  • 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.
