home about. read more

Delicious pizza and great craft beers! I've been to this specific location a couple times now but I've also had food from their university location as well. Servers are always friendly and polite. They have a great list of craft beers on tap and ciders. My favourite thing here is their house made sausage pizza with the chili oil. Dipping the pizza into a plate of that chili oil one of the greatest pleasures in life. Would totally recommend for group settings (as my boyfriend has had his birthday party here already once) or just for a casual hang out. read more

One of my favorite pizza places. They have gluten free pizza and pasta. Lots of different locations throughout toronto in many neighborhoods. They use a wood oven stove and thin crust. read more

Lunch plans with colleagues hit a snag when the spot we intended to visit was packed, so we headed to libretto as our plan b. Around 12:20pm on a Wednesday it was about 3/4 capacity and we decided to eat outdoors. We were in a hurry by now, so we all ordered the special. Can't recall the name, but it was a thin crust with Gorgonzola cheese and...peaches! Word?? (Chappelle voice). It was delicious. I was starving. So I checked with my colleagues and they also gave a fairly enthusiastic thumbs up. And our bills were all under $25 before tip. Not bad! Maybe next time we'll come back as a plan a. read more

came during happy hour so it's not too busy. - happy hour calamari - smaller portion for $8, great to share between 2 people. flavour was OK and the sauce tasted like a sweet puree - happy hour meatballs - smaller portion also for $8. We thought the meatballs were a bit dry but the ricotta cheese and tomato sauce saved the dish. Nothing special about the 2 apps but good price. - margherita pizza - neopolitan style, I love the thin chewy crust. Safe option to choose. Pizza is big enough to share between 2 people if you ordered an app. Service was great, price was reasonable and the atmosphere was quite cozy and intimate for a pizzeria. I would definitely come back for their pizza! read more

I hate giving this place such a "meh" review, but I honestly didn't think it was over-the-top amazing. While the wood fire pizza was good, we had a few hiccups during our visit here. This place is my friends favorite pizza place in Toronto, and I can see why. They offer salads, wood fire pizzas and delicious-sounding drinks. We went to the location downtown which didn't have an intimate feel and definitely felt like a "modern" decor type place. The ambiance of this location didn't reflect the way the menu was set up or how I picture a wood-fire/Italian restaurant to be. We had pretty less-than-stellar service when it came to drinks. A mutual friend ordered a dry gin martini with extra olives, but they kept making her a dirty martini which is not what she asked for. In my mind a dry gin martini should be clear and not cloudy. All she wanted was olives in it, not olive juice, which they kept doing so it was very salty. A dry gin martini should not be salty at all. We ordered some arugula salads and I ordered the Margherita pizza. The food was fine: I don't want to make it seem like this place was garbage. That isn't the case. I've just had better wood-fire pizza and salad in Ann Arbor and other places. What I will say is the person who delivered our pizzas to the table told me that mine was not up to the chef's standards so they were remaking mine. I did appreciate that, but it was still pretty lackluster when I got it: soggy and droopy and not very crispy, not a ton of cheese on it, or basil and very heavy on the tomato sauce. I'm not sure I'd go back here, but if I did, I think I want to try a different location to see if it's different. read more

Absolutely delicious food! I got a gluten free impossible pizza, it was delicious, and the crust was chewy and charred. Very good. There was the perfect amount of toppings, and the flavors, yum! read more

Pizza was not bad. Service was non-existent. Someone need to retrain Alex because she forgot how to serve and or check in on her table of customers. Place wasn't even busy. We waited almost 40 minutes to get our food and she didn't bother or remember to bring us a single refill of water. I kind of felt bad for the 4 customers across from our table they sat down before us and ordered wine and appetizers. By the time we finished our (40 minutes) pizza and paid our bill they still haven't received their food. I was telling my friend that I should order a UberEats pizza to drop it off on the patio because they took forever and didn't even tell us why it was taking so long! I am not sure why I bother leaving a tip, but consider I was little generous that they just reopen for patio. I will not return to this location. read more

Came here with a large group of friends (12 of us), and I have to say, the service was impeccable! The waiter was super attentive, however I must note that the restaurant wasn't very busy that evening (it was a Monday night). We got to try a lot of different items on the menu since we had such a large table. Salumi e formaggi: meat and cheese plate, this was pretty good, I really liked the breadsticks that came with it! Arugula salad: I really enjoyed the salad, but I wish there was more pears in it! There were barely any. Arancini: Italian risotto balls, these tasted great with the tomato sauce. It's super cheesy inside and I can see it being a super popular menu item. Would recommend! Gnocchi: surprisingly, this was my favourite dish of the night and I usually don't like gnocchi! I found the creamy sauce to be delicious and the texture just right. Prosciutto & arugula pizza, funghi pizza, & diavola pizza: to be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the pizza. The flavor for all of them just wasn't there, and I don't think there was enough sauce so I found all the pizzas to be really dry. Since this is a pizza place, I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the pizza.... Overall the meal was pretty average, I can't see myself being a regular customer here, but I'm glad I tried it with a large group so we could try so many different dishes. read more

I finally got to try Libretto after hearing people rave about it and I'm completely satisfied! We made reservations ahead of time for a Friday night (since restaurants in the king west area are usually super crowded on a Friday night), and we got seated right away. The boyfriend and I were so excited to try this place that we actually already looked at the menu before coming and knew exactly what we wanted LOL! For appetizers, we chose the buttermilk fried calamari as recommended in many reviews and it was worth the hype. The calamaris were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. On the bottom was a layer of pumpkin (?) sauce. Both of us really enjoyed this! For the pizzas, we got the Duck Confit pizza and the Housemade sausage pizza. Both pizzas were pesto-sauce based. The duck confit pizza was a little disappointing despite it being one of the popular pizzas here. The duck was a bit dry and I wasn't really a fan of the pear slices on there. Parts of it also tasted too salty for my liking. The sausage pizza on the other hand was amazingly delicious! The flavour was not as strong as the duck pizza. Both of us really enjoyed that. We came here as a belated Valentine's Day dinner and overall it was an enjoyable experience. I felt like this was more of a hangout/casual place rather than a romantic date night place since the music can be a little loud. I definitely see how Libretto is worth the hype and I'll be back to try more pizzas! read more

My friends have raved about this place and I wanted to try the mushroom white pizza after seeing the enticing photos of it. We were a group of 10 on a weekday evening. The service was pretty slow. An especially strange thing was that we mentioned to our server that we wanted to order, they acknowledged this but proceeded to disappear for a stretch of time. I tried the charcuterie board and the mushroom white pizza with vegan mozzarella. I have to say that there wasn't much cheese on the pizza; it felt like a flat bread with some dollops of cheese, mushrooms, thyme, and full pieces of garlic. I don't know about you but full pieces of roasted garlic are not extremely appetizing for me. But on the bright side, at least they have lactose free cheese options! read more

Libretto is always a hit for us, no matter the location. It's our go to pizza and calamari spot! Fun, busy environment and the service is great. My fave remains to be the duck confit, made with duck, pear and rosemary- yum! They offer a well done pizza if you choose, however, I find that the crust is still chewy and not crisp at the bottom. It's just their style of pizza. read more

Sure, when you think of Italian food you think of pizza. However, I would say my favourite parts of this dining experience were the sides: calamari and the arancini. On a Sunday evening the atmosphere was quiet-ish which was good even with the seven parties in the room. We were able to have a conversation without yelling. The food came hot and it tasted great - textures and flavours were balanced and showed variety. When it comes to the pizza, you're getting a very Neapolitan style which means thinner crust, light yet flavourful toppings and that burnt goodness, however it can also leave you wanting just a little more if eaten on an empty stomach. Luckily my friend and I shared this meal and it made the perfect dinner. read more

This is one of the newest locations of the Toronto pizza chain. Definitely not expecting it to be in some dark alley way but that's okay. The food was great. They sat us at the bar because my friend and I didn't have a reservation. Place is clean, lights were a bit dim from my preference but I think that's part of the cozy ambience they want to portray of the place. We weren't very hungry but I really wanted to try their pizza. We got one to share: Ontario proscuitto and arugula. Pizza dough is good. Too much arugula on top but that's okay since they're just greens that you can eat separately. That chili oil though. Just drizzle that in the pizza! Definitely good pizza and I'll eat here again!! read more

Gord and I had supper this evening at Pizzeria Libretto. It opened in the fall. Pizzas are baked in an 850F oven for 90 seconds. We both ordered pizzas. I got the Nduja Sausage pizza. I've had it at their Ossington location and enjoyed it. It was delicious! Gord ordered the special pizza ... it had salami, red peppers, basil, mozzarella cheese and gorgonzola cheese. He said it was really good. Stephanie was our server. She was friendly and attentive and took excellent care of us. read more

This is one of my favourite pizza places in Toronto. Food: Their chili oil is not too spicy and doesn't take over the flavour of the pizza yet it adds the perfect kick. Their buttermilk fried calamari is one of my personal favourites. The sauce is so unique, you have to try it! Two of the best pizzas there are the margherita and the porscuitto di parma & arugula! Amazing with the chili oil. Space: The interior of this location is very nice and spacious. It has the perfect balance of privacy mixed with openness. Service: The service here is alright. The second time I went, we weren't acknowledged by the server until around 10 minutes after we had sat down and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Extra: I've ordered uber eats from here too and the pizza was still very delicious. They give you a little side of the chili oil. Amazing! Overall, great restaurant with great food! read more

I really enjoy the fluffy light crust of the pizza. It is quite doughy but in a good way. Their chili oil is a beautiful additional flavoring to any pizza and especially if you have any crust left from the pizza-- should drizzle it with oil. It is not too spicy and just adds a slight hint of pepper kick. I really enjoyed the sausage pizza with the tomato sauce. It is like the margarita pizza but topped with their homemade sausage! We enjoyed our service there because the waiter was very friendly and funny. It was a great environment to dine in a group. read more

Taste: 3 Service: 5 Value: 2 Presentation: 2 Overall: 3.2 rounded down to 3 Hi and welcome to another episode of javing it with Javier. Let's see what we are javing today. My coworkers tell me this place serves the best authentic Italian pizza in Toronto. So naturally I need to give it a try. I ordered the daily special pizza which included cheese, cheese, more cheese, roasted garlic, chard, and sausage. The pizza when I got it looked more like an oval to me, the crust was slightly burnt, and the toppings fell apart when I was cutting it. I'm not Italian and I don't claim to know what authentic Italian pizza tastes like but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't taste like a mouthful of burnt crust. The pizza dough was soft and well made but the burnt taste just ruined it for me. This is one of the fancier pizza places I've been to. Very good service and no complaints here. The pizza I ordered was around $20. The size wasn't extremely big but it's enough to fill one up for the meal. However, for that pricing I wished there was a little more. Maybe it was the hype or maybe I was just served a poor pizza but I didn't enjoy the pizza as much as I wanted. Hopefully I will have a better experience the next time I visit. And that's it for today's episode of javing it with Javier. And remember food is life! read more

After catching a movie at the Lightbox, we were in the mood for a nice, hearty dinner. My dinner companion had recently watched a Netflix series about pizza, so Pizzeria Libretto was a no-brainer. We arrived around 7:30 on a Saturday night and the place was predictably crowded, though we were instantly able to snag a spot at the bar. Rather than just order a pizza each, we decided to share a few things: Prosciutto di Parma ("grissini, seasonal accompaniments"): This was simply several slices of prosciutto served with three breadsticks and a small dish of pickled veggies. The prosciutto is pretty amazing and probably ranks among the best I've ever had, while the breadsticks and veggies were both quite tasty. Buttermilk Fried Calamari ("Romesco (a red pepper almond sauce)"): The highlight of the meal, this definitely blows most fried calamari dishes out of the water. The calamari themselves were fried perfectly, and the accompanying sauce was so addictive I was sopping up what was left with the complimentary bread (which was, by the way, also quite good). The only complaint with this one was that it wasn't served as quickly as it should've been (i.e. the dish wasn't piping hot). Margherita ("Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella"): Ironically, the pizza was the weakest dish we ate. The toppings were just so-so and the crust, though pleasingly charred around the edges, was unreasonably soggy the closer you got to the middle of the pizza. For comparison, my dining companion had just returned from a trip to Italy, where he ate a number of Margherita 'zas, and he called this version of the venerable dish "garbage." read more

Went with my friend to try this place cause kept hearing good reviews Atmosphere was awesome. Great place to take a date. I was with my boy, so man-date? Staff was friendly and very helpful on recommendations form the menu. Pizza was pretty good. Its been a while since writing the review (I'm honest, been busy with work and a few other things keeping me from exposing where I was eating at specific times). I put the 5 star but wrote this later - I remember the pizza was good. I'm sorry... don't be angry... I tried :'( Definitely recommend this place. read more

This was the closest pizza place near the airbnb spot I was staying at. It has a cute outdoor seating with decorated lights and plenty of seating inside. I ordered To-Go an Eggplant pizza and a Prosciutto Pizza. The Eggplant and cheese on the pizza was amazing! Perfect ratio for each bite. The dough was a bit soggy though, most likely due to the weight of the toppings. The Prosciutto was good as well. They lay the meat over the pizza after it's been cut so you have to re-cut the pizza again. There were also some burnt spots on the dough. read more

Went here to catch up with a few friends after work. It's a bit tucked away in a hidden alley but there was a small patio that seemed quaint and dainty. Once our group of 6 all arrived, we ordered our foods as well all decided to share. We got the Buttermilk Fried Calamari, Nduja Sausage, Pizza Blanca - House-Made Sausage, and Ontario Prosciutto with argula on top. The complementary bread with oil and balsamic was nice. I enjoyed it. Sadly, that was my best part of the meal. The calamari was disappointing. There was no flavour and the combination of the buttermilk was just so odd. All the pizzas came lovely in appearance. However, it tasted so burnt I thought my tongue would turn completely black. The pizzas were also cut into 4 giant slices. Our group attempted to cut the slices into halves but the knifes were so dull that it was going nowhere. We asked our waiter for assistance and he replied with "well, you could use the fork and knife in front of you." We found him quite rude in his approach. He was also quite rude when it came to sorting the bills out. A few of us had drinks so instead of splitting the bill in 6, we would figure out the total amounts and then add our own drink to it. He offered to do the calculations as "Libretto is good at that sort of thing". But he never did it, and we felt he just didn't want to, so my friend offered to put the bill on her credit card and we'd all just e-transfer her back. TLDR; Not impressed with the food or service here. read more

Pretty sure it was my first time ever eating from Pizzeria Libretto but I'm glad I decided to hop in because not only was the pizza tasty but the restaurant itself was clean, spacious, had 2 TVs and even a football table. I got a cheese slice and made it a combo with chips and a drink for about $7. I don't eat meat so my only critique would be at least have more readymade pizza options that cater to vegetarians to choose from. I was too hungry (borderline "hangry") to take a picture but I will next time. Other than the lack of readymade veggie options, everything was great. I'll be back :) read more

Went here for a lunch with a coworker and the pizzas were really good. I wanted to try it for a long time after hearing good things about here from friends, and I was not disappointed. I had the 'Nduja pizza, which had the spicy sausage. My coworker had the duck confit pizza, which she said was really good (but she did mention that there may have been a little too much thyme, so if you're not a fan of thyme keep that in mind) read more

This place is conveniently located along King street among other popular spots. It leads to an underground hub but high enough so that natural sunlight is ample. My office decided to have a farewell lunch here for one of our coworkers. We arrived at around 12:30 and our seating was already waiting with cutlery laid out. We made a reservation beforehand. The restaurant was not busy at all. The staff were friendly in their greeting. We were given the menus however it was three menus for a table of nine. The waitress introduce herself and asked about allergies. The food took a long time to come out despite us ordering beforehand when we made the reservation. It was family style salad. An all green plate full of baby arugula, watercress and topped with chunks of walnut and shaved pear. It was dressed in an oily based dressing. It was alittle on the bitter side. Next came the bread. It was an assortment of three types of bread. My favourite was the herb one. It was served with chilli oil and a balsamic vinegrette that I couldn't stop licking off the bread. We also had the caprese style tomato and bocconcini cheese side. It was garnished with basil. I was sorely disappointed with the pizza. It reminded me of flatbread, cheese and tomato sauce baked on an ever so thin crust. I felt like I could have made the pizza myself and it would have turned out better. Some of it was also burnt. All the courses had the same flavour theme of cheese, tomato and salad and while one may like the compliments in taste, I did not. All the courses tasted similar. Therefore, the bread was what stood out which is weird considering that it was not the main. The espresso cinnamon gelato was so decant and yummy. One scoop was too little. It was the right hint of espresso. If you ever visit here, this is your best bet for dessert. They accept credit and debit cards.The family style lunch: vegetarian pizza, salad, cheese and tomato, side order of bread and one scoop of gelato costs each of us $16 per person. This is average in my opinion. Overall, I give two stars because of the ambience of this place. For a pizzaeria, I was disappointed with the pizza. read more

Good pizza, especially liked the crust. Our bartender was nice. We'll go back. Red Pizza with awesome pepperoni!!

I've been to the Libretto on University and Pearl and my wife has been to the location on the Danforth but this location besides the original on Ossington is the one neither of us have been to. I was told it just recently opened a couple months back and as far as parking it's probably more friendly that the one on University and it's closer than the Danforth. The original on Ossington I wan't sure if they took reservations or not so I was OK with booking with the King street location on the day of about 5 hours in advance. I was lucky to be able to get a table for 530pm. The address is 545 King West but the entrance to this restaurant is at the side of the building down a well lit alley on the west side. There's a sign "Pizzeria Libretto" right at the north west corner of the building and the entrance is a red awning covered door. The space compared to the University Ave location has less natural lighting being that it's at the side of a building and the internal lighting has what can only be described as individual desk lamps at each table. The decor is simple yet it has the feeling of a older building which is what it is with an exposed slatted wood ceiling. The service and hospitality is still top notch and our server, Justin seemed like he couldn't do enough for us. We were asked if everything was fine, our drinks were being looked after and it truly felt we were getting a healthy dose of attention. Much like our previous visits to Libretto the food as well as the service was excellent. We started off with the arancini which is a serving of 3, a plate of prosciutto di Parma and an order of the buttermilk calamari. All 3 appetizers were great. The arancini comes with a marinara and parsley sauce and the flavors mix so well. The balls themselves are a nice size and cooked properly. The prosciutto came with oiled and dressed flat bread sticks (grissini) and the calamari is served in a pyramid shape on top of a pepper and almond sauce which is very different. I ordered the nduja pizza and my wife had the cremini (mushroom) which is a white pizza without tomato sauce. Both pizzas were great. I can't remember if they cut the pizza last time or not as some places that are certified VPN don't cut the pizza but either way it makes for easier eating. I can't say if I've had authentic nduja before or not (my friend from Long Island would know for sure) but this sausage was very flavorful and spicy. I really enjoyed the bite this meat had but I can't say it's for everybody like my wife wouldn't like it because for her it would probably be too hot. For me it was great, I even added some of the spiced olive oil. The cremini was very rich and is drier than nduja because it doesn't have sauce on it. My wife ordered it with blue cheese on it as well as it was offered and it had a strong flavor to it because of the strong cheese. The food as well as the service at Libretto are both wonderful. They only have pizza as main dishes and there is no pasta but they do have a good variety of small plates, salads and other starters to compliment their pizzas. Libretto is now my new favorite authentic Neapolitan place, more so than Pizza e Pazzi now. This new location on King just east of Portland is somewhat hidden but a great new location. read more

The space is warm with lots of wood. Seating is a bit cramped due to all of the coats and close quarters. They have a variety of small plate appetizers, salads, pizzas, and drinks. For the pizzas, they have a few sauce choices and a few sauceless bianca choices. They have some bread to start and the texture and lightness of the bread is great. It would've been a lot better if they hear it and serve the bread warm-- oh well. Our server Selena was excellent. Super sweet and friendly and knowledgable about the menu. We had the eggplant pizza and the napoletana. Napoletana was a bit sour and pretty salty and also comes with no cheese.. Selena actually suggested the eggplant pizza and it was delicious! It came out warm and fresh and sliced into four pieces. I would definitely order that again. We were too stuffed for dessert but Selena highly recommended them and said that all the desserts are made in-house so I will try to make my way back to check it out. I would go back again read more

This is my first time visiting Pizza Libretto, and i will definitely be coming back. Our server was kind and thorough. I think he might be new there, but he did a fantastic job. He told us what the pizza of the day was (it was a "four seasons" pizza. The 4 quadrants of the pizza each had ingredients that signify the four seasons. Cool idea). He was also sure to ask if we had any allergies. I asked for a 7-up with grenadine, and he brought me a lovely Jamaican ginger ale with a house made grenadine. I really enjoyed it. For our apps, we got the flank steak spiedini and calamari. Let me tell you...the flank steak spiedini was delicious. I almost requested a second order of it. The spiedini was on a skewer that also had large croutons on it nestled between the steak. The meat was well seasoned and very tender-not at all overcooked and/or dry. Yum. I don't care what else you get, but if you go to Pizza Libretto and you're a meat eater...don't even hesitate. GET THIS APP! The calamari was amazing too. I liked the presentation of the calamari being carefully stacked on top of each other to form a triangle. On the bottom of the entire plate was the sauce- a romesco (red pepper and almond) sauce. Now, I kinda feel like all calamari should be served with the sauce at the bottom. No more losing your piece of calamari forever in the ramekin abyss of dipping sauce on the side. The bread was delicious holy moly. It is freshly baked on site and it was divine. The crust was firm and the inside was soft-just perfect for soaking up the olive oil and balsamic vinegar while still experiencing that satisfying *crunch*. The bread/oil/vinegar is complimentary, as it should be! I've been to a few other restaurants where they charge you for the bread. Are you serious, other restaurants!? Lastly, we shared a margherita pizza. I enjoyed it. The crust was very thin-wished it was maybe a tad bit firmer. Other than that, the sauce was delicious as was the actual taste of the crust. Just amazing. Now I'm not the HUGEST pizza eater, but my Italian companion gave it a thumbs up. Overall, I am definitely going to be back here...and I'll definitely be getting the flank steak spiedini!! read more

Coming from NYC, I am really picky about my pizza. This place was good and catered to my dietary restrictions. I got the spicy, red pizza pie with cherry peppers, onions and olives.

3 course prix fixe! The lunch special is a great deal. 3 courses for $16. The first course there's a choice of 2 salads, a predominantly tomato one, or a predominantly arugula one. Main course is pizza, which is either margherita or something equally boring. You can upgrade to a fun pizza for $5 extra. The dessert is a choice of gelato. Sometimes they have a special gelato that is $1-2 extra. They have wine and it's good. Service can be good or slow, depending on who is working, so if you're in a rush you may want to sit inside and not on the patio because sometimes they forget about you out there. Their patio is in an alleyway so it's not as crazy as patios right on King, which is nice. Overall this place is delicious. I definitely recommend the prix fixe. read more

Priviously tried the pizza here which is really one of best in town. This time, I tried the pasta which was a big mistake. Avoid the gnocchi at all cost, it's absolutely tasteless. It was obvious at the first bite and when I adressed the issue to the waitress saying that their pizzas are much better than their pasta, she smiled and agreed without proposing any exchange. Very poor customer experience. Won't come back. Bummer. read more
