Everyone has been raving about Pizzeria Libretto so I took my open minded palate down to Ossington for a slice.
First off, rumoured waits of 30- 45 minutes are accurate which is okay for a restaurant with so much hype. My issue is the whole timing of the dining experience. After the wait, our waiter came right up and poured drinks and took our order. No more then 10 minutes after we ordered our pizza and salad, did the waiter return with our food.
Now fast food is great when you are with kids or at McDonalds actually expecting to be served in under 10 minutes, but at a restaurant like this, the pizza should be coming out piping hot and with enough time between my order and when it is served that I believe as a patron that you took the time in your kitchen to make it from scratch. The pizza was luke warm and the tofu artichoke salad was four small slices of smoked tofu with two tiny artichokes and lettuce doused in dressing for $9. I was floored.
The interior decor is funky and tables are close together - a bit hard if you want to have a conversation with the person you are dining with.
I would not rush back to Libretto. I am faithful to Lil Baci on Queen East for making some of the best Neapolitan Pizza in Toronto.
