Nous étions 2 & avons commandé un repas de moules chacune & une pizza à se partager (en sachant que nous en rapporterions). Par contre, la pizza est arrivée au moins 10 minutes après que nous ayons fini de manger les moules.
I was here simply because they are a gluten free option for one of our guests. The room belies what is to come, its contemporary well divided & pleasing to the eye. No overcrowded areas, the noise level is fun but non intrusive as many other BYOB places.
For the rest its a BYOB chain so what can you say about the food. The appetizers were given a thumbs up by some of the guests. I had a few of the calamari which were actually better than expected having been well cooked so the batter was crispy.
I tried the pasta which a friend had rated as good at our last visit, I found the linguine overcooked which can be forgiven as I like my pasta on the hard side. The sauce cannot be forgiven, it was bland & very overcooked
Others had the lasagna which disappointed also.
I must say it has to be expected in today's environment.
The service though was good & attentive despite a full house in a raetaurant that must hold over 200 persons
Liike many chain BYOB restos expectations should be limited. Ottavio's however has a super funky decor in a vast room that is beautifully divided. Some higher end restuarants could learn a thing or two.
The menu is limited to pasta pizza & Moules. Sounds sparse but when you think about it it makes for some great advantages in th end.
Such a menu means the food is fresh especially during the Mon-Wed nights when the moules are at volonte. The pizza was OK but I must say i asked for anchivies & hot peppers & I actually tasted the anchivies.
The salad & salmon appetizers were very respectable although the bread was a little limp as if it was being stored in a plastic bag.
Coffee was actually quite good & the service was prompt discreet & timed well,Ottavio pulled this off despite it being a chain, here also some higher end places could learn a thing or two.
Should you go yuup! Can you bring a new date here yup just because the place is well put together...& get a decent bottle of wine it makes all the difference
The calamari were excellent.
Pizza delicious with perfect crust & well made.
Mussels alla marine tasty & fresh. All in all food we ordered was perfectly delicious & the waiter was friendly, & great service!!!!
The only item that we did not enjoy: desserts... Tiramisu was not an actual Italian version. Dessert menu needs improvement.

Revised review: March 2016
We went back, remembering the gluten-free options but this time, the service was not as good as the previous time.
It took forever to get our plates & we went at 5:30pm, when the restaurant was still quiet.
We were with our young son & a 2-hour dinner was not what we had in mind for pizza!
The last straw was when we got charged extra for the gluten-free dessert. It was a raw cake from the company ''Rawsome''…..how can you charge extra for the GF version if the cake is gluten-free to begin with
So I should've asked for the normal version to pay less for the same cake!

We tried it out, looking for gluten-free options (very limited options in Montreal) & we were pleasantly surprised. They really pay attention to every little detail, making sure nothing has been overlooked (separate utensils, G-F bread, even the soap in the washrooms!).
We had a G-F pizza & the mussels which were delicious.
A very special mention to our waiter Jeffrey who was very nice, courteous & attentive.
We'll definitely be back!
This resto is amazing, from the service to the food. My GF has celiac & there not many restaurants that take precautions not only for the ingredients, but for any cross contamination. This is our go to spot for GF Pasta & Pizza. Both the regular & GF menu selections are delicious. The manager, Billy, & all the staff are courteous & always smiling & going the extra step to make your visit the best. Keep up the great work.

The food was really good. We had Poulette mussels, some other mustard mussels & the special pizza. The one that changes every month. This month it was figs, pesto, mozzarella, & honey. The service was a but slow but still good. I also had a creme brûlée it was amazing!
It's just good Italian food... Nothing amazingly special.
I would go back.
