   We hadn’t even finished our main course when we were unexpectedly offered take-away boxes. It felt quite unusual, as this is typically something offered at the end of the meal, around the time the bill is presented. Then, while we were still enjoying our dessert, the bill was brought to the table again, without us requesting it. Throughout the evening, it felt as though the staff were eager to rush us out, which left us feeling very unwelcome. We've never experienced anything like this before, and unfortunately, this kind of service does not encourage a return visit. When I asked why we were being rushed and why the bill was brought without our request, the server seemed confused and couldn’t provide a clear answer. In the end, another staff member brought the payment terminal, and our original server never returned to follow up. Not welcoming experience.

   Lovely and attentive staff, delicious pizza, and cosy vibe. The marinara sauce for the spaghetti was OK nothing to write home about, but the carbonara was exceptional. The one downside would be the pricing for the pastas which seem higher than in other places in Ottawa. There’s greater value in having pasta in other restaurants than this one. That said the pizzas are still very, very good and the patio is a nice area to enjoy a meal with some great wine and cocktails at the restaurant offers.

   Great service, excellent food. Small place but the patio is a nice addition in good weather. Not a great selection of wines - that could be improved upon. Otherwise, a great choice for a meal. Prices are average for Ottawa, not overly expensive.

   Great service, extremely kid-friendly and got in and out with our kids on a Friday night within 1.25 hrs, just before they got super antsy.

   They did not have a table reserved for me even though I had a confirmation. I was lucky enough to get the last available table for my group but if I had been only a moment later there wouldn't have been space for us. Food was great. Service was ok. Nice patio.
