J'ai eu un service incroyable ! Nous avons été reçu par Christina, une personne dévoué & à l'écoute. Étant intolérante au gluten, elle a pris le temps de nous montrer en détail du service offert par le restaurant : cuisine à part pour les allergènes, produits sans gluten (pâte, sauce, pain & dessert) & hygiène particulière pour la contamination. C'est un restaurant que je retournerais sans hésité. Vous avez faites ma journée !
Excellent service de la part de Christina qui était très attentionnée, chaleureuse & enthousiaste. Elle nous a réconcilié avec le service à la clientèle qui semble baisser un peu partout depuis quelques temps. Ça fait plaisir.

The food was delicious, especially the pizza. I wouldn't recommend the calamari though, it could have been tastier. The donut with the custard was delicious!

I can't believe how bad this place is. Awful soggy poutine, terrible tasting & overpriced pizza, overpriced chicken parmesan with mediocre taste, ok garlic bread, would never order again. Uber eats gives this place a 4.6 rating & it's absolutely off the mark. So disappointing.

Première fois Très bon il ont prie soin de nous pour les allergies alimentaire merci a toi Mélanie pour ton service & tous les autres service rapide bon succès Ottavio
Wished that there was a bit more bread instead of 1 serving. The Arancini was ok, good tomato sauce, the risotto was not overcooked but lacked a bit of flavor. The Margherita pizza wasn't as good as expected, the sauce was too sour & the crust was hard. However, we recommend the linguine with pears & capicollo, we thought the pears would make the dish weird but turns out very appetising. The pasta were well done & the flavors were on point. Service was great, the waiter came back several time to check up on us but it was very loud at night. Barely could hear ourselves talking.

Ottavio is a great choice for family dinners. The staff is very attentive, especially when it comes to accommodating allergies-which was important for our group. While the food may not be a 10/10 in terms of flavor, it definitely hits the spot & makes for an enjoyable meal. We appreciated the welcoming atmosphere & care shown throughout our visit.
Nous avons partagé une salade César , juste parfaite , bien crémeuse . La portion entrée est suffisante pour deux
On aime bien la pizza americano avec l'huile piquante en accompagnement. Les pennes arrabiata étaient délicieux aussi
Mais, à chaque fois que nous sommes passés, plus d'une dizaine de fois … nous avons très bien mangé
Très bon service .
