Overall Ottavio offers a dependable Italian dining experience suitable for families, groups and casual meals and is often considered a favorite.
We were warmly received & sat at our table. Waiter was excellent & when he was told one of our guests was gluten intolerant, he immediately swapped out the cutlery & made sure she got a gluten free bread roll. Crab cakes were ok, a little mushy & fishy for my taste. The arancini were good but on the small side. Pizzas & pastas were very good. I understand that with BYOB restaurants, that their prices are usually higher but found the pricing too high. $31 for a small gluten free pizza & my Americans was $27 but had to add $3 because I went with the PAN version. A bit too pricey for this category of eats.

Newest review ,July 2024 ,all you can eat mussels. Food good,service good,but prices are getting too high .2 meals,no entrees or dessert or coffee 88$ with tax & tip.Pricey Most recent Feb 2024 dinner special on pasta night at restaurant, food was excellent good service,prices on special reasonable. Decent meal & service,although a bit rushed asked server to wait between entree & main dishes but both came at nearly same time.
Service was very slow & restaurant was half full. We went for my daughter's birthday she loves being able to check off what to eat in their kid's menu. We were 6 which includes my two kids & it was very long. My daughter did not get her meal first which is the usual at other restaurants mainly the Ottavio in laval. I had to pace outside with my son in his stroller because it took so long to get the bill, I paced close to half an hour. Much quicker & better service at the Laval location. New menu items were interesting, we had the zucchini fritter it was tasty. Left disappointed on the service front.
Nous avons bien aimé notre expérience au Ottavio. Les pâtes étaient succulentes, la décoration du restaurant était moderne & le service était rapide. Attendez vous toutefois à mettre le prix car c'est quand même assez dispendieux pour le type de nourriture qui est servie.
Resto BYOW. Bon pour les fêtes. Beaucoup de places. Beau décor. Grand stationnement. Bon menu avec une bonne sélection de pâtes & pizza. La nourriture est bonne. Je préfère la pizza.
Atmosphere & service was really good. Restaurant was very empty for a Friday night. Food very mid, got lasagna & garlic bread, wasn't impressed by either dish. Server was extremely nice but won't be returning.
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
Le repas était très bien le service de base aussi & l'accueil aussi, mais côté de la cuisine, un petit problème nous a déçu à notre première visite, on a dû attendre plus d'une heure pour nos assiettes de lasagne & cheveux d'anges végétaux ,les portions sont grosses, mais les prix aussi 😁
The first thing that attracts you is the 60s decade atmosphere, followed by the food. Important factors include polite staff & reasonable prices. The most notable aspect is that you can bring your own drink. Overall, it's a good option for weekends.
