Our hotel staff highly recommended Trattoria cafe on a recent visit to Ottawa. We were warmly greeted when entering and promptly seated in a very nice dining room. Our server was very polite and attentive. Food and presentation was excellent. We didn't have any wine but the selection looked extensive and high quality. We will definitely return again. More...

You like good italian food and great wine selection? Look no further. The warm welcome from staff is only surpassed by the spicy italian sausage. Try the Rigatoni Giuliana if you love chicken and mushrooms in a beautiful rose sauce.... More...

I hate to start this review on a bad note, but the first part of our trip to Caffe Trattoria, parking, was one. Their parking lot it quite cramped and it was difficult to maneuver the car into a spot. Unfortunately, the man at the front of the house seemed a bit unwelcoming. The decor is sort of classic Italian, buy maybe a bit outdated. But the view from the restaurant is nice and the snowy landscape paired with the Christmas music they were playing really set the mood for my lunch. The waitstaff was quite friendly and attentive. I ordered the Linguine alla Trattoria and it was honestly one of the best pastas I've had at a restaurant, I'd recommend it to anyone who's unsure of what to get. The bread came at the same time as my food, which I'm not used to. The bread was a bit too dry, but at least it was warm from the oven. A slight nitpick: it came with butter, but I generally expect olive oil and balsamic vinegar from places like this. And I feel like their prices are just a tiny bit high for what you get, but that pasta was so good that I would recommend checking out this restaurant. More...

We had a relatively large group here for lunch (15 people), and I was very impressed with the service; it was prompt and efficient, giving everyone time to decide what to get. The food all came out at the same time for everyone with the help of 2 or 3 servers; the orders were correct and the food was tasty and they catered to special food needs; and at the end the right bills were received by the right people.The downer for me was the alcoholic beverages: one colleague and I shared a 1/2 litre of sangria and shared the bill; my half of that was $18.00. Yikes! Another colleague ordered a white wine spritzer and the first glass they brought out seemed a bit off. At least it was exchanged without too much bother.Overall, the experience was good. I would probably go back for the food. I like that they offered 2 dishes that you could order that they would donate money to hungry youth in Ottawa. More...

Went here with my boyfriend & his family, because they came here 10 years ago and absolutely loved the service and food. Gotta say when I came, 10 years later lol, it actually was amazing and they weren't joking. If you're a picky eater like me - order the JUMBO SHRIMP al PESTO. It's simple, with the shrimp, and the basil cream sauce. Nothing too complicated. Simple yet delicious. The amount you receive are pretty good, and for $28 its very worth it. The atmosphere is quite nice too, the servers are very nice, and do talk to you which helps make you feel "more at home." It's also pretty upscale and classy, so you feel quite...luxurious. More...
