Bistro Ristoro Reviews
For the price, the service and food was poor. Most of the restaurant was empty. Yet, the bread was burnt. Cleared plates were not removed, server did not understand what was ordered and did not deliver what was ordered.
We had two different pizzas and both were perfectly done. Fresh tasting ingredients and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Bistro Ristoro is a charming family-run establishment in Ottawa, offering delicious Balkan meals and amazing sandwiches. The Georgian bread, Napolitana Calzone, and incredible garlic bread come highly recommended, with generous portion sizes perfect for sharing. The XL cheeseburger is a unique dish full of flavor and pairs well with Chianti or other excellent wines and cocktails. The pizza features a thin crust that is simply delicious, and the Mediterranean-style dishes are definitely worth trying. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with beautiful jazz and blues music creating a cozy setting. The staff, led by Vlado, is friendly, professional, and accommodating, making guests feel right at home—even during sudden rainstorms. Guests often praise the freshly made food and the hospitable service, with the owner and server leaving a positive impression. A hidden gem with fabulous food and top-notch service, slightly off the beaten path but well worth visiting.
