Sitting on the grassy knoll right across from Roberto's Corner right now eating my meatball sub. I've found a great new sandwich place in the MacEwen plaza. Great Italian bun with a wide choice of meats and toppings. Very friendly service. I will be back. (And all at reasonable prices).

Big fan! We were heading home from the Science and Tech Museum and when I looked up places nearby to grab something to eat to-go, I found Roberto's Corner. It's definitely a hidden gem - it's inside the Quickie at the Ultramar gas station. You can smell the food right when you open the door and WOW it smelled so good. They had just come out with fresh bread when I walked in, too. There were so many choices (I wanted all of them) and I didn't know what to order, but thankfully there was a couple in front of me who seemed to know what they were doing and I followed suit. I ordered the Roberto's Italian Trio sandwich (spicy version), the porchetta sandwich on special, and I couldn't leave without dessert, so I got an eclair and tiramisu from the fridge. To be honest, I don't remember exactly what I ordered for the sandwiches because there were so many toppings and sauces that whenever they asked me, I basically just said yes lol. I also asked for their suggestions and just said yes to those, too. I really don't think you could go wrong with any of it. Both sandwiches were delicious, but I was more in the mood for deli meat, so I enjoyed the Italian Trio more. Well made, good portions, friendly and patient service. For the dessert, the tiramisu was strong in terms of coffee flavour, which I liked, though I was surprised they were served in glass containers to-go (more overhead cost, I assume?). The eclair was good as well. I'll get a cannolo next time! We will absolutely be back, but it'll be hard to top the Italian Trio, so I'd like to try other sandwiches, but I might also get the Italian Trio, anyway, haha.

Front of the deli. It's inside the Quickie Mart at the Ultramar gas station.

Easily one of the best sandwich shops in the city. My go to is usually the chorizo! Highly recommend it.

Service & Ambiance: Wow... I am absolutely floored. This was the BEST dining experience I had while…read morein Ottawa. A few people had mentioned this place but there were zero reservations available until the following week. So... I called and asked if they could squeeze in a party of two. They were so incredibly accommodating! We had a table for dinner within a minute of me calling. When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly valet attendants. The hostess led us to our table, and our incredible dining experience began. We were greeted by Karsten, our waiter, who had the biggest smile I have seen in all of Ottawa. His customer service was unmatched! He offered a solution for each complication and made us feel like royalty. 1000000/5 for the customer service here! Drinks: Old Fashioned: 5/5. A great job done on a classic beverage. Giovanni's: 5/5. I love tequila and love trying a martini that allows the flavor of the tequila to shine with a hint of fruit. Sauvignon Blanc (Family Tree, Canada): 5/5. A crisp, white wine that is refreshing and was the perfect accompaniment to the carbonara. Chianti (Caposaldo, Tuscany, Italy): 5/5. A beautiful, deep, red wine that went perfect with the lamb and lasagna. I may or may not have a case of this wine on order after dinner... Food: Calamari Fritti: 4/5. I loved how crispy the calamari was, but I feel as though the batter needed a little bit more seasoning. Just a little bit more. Bruschetta: 4/5. I needed a little more flavor in this. The bread was also slightly soggy. But otherwise, the tomatoes were fresh! Lasagna: 5/5. This platter was INSANE. I'm still getting used to Canadian portion sizes. This could've fed 2-3 people. It was delicious. The lasagna was finished in the oven, so the top of it was extra crispy (literally the best). Highly recommend this dish! Spaghetti Alla Carbonara: 5/5. I have to order the carbonara if it's on the menu. This one was incredible. The flavors, the consistency, the lightness of it... everything. I was in heaven with every possible bite. One thing I loved about this dish was that it was not heavy like most carbonara's are. I enjoyed every bite! This was also a 1/2 order, which was still massive. Costolette D'Agnello (Rack of Lamb): 5/5. I rarely ever see lamb on the menu at restaurants and was so excited to try this one. IT WAS YUMMY. I got the 1/2 order of this because we were already ordering so much food. Im so glad I did. It came with potato cakes, spinach, asparagus, and the best carrots. Delicious. Not to mention, the lamb was cooked to the perfect temperature. Forget a 5/5, this dish was a 50000/5. Bravo!

Often my first stop is Giovanni's - not a place from 50 years ago in my personal experience but a place that I found 25 years ago that is some of the best Italian food anywhere. I encourage anyone visiting Ottawa to give them a try. I hope to be back in December. I am not from San Francisco as my headline shows but rather the east coast within 500 miles of Ottawa

Came by for lunch and was empty. Service was attentive and good…read more Zucchini Fries - Zucchini cut into long sticks, breaded and then fried. Soft sweet interior of zucchini was good and outside was light crispy with some nice flavour from seasoning. Ranch on the side to add some fat. Nice to try, but would not get again. Calamari - Lightly breaded squid and lightly seasoned. Definitely needed the cocktail sauce, or ranch from zucchini fries to add flavour. Good amount of squid for the price. Nice to try. Chicken Parm Sandwich - Nice sandwich, large flat piece of chicken with a good amount of cheese and tomato sauce. Bread was decently fresh as well. Fries were undercooked... Would recommend, ask for extra crispy fries to ensure they cooked through. Unlikely to come again as so many other things to try in the area.

The pizza is very good and if you like a gourmet pizza this is the place to go. The seafood pasta is also a good choice. I'm giving it three 3 stars due to the service we received this evening. The server did not ask how our dinner was and in the past the waitress would always ask. We had to ask another waitress for salt and spicy oil for our pizza crust, as the waitress serving our table was no where in site. The pizza was dry and the sea food pasta was al dante, when we mentioned this to our waitress she said that she'd mentioned it to the kitchen. The service was a disappointment to say the least. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant 3-stars is because we've received 5-star food and service pre-COVID.

Giulia - Sourdough with Cultured Butter

This was probably one of my favourite restaurants I ate at while in Ottawa. The atmosphere was cozy…read moreand inviting and apparently it's can be loud at certain times. 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.

A spectacular dining experience…read more The food at this location was very delicious and high quality. I loved their lasagna and how cheesy it was. I also did try out some of the tiramisu they had and I really loved the flavour and the taste of the tiramisu. I also loved the fact how they had a wide variety of different food and drink options you can choose from on the menu at this location. The service at this location was fabulous because the staff were very friendly and helpful towards us when we were being served. Our meal arrived in a timely fashion too, which made this dining experience lovely. The ambiance at this location was fabulous because it was very modern and clean inside the location and I really liked the overall visual appeal of the restaurant. The price of the food and beverages is reasonable considering the high quality treatment at this location. For the reasons I have stated in this review, I highly recommend and encourage you to visit this location because of the amazing food, spectacular service, and great ambiance.

This place came highly recommended by a tour guide we met…read more Made a reservation on the half price bottle of wine day. Bonus. Had a beautiful bottle of Pinot Grigio. 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.

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.
