Three visits, all successful! Great choice of food, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, all delicious! & three times served by our favourite waiter Benjamin. We'll be back!🙋🏼
La pizza avec gluten était délicieuse.
Par contre la pizza sans gluten n'était pas bonne du tout. Il est pourtant si facile de faire une croûte sans gluten goûteuse & moelleuse avec de bonnes garnitures.
Manger sans gluten peut être savoureux, je vous suggère de trouver une nouvelle recette de croute de pizza. Je vous propose aussi d'améliorer la carte des desserts sans gluten. Il serait si facile de mettre un Gâteau sans gluten sur la carte des desserts. C'est ce que nous aurions pris pour la fête de notre amie. Dommage. Nous sommes allés dans votre restaurant puisque une personne doit absolument manger sans gluten. Elle était déçue de sa pizza, par contre la mousse au chocolat état bonne ainsi que les moules frites aussi. En tant que restaurant qui s'affiche sans gluten très sécuritaire, Vous devriez améliorer la carte & les recettes.
Nous ne retournerons pas au restaurant ottavio à moins d'améliorations des pizzas sans gluten.
Finalement, Lorsque l'on fait un réservation en français le sondage qui suit par courriel devrait être en français. J'ai reçu le sondage en anglais.
Merci

It's our second time at this restaurant. We were delighted to discover it. We have members with celiac disease in the family. Outstanding service, attentive staff. A good choice of meals, a great variety of gluten-free options. The meals are tasty. Overall we think it's a fantastic place. We are highly recommending it!
Great restaurant for a family where some members follow a gluten free or vegan diet & some don't have any dietary restrictions at all. The ambiance & service was wonderful, not to mention the food! Everyone was impressed, & the consensus was that it'll be our "go to" restaurant for special family dinners in the future!
Décoration réussie, un service courtois. Malheureusement la nourriture était très moyenne. L'entrée aux escargots goûtait absolument rien, C'est la première fois de ma vie que je retournait un plat, on me l'a changé sans problèmes. Les pâtes sans gluten était vraiment moyenne & manquait d'assaisonnement. Les moules avec la sauce méditéranienne étaient ordinaire, les frites donnaient l'impression de restant, la mayo est arrivé 10 minutes plus tard . Au désert nous avons choisit les beignets Ottavio; Une vingtaine de bout de pâte sucrés, trop sec, au bout de trois on en avait assez. Le cappuccino toutefois était parfait. Conclusion; resto de quartier, ne vaut définitivement pas le détour.
Great restaurant! Food is amazing & staff is very friendly! Love that they have a gluten free menu since it's not always easy to find restaurants that offer this. They take allergens very seriously which is much appreciated!
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.
De l'accueil à l'au-revoir, notre expérience à été sublime, que ce soit la nourriture, l'ambiance (musique & décor) ou notre serveur. J'insiste sur la performance de notre serveur qui a été accueillant, compétent, professionnel & plaisant. Je trouve aussi sublime que le restaurant offre un bon menu végétalien & sans gluten... cela dit hautement que la satisfaction du client est une priorité chez Ottavio. Merci de tout coeur pour la belle soirée & je reviens, c'est certain !
Amazing food & service. If you want to take your time more, ask them to wait a bit in between appetizers & dinner. Awesome for Celiac & gluten-sensitive individuals!
Hi, I'm celiac & it makes it quite difficult to go out for dinner with friends. However, with restrictions now lifted, we invited friends to Ottavio's last week. They are not celiac & have no gluten intolerance. They have never been to Ottavio's. They were impressed at how Ottavio treated them as well as how I was treated. So careful with everything... even the glass of water. We all enjoyed our food especially me! Fries & Pizza with no worries. What more could I ask for? The waiter was very kind & efficient! I could not tell if she was smiling because she was wearing a mask but it certainly sounded like she was. Thank you for being a great hostess & thank you for allowing us to have an evening without worries :)

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!
Je suis toujours tellement contente de manger sans gluten, les pâtes & la sauce bolognaise, entre autre, sont super bonnes. Servies très chaudes, ce que j'apprecie particulièrement.
Je vous & nous souhaite une reprise d'affaires rapide & satisfaisante.
Merci
Louise
