Came in last night for my girlfriend’s birthday and had an excellent time. The pizza was fantastic. Our drinks were very well made, excellent boulevardier. I’m not usually a a big fan of olives but the olive and salami appetizer was fantastic as well. Love that they source from Luciano’s. Fantastic little spot with a great atmosphere.

Pizza is great! My fav is the margarita with buffalo cheese. Have tried a few other kinds as well as appetizers and everything was really great, hot and fresh! The atmosphere is nice but it is on the louder side for a small place, that would be my only complaint.

Had a fantastic dinner tonight, the food and service were both phenomenal. I believe our servers name was Chris, and he was wonderful. Very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed, and overall pleasant to talk to. We had the saffron arrancini, the margarita pizza, and the zucchini pizza- all fantastic. I highly recommend this cute, vintage 70s Italian spot!

I’ve been here a few times and loved their pizzas. The dough was great and their toppings were fresh. The last 2 times I’ve been very disappointed. Their pizza dough now tastes like a cracker. It’s so hard and thin and often burned. Very disappointing. Not sure if the chef changed but the quality is not the same. Not returning again. It’s unfortunate because it’s a restaurant with a great ambiance and great service.

Cool atmosphere, spectacular service from Joey, and yummy food!
We had a fabulous tomato salad to start and two pizzas for 2 adults and a toddler. The hot honey and chili oil on the table is a great touch, both were delicious and I used them liberally.

Enjoyed an evening out here on a Saturday night. Started with the saffron risotto balls. They were tasty and hot. The Cesare salad was large and great for sharing. Tasty and liked the bacon the most. Use the lemon to liven it up.
The pizzas were as expected and authentic. I had the Funghi pizza, it was very good but lacked a bit of seasoning. My wife had the Crudo prosciutto, burrata one which was good as well, but pricey. The crust was thin and crunchy which I really liked. My only small critique was they were out of numerous wines on their white list. All the bottom 3 whites were not available so we bought a 75$ one. The wine was excellent but for a quick pizza , I feel they should have a few more wines at better price points and at least have options on a Saturday night at 730. Overall great vibe and food was what I expected. Service was good and quick.

Excellent mushroom pizza, thin and crispy with great flavour, loved the chili oil on the side. Huge Caesar salad, and the shishito peppers with cheese were delish. Nice Etna red wine. Chris was very cheerful and friendly. Highly recommend.
Great experience! Ordered a Pizza and a tiramisu. The pizza had great flavour and texture. The tiramisu was rich and had a hint of coffee flavour. Tha addition of the dark chocolate was amazing. Food was on time and the service was friendly. The seating area is a bit small so it will be noisy if it's packed ...... but it's not unbearable. Overall a great experience of it's within your price range.
We went early due to late reservation. Staff were very accommodating and service was excellent. Food seems to be top notch quality. Perhaps a little on the pricy side but all costs seem to have gone up. Overall, very enjoyable.
Pizza was honestly top 3 in Ottawa and it could be #1 to a lot of people. Price was fair. Server was great. Restaurant is very very loud which is the only slight downfall but will definitely be back. Loved it.
