Review Ottavio Gatineau - Gatineau

This place was great!! Our server, pretty sure his name was Vince, was awesome!! This was a unique dinning experience as we were not aware of the BYOB options in Quebec; our server told us all about it & we ran to the convenient store across the road to get beverages to enjoy with the amazing pizzas. Pizza's were a good size, we split 2 of them between 3 people & were plenty full. Really glad we found this place & gave it a try!!

Great restaurant. Perfect for Saturday nights or Friday nights. Gets really busy on those nights around 7 pm so I suggest you call them and reserve a table. It’s also bring your wine. So you can bring a bottle or two of wine and they will serve it for you. Their pasta is the best thing they serve in my opinion, the smoked duck pasta, duck confit, mostly all their pasta sauces. The portion is great too so you might have some left overs to take back home. They offer fresh black pepper and parmigiana cheese on top at no charge, unlike some other restaurants that’s as you to pay extra for that. They usually have Soap of the day or a speciality on weekends. Things that I tried and I didn’t like was the chicken parmigiana plate and the lasagne plate was ok wasn’t so impressed by it. Their salmon tartare is great! I prefer the one with the yogurt option and not the sesame oil one. It comes with bread, arugula and figs. Appetizers are great. The am ambience of the place is great, well decorated, staff is very friendly. Expect to spend around 35-40$ there for your meal.

Visiting from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, so randomly picked this restaurant. The restaurant exceeded my expectations on all levels. The appetizer; Brie with dates and walnuts was exquisite and the savory pizza was fabulous! Topped it off with espresso and a delicious tiramisu. Great service and friendly servers especially the host, well done!

Excellent! Love the food we had, yummy breakfast! 😋 good service, just don't be confuse in the morning they're called L'eggspress and in the evening Ottavio 😉 different names but the same address..anyways you will like their food for sure whether you go for breakfast or Supper!

Large restaurant that holds a lot of people, good food, nice presentation of meals on dishes, clean, friendly staff but poor service. We waited almost two hours before getting our food. During this time no one refilled water or drinks or checked on us until someone complained. The meals were also on the pricey side but we knew this before hand.

This was my first time eating at Ottavio, and I came because I wanted to try their vegan menu! I had the arancini (fried risotto balls stuffed with mushrooms, green peas, and vegan mozzarella) and veggie pizza (zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, vegan mozzarella, and pesto sauce). As a vegan, I never thought I'd be eating arancini again, but these vegan arancini blew my mind. Also, TBH their vegan cheese is better than Pizza Pizza's. The pizza is very big and the crust was a bit too hard. Otherwise, it was delicious. Ottavio's vegan menu mostly consists of pastas and pizzas, and they even offer Beyond Meat. I'd love it if Ottavio could add some vegan desserts, too. Service was friendly and bilingual. The food is a bit pricey (16$ for 4 arancini, 18$ for vegan veggie pizza).

Really nice place, food is really good, portion are also good. Service could be a little bit faster for the main course. But overall I recommend this place. Price wise it's ok. Baluchon d’escargots, Fusilli with Italian Sausage and the Ottavio Beignets were really good.

Basic breakfast done very well.

Breakfast was amazing. First time there and wilk definately go back.

We had the best service provided by vincent. Very good food, especially the calamari exceeded our expectation.

Enjoyed my dine in experience. Food was good, but not over-the-top good. We were a large group, so service was difficult. Getting water from the wait staff was challenging. Portions were unreasonably large. Ended up having to bring half our meals home. Next time, I'd only order one meal and split it with my wife. Would cost less, and would create less waste.
