“The food is exceptional. You won't find better Italian food. We shared escargot, I had Cannelloni, my hubby had veal Parmigiano. My sister had filet mignon, my sister-in-law had smelts. The range is impressive. I didn't have room for dessert, in fact I brought some home.It was a birthday celebration, and we were unable to bring in our own sugar free cake (2 bdays, same day, both diabetic) so that's my only regret.Great server. Nick! A wonderful night. We had a party of 8 and unfortunately unless you were in the middle you couldn't communicate with others, it's very loud. We have been there before and will be again. Thank you!“

“Went back to Town for the first time since 2018. Food and drink is still good but I do dislike that they merged the menu with Citizen. They used to be distinct and have different reasons to dine at, now it’s basically the same restaurant that takes the best from both and removes a lot of other options. Service was quick but it did feel a bit like they were trying to rush us out to turn around the table. Prices were fair.“

We were probably the youngest people there. The service was extremely slow, possibly because old people are not in a hurry.The food was so much better than I had expected. Very delicious, expect for “scalloped potatoes”.Also there was some sort of sweet thing which we decided was “apricot” and when I asked the waitress what it was she said “…yeah… I don’t know.”The ham was good.“

“My boyfriend and I went out for dinner on Saturday. We’ve been talking about a date night at La Strada for months and finally found time for a Saturday night reservation. For reference we are late twenties/early thirties. When we got there the owner (*assuming) was telling the 3 older people ahead of us that he would come back for their jackets once the table was ready. When we said our names we were walked to the table immediately but he didn’t offer to take our jackets or say “enjoy” none of the sort. We were the only ones with our jackets at the table. Not sure if this is because we were two at a table for four, or if maybe they had no more coat hangers…The restaurant was completely full and it was quite loud. When the food came, my bowl must have been right out of the oven. The server didn’t mention anything and I burnt my finger trying to push it directly in-front of me. When I asked for ice he simply walked around to bar and got some ice in a cup, placed it on table and walked away without saying a word. No apology or acknowledgment. The food was amazing.. every bite was 10/10. If it wasn’t for the taste of the food, I probably wouldn’t go back. It felt as if they weren’t taking good care of us… and i can’t help but *assume* it is because of our age. The server wasn’t rude but he definitely wasn’t going above and beyond to make it a great experience for us. It appeared as though he was taking better care of other tables around us. We ended up tipping 20% on a $200 bill. I’m willing to go again because I liked the atmosphere and the food. I’m hoping it was just a one off and a very busy Saturday night.Wheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are downstairs and a few steps to go inside restaurant. I would not recommend this place for someone with difficulty doing stairs.“

“Overall a great pub in Ottawa's little Italy. Awesome selection of beer. We were there with a large group and the waitresses were on top of everyone's orders. My only negative is, it was a little small for a large group, but that said, it was still a good experience overall.Parking: It's a busy area so it may be a short walk from the restaurant.“

“Excellent experience at Zolas. I have Celiac disease and after reading the reviews on the Find me Gluten free app, I decided to give it a try. They did not disappoint. Our server was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the risks. She helped me with the menu and reassured me about crossed contamination. The food was excellent! The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. We will return and tell our friends!“

“The quickest and tastiest Filipino food in Ottawa. Prices are affordable and it’s best if you go during lunch, when the food is most fresh and there’s an abundance of variety! If you have a sweet tooth, go for the Halo Halo. You won’t regret it :)“

“Ordered online at like 3 am on a saturday night. Food came hot, well priced, and the chicken parm sandwich had absolutely no business being that good! The sauce was amazing, and the chicken crispy, bun toasted and high quality. Love this place! The calzones are also great when I come.... To nitpick, fries could use a bit more salt, but aside from that 5/5, delicious.“
