| - I ate at Pizzeria Libretto on the Danforth years ago, before my Yelp days, and wasn't a fan of the pizza (crust was too burnt) so avoided the restaurant after that. But I came today because it was a friend's birthday lunch, and figured it was time I give this resto another shot.
It was actually pretty good! My pizza was less burnt this time, although there were still parts of the crust that I had to chop off. But the marinara sauce was actually really nice, as was the house made chili oil.
I got the lunch prix fixe ($15) - arugula salad, margarheta pizza, and espresso cinnamon gelato. The arugula salad was delightful. One of the better salads I've had in a while. I think the reason I liked it so much was because it wasn't soaked in the vinaigrette. Instead, it was lightly dressed, which allowed the pear, walnuts and cheese to bring the flavour to the dish. The espresso cinnamon gelato was awesome too - neat flavour combination.
I think this resto would be a go-to for me if I liked the pizzas more. $15 prix fixe is a good deal, and the location and ambience in the resto are great.
