| - Everything about this place was just okay. Not great but not horrible. They had a really good beer selection, but as the only wine drinker at our table, I was disappointed. Our table started with a charcuterie platter. There wasn't anything wrong with it - the candied pistachios were delicious - and I get that they were trying to go with their signature by serving it with pizza dough, but it didn't go well together in my opinion. I had the pizza with housemade sausage, caramelized onion, basil, and chilli oil. Others at the table had the duck confit pizza, the other sausage pizza (with red sauce), and the signature margarita pizza. I liked the flavours on my pizza - the housemade sausage was good. I did not like the crust. I haven't had a lot of other Neapolitan pizzas, so I don't know if my dislike was specific to pizza libretto or to the style of pizza, but it felt soggy and even though I could see the blistering and black bits from the oven, I didn't taste any of the charring like I expected to. I also sampled the duck confit pizza and while the pear and rosemary went well with the duck, I thought the duck was too dry and the Rosemary pieces too large (whole pieces off the stalk - I would have preferred them finely chopped - I don't like a big piece of rosemary). Service had its ups and downs. They split our bill, including dividing up our shared appetizer, which was very nice of them. However, as the DD that night, I didn't appreciate having to ask for more water twice (especially when one time the waitress was refilling the other side of the table but didn't notice the lack of water on my side). I get that restaurants only seem to care about serving you if they can make money, but that's really unfair to those who want to drink water. This place is not on my list of places I would repeat.
