Experience why Ottavio is the premier choice by the celiacs. Our reputation is irrefutable.
Ottavio is frequently praised for tasty flavors across many dishes, with pizza noted for a crisp crust and quality toppings. Some mains are described as underseasoned and sauces too thin.

Overall Ottavio offers a dependable Italian dining experience suitable for families, groups and casual meals and is often considered a favorite.
Food mediocre, everything we tried was not what was expected
Tried the octopus, even though it was tender had no flavour & was masked under the hummus it was served with
Cesar salad was generous, either lacking or very little bacon
The big disappointment was the Saumon tartare which was recommended by our waitress that had no taste , however the fries were good
We skipped dessert
Service was pleasant
Le meilleur service que vous puissiez trouver dans la ville, la qualité de la nourriture inégalée & le service mériterait 10 étoiles si c'était possible………. Super recommandé

Food was absolutely phenomenal, as was the service, I would highly highly highly recommend. On top of that, they have an allergen free menu including gluten free with separate dishes to avoid cross contamination.
Phenomenal experience !!! Incredible food blending authentic Italian flavors with a modern touch - the thin-crust pizzas are unmatched. The staff is welcoming & attentive, & the cozy ambiance makes it unforgettable. Huge thanks to Alex & his team for an amazing evening. Highly recommend Ottavio for an exceptional bring-your-own-wine Italian restaurant!

we went with my family all in all 7 people & it was a great experience. Shoutout to our waitress Emma for being super nice, likeable & helpful with any needs. food came very fast & all at the same time. highly recommend
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!

Absolutely recommend this place,great service great atmosphere & excellent food, I had the lamp plate & I really enjoyed, cooked to perfection. It soo delicious that forgot to take a picture:)
Duck confit linguine had great presentation but just tasted very sweet for some reason. My friend's lasagna was really good though. Friendly service but the fact she recommended the linguine which was arguably the worst thing on the menu is a bit of a turn off.
We didn't get the usual basket of bread while we waited for our meal. Pizza took a while to make it to the table. However food was excellent & it never disappoints.
We also understand that there is a lack of staff - & the staff they have is always smiling. I always recommend Ottavio & will always be back for their great food & service.
Hang in there you are doing a great job.
