Super cute place. Staff were amazing. The pasta was so delicious! We went for my boyfriends birthday and they made it special with a scrabble happy birthday on the table. It was cute and i would absolutely recommend trying it out

The BEST pasta in Ottawa. The ingredients are high quality, serving portions are generous and the garlic bread is perfect with it! Service was amazing as well :) thanks for a great experience Marlo <3
It's a very cozy and neat place! Great experiance from the people that are there! Now on to the food. I got the Ragu Pasta and I have to say, it was very delicious. We also got the Garlic bread appetizers which was delicious.

Nice place overall. I got the rosey and Spicy and asked for more spicy and they did, it was great. Portion size was a bit more on the smaller side so if you’re hungry upgrade to the large. The garlic bread was great, good amount of garlic. Would definitely go

Had the shortrib pasta and it was a bit too salty and the pasta way too al dente...sorry really wanted to love this place more. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. Not a fan of natural wines, would prefer to bring my own and pay a corkage fee

Pasta destination! Unique twist on classic Italian dishes is an absolute must try. Cute little space with excellent service.We had the creamy pesto and rose & spicy two of the best dishes on the menu. The pesto was so fresh and full of flavour. The rose had the perfect amount of heat and the brown butter brought it to the next level.Will be coming back to Ottawa just for this pasta.

Came here a year ago and had a good experience, so much that we wanted to come back for valentine's day. Unfortunately we won't be coming back. Portions are overpriced for what you get, my gnocchi was replaced by ricotta cheese, so when you ask for cheese they don't put it on top of your pasta, they replace your pasta with it so it was even more lacking of food. Got a tiny $17 espresso martini, but it did taste good. And the food came out just warm, so halfway through eating, it's cold. Same thing with our appetizer, was hard to enjoy cold food. Overall felt robbed for what you get, especially when they used to give more. Staff are very friendly though!

It was a really enjoyable experience and we will definitely go back. The staff are lovely and the food was really good. One thing we enjoyed was their homemade flavoured soda's-amazingly refreshing and even though it was cold outside, a real treat!
A little disappointing. Espresso martini was $17 and didn't taste of alcohol and in the tiniest glass possible. Don't ask for ricotta bevause theyll add it in place of your pasta. Our appetizer was cold which was disappointing because it would have tasted so good if it weren't. Gnocchi was good but needed salt and pepper and the same problem, it wasn't got cold 3 minutes into eating it. Kinda felt robbed considering you used to get what you paid for, so it's a bit lacking now. Staff are very sweet though but i don't think we'll come back sadly

Excellent food, you can tell it's hand made and fresh pasta. The sauces are perfect as well. It's quite the pricey spot, but as a special occasion it's always a good pick. The garlic bread is awesome, load up on it!

This restaurant had a really great atmosphere and efficient service. It is quite small so it is probably best to book a reservation in advance. The portions are a good size for the price, but the drinks are on the more expensive side. Would go again regardless. The dessert was also really good.

Vibes? Check! Incredible, fresh food? Check. Kind, welcoming staff? Check. Great drink options including non-alcoholic beverages? Check! This is an Ottawa gem! Run, don't walk over to Dreamland Café.

A wonderful spot that feels like being in a friend's kitchen table, fantastic food with plenty of options for all dietary needs. Easily one of the cutest restaurants in the city.
Easily the best pasta in
