Best Pizzerias in Hamilton

A Memorable Dinner at Pizzeria Libretto - University Following a later afternoon at the TSO, we had such a fantastic dining experience at Libretto. From the food to the service, everything exceeded expectations in the best way possible. Starters: We began with the Meatballs – a mix of beef, pork, and veal in a rich house sugo, topped with shaved pecorino and served with Neapolitan pizza points. While they were enjoyable, I’ll admit they didn’t quite hit the same note as they did when we first tried them back in 2019. Mains: The pizzas were the real stars of the evening: Funghi – A white pizza loaded with cremini mushrooms, gorgonzola crema, garlic, thyme, rosemary, fior di latte mozzarella, and pecorino. The combination was rich, earthy, and absolutely perfect. Housemade Sausage – Another white pizza featuring panna, fennel sausage, caramelized onions, fior di latte mozzarella, parmigiano-reggiano, chili oil, and fresh basil. It had just the right kick from the chili oil, and the sausage was packed with flavor. Both pizzas were spot-on and lived up to Libretto’s reputation for incredible Neapolitan-style pies. Drinks & Dessert: We paired our meal with a Negroni on draft and a glass of red wine recommended by our server, Jenna, which complemented the meal perfectly. For dessert, we treated ourselves to two tiramisus, and they did not disappoint. Creamy, light, and so satisfying, they were the perfect way to end the evening. Service: Jenna made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, she showed what professional service looks like. Despite being busy prepping tables when we arrived, she immediately paused to greet us with a warm smile and get us seated. Throughout the evening, she struck the perfect balance of attentiveness—never hovering or being overly fake. We never had to look for her when we needed something, whether it was a drink refill or a question about the menu. She took my allergies seriously, promised to double-check wi

Our server was excellent. He made one suggestion that made our meal very enjoyable.

Been here probably 10 times and every time is always amazing. Food is great, service is great, ambiance is always nice. Cocktails are very good. A must to get the gelato every single time, it changes often.

We were a party of four people and reservations are definitely recommended as the place is small and every table was filled. We found the fig and honey bruschetta to be very delicious. We all ordered different main courses which were all delicious. We highly recommend the tiramisu for dessert. An overall great experience and we will definitely go back.

We had a wonderful evening at Claudio’s to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The service and the food was outstanding! I would highly recommend Claudio’s!!!
