"Named after two of the owners’ grandmothers, this Verdun pizzeria might be more stylish than eating at your Nonna’s place, but it’s certainly got the equivalent level of heart. There are 13 pizza options including a namesake one topped with black olives and pecorino, a pistachio-dotted pie slathered with a Grana Padano béchamel, as well as pasta and dessert options like an Earl Grey panna cotta or an ice cream sundae with espresso-flavoured gelato and almond sorbet." - Joel Balsam, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff

"Have a hankering for zeppole in the Verdun area? Rita is among the more recent additions to the city’s zeppole scene, but its version — piped with pastry cream and topped with an Amarena cherry — is classic." - Valerie Silva
"Residents of Verdun needn’t venture off for some creative Italian fare. Rita’s menu changes often but has been known to feature beef tartare served with focaccia, fried Brussel sprouts with a parmesan and pecorino cream, vegan pizzas, and some always-compelling pasta and dessert options." - Karin Murray-Bergquist
"A popular wood-fired pizza and fresh pasta spot opened nearby on Wellington Street in 2018, Rita is the other establishment Sophie Bergeron co-owns with Marc-André Paradis and Frédéric Leblond and the one she decided to concentrate her time on after closing Wellington." - Valerie Silva
