The food was great. If your a calamari lover this is the place to go. Service was excellent. Went back a second time and it was as good as the first time. Prices are better when compared to other places. I would recommend for sure.

Favoritas is literally 9 times out of ten the best pizza in Ottawa. Their Verona pizza is absolutely amazing although I would recommend getting the mediums as they seem to go light on the toppings with the large. Anyways you can’t go wrong ordering from here and I fully recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Slowest service of my life. From sitting down to being greeted took me 30mins, food took another 30mins and another 30mins for the bill.Food quality was good, but the wine we had came pre poured and tasted watered down.Sad that this was our experience as it was recommended by friends.

This is a late review from Valentine's Day 2024. Had to do it. We had one of the best nights of our life. First time here.The restaurant offered a delicious 4 course dinner. All the food was fantastic. And the servers were extremely kind and attentive to any need. Even the owner passed by on each table to make sure we were having a great time. Haven't seen that high quality of service here in Ottawa in many years.Oh, and the live music was just exquisite. Truly Italian vibe.Don't think twice and go! I assure you will have a great time as well.P.S. Food prices on the regular menu are very affordable. Great selection of wines too.

My friend & I returned to an old school favorite yesterday & it didn’t disappoint. We arrived quite hungry - after our warm greeting, we ordered a salad, 2 mains & a bottle of wine. The highlight of the meal (and my favorite from the 90’s) was the Verona pizza. We also had the carbonara & Caesar salad which were good as well. We were offered complimentary dessert & elected to share a piece of the tuxedo chocolate cake which was a very nice way to end our luxurious afternoon. All of this for ~$100?! Incredible value. We won’t be waiting another decade or so to pass before our return.

Rude service and mediocre food. It’s cheap for a reason

Disappointing...there was water in the bottom of the pasta, Caesar salad was very ordinary with a very commercial dressing.

It was really good food, especially the crème brûlée :) The service was excellent and made sure we were satisfied.. Really liked how we were able to stay late and not feel like we were being rushed since it closes at 11
