The shareable steak and ravioli Bianca is out of this world. I just can’t get past it. The only other dish I have ordered here is the Mediterranean bowl, which I couldn’t get past for quite a while either. You can’t go wrong on either of these dishes!

Excellent meal and service! Being vegan, our choices in Restaurants are limited, and usually predictable. The plant-based menu here is deliciously delightful, and our selections were completely satisfying, savouring it all to the last bite! Our server was completely knowledgeable, attentive and responsive! It has become a favourite choice for dining out!

We visited for my daughter’s 13th birthday. Food was great and the service was excellent. One of our children has food allergies and they were very accommodating. Noise level is higher than other restaurants we have visited, but to be expected in an open space and we weren’t bothered by it.

Truly, the best meatballs and a must while in Ottawa! Moist, tender angus beef nestled in a deep rich San Marzano tomato sauce accompanied by the most buttery toasted focaccia for sopping up all the goodness! The KFC cauliflower also exceeded our expectations! Not drowned in a typical jarred buffalo sauce but rather spiced to enhance and not to hide the flavours of this brassica. Our server made every guest feel like a VIP. He was very prompt, polite, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food, wine and cocktails. 10/10. Well done. We will be back!
