Trattoria Caffe Italia

Yum..yumm!, Nice and friendly waitress and hostess. Food were delicious especially the special pizza. Love the trendy decor environment. But had to wait for more than 2 hours even after booking the place for party of 6. Good thing that it is next to a shopping centre.

Wow! Had lunch, zucchini starter was hot and crispy with a cool lemon garlic sour cream. Sausage and peppers were on point. Wife had the lasagna, again Wow pasta is homemade and seasoned perfectly. I consider myself a foodie, this was the best sausage and peppers I have had in Ottawa! Dessert was creme brûlée again perfectly done. Perfect 👌

The fare was not exceptional but good. The plates were overpriced for the quality received. The pizza was difficult to cut and the dough tasted like it had been cooked from frozen.

Staff via great but food is just okay

Won’t be coming here again. Upon recommendation I reserved online a “private room” per website’s offering, only to find out there’s no such thing when I arrived. No privacy at all, was sitting amongst everybody else almost rubbing shoulders. I much prefer pub Italia’s sitting arrangement in comparison. Then, the food arrived, and I ordered salmon spaghetti expecting a tiny piece of salmon on top, but when I got it there were only tiny traces of a fish in the dish, tiny little flakes you had to search for with a microscope. What a rip off. Also no private parking for customers. Washrooms were ok.The food was tasty and service was good however, but not enough to get me back.

The service was great. It's a nice restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was ... well it was really shocking how 'meh' it was, given the reviews this place has."Cafeteria food" is how my daughter described it.What really put the nail in this coffin, is that the prices you're getting charged suggest the food is going to be at least good. If you like heat lamp food, or from-a-can food, or cafeteria food, and you want to pay a premium for same, then maybe, but otherwise this is not where you want to go to have a nice Italian dinner.Somebody get Gordon Ramsey in here, stat, because damn!

Incredible menu and atmosphere

Great service, team players. Lots of menu choices, knowledgeable staff and a vast wine list. A lovely dining experience, never rushed and always gracious. Try the creme brulee

The antipasto was great, the lasagna was homemade and very delicious. The portions were big; I actually had enough for lunch today. The veal parmeggiana was excellent and the wine selection is lengthy and great. Price vs value is fair, I recommend it and will definitely return.

The place was empty the whole time I was there so made me be sceptical about it but it was rather good, not the greatest one but nice. Hot warm bread and decent pasta but small quantity. Didnt like the pizza tho.

Truly authentic Italian. Love it.

Italian food in an American setting. Excellent service.

Great food and service, reasonable prices (on the high side though). Worth visiting from time to time.

Rachel was a wonderful breath of fresh air. Very satisfied with my experience here. Homemade food and friendly helpful servers. You cant go wrong dealing with the family that works here.

Great service, delicious food and a wonderful selection of music. I couldn't ask for more. A must place to eat and have a good time.
