Rocco Agostino, executive chef and partner of Libretto Restaurant Group and Enoteca Sociale in Toronto, and Hilary Drago, director of operations, with Libretto Group, join Canadian Pizza editor Colleen Cross in a podcast to discuss the change in model from pizzeria to bar and entertainment spot with a new mission and a new name, Bar Libretto. This well-respected Toronto business, focused on VPN-certified Neapolitan pizza, recently switched gears to rebrand its flagship location on Ossington Avenue in Toronto as Bar Libretto. The menu includes Neapolitan pizza, small plates, and easy‑to‑share bites, cocktails and wine, and, with two distinct happy hours, the atmosphere is designed to encourage people to linger. Learn what inspired this shift in focus and how the team managed the transition with many moving parts. We hope you enjoy this pizza-focused conversation.
