28 Best Italian Restaurants near Manotick

“Sometimes it just has to be a pizza. When it is, we go to only one place: Mano City. The food is made fresh and as advertised: customizations are never any problem. Service is always courteous, and when, for example, I've been waiting outside of my car, they've even brought the pizza out to the car. The wait times quoted are usually accurate within a minute or two. While there is no restaurant, it certainly has a lively ambience. Thoroughly recommended.“

“Had a great Saturday night supper here, the food was amazing, delicious calamari melted in the mouth, the atmosphere was buzzing and staff very delightful and professional. Must admit the lychee martini was one of the best I’ve had, and it packed a punch. They make their own bread and I’d come back for that alone it was so good.There’s a great patio, which will be wonderful when the summer arrives.“

“The food truck has transitioned into a restaurant now. I really love their Paneer Ghotala Kulcha and Channa Kulcha. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are affordable for everyone, while maintaining high quality and delicious taste. Must try food places in Ottawa.Vegetarian options: It is pure vegetarian restaurantParking: Open parking lot“

“My first time there. I was in the area so I stopped in for some lunch. I ordered the gnocchi Alfredo. Oh.My.God!! I can honestly say that was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. The gnocchi were so fluffy and the sauce was amazing. Extremely friendly service as well. I’ll definitely go out of my way to get some more of that!!“

“Amazing quality food meat is fresh, sauce and veggies are great and bread is picked up fresh from bakery every morning. Frankie has great customer service, food came quick and very reasonable price at 14$ for a buffalo wrap combo. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area.“

“From crispy fried calamari to heavenly pizza, pasta, each bite is a testament to the talented kitchen staff. Expertly cooked salmon and savory chicken dish was delectable. And for dessert, indulge in the delicious tartufo and tiramisu. With impeccable service and a cozy atmosphere, it's more than just a meal. Thank you!“

“I love eating here! I usually grab a burger combo for lunch if i'm feeling a bit lazy- Super crispy fries and pretty good portions as well. I've had the pizza too! It's tangy and good and doesn't have that overly doughy feeling a lot of Ottawa pizza has. The ladies here are very friendly; Absolutely give their food a try!“

“I think this is the best restaurant in Barrhaven. Order here consistently. Portions are great. You can order direct which is nice. Sneaky the best pizza in town as well but don't miss the Chicken Parm or there other pasta dishes... Oh and garlic cheesebread!A real gem!“

“Cyranos is about service and ambiance. We have had some of the best restaurant service ever at Cyranos, though kitchen is sometimes slow. On our last visit, a meal took 1hr to arrive but we were comp'd a glass of wine, which suited us fine.The food is good, but not outstanding. IMO, flavors and preparation are excellent but food is under-spiced/salted - the crowd is a bit older, so the chef may be catering correctly to it ?.Overall, Cyranos is a great place to grab a classy date-night dinner in the west end of Ottawa.Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate Gluten Free for pasta but not much else.“

“Service was very slow. washrooms were terrible with pee all over the floor. Wait staff messed up our bill twice. Ended up being overcharged for a drink. Food was OK but nothing spectacular for the price I paid. The medium and medium/rare steaks looked the same. I was very disappointed for our evening out. I wouldn't recommend the Cambridge location.“

“Another amazing evening at Babbo to celebrate my Mums 77th birthday. Allan and all the staff were so attentive to my Mum, she has dementia and sometimes bringing her out can be a challenge- she was truly beaming and had the best time! Thank you Babbo- for a very special evening!“

“Came here for the first time for Easter dinner with my family. I chose the Ham and scalloped potatoes option, my dad chose the lamb, his girlfriend chose the cannaloni and my boyfriend had the Chicken Alfredo.The clientele is a bit older than average. We were probably the youngest people there. The service was extremely slow, possibly because old people are not in a hurry.The food was so much better than I had expected. Very delicious, expect for “scalloped potatoes”.Also there was some sort of sweet thing which we decided was “apricot” and when I asked the waitress what it was she said “…yeah… I don’t know.”The ham was good.“

“Okay. I know I posted a lot since I’ve been in Ottawa, but I have to post about this restaurant. My daughter and I are halfway through our pasta and we have been sharing both pastas because it is so good. I love the vibe in here. Family owned. All the waitresses are so sweet. Service was quick. Food was quick and delicious. Some thing that doesn’t happen often. If you want to go and have Italian food, actually authentic Italian food, this is the place. This is a must visit in Ottawa. If this was in Hamilton, I’d be here every second day. Trust me, it’s worth coming here.“

“The three of us all had a different meal and all three were amazing. Best food I’ve had in a long time. The club sandwich and poutine were ridiculously good and my wife’s Philly cheese steak sandwich was tender and delicious and my daughter’s chicken parm was out of this world too. They nailed all three out of the park!“

“As usual, Hog's Back Restaurant, makes an excellent pizza! I tend to order the 6 ingredients on two pizzas special for takeout, which is what I did last visit. Yummy! Delicious mix of cheeses, sauce and all the other fresh ingredients. This family run business also has a great atmosphere if dining in. Thank you for the many years of service.“

“A great place to have a meal or take out. Service and food are excellent. Very cosy place to eat in and the menu is extensive. We have tried quite a number of items on the menu, including several appetizers(calamari fritte, fried zucchini, spicy smelts), salads, pasta entrees and house specialties. Everything was fantastic! Excellent wine and coffee selection as well. Always a great experience.Parking: No parking issues. Loads of space available.“

“Excellent experience at Zolas. I have Celiac disease and after reading the reviews on the Find me Gluten free app, I decided to give it a try. They did not disappoint. Our server was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the risks. She helped me with the menu and reassured me about crossed contamination. The food was excellent! The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. We will return and tell our friends!“

“Everything was excellent. We came for my son’s birthday and they made him feel so special. The servers were very attentive, the food was great, and we really enjoyed our visit. We’ll be back to this location for sure. It was a nice atmosphere.“

“I love the food here. Incredibly fast service at 5pm on a Saturday. Justine was our server and she was fantastic. She was very friendly, always there when we needed a refill or more bread. The owner is an incredibly kind man as well. He greeted us at the door with a big smile. After clarifying our servers name with him for this review he gave us a $10 food voucher for a free dessert. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience and will be dinning at this location again! Thank you Bady and Justine“

“The quickest and tastiest Filipino food in Ottawa. Prices are affordable and it’s best if you go during lunch, when the food is most fresh and there’s an abundance of variety! If you have a sweet tooth, go for the Halo Halo. You won’t regret it :)“

“in my opinion, the best pizza in the city- been a customer for many years with my family ! took a bit of a break since we moved a bit further out but now that we are closer again its going to be our go to! worth the price because they don’t skimp out on toppings ever ! if you like thick crust this place is for you☺️! also a must get is their house made garlic dip!! thanks guys!“

“Went to Colonnade Pizza Carling Ave, for lunch today as we had a craving for pizza. Back in the late 70s and 80s, I used to go to the Original Colannade pizza restaurant on Metcalf St. as they had "Thee" best pizza around. After having the pizza from the Carling Ave. restaurant just want to say, same great tasting pizza.My niece and I walked into Colonnade Pizza and were greeted by Suzy, a very cheerful server. We ordered a medium half combo and half Mediterranean, the combo included pepperoni, mushroom and green peppers, and the Med. had black olives, Festa cheese, artichokes, and sweet red peppers, which my niece excluded from her half. The pizza was cooked to perfection and mouthwatering. The crust was so light and tasty. A tray of chili oil, chili flakes, and parmasan cheese accompanied our pizza so we could add on what we wanted.It was an excellent pizza and a great lunch. Service by Suzy was excellent and made our meal more enjoyable to eat. If you never tried a Colonnade Pizza, you're missing out! So next time you get that urge for pizza, give Colonnade Pizza Carling Ave a try. You will be happy you did ! Cheers!Parking: As Colonnade Pizza is located in the Fairlawn Plaza off Carling Ave., Parking is not a problem.“

“Went to get a slice in the late afternoon and the owner informed me I had just won the Pizza Slice Lottery for getting the last slice that’d been sitting. Still tasty. Will be back for a full pie.Donated $25 in his honour to the Ottawa Food Bank for his generosity.“

“If you're a pizza lover, but got tired of having repeated simple pizzas .I can strongly recommend you this pizza place. They have various kinds delicious pizzas. I tried poutine pizza last week it was so good. Today for the first time in life I tried Margarita pizza it sooooo tasty. I loved it definitely I will try again.“

“Once I first arrived I was greeted by a lovely hostess very kind, and beautiful smile I believe her name was Dorothy. The food was amazing and my server Anna was lovely she too was very nice, great with customers. Had a great dinner. Definitely coming by again.“

“Have gone many times mainly because we use our comps from casino to pay for meal. The food is very good. We enjoyed Caesar salads and lasagna. The service is always excellent and many times we've been looked after by Tanya who goes above and beyond every time. She has been an employee at Rideau Carleton since the buffet days and has always been extremely helpful. We will continue to go there on casino nights“

“2 Medium pizzas(pepperoni lover's and grilled chicken rustico), cheesy pull apart bread, 16 chicken bites, cinnabons and 3 dippings sauces for $65... a fair price.The pepperoni lover's pizza was good, I find the pan crust to be too thick but my partner enjoys it more than the handmade crust.The grilled chicken rustico was really good, I recommend it with the handmade crust or even thin crust would be good, I'm guessing.Chicken bites were really good, they have many options to choice from. We went with salt and pepper and garlic parmesan both very delicious.The pull apart bread was really good too. I was expecting it to be heavy but it wasn't. Quite enjoyable.The cinnabons missed the mark. You can barely taste the cinnamon. The icing appears to be made with powder sugar, there wasn't much flavour. Can't recommend.“

“The food was good and the service was really good. It's a decent sized restaurant, family friendly but with a bar. You can watch the game, or even go for breakfast. It tends to be a quiet place, but can be really busy at peak times. They have a really nice patio during the summer. They have lots of highchairs available for kids and large booths available. They have a takeout section with a separate entrance as well.Dietary restrictions: They have no dairy cheese options for pizza.“
