| - I've been itching to try this place for a while, but somehow never got around to it. This changed about two weeks ago, where I had the opportunity to come and have dinner here twice.
Few things, Pizzeria Libretto does not take reservations( seems like all the hottest food spots don't), so if you want to come here for dinner get there early or late... peak time, you might be in for a wait...
While Pizzeria Libretto does offer different types of pizza, I recommend going for their classic Margherita or Marinera (like the Margherita but no cheese) for the simple flavour of their tomato sauce. Their crust is amazing, soft and chewy, and very flavourful. They do give your their house chili oil to swab the crusts in, however I don't feel it is really needed.
Order their salad with mushrooms, which is big enough to share with one other person. I suggest skipping their calamari and their housemade meatballs; don't get me wrong they are good, but the mushroom salad is a bigger hit as a starter.
For dessert, their tiramisu is a winner for sure, as a rule I don't like soggy cake, which is what Tiramisu typically is. However Pizzeria Libretto does their tiramisu in a mason jar, and can be described more like a pudding with bits of cake stirred in. I'd say you can share with someone for this, but ... inevitably someone will want the last spoonful, as which point spoons @ high noon might occur.
Service is excellent, despite the place is bustling, but well worth the vist to Little Portugal/Ossington strip.
