Started with the garlic flatbread. Lots of cheese, roasted garlic and arugula. I ordered the mushroom truffle pizza. Extremely disappointed. The taste of the truffle was so overpowered with the taste of the smoked Gouda. I ordered it for the truffle. Smoked cheese should not be on this pizza. A friend ordered chicken parm. She was very happy with it. And another friend ordered the linguine pescatore with the wine sauce. Lots of fresh seafood. She was very happy with it. We split the vegan gluten free chocolate cake. Was reminiscent of a hockey puck. Our waitress was awesome. Service was great.

I was seated on the covered outdoor patio, so it was a comfortable temperature. I was served bread and butter pretty fast, which I demolished because bread is good. I ordered the Calamari and a Caesar salad, which came out pretty quickly. The calamari was amazing; it had just the right amount of frying time and a pretty good sauce. After I ate the amazing salad, which had romaine lettuce, parmesan, and croutons. The salad was also pretty good, and I ate it pretty fast. I went with my mom, so she gave me some of her mussels, which were delicious. The waiter saw that I demolished the bread, so he gave me more. Did I say the bread was good yet cause it was GOOD. Overall, my experience at Vittoria Trattoria was amazing and if Im ever in the area again I'd go back.

I might be over-rating this fine Italian restaurant because my wife and I were treated by a friend…read morefor lunch, but it was great. We had smoked salmon on linguine with Alfredo sauce; our host had a dish that contained meat and veggies. The waitress was a lovely woman who took good care of us, although she forgot to bring us bread. The place was quite busy for Friday lunch but it was obviously due to the food. We didn't drink but the wine racks covered an entire wall, and the beer list was more than substantial. We had to park about 72 yards away, but no big deal. Dress is casual, at least for lunch, but don't dress like a road worker or you'll feel out of place. If you've never been here, it's a great place to try, and for a great first or hundreth date.

One of Westboro's little old brick houses that has been converted into a restaurant; lovely warm, paneled interior, with soft music. Linguine Oceana with red pepper cream sauce to die for, and my husband couldn't even finish his chicken parmigiana! The charcuterie was excellent, as was the peanut butter crème brulé. We even enjoyed a Sauvignon Blanc that we had never had before - and we're both former LCBO! Only drawback is that the bathrooms are downstairs, so that limits someone with mobility issues. My recommendation is a 9¾ out of 10!

They first brought out complementary baguette bread (with olive oil+balsamic vinegar), olives & pickled peppers. For starters we had their CALAMARI. it was lightly battered, seasoned well, and perfectly deep-fried. The texture was soft and wasn't rubbery at all! As for the mains, we got the LOBSTER RAVIOLI & VEAL WITH LIGHT LEMON SAUCE. The Lobster Ravioli had a delicious rose sauce that was thickly layered on 6 pieces of rather large ravioli stuffed with just the right amount of ricotta and small chunks of lobster. The Veal was super tender and soft. Although it was pricey for 4 small slices of meat, the quality of each component of the dish was superb. The lemon sauce was indeed light but still creamy and well-balanced. We definitely used the side veggies to soak it all up. Overall, Mamma Teresa offers an enjoyable warm atmosphere with quality Italian food that was well executed !

We had come here on a Monday evening at around 5:30 pm for dinner. We weren't sure what to expect,…read moreas we had never dined here before, and didn't look at the menu before arriving. However, once we stepped into the restaurant, we knew that it would be a tad pricey. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time when we arrived therefore, we were given a round table near the window. Once we were seated, we each received a menu, and settled on our items. The restaurant itself was quite fancy, with the servers wearing formal attire, and the table setting/wall decor boasting an expensive flair. Once we had settled on our meals, we were given a basket of nicely warmed bread, with olive oil mixed with vinegar, along with peppers and olives on the side. The bread was amazing, and we were able to ask for seconds. The basket was never full, as we continuously ate what was placed inside of it. It was a great start to the meal! Once our main dishes arrived, we were surprised to see how much food was included. The chicken cutlet was quite large, with my son unable to finish it. It was also tasty, as I had tried a few bites. My daughter's meatball however had a strange spice which didn't sit well with her. As well, the dish that my mother and I had settled on had various pieces of burnt pasta, and it wasn't too appetizing. Since the prices were so high for each of the dishes, we were surprised that the taste wasn't adequate. Since we had such a positive experience with the complimentary bread, we expected the same for the main meal. However, we weren't too pleased with most of the items we had ordered. I have to give kudos to the service at this restaurant, as we were always doted on, from start to finish. We even saw the manager (or owner) come out to greet all of the guests individually. Although this restaurant was on the higher-end, the food just didn't suffice, and wasn't worth the price that we had paid.

You really can't miss the Sobey's so you should be able to find this place! We were sat very quickly and our waitress was like superwoman! She took our order, brought our drinks and then took our orders all within minutes of arriving. After she brought our orders to the back she came back with some fresh baked bread! The bread was good and she brought the classic north american olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip to our table. We got through the bread pretty quickly and had some great conversation before our food arrived. Everything smelled great, I ordered the Poco Pazzo combination which had cannelloni, chicken and a salad. I cut into the cannelloni first and had a taste. It was alright. The chicken was up next! I liked the chicken, it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was tasty. The salad on the side was alright as well. I feel the meal was ok...I think spending some good time in Italy the last few months let me try some fantastic food over there and changed my bar on Italian food. The meal was definitely decent and will be my standard for Italian food in Ottawa. I think it was one of the better Italian meals I've had in town but not as good as some of the other Italian restaurants I've tried in Canada and definitely not in the same class as some of the places in Italy. My combo for lunch was around $17 and the portions were average size. I thought it was a great portion size for lunch. i'll be back next time I have a craving for Italian and will try something new.

The menu feels like a fusion of Asian dishes & typical pub/bar food. The Lumberjack is from the Brunch menu and is an interesting rift in Eggs Benedict. It's a fried chicken on toast with monetary Jack cheese, bacon, a fried, egg and hollandaise sauce served next to rosemary garlic potatoes. To my surprise, I enjoyed every bite. The potatoes were crispy on the outside with a soft & fluffy interior. The chicken was moist, full of flavor, well breaded, & fried to perfection. I walked away, fully satisfied & with no complaints.

If I were a classically trained musician, I would write a symphony about this place…read more It would start with a leisurely playful melody, appropriate to the giddiness caused by starting your lunch with a classic martini. The notes would deepen as they served the homemade butternut squash soup. Velvety, rich and buttery. As the main course of veal scaloppine is served with a perfectly paired wine, a crescendo of pure joy proclaimed by a whole chorus would erupt! A-le-lu-jah! As the epiphany passes, the tones fade into a sweet conclusion, accompanied by homemade gelato and espresso. This is definitely a favourite on my playlist. But it should be stated, this kind of gourmet does come with the expected matching price tag. Make sure you find a wealthy companion who wants to treat you to something special.

I loved the hand! Our servers were amazing in their knowledge of both the food and beverage menus. We received excellent advice on drink pairings. We were checked on at just the right moments. Really, service was exquisite while also being relaxed. My Buttermilk Fried chicken was the best fried chicken I've ever had, and I look for opportunities for that meal everywhere! Yes, I have a fried chicken 'problem'. Tried a bite of Hub's Little Neck Clams, also tasty, with a wonderful mix of flavours. Tuna Tataki as a starter, also delicious. All in all, a great meal.
