The food at OTTO is delicious and unashamedly simple – modern Italian with roots firmly placed in the classics. Head Chef Richard Ptacnik’s menu is fresh, seasonal and produce-driven; sourcing the finest ingredients and letting them speak for themselves. OTTO’s fun and generous fare captures everything people love about the Italians’ approach to food – from perfectly al dente lobster spaghetti, to local snapper on the wood grill served simply with lemon and olive oil. When you eat at OTTO, you are truly living la dolce vita.

Truly some of the finest food and wine I have ever tasted. Was a complete surprise! It’s on a wharf. We sat outside on a perfect starlit night. The noise level IS excessive- but, that is my only complaint. Perfect for a slightly fancy date. The desert was swoon worthy. A peachy/mango lighter than air confection. Duck appetizer was my main course. It was perfection with cherries and fig to boot. I had a chicken liver pate with cherry touches. Amazing. All of the pasta dishes are perfection. Lovely wait staff. Be sure to include a dessert wine

Excellent food and service. Reasonably priced for a top end restaurant. The service was really excellent. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. A lovely location on the water. We would definitely eat here again.
