38 Best Italian Restaurants near Manotick

“My husband and I went for our 11 year anniversary ! We had amazing food , service , and the atmosphere was truly amazing. ❤️🥂“

“Great food for a decent price. I had the bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries and a drink and honestly the burger was much more filling than I thought and the burger itself was great and I would highly recommend it, super cheesy and the beef was great. Fries were alright, might’ve been a little too crispy but they were still good and the gravy that came with it was also very nice. Also the people were nice, server was kind and patient with me and the place was nice to sit at. All in all great place would reccomend“

“We celebrated my mother's 85th birthday at Mr. B's last night and it was fantastic. The food was amazing, our server was amazing and really seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. The owner was very accommodating and attentive and came by several times. We will be back for sure.“

“Found this gem among Barrhaven's Italian pizza restaurants. The pasta dishes hit the spot with rich flavors, and their dessert corner is pure temptation. Such a lively spot with a welcoming crew who make you feel right at home. Between the mouthwatering meals and cozy atmosphere, it's become our go-to Italian place.“

“Super nice service and very delicious food. The carbonara was a bit of a surprise for me, as I lived for a while in Italy, but never had a Carbonara with onions before,... but maybe it's a variaty of a specific Italian region 😅😎 which I haven't heard of 🤔 Overall : it's a five star experience with brilliant staff and atmosphere 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍🎉❤️“

“Had a wonderful time at the new Barrhaven location. Food was good, staff was friendly and overall it was a great experience.“

“Best service at this location compared to other east Mario’s or any other restaurant had a slight issue with my meal but the owner /general manager was very fast to deal with it and offer a solution and top it off he took it off my bill definitely will come back“

“I visited recently with my extended family for my aunt’s celebration of life. The staff were amazingly considerate to our needs. My son and I have a number of anaphylactic allergies, which we made the staff aware of in advance. The staff were so kind as to point out which items would be safe for my son, and which to steer clear of. I then asked if they might be able to make me a dish that was no longer on their menu, and they obliged. It was just as delicious, if not better than I had remembered! 10/10 service, and 10/10+ food! We’ll be back soon, my son is still talking about the delicious Mac and cheese!“

“Ordered the vegetarian pizza, chicken wings with honey garlic sauce, and deep fried shrimp. The owners/staff were absolutely amazing people and took care to provide incredible service to every customer. I didn’t even get any pictures because of how much we were enjoying the food 😅 The pizza was absolutely the star of the show, a must try! We will be returning <3“

“6 stars !!
Best eggs benedict ever !!
Excellent hollandaise sauce, eggs cooked to perfection and served on top of cappricola ham that was an excellent twist that put it over the top !!
Attentive service without being intrusive...
Early bird discount is 20% - can't wait to come back!“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had from East Side Mario’s!!
Fresh, tasty, and well made.
I know it’s a chain restaurant which is usually not my thing, but we gave it a shot.
Place was very busy.
They have new items on a menu, partner got a spicy chicken and pasta dish, really enjoyed it.
( I’m lactose intolerant and everything on the new menu was covered in cheese)
Big portions also.“

“Sandwich was amazing! Glad I will be working near this location for the next few weeks! I know what I'm having everyday for lunch! 😊“

“I absolutely recommend Dalmoro’s Fresh Pasta To Go.. the freshest pasta that one can ever find in Toronto. their pesto is my all time favourite. Their housemade classic Tiramisu and Nutella Tiramisu deserves a special mention !!!“

“Highly recommend this place.The original authentic taste of food.“

“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“The cannolis dessert is so good except too little strawberries n berries. A little bit more will be perfect. The main courses so delicious! The chefs should be at Casino Lac Leamy.They lack Michelin star chefs at Lac Leamy. Cheers to the chefs at Caffe Italiano.👍👍👍“

“Really good food and great service. . . ill be going back there whenever im in town..“

“Friendly staff and great selection at fair prices. Everything we tried was delicious - would 100% recommend and go back again. My only wish would be to one day have a delivery option 😉 but that won’t stop us.“

“you have to try the prosciutto mushroom pasta.... omg... it is deliiiiicius !!! creamy... perfect! everybody loved their meals... Hidden gem in west Ottawa. Friendly service as well.“

“Good food and nice atmosphere. This restaurant is one of our first choices for dining out. Thank you Maddi for your excellent service.“

“We've had great experiences at The Hog's Back Grill & Bistro this season! Everyone enjoyed their perfectly grilled hot dog with crispy and hot fries. The service was efficient and friendly. It's lovely to enjoy the sound of falls while having a fun treat on a summer day. We'll be back again and thank you!“

“Huge thank you to Carling location Dominos Pizza for their generosity to us Queensway Carleton Hospital nurses on med/surg. We ordered today and was told that it was on the house! THEN was given a free lunch voucher because, and I quote, “we want to keep supporting front line staff and let you guys know how much we appreciate you”. SO KIND ♥️ thank you so so so much!“

“Was heading downtown to the Colonnade but the traffic was backed up at Woodroffe Avenue so decided to try the Carling location. Ended up being a very good decision. Italian salad and pizza as good, if not better, than downtown. Our server, Roman, was excellent. He provided great service and you can tell he enjoys what he does, many thanks. No more trips downtown!“

“ordered pizzas for a party - they came exactly as scheduled...extra appreciation, however, goes to Allison? who realized that two identical orders came in and she took the time to phone me to verify if this was correct (which is was not - a computer glitch)....now THAT is great service!! Will use again!“

“Spent 15 minutes trying to reset my password and creating an account. Can’t reset my password and my phone number is tied to an account. Called 8 minutes ago to order 2 medium pizzas. I was told I could not get the special and pay for extra toppings. I gave up an ordered from somewhere else. Like c’mom. Gave you 4 stars because I didn’t want to mess up your rating but perhaps this can help you sort out what seems to me like issues that could make the experience better.“

“Excellent spot for any meal of the day!

Gabriel’s is one of those rare places where you feel at home the moment you walk in. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and personal—they truly take the time to get to know their regulars.

The portions are generous and the value is unbeatable. Whether it’s their hearty breakfast plates (with fresh fruit on the side!), crispy, flavourful pizzas, famous garlic dressing, or the mouth-watering steak wrap, everything hits the spot.

It’s a place you can bring the whole family, relax, and always leave satisfied. We come here at least once a week—sometimes to dine in, sometimes for take-out—but always with the same great experience.

Highly recommended!“

“We've been loyal Pizza Pizza customers for a long time, especially at the Bank and Hunt Club location, and they consistently deliver! The pizza quality is always top-notch. This time, we ordered for both our immediate and extended family, and everyone absolutely loved it.

What makes Pizza Pizza even better are their ongoing special deals, which make their delicious pizza incredibly affordable. Plus, their rewards program is excellent, adding even more value. It's why we keep coming back!“

“I stopped and took a small Greek pizza. Got it home and it was terrific. The crust and all toppings done perfect. Well done ?“

“I recently visited this locationand was impressed by how helpful and knowledgeable the staff were in explaining the deals. But I notice how hot it was for the employees working there. Improving their comfort (e.g., better cooling solutions) could further enhance their performance and customer experience. Keep up the great service!“

“Great Food, Great Price, Great Service“

“The staff goes above and beyond with their pleasant and attentive service. Beyond serving great pizza, this hidden gem offers an amazing menu that makes it worth visiting any time of day. The friendly team creates a welcoming atmosphere for every guest.“

“On Saturday, August 16, 2025, I was trying to order Pizza Hut through their app, trying to get the special of buy one pizza and pay $1 for the second one.
There's a couple of choices I wanted that were not available, then when it came time to pay, I tried 3 different cards, nothing worked.

I called the pizza hut location, and I ordered over the phone, and gratefully they took my order, I paid at the door when they delivered.
I'm grateful that I also got the choices I wanted, and they could have given me the same special, however, due to problem ordering on the app, they helped me get a different promotion.

Once the order was placed, apparently I had called the wrong store. John fromthe store then called me and left a message, cancelling my order, but I had my phone on silent so I missed the call. When I called them back, they had called the proper location, put in the order, put in the special, and got everything all setup, so they corrected the problem even about me calling the wrong location.

Truly that means it was great service,
when I got the pizzas, they were exactly what I ordered, hot and fresh, and great leftovers.
I'm truly grateful for the person that took my call.
When I first called, he also asked me if I tried to order online on the website, and I said no, because I was frustrated with the app, I just wanted to call and order if that was ok, and he helped me every step of the way.

I'm truly grateful for John, for the great service he offered and for the great delivery of the pizzas. I always love Pizza Hut for the stuffed crust pizza, they have been great comfort food for me, and always delicious. The boneless wings are incredible, as are the Cinnabon cinnamon buns. (I didn't feel like the extras this time, but got them in the past, and they are amazing.

Technology may not always be perfect, but people like John make life better for helping out in so many ways, from taking the order, compensating for the app, correcting the situation, correcting the store, and all with a smile on the phone. Thank you so much for such phenomenal service.“

“I had a great experience at Pizza Hut! The cashier was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain all the current deals to me. Thanks to their help, I was able to save money and still get everything I wanted. It’s not every day you get that kind of service, really appreciated the patience and friendliness. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
