Food: I had the grilled calamari & pizza was the Quattro Stagione. Calamari was very good & filling, good for take out. The pizza was awesome, I practically licked the tomato sauce from the plate.
Liquor: Red which went extremely well with the pizza (I overheard another table mention that their wines had vastly improved).
Service: Our server was very friendly, but not annoying, paced well to check up on our table. Actually the entire staff was all smiles & giggles despite the frenetic pace and hustle of...
Atmosphere: Rustic(but I love wood so...), warm, trendy but not modern cold. The music was a pleasant mix of recognizeable fun pop, dance & rock music.
Price: $40 per head x 3 persons (I find this reasonable for this experience)
Verdict: I had a smashing time and felt very full. My only complaint was the wait time, a little over 1 hour from original 30-45 min quote which even that was trying our patience. I do havwe to say though that I like (and wish all restaurants adopted) the cell call when your table's ready from the Hostess.]]>

I'm sad for the few people who didn't enjoy Libretto, because my Italian friend and I finally made it out there for dinner recently and it was great.  The prix fixe is an incredible deal, only $25 for   mixed bruschetta appetizers, choice of salads (tomatoes and fresh cheese was divine), any pizza on the menu and a choice of fresh fruit based dessert.  Everything was fabulously prepared, the place itself lively and fun...servers were gracious and expedient...

I make my own pizza and do a pretty good job but was joyfully humbled by my visit to Libretto.  ]]>

Come on! Terroni is way better than this place. 
Libretto is good mind you, really good, but I wouldnt say it's the "best fuckin pizza" like this writer did. 
Like most write ups of this place, it's based 80% on being on Ossington, and 20% on food, because Terroni's definitely tastes better. I would argue if they had an ossington or dundas west location they would top everyone's list.
that, plus the snobby servers here are a definite turn off.

Pizza Libretto served me one of the better meals I have had in a long time. I am a firm believer in expectations. I did my research so I expected the communal tables, and the line ups. I looked at the menu online so I also knew what the prices were. My date and I sat at the bar which actually became just as if not more intimate than a table setting. We shared the buttermilk calamari, cured meat for 2 and olives. The calamari was delicious and perfectly cooked. The prosciutto and capicola were incredible, and the olives were good (there were just too many for 2 people). We then shared the margherita pizza which had crunch and some chewiness to it. The sauce was sweet and delicious with just enough cheese and basil. We finished off the night with my date having the chocolate gelati and myself having a tiramisu. Both deserts were delicious and even the cappuccino’s we had had no bitterness you can sometimes get. Outstanding. ]]>

What a joke.  Waited 1.25 hrs for a table on a Saturday night - but I had to find out what the pizza tasted like.  We ordered 3 different pies to get a sampling.  The dough is authentic, the sauce is authentic but they roll out the pizza way to thin.  Consequently, the sauce makes the center of the pizza wet.  Yuk.
The dried meat platter was excellent.  The overall taste and price of the pizza ($16.95) is not worth it.

Avoid this place.  I will not be going back.  This place can even hold the shoes for Terroni!]]>

Hi Owner of Pizzeria Libretto
I hope that you agree with me. The "OBAMA" mania affects almost everyone including myself & the "OBAMA" pizza just proved it. As you know that Italy is KING of pizza, therefore, I developed the "BERLUSCONI" pizza which would make Italian very proud. I strongly believe it would be the most profitable investement for many generations without any financial risk. Also,it would attract millions new customers not to mention about free commercial for your restautrant around the world!If you decide to add this completely new, very profitable & historic pizza to your menu then more inf. will be available. Now up to you.
Best regards
Walter Bujalski]]>

Just came back. This spot is unbelievable. I have never tasted pizza this good in my life. The dough and crust is sublime. Toppings are unique, and the service is efficient. Will be back soon! (puts other pizza in this city to shame!)]]>

Went tonight and it was fantastic.
Split two appetizers: the grilled calamari and the gnocchi with rabbit and both were perfectly seasoned. Not too overpowering; yet perfectly delicious. 
Then for a main course, I split 2 pizzas: the prosciutto, arugula and parmesan, as well as the mozzarella, house-made sausage and caramelized onions. Both pizzas were unreal, and perfectly complemented each other, one being salty and the other being a savory sweet pie (tasted like there was some nutmeg or cinnamon in the sausage).
I have never been to Terroni, but I feel obliged to just to make a comparison. It'll be hard to find a pizza in Toronto, where the pizza scene is so dim, that can compare.]]>

Terroni's got the best pizza outside of Italy??  If that's true, it's not saying much.  Toronto has lousy pizza in general.  Libretto's is stellar.]]>

pizzas were good but the service was a total turnoff.

our server ("gerardo") was incredibly curt and aloof. his unprofessionalism was astounding. i'm shocked he has a job in the service industry, especially in a new restaurant where the quality of service means the difference between becoming a regular & never coming back. ]]>

Wow!  Can you tell I've been taking journalism classes?  That last post sounded like an advertisement.  Sorry about that.

I'd also like to use this opportunity to say that the house-made sausage pizza was far from too sweet.  It had just enough spice to balance perfectly.  

Just because something is sweet doesn't mean it's dessert.  I think us North Americans are too obsessed with the salty and savory in the main course.]]>

Amazing stuff!

I went with my fiance and a couple of friends on a Friday night.  It was packed but very comfortable.

Terroni?  No way.  This place beats it on pies alone.  The best traditional pizza I've had in the city.

On top of this, the appetizers were amazing (the wild boar prosciutto was a sensory experience!), the desserts were light and delicious, and I was served one of the best americanos I've had in this town.

The service was excellent as well; the good, cheap house white wine was an excellent recommendation.

This place tops the unbelievably pretentious Terroni on taste, service, and style.]]>

No spelt crust, and no notification before we ordered. Weak, as I prefer spelt, and they so proudly boast this in the menu. The caprese salad was great - a creamy centred burrata.  The pizza was the "quattro" something-or-other, and was, well, weak. The service was crap.  The wait was insanely long - like a 2 hour dinner with apps and all, and our waitress never brought us water glasses for our "purified water".  I couldn't hear ANYTHING - I felt like I had just stepped out of an action flick when I left.  The waitress had no idea how to pour wine, so I was quite annoying when she humorously informed us that it was HER job to pour the wine, as she so graciously spilled it everywhere.  She told me to keep my cutlery, but then took it 5 minutes later, only to never return with a replacement.  "All done?"  as I was crust-in-hand, just finishing mine, which is a pet peeve of most to feel rushed. 
I was just disappointed the whole deal, and I, most likely, won't be back.  Just a shame when the place is local, and you know there was potential.  Back to the Golden Turtle!]]>

Went to Libretto on Friday night. Shared a beet salad w. goat cheese & pistachios as an starter - it was pretty good. Our mains, a Margharita and a sausage pizza, were outstanding. The sausage pizza was especially delicious. Reasonable prices, and a casual & energetic atmosphere solidified that I'd be back, even if it's only for takeout.]]>
