We were welcomed at the front door, sat where we liked. The server was extremely friendly and polite. We ordered lasagna, caneloni, chicken parm and ?, along with garlic bread with cheese. Dinner was served with a fresh baked bun and butter. All the meals were very good, tasted very fresh and flavourful, overall a very good experience and will definitely be back. As opposed to the standard "chain" restaurants this is the type that I seek out, owned by a family for 35 years, meals made by hand and with pride, and you are made to feel appreciated. Take a chance on this restaurant, you won't be dissatisfied.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Ottawa that I've tried so far…read more You can tell the food is made from scratch and everything tastes fresh and homemade. The chef himself comes out to take your order, which really adds to the authentic Italian experience. The portions are generous, and if you ask for your pasta spicy, they actually use hot peppers instead of just sprinkling on chili flakes. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. We also tried the pizza, which was excellent with huge slices. There are plenty of gelato flavours to choose from, and both the homemade tiramisu and panna cotta were absolutely delicious. It's a smaller restaurant with a patio, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going with a larger group. I'm still giving this place 5 stars because the food and the chef completely won us over. The only downside was the service from the servers. They weren't particularly welcoming when we arrived or throughout the meal, and at times it felt like the menus were just being dropped onto the table rather than any real interaction. It didn't take away from how incredible the food was, but it's worth mentioning because with service that matched the kitchen, this place would be absolutely unbeatable. We'll definitely be back.

After we ordered, we waited at least 30 minutes for our water and drinks. The server was nice but to not even get water on the table until food is already coming is pretty bad. In terms of food, the calamari and fried shrimp were delicious. But unfortunately the pizzas were underwhelming. I was expecting an authentic Neapolitan pizza, but this isn't it. The pizza didn't taste bad but it just was not what I was prefer. The crust is thin-ish which I like, but too bready. The amount of cheese reminds me a bit of an Ottawa-style pizza, and the pizza is on the floppy/soggy side.

It was also quick, but maybe it was because we ate early in the day. We tried a veggie pizza and a burger pizza. The veggie had chunks of tomato which was okay, but the rest of the veggies were perfect. The small pie was a good size, light dough, not too crazy with the flavor though. I would have liked garlic flavors to show through. And the burger one was incredible, burger meat, cheese... bread, what's not to love. We will try it again if we are in the area. Thanks!!

You haven't had delicious pizza unless it's been pizza from here - or back in Italy.

Mmm. Whatcha waiting for? You've gotta eat here! (Bonus - indoor space is so sleek and the bar is fully stocked!)

Luckily I didn't come in at a crazy time. The service was quick and friendly. I started off with the sourdough bread with cultured butter. I loved that it was the right size where you don't end up full on bread. The cultured butter was a nice touch but they didn't offer just a chunk where you feel you have to use all of it. (the difference is cultured butter has more flavour and a bit tangy). For the main I decided to go the red pie road and ordered the Sweet Tony. My oh my how delicious this was. That hot honey really added some fun flavour that cut through the Fior di Latte and the basil added that freshness it needed. The pie was the right size for two people however if your party is larger perhaps order two pies! I will definitely be stopping by and trying a new pie next time I'm in Ottawa.

We had come here on a Sunday evening after walking by it and noticing that there weren't too many…read moreguests. We were seated at a table in the inside of the restaurant, which was actually quite warm as the main doors were open, which minimized the coolness from the air conditioner. We were served by a nice middle-aged gentleman, whom provided us with menus upon arriving, giving us ample time to decide. Since we weren't too hungry, we settled on sliced bread with butter (which was $8.00), and a margarita pizza. The bread had a strange burnt taste to it however, with the butter, the burnt taste wasn't as apparent. Also, the amount of seeds on the bread's crust were overwhelming, which made us mostly taste the seeds as opposed to the bread itself. We also found the price much too high for sliced bread; many restaurants provide sliced bread for free however, this restaurant charged an exuberant amount for it. The margarita pizza looked appetizing upon viewing it for the first time however, once we had bitten into it, the cheese on the top was overwhelmingly salty. We were surprised, as margarita pizza usually doesn't have cheese that is that salty. As well, the price for this pizza was $20 +, which once again, we found much too expensive for what we were receiving. Overall, we wouldn't come back to this particular restaurant. Although the service was attentive and the atmosphere was inviting, the food wasn't very good, and it was overpriced. We certainly wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for an authentic Italian meal.
