Canal Street Eatery and Market

I visited this spot because of this one-time largely marketed happy hour deal. It was wonderful! The surrounding environment is definitely corporate but inside of the restaurant space it feels like a hidden lounge gem.

The food is definitely just good. It wasn’t anything special. But the deals this particular night in June were great! Kind atmosphere! Would return if they were doing a similar event.

We booked a few weeks in advance for a Friday late-afternoon lunch/early dinner with my family. Street metered parking was easy enough to find. Upon walking in, we checked in with the hostess, who seemed unsure where to seat us. We eventually ended up in the very back — which was actually fine since we had our 6-year-old with us.

Service started off a bit slow, likely because it was busy for a Friday afternoon. It took about 15 minutes before our waters were filled, but they were warm, so we had to ask for ice.

Ordering here is set up so you can only order the salad first, then after you finish, you can order the pasta and pizza. The salad was fresh, flavorful, and a great start.

For the main course, we had the sausage pizza and the prosciutto pizza — both delicious, though I personally would have liked the crust to be a bit more charred. My absolute favorite dish was the Cacio e Pepe pasta, and the carbonara was also excellent — creamy, balanced, and not salty.

Since we were dining with our little one, we couldn’t eat much more, but we left happy after about an hour and ten minutes. Overall, a tasty experience despite the slow start. I’d definitely come back, especially for the pasta.

A nice bonus: kids eat free under 12, which is great for families.

First time here, and will definitely come back. Had the italiano option and beyond worth it. Both salads were delicious, had the carbonara, cacio e pepe and rigatoni pamadoro and all were great. Wrapped up with the spicy soppressata pizza and that was good too. Come with an appetite.

Dominic and Joey the bartenders were a complete vibe. It was a completely cute place and the all you can eat offerings were pretty impressive. I plan to go back again for happy hour to check out some of the other menu items and of course to have the great bartenders mixed me a few drinks!

Food selection was terrible

Food was great. Hostess was kind and patient. Bartender was nice. But our server was not good. She ignored us the majority of our visit. Took at least 5 minutes, although it was probably more, to greet us. Then she took a long time to get us our drinks and food order. She never came back to check on our pastas after they hit the table. She never asked us about drink refills. She walked past us a dozen times and never even did a quick check in. We watched her check on everyone else around us. Manager only stopped after he saw a plate of cold pasta on the table. Needless to say, I would not recommend.

Waited a whole hour just for them to say they was not taking walk ins and had no reservations available

Our server Spencer was a delight! I recommend making a reservation. One of the hostesses was brash and very un-inviting, we got some pushback when asking for a low top table saying we would have to wait for one as there were plenty of empty tables around us. They don’t allow you to place your entire order at once which was inconvenient but our waiter was quick and attentive. The pasta comes out fast, smaller portions, the pizzas are pretty good and have a good variety or meat free options if necessary. They do charge $10 for a to-go box FYI. The place was a nice ambiance

Had a quick stopover before my train departed and ordered pickup of some delicious gnocchi and a green tea latte. The service was excellent-- a very friendly bartender immediately communicated that we were waiting on my food and kept me entertained while I waited the 2-3 minutes. I was having trouble balancing everything with my luggage and he offered to help.

The food itself was great-- I only wish I'd known the lattes come unsweetened so I could have specified some honey be included

A romantic place and good to bring your date here. The food here and the atmosphere were quite good. It's quiet and easy to talk and it is so romantic inside. The food didn't take too long to come out. Our server was nice and happy to give you an idea of what to order. The price is not bad. If you come here for the first time and don't know what pasta you would like, I recommend ordering the pasta fight. It's huge and good for sharing. The fish was good too. It's quite hard to find the parking tho. You can choose between self-parking at another building or the same building.

We stopped by this place on our way to the Union Station - and what a gift we received! The food we ordered was delicious and elegantly served. The Bismark pizza especially shined! It had light, crispy dough, and the topping was a symphony of fresh and savory flavors. The unexpected addition of an egg on top added creaminess and blended perfectly into the cheese.

The servers were very attentive and kind and the atmosphere chic and cozy.
