10. Allegro Ristorante

Allegro has been a staple in Ottawa's Little Italy for over 20 years, serving both traditional Italian dishes and new age inspired ones. Their homemade Gnocchi is sure to make your mouth water when tossed in a rosé sauce. If you're in the mood for seafood, try their scallop martini. It features fresh scallops marinated in vodka lime juice, grilled to perfection, and served over a bed of red peppers in a martini glass. Whatever you're in the mood for, their Chef can create it.
