| - I love Pizzeria Libretto. A friend and I went looking for food at around 4:30 Sunday afternoon, we heading for Get Real on Ossington but it was closing when we arrived. We continued on and decided we would try Pizzeria Libretto. I do love pizza, it is probably my favorite food so I thought a nice thin crust pizza would be fab. When looking at the menu the waitress pointed out the Price Fix special which was an excellent deal for $25, let me review. It started with Mixed Bruschetta, we had 3 pieces with different toppings, a eggplant curry topping, fiore di latte with fennel and a goat cheese with chives. Delicious!! Then we shared our appetizers, a caprese salad of heirloom tomatoes with fiore di latte and an amazing vegetarian pea soup. Up next was the pizza, my friend ordered the Wild Mushroom and I had the Rapini, we did exchange a slice or two and both were delicious. We ordered them with the Spelt crust and we were shocked that the crust was actually spelt since it had a very light taste and texture, more like you would expect from a wheat crust, it was really, really good. Our deserts were Strawberries with Zabalione and my favorite Panna Cotta with Blueberries. The Panna Cotta was so light and tastey, I have learned it is a custard made with gelatin instead of eggs.
So it is funny, we went looking for a late lunch and ended up having an amazing 4 course dinner! I really enjoyed it, the ingredients are very fresh and light tasting (and local), the décor great and our waitress was very nice. There wasn't anything to not like including the price, all that for $25 each. We arrived right before the dinner rush so we didn't have to wait in line and we had our choice of seats. I would definatley go back (including taking my chef sister from Kingston to see what she thought) but I would probably stick to the off peak hours as it was getting really busy by dinner time.
