“The food was decent, making it a solid choice for those craving Indian/Punjabi street food. The restaurant offers a few small tables and boasts an impressive wall poster, enhancing its visual appeal. However, the overall atmosphere could be improved as it feels cramped. During my visit, an overpowering orange scent from a vaporizer filled the space, which was a bit too much.Vegetarian options: I think they are a pure vegetarian place.“
“Went back to Town for the first time since 2018. Food and drink is still good but I do dislike that they merged the menu with Citizen. They used to be distinct and have different reasons to dine at, now it’s basically the same restaurant that takes the best from both and removes a lot of other options. Service was quick but it did feel a bit like they were trying to rush us out to turn around the table. Prices were fair.“
“Second time here. Great meal. Our server was amazing. Had the burrata, Caesar salad and carbonara pizza. Not a fan of the pizza but that was our own fault. Just didn't transfer from spaghetti carbonara to pizza! But I have had the pizza before and it was delicious. It is loud but it's a younger crowd. Highly recommended if you are in Little Italy in Ottawa.“
“Delicious authentic wood-oven pizza! The pizzas are huge and a great price compared to other spots in the city. Would definitely go back and recommend to others. The menu has a nice selection of different pizzas for everyone to enjoy - vegetarian, tuna, steak, etc.“
“We ordered some platters and salads from Roberto’s Corner for my daughter’s outdoor christening and the food was outstanding. Incredibly fresh, flavourful and excellent value. There was absolutely no work on our part; just remove the lids and serve. Roberto was very attentive to our needs and made us feel very confident in our choice. We will definitely be ordering from there again!“
“After seeing so many positive reviews about Maple Delight, I ordered the honey garlic chicken delight tonight and it was delicious. It tasted very artisan, in comparison to the frozen pizza taste you often get from some places, and even my two year old (who doesn’t really fancy pizza) downed a couple of slices.The breaded wings were also pretty good and the service was amazing, as my food was delivered despite some crazy weather outside.I’ll definitely be getting pizza here again and will recommend Maple Delight to anyone who asks.“
“My friend and I went for lunch!We saw a sign for $6 slices, but ended up going to dine in.We got a large four-cheese pizza, don't-stop-pop, 2 creamy garlic dips, and a slice of cheesecake.We honestly didn't know the style of pizza that they had (we didn't google), so it was all unexpected!We liked the pizza. However, I think the four-cheese makes for a very oily pizza, as ours had liquid dripping from the pizza onto the pan. We didn't know their style of pizza was thin-crust, but nonetheless it was still really good. The dip was creamy and delicious too!The cheesecake was TO DIE FOR. I absolutely recommend it. $12 a slice, but so so worth.Noor was our server, she was so sweet and constantly checked up on us!A delightful experience in a quiet, clean, and comfortable restaurant. ☺️“
“Nice place overall. I got the rosey and Spicy and asked for more spicy and they did, it was great. Portion size was a bit more on the smaller side so if you’re hungry upgrade to the large. The garlic bread was great, good amount of garlic. Would definitely go “
“Great buns and fresh meat! Had the veal Parm which was very nice and finished off the meal with an amazing cannoli. The staff was friendly and patient. Very happy that they are using good buns that don't fall apart the second a sauce touches them. Will be back to try other sandwiches!“
“Restaurant ambiance looks very nice but I ordered takeout. Although I was the only one waiting for an order they forgot about me. I opted for the steak pizza. It was very good but had a tiny piece of steak on each slice. I even think one slice was forgotten. Next time I will preorder and order a different pizza. I also like thru idea if the “Rotating Pizza” Special. That day it was Chicken Paprikash. Need to ask!“
“Had the Giulia pizza, sourdough, and soft serve. All were delicious. Me and my two friends came for dinner and we loved it. It’s a bit expensive but compared to the quality of other similar restaurants, it takes the entire cake (or pie, if you will). Everything was fresh, and flavourful. I already want to go back for another pizza. So good!!!“
“It has been awhile since I had service and food like this. From the moment you walk in and get greeted you know it's a good restaurant. Impeccable table placement. Great wine selection. Food was amazing. Fresh, made from scratch pasta. Will definitely go again and recommend it to ally friends.“
“We came in around 5:30 on a Saturday after an event at Lansdowne. We were greeted in a friendly manner and brought to the lovely window table. Food was excellent! Diavolo pizza was the highlight, although it was a little soggy (maybe a bit too much chili honey?) Also had the arancini and topped it all off with a delicious tiramisu and (decaf) americano.Only complaint was service was a little slow, possibly understaffed?Strongly recommend to anyone in the area who is tired of the usual Lansdowne fare!“
“The moment we stepped into this restaurant, we were greeted by a warm atmosphere and a menu that promised an exciting culinary journey. Despite a minor error in our order, the staff's prompt and courteous response was impressive, ensuring our satisfaction. The dishes we sampled were a delightful fusion of flavors, beautifully presented and leaving us eager for our next visit. This small oversight was easily overlooked, thanks to the overall excellence of our dining experience.“
“We have been here multiple times, and we have never had a bad meal. In fact, we have never had a mediocre meal. Every meal is not just delicious, but presented beautifully. As a foodie, this place is definitely worth the drive. You can’t beat the food or the view.“
“Delicious food with an incredible gluten free selection. Knowledgeable staff with top notch service. Kind and accommodating Chef & Owners. Side note...there was a party there for a birthday and Chef Nelio sang...what an amazing voice! Multitalented! The very reasonable prices were a pleasant surprise, would have expected to pay more for the quality of the food. Thank you for accommodating our reservation before our show!“
“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!“
“I discovered today, December 23rd 2023 that the wonderful lady who serves me, if she's not there, I don't go in. Well, I discovered today that she is in fact a deer. I know it sounds fantastical, nevertheless it is true. She also happens to be the best deli Slicer in Ottawa. Thanks for allowing me to become part of the Misto family. But that's Marcus in the photo. Happy holidays to all and to all a good night.“
“Been living in Westboro for a few years and we wanted to try this new place that our neighbours told us about. What a lovely atmosphere! The service is very friendly, and they were accomodating for us to send one of their employees outside to our car to give us the pizza!! And the food is delicious!! We ordered a large pizza and the club sandwich and it was served with fries and a delicious salad on the side. Great stuff. Can't wait to come here in the summer!!“
“Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. We've been going to this restaurant for years. It has been our favorite in Ottawa each time my kids needed to carbo load before a competition. Pasta and pizza are awesome! Highly recommend.“
“Great clean atmosphere with welcoming servers. Pizza is #1 in the area along with all the items on the menu.The one server with the peg leg, and the blonde wig is the best! With a slight limp and sometimes the wig turns sideways, she does well and gets the job done!Just remember! Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more, you should never wish to do less.“
“Had an amazing birthday dinner here! Our waiter Sebastian was great, he was so helpful in describing every single thing on the menu. All the food that he recommended to us was so amazing, I loved every single little bite. He was also able to recommend good wine pairings to go with each meal. I loved my experience here, 10/10 recommend!!“
“They have excellent Italian pasta & cooked food that are made onsite. Prices are very good for the quality of their food. You can buy fresh pasta, sauce, cheese, and other ingredients and cook it at home, or choose from a wide variety of delicious cooked dishes to take out. You may even order from their lunch menu and eat it there !!! They also have homemade pies, which are usually sold out by supper time. Check their website for store hours before visiting. They also do catering. HIGHLY recommended.“
“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!“
“Strolling through the Glebe while visiting from Yellowknife, we found this gem. We had such a lovely conversation about cheeses, truffles and even a tasting. It is so nice to have such a warm experience and support local shops. We look forward to enjoying our cheese selections and coming back the next time we visit. ❤️ If you are in the area, stop by for incredible Italian treasures and warm, heartfelt service, and a perfect Americano!“
“It was good but unfortunately not great. There wasn't any sausage for the Fusilli, so we opted for chicken instead. But it didn't work well with the dish. A recommendation from the staff would have been appreciated. The ravioli and fettuccine were good but not great. Very simplified flavors. Pricey for the depth of “
“I came here late at night with a family of 6. We were very hungry and we had the family souvlaki platter plus 6 skewers. We were treated to a delicious and filling feast by the general manager Sari. Great quality, quantity, and value!! Definitely come and try this delicious restaurant .“
“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.“
“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.“
“My boyfriend and I went out for dinner on Saturday. We’ve been talking about a date night at La Strada for months and finally found time for a Saturday night reservation. For reference we are late twenties/early thirties. When we got there the owner (*assuming) was telling the 3 older people ahead of us that he would come back for their jackets once the table was ready. When we said our names we were walked to the table immediately but he didn’t offer to take our jackets or say “enjoy” none of the sort. We were the only ones with our jackets at the table. Not sure if this is because we were two at a table for four, or if maybe they had no more coat hangers…The restaurant was completely full and it was quite loud. When the food came, my bowl must have been right out of the oven. The server didn’t mention anything and I burnt my finger trying to push it directly in-front of me. When I asked for ice he simply walked around to bar and got some ice in a cup, placed it on table and walked away without saying a word. No apology or acknowledgment. The food was amazing.. every bite was 10/10. If it wasn’t for the taste of the food, I probably wouldn’t go back. It felt as if they weren’t taking good care of us… and i can’t help but *assume* it is because of our age. The server wasn’t rude but he definitely wasn’t going above and beyond to make it a great experience for us. It appeared as though he was taking better care of other tables around us. We ended up tipping 20% on a $200 bill. I’m willing to go again because I liked the atmosphere and the food. I’m hoping it was just a one off and a very busy Saturday night.Wheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are downstairs and a few steps to go inside restaurant. I would not recommend this place for someone with difficulty doing stairs.“
“Currently my favourite food spot in town! A creative and very affordable mix of Italian, Indian and more - the food surpasses your expectations every time. I have been going up to multiple times per week and never get bored of the dishes. Beyond the consistent high quality, the owner Ruhul is a fantastic guy. Love supporting this small and special business.“
“This isnt even a proper review, I just ordered these guys off uber eats. From the first bite, as a devout & stuck up Torontonian, 8.5/10, damn good pizza, some of the best in Ottawa for sure. Cheese is for lack of better terms “cheese-E” pepperoni under the cheese (PHENOMENAL touch in my opinion) everything was perfect, it reminded me of pizza as a kid.As an edit: I’m currently a student, these guys are the place.“
“I went to Vespa for dinner with my wife and another couple. The service was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. We had pastas and pizzas. Both winners for sure.The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy.We will definitely return again.“
“What a fabulous treat! My son and I needed to visit a shop on Clarence and the gentleman at the shop said to try Il Vicolo as they had great pizza. He was not wrong! My son had the Carne supreme (I think) and I had the Holy Shiitake. Both were delicious! The steak in particular, on the Carne, wow! The crust was fantastic, chewy and rustic with a fantastic crunch. All around a fantastic experience. We will be back!“
“Strolling through the Glebe while visiting from Yellowknife, we found this gem. We had such a lovely conversation about cheeses, truffles and even a tasting. It is so nice to have such a warm experience and support local shops.

“Amazing Italian food from pasta, salad, panni to desserts - all incredibly delicious! This cafe style restaurant with its friendly and wonderful service has become a favorite lunch spot for our office. They also offer a gluten free pasta option.“
“I attended a birthday party here and it was amazing ?.I discovered that exceptional dining experiences need not come with a hefty price tag. This middle-class gem exceeded all expectations with its inviting ambiance, attentive service, and delicious cuisine. They have a DJ that plays lovely songs to set the mood right and friendly staff. The menu offered a tantalizing array of dishes, each showcasing the chef's skill.Despite its affordability, the restaurant spared no expense when it came to quality, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to craft each dish with care. Whether dining solo, with family, or among friends, Mezzanotte Bistro proved that you don't have to break the bank to enjoy a memorable meal.“
“House of Georgie Sorento's in Ottawa is a hidden gem in the city's culinary landscape. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted with the scent of pizza and a warm smile.Now, let's talk about their pizza – it's incredible. The crust is thin and perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of chewiness. The toppings are fresh and plentiful, and the cheese is perfectly melted. My favorite is the classic combination pizza, but they also have a variety of other options like the House Special, loaded with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. Each bite is a burst of flavor, and it's clear that the ingredients are of the highest quality.And then there are the wings and fries. They're cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful interior. The wings come in a variety of sauces, from mild to hot, and each one is delicious in its own way. The fries are hand-cut and seasoned to perfection, making them the perfect accompaniment to any meal.Overall, House of Georgie Sorento's is a must-visit for anyone in Ottawa. The food is fantastic, the service is top-notch. Whether you're in the mood for pizza, wings, or fries, you won't be disappointed.Mr. True“
“Great premium beer, six bucks during happy hour. Warm inviting staff, Mia, Jen and even Ron. Lots of big screen tvs and a nice homey bar. Lots of regulars who are friendly.Only downside to this place is the washrooms are down in the basement which makes it more difficult for people with mobility issues, or lazy people like me.Nice place to go to for a quick beer and a snack or a full meal.“
“I truly enjoyed the food at cafe mio. I ordered a gluten free vegetarian pasta and the plate was filled with high quality fresh veggies which was very impressive. I really enjoyed their approach at pasta as they do not add any heavy sauces or spices , they just stick to the basics and make it as healthy as possible. Also our waiter was delightful. She helped us out with the menu and was able to understand/accommodate my allergy. We were so full we did not get a chance to try the coffee but I will return at some point to do that!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free options available!Parking: After 5pm the street parking is free and there is plenty!“
“First time trying their pizza. Arrived right when it was hot out of the oven. The crust is excellent. I just went with a cheese pizza which was pretty good, but the sauce needs a little kick to it. Service was friendly when I came for my pickup. Thank you.“
“I used to give this place a 5 star because I love it so much. This time, I'm downgrading a bit. I mentioned before that a place that has the Beer Bible should have beer flights. How can u sample very many of the beers without a flight?! This forces you to buy 10 oz glasses to sample, which is more expensive, of course.The menu has also changed, with a more limited selection.“
“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!“
“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 :)“
“I went in today for dinner. I ran into an issue where there may have been miscommunication. I was angry, they have more then made up for it. This place is extremely recommended. I cannot state how good the service is (sometimes too good...). I very much appreciate how it was resolved even if I didn't ask for anything in particular. Also, no one is to blame but myself. Please do not reprimand anyone based on what took place. Everyone did the best they could.I would go again 100%. This is a great place, I was not a great person. Thank you for being so nice, polite and forthcoming.“
“$$ Lorenzo's is located in a strip mall, but don't let that deter you. The food was great. The service was excellent and quick. The atmosphere is roadhouse so nothing to write home about but totally fine. The Greek salad was good and the kabobs were good. We did not try any of the Italian otpions, but I would go back and try that next time. If you're looking for a good, reasonably priced, quick meal Lorenzo's would fit the bill.“
“Had an absolutely amazing experience last night for my fiancés birthday. Due to the bad weather conditions and all of the weather warnings issued about a flash freeze, they had almost every single reservation cancel on them. They graciously allowed us to continue with our reservation despite us being the only ones in the restaurant, they didn't ask us to postpone or refund our reservation and allowed us to continue as normal. Our server Rory was extremely polite and very kind. It felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves and it absolutely felt like a once in a lifetime experience. The food was to die for. They brought out complimentary cauliflower bites and bread as a thank you for not cancelling and taking the time to come out. And we ordered the Arancini, Penne Boscaiola con Pollo and the Pollo Val'Dostana. The food was absolutely amazing. I'm no food critic, but it all just tasted sooo good. And finally, they brought out this amazing white chocolate cake that was easily the BEST cake either of us have ever had. It turned what might have been just another birthday into an absolutely lovely evening that we will never forget. A HUGE thank you to Rory and the chefs in the back for everything. You absolutely made our night perfect.“
“The very best!! This is my favourite restaurant in Ottawa. The food is always fresh, homemade and amazing! The staff is great and Pietro, the owner of the restaurant, works incredibly hard. His hard work and dedication shows in how good his restaurant is. I am beyond lucky to live in this town to be able to go to Del Piacere. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting fantastic authentic Italian food. I have recommended this place to friends and they all loved it!“
“The food is exceptional. You won't find better Italian food. We shared escargot, I had Cannelloni, my hubby had veal Parmigiano. My sister had filet mignon, my sister-in-law had smelts. The range is impressive. I didn't have room for dessert, in fact I brought some home.It was a birthday celebration, and we were unable to bring in our own sugar free cake (2 bdays, same day, both diabetic) so that's my only regret.Great server. Nick! A wonderful night. We had a party of 8 and unfortunately unless you were in the middle you couldn't communicate with others, it's very loud. We have been there before and will be again. Thank you!“
