Ottavio garners broad praise for its flavorful Italian fare and especially for a gluten-free program that feels safe and well managed, with separate utensils, dedicated dishware, and clear attention to avoiding cross contamination that keeps celiacs confident. The food is frequently described as fresh and delicious, with pizza crust highlighted as excellent, arancini and Caesar salad among favorites, and desserts like mini donuts; the option to bring your own wine is a welcome bonus.

For events or groups, the restaurant is viewed as a strong and flexible choice, with thoughtful gluten-free accommodations and menus ranging from simple to refined; overall it is seen as a reliable option for gluten-free diners and pizza lovers, even if experiences can vary.
La nourriture était excellente! J'avais écrit une note lors de la réservation, de préférence être placés près d'une fenêtre à l'avant du restaurant, c'est moins bruyant, car à l'arrière, il y avait 2 grandes tables de personnes, donc beaucoup plus de bruits. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai enlevé une étoile.
We really enjoyed our evening out at Otavio's. The staff was very friendly, we had a very quiet table in the corner & the food was excellent. Bringing our own wine of course added to the great experience. Strongly recommend visiting this restaurant
Worst service ever. We waited 1h30 for the meal, only 3 of us got our plate, my mom had to wait another 15 minutes to get her plate. We asked to talk to the manager, he said he was the owner & he put the blame on his employees & on covid?! Didn't want to take responsibility for anything. & the size of the plate were very small compare to before.. I guess this is all because of covid!? Don't waste your time & money on this place! So many better options around!

Bonne bouffe, bon service (avec la serveuse Josée), ambiance agréable. Les prix raisonnable (même s'ils ont augmentés & c'est comprenable avec les 2 ans qu'ils viennent de traverser).
Positif: Un menu vegan avec plusieurs choix & protéine Beyond meat. Service rapide & courtois. Aucun problème lors de l'arrivée sur réservation. Ne pas se sentir pressés(es). Négatif: plats assez dispendieux, cependant de bonnes portions, aucune salade de format entrée, très bruyant. Super expérience, apportez votre vin & nourriture très bonne. Belle soirée! 😊
