Really enjoy this place in the summer! The charcuterie platter is delicious, and if you request it then the chef can give you the half portion for half the price, since the full platter is quite big.

Best pizza I have ever tasted in Ottawa has to be The Grand's Funghi Napoletana Pizza , it was amazing. My friends also tried 'The Grand' & Marghretia (both tasty, but not as good as Funghi )

I strongely suggest their market vegetable pasta and capri pizza . They also have good vine :)

Pasta (must have) was mind blowing and so was the ???? . Without a doubt 2 Thumbs up. Great service too.

Calum Smith

Good service , and all the pizza is really good. Pasta is surprisingly up to scratch as well .

The pizza is the obvious choice here. The Grand Pizza lives up to its name: blistered crust, cheese and prosciutto . The pasta (Primavera) and sides (Mushroom Assoluti and Calamari Alla) stumble. Read more

Mike McGregor

great service, great atmosphere, seemingly average pasta - but makes for an evening well spent all the same

Alejandra Soto

Try the Italian pizza , it's really good!

Chris Radl

Without doubt the worst meal i have had in a while. Very expensive for what you get. Both the sausage and ham on our pizzas were more fat than anything else. Pizza was a soggy mess.

Sanaz Azadi

I loved the atmosphere but all four pizzas we ordered were overcooked and didn't taste good.They had to refund us.

It has a beautiful terrace but it was drizzling. Waitresses were rude not even offering to wipe seats down. We ended up inside. Soup so over-salted & food was all around meh. Location was only +

Thamer

Not a bad place, though they might need to upgrade the menu.

Ashley Rosa

Pizza is delicious.

André Araújo

Napoletana Pizza Fritta - a must have!!!!

Alice

Try their homemade hot sauce . Best I've ever tasted!

Yvonne

Worst restaurant experience I have had in a long time. Over priced food with awful service. Waited 45 minutes for really bad calamari and penne soaked in what I'm sure was margarine, not butter.

Chimo Omich

Bruschetta are huge! And very good, also

Pizza was ok but too salty. Had the Carne and my wife had the Grand. Service was more on the slow side.

Alberto C. Downing

Good pizza , gr8 service, very friendly . Too bad WiFi wasn't working, and mgr wasn't interested in fixing the problem!

Alvin Tan

The server/mgr lookes hella like Jason Statham

Rob M

Service was good, until we asked for the bill. Took forever to pay!

David Clarke

Atrocious service...1 1/2 hours and only received an app...just told it would be another 40 mins for a pasta and a pizza .

Roch St-Georges
