We had an amazing & delicious meal while on vacation in Montreal. They have a special allergy menu & were able to accommodate our child with allergies. We also were extremely impressed with the food!
Nous y sommes allés à 3 ce soir avec la petite de 2ans & demi & avons été super bien servis. Ils sont bons avec les allergies au gluten & produits laitiers & s'y connaissent. Les recommandations du serveur (George) étaient vraiment à point. Ils ont été super accommodants avec notre fille & elle a même eu droit à une boule de crème glacée! Le restaurant idéal pour des gens qui ont des intolérances & les gens "normaux" haha!
Great wood-stove pizza. Extremely noisy environment. Best for a party, not so good for a quiet date-night. Asked about allergies right as we were being seated. Very allergy-conscious restaurant.
Nous avons eu un jeune garçon avec nous qui avait des allergies & le restaurant a été très attentif, le tout s'est très bien passé & nous avons eu une soiree tres agréable !
Ottavio offre des repas ayant de très bonne quantité, d'excellente qualité & sécuritaire pour les allergies. Cependant, l'endroit était quelque peu bruyant.

Malheureusement, cette fois-ci, le service fût moyen.
Allergies gluten & produits laitiers & on me mets un beurre avec mon pain sans gluten. L'huile & vinaigre balsamique sont arrivés une fois que j'ai eu terminé de manger le pain.
Pour la bouffe, tout fût très bon, comme à chaque fois.
Souper entre amies / délicieux & chaud - avec excellent service * ils ont un menu & attention particulière pour les gens avec allergies au gluten / Lactose / arachides
What an absolute pleasure to be able to sit in a beautiful restaurant (after showing our vaccine passports) & see an actual allergen menu! The gluten free options abound, but I got the garlic bread & the Québécois pizza. The server was great, extremely friendly & the first thing he asked is if anyone had any allergies. I said I have celiac & am gluten free & they switched out my water glass & my cutlery. These are kept separate for guest safety & to alert the staff to the allergy. Even the gluten free water is in a separate pitcher to avoid cross contamination. The plates are red instead of white to ensure no mistakes are made. My husband (without allergies) had the lasagna which came in a huge portion & he loved it. I highly recommend & would gladly eat here again!
Amazing service & delicious food! They take spectacular care of anyone with allergies. It is so nice to be able to go out for a meal & not worry about getting sick. I've been often & will continue to do so.
