“Came a second time for dinner and loved the carbonara! The best one I've had in Ottawa and honestly, probably the best I've had yet! So glad this is only five minutes from home because I'll be coming by more often for this meal!! Our waiter was amazing and so positive/happy that it made the experience that much better!” Reema D.
“Great menu and great service. Best Italian food we had our whole trip. Since it was not downtown there was plenty of parking. Highly recommend.” Florencia E.
“Always busy. We eat at the bar tables and have never been disappointed. Buy $100 fo $80 cards at Costco. Great deal and great food.” Rick B.

“My most fave italian in Ottawa. Have been a
fan since the early 80s. Great memories of amazing food- especially the zucchini spears and ravioli.” Mia H.
“all around amazing! great food, exceptional service and friendly atmosphere :)  very accommodating to my dietary requests, tons of vegetarian options. make sure to try the gnocchi (and save room for the tiramisu) definitely coming back my next trip to ottawa :)” Hannah S.
“I ordered the La Roma Trio, my god was it hearty and very tasty!! If you can't decide on what to order, this is a perfect one to try because it comes with 3 different dishes. You will get the lasagna, the cannelloni and veal parmesan. My bf ordered the tagliatelle with portobello mushroom and cream sauce. That was super delicious too. This place is definitely worth the price.” Ni T.
