Great gluten free menu, lots of choice.

We had a fantastic dinner experience at ZOLAS last night with our family of four, including one gluten-free diner. The menu offered plenty of options, and our server was super attentive and provided great recommendations. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot and delicious! We took advantage of the $75 Wednesday night deal, where you get an appetizer to share, individual mains, and a dessert to share for every two people. What a great value! The food was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend ZOLAS to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

Food was delicious! I’m gluten and dairy free and they were super accommodating! Gluten free pasta with no dairy it was great! Even had an amazing Cesar salad without parm or croutons. Did not expect this for a sit and order spot. Atmosphere makes you feel like you’re actually sitting in a restaurant but it’s so affordable (Pasta $13 + $6 protein pre-tax). Staff are so kind and friendly, food was prepared quickly and without errors. Music is a great vibe and it’s very clean. Definitely coming back!!

Had a really lovely meal here sharing GF pasta and GF pizza. Amazing pizza base! Servers very aware and aware of CC.

The most incredible food and drinks. The GF ravioli is seriously delicious and the gluten free cauliflower “Enzo” pizza is to die for. Fantastic GF options. Our server, Nick, was beyond amazing - kind, professional, and fun. We can’t wait to go back.

Love this place. Gluten free pizza Sofia was outstanding

Very good Italian cuisine. The service is exceptionally fast and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. I only wanted a few minutes between the salad and the main course, which was a bit too quick for me personally. It was very clean and the ambiance was nice.

We had a terrible experience at Del Piacete over the italian week weekend. Our waitress was unprofessional, yawning while taking our order and never checking on us. Despite arriving before other customers, we waited 50 minutes for our food while watching others get served first. Both of our pizzas had a couple mussels that smelled and tasted absolutely rotten. Beyond this serious food safety issue, my gluten-free pizza was also completely undercooked. When I complained, the waitress said reheating it might burn it so she gave me the option of either burned or undercooked. The chef explained they use new rice-based GF dough that “doesn’t cook well” - even after returning it to the oven, it remained inedible. To their credit, they removed the undercooked pizza from our bill when I asked not to pay for it. However, the restaurant feels dated with sticky tables, and the high prices don’t match the poor service and atmosphere. This was my second visit and will definitely be my last.

Family-run place. People here are so kind! I was able to eat a gluten free pizza being celiac and they are very careful with cross contamination. Loved our lunchtime here and will definitely come back. Thanks :)

My wife and I went here about 2 weeks ago for a 5:30 reservation to celebrate my wife's retirement. I'll begin by noting that while the food was expensive it was very good and very interesting. We can only say good things about the food. However, we wouldn't have regretted paying what we did if we didn't feel rushed throughout our time there. Our server was nice and quite helpful but seemed like she needed to get right to it - even though we one of the first clients of the evening. As other reviews have noted the place is not bright and with the menu in Italian there was a need for us to understand what our options were - particularly since my wife is celiac and can't eat gluten. They were able to accommodate and while the explanations of the options were detailed and somewhat helpful, the rush with which they were given still left us somewhat confused. While there was adequate time to savour the food between servings, we kept getting the feeling that we shouldn't be lingering. It just seemed like we were only allowed to have our seats in our chairs for a pre-determined amount of time. And that's what was the huge disappointment. When you go to a distinguished restaurant with high prices, you're not paying just for the unique food, you're also paying for the atmosphere and the ability to sit back and enjoy the whole experience. We didn't get that from North and Navy. I know they're a business, but they should seriously consider allowing/budgeting for their guests - and yes we are guests - to spend more time enjoying the experience North and Navy is offering. So, unfortunately we won't be back. There are too many other good restaurants in Ottawa that are willing to provide their customers with good food AND a relaxed experience.

While in Ottawa for the day, I met and had a beautiful dinner in the early evening with my niece on November 5th, at Cyranos, my 3rd time there; Paula was our very thoughtful and thorough server. (I have lactose and gluten intolerances.) As a starter, the “creamed” tomato soup, sans lactose, wow! Main for me was the grilled marinated lamb chops, rare and fabulous! I look forward to my next visit! Thank you Cyranos staff!

What a great experience! I called at 4pm and got a reservation for 730. Showed up and our table was ready for us even while they were very busy. Had a variety of gluten free options. The service was friendly and way above average! We can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

Chris Whiting

Loved the atmosphere food selection worked for all 8 of us. They were able to accommodate us with a gluten free meal and dairy free meals.

What a beautiful place for dinner on a sunny warm afternoon/evening ! The service was exceptional. As I browsed the menu I saw there were gluten free options. The waitress assured me that my choices were safe and she was very knowledgeable, which was greatly appreciated.

Martina Trinkaus

Accommodated us on the patio no problem, actually had gluten free pizza which was the best gluten free from here to Toronto with excellent service. A great family meal - gem of a spot!

Naomi C

It was our first time at Juluca's and we were so happy with the food! We went specifically because there was a review that the gluten free pizza was the best they had ever had- and I agree! I got the gluten free Hawaiian and it was amazing. New spot for pizza for sure! My partner got a regular pizza and loved it!

Great Service. They were great about Gluten-Dairy free issues.

Exceptional Service and Care – Perfect for Special Orders and Dietary Needs We ordered from Fadi and his wife’s pizza restaurant for a three-day training event, and I can't recommend them enough! The service was amazing from start to finish. Fadi and his wife went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for our group. The portions were incredibly generous, and the food was always fresh, flavorful, and delivered on time. One of our colleagues has a gluten allergy, and Fadi and his wife were extremely thoughtful and diligent in making sure her gluten-free pizza was not cross-contaminated. They took extra care and went the extra mile to ensure her safety, which we truly appreciated. It’s not every day that you come across such attentive and caring service, especially when dealing with food sensitivities. Fadi and his wife were friendly, helpful, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. They really took great care of us, and I can’t wait to order from them again!

As a passionate foodie, I can confidently say that this establishment stands unparalleled in all of Ontario and Quebec for its exceptional accommodation and attention to detail. Being allergic to meat and gluten intolerant often makes dining out a daunting task, but the meticulous attention and care provided here transformed my experience into a delightful indulgence. Everything was delicious. From the appetizer to dessert. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. The valet and doorman extended a warm and gracious welcome, setting the tone for the evening. The host greeted us with genuine hospitality, and our servers were not only courteous but also remarkably attentive to our needs. Their professionalism and dedication elevated our dining experience to one of sheer luxury. The ambiance exuded sophistication, and every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and elegance. It’s rare to find a place where inclusivity meets opulence so seamlessly. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit, this time with my entire family, to share in this extraordinary culinary haven. Thank you very much!

**Restaurant Review: A Delightful Dining Experience** My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Napoli’s Cafe, and I must say, it was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who made us feel welcome despite running a bit late for our reservation. The ambiance was inviting and comfortable, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing meal. Now, let’s talk about the food. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, each crafted with care and creativity. I opted for chicken Marsala and had modified the menu to add veal cannelloni rather than spaghetti and they both exceeded my expectation my husband had the spaghetti bolognese (gluten free) and he said you couldn’t tell it was gf. The flavors were vibrant and well-balanced, showcasing the chef's expertise. The service throughout the meal was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure our glasses were filled. It’s clear that the staff is well-trained and genuinely passionate about providing a great dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Napoli’s to anyone looking for a memorable meal in a lovely setting. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! Wonderful date night
