We were delighted to find this spot on a Tuesday evening after recently moving to the area. Lovely food, great service, cute both outdoors and indoors. Reservations are probably a good idea on weekends, I'd think, based upon how many people were there on a weeknight. Fantastic Beet salad, excellent quattro stagioni pizza.

We tried the smoked salmon, bolognese, carbonara and meatballs. I highly recommend carbonara, creamy, glossy, and perfectly twirled.
Espresso martini was surprisingly smooth — better than most pubs. The bitterness of the vodka was beautifully softened — no harsh bite, just bold coffee with a velvety finish.
Specially thanks to Sam for the excellent service & the strawberry lemonade soda was so refreshing!
Already dreaming of round two.

Got the Arrabiata with chicken. The pasta was ok but the chicken was very dry.

Wonderful experience!! Went for my wife’s birthday and did not disappoint. The waiter was incredible, the calamari was extremely tender yet crisp, bruschetta was phenomenal. The Caesar salad was the most average of all that I had ordered but even that was amazing. Will recommend time and time again.

Super high quality pasta. Watch out for the candies at the door, the flavor may surprise you 👀

My starter house salad consisted of mixed greens and tomatoes, made soggy by the amount of dressing that it was tossed in. The pescatore was so disappointing. The scallops and mussels tasted of nothing, the sauce was completely lackluster with overly large pieces of red pepper tossed in as, what felt like, an after thought. I never like to leave a bad review but I was so disappointed. Our server never, at any point, asked if I was enjoying my food.

The food is delicious and the ambiance on the patio is very welcoming, less so inside. Service is ok, however they seem to be overwhelmed. The food was prepared in good time.

Great place for a lunch meeting or dinner. Nothing mind blowing but consistently good. The service is always great. I love their patio.
I love it that when we order pizza and pasta to share they make this perfect and exquisite plate, also the staff are always the kindest people. Definitely my favorite restaurant in Ottawa!

This a great place for a nice meal with family or a date.
The menu has a nice variety, including fancy adult beverages.
The seasonal pizza is even done in quarters in the traditional Italian fashion which was appreciated by part of our group.
I will be back.
Parking: The plaza has a lot of spots but you may have to walk down the row a ways on busy evenings.
