I just had lunch at Bistro Vitalia with my partner. My bacon-wrapped burger was seriously the best burger I've ever eaten in my life! It was so juicy and a perfect amount of zing. Hubby loved his pasta, said it was cooked perfectly al dente. The service was impeccable. The weather was beautiful for a patio lunch. I can't recommend it enough.
Mon mari et moi avons passé une belle soirée, dans un ambiance a la fois bistro/jazz. Sans parler aussi du décor chaleureux marqué de toiles d’artistes locaux. Je ne veux surtout pas oublier le plus important...le menu!! J’ai mangé comme entrée escargots et champignons dans une sauce crémeuse aux saveurs incroyable, mon mari lui une poutine au Nocchi wow quelle decouverte inattendue, c’étais d’un délice...!!! Comme repas principal j’ai choisi le Jaret d’agneau qui etait garni de généreux accompagnements mon assiette etait incroyablement delicieux. Mon mari lui les pâtes fait maison aux fruits de mers...excelllent le tout accompagné d’une bonne bouteille de Ripasso (importation privé) au prix très raisonnable vue la qualité de nos plats. Je me donne un autre rendez vous pour avoir le plaisir d’essayer d’autres plats.
Bistro Vitalia has an excellent menu, with delicious Italian meals in a cozy well decorated setting.
We went for a work Christmas dinner with a party of approximately 25 people and the waiting staff and kitchen belted out consistently delicious food, and service.
Tasty food, a good atmosphere, and friendly staff make for an all round great experience.
We were here on a Friday night, it was busy, and it reflected on a slow service. However, the staff was nice and the food was good. We ordered different type of appetizers, the hit were the deep fried risotto balls. The pasta plates had mixed reviews, but overall positive. The best plate we had was Agnello (braised lamb shank).
If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience in the Gatineau area, look no further than Old Aylmer and Bistro Vitalia.
The restaurant is housed in a quaint little building with limited seating but amazing decor. The menu is simple, which is often a sign that everything is homemade. In this case, it’s true - they make all their pastas and sauces.
I had the gnocchis and they were fantastic, they melted like butter in my mouth. Even though it’s on the expensive side, I will be going back soon!
I finally decided to try this restaurant out. I had never returned when it was the previous establishment. I very much enjoyed it! The service and food was great! I till definitely return. 👍☺️
Couldn't have been happier with my dinner here. Food was tasty and portions was very generous. Also, the stuff was super friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
I took my mum in law here for her birthday and the food was our of this world. We skipped the appetizers knowing that the pasta would be filling. I had the Pescatori while my mum had the bolognese. The food was perfect. When it came to desert I mentioned that it was my mum's 88th birthday and the waiter was quite receptive and even made her blush. I had the chocolate brownie which was delish and mum had the coffee cheesecake. It was a wonderful surprise when the waiter came out with a birthday candle glowing on mum's plate, she was thrilled. We finished off with cappuccino and latte. All in all a very special night. The wine was perfectly matched to our meal, the ambiance was comfortable and conducive to conversation and mum went down memory lane talking of her time living in Italy 50+ years ago.
Everything was excellent except for the calamari they were very rubbery. The drinks 🍸are very good 👍

Great service, best Italian food in Aylmer, great wine and cocktail selection.
I was not expecting the food to be that delicious. Honestly, hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to. Portions were excellent (pretty big), food so good, and Service top notch. We called 15 min before they closed the kitchen but stayed open for us. Definitely recommend!
Lovely dining experience - diverse menu and an attentive staff; great cocktails from the bar. Price (in the suburban bistro range) was not just reasonable, the meal and dining experience was competing with the higher end. Looking for chic AND family friendly with a diverse menu, give Vitalia a try.
