Amazing gluten free menu and service. These folks know what they are doing! GF food served on different coloured plates. So many pasta choices, pizzas and desserts. GF calamari, bruschetta and so much more. So happy Atly helped me find it ❤️
Two friends and I had a lovely Moms Day off brunch here. First time visiting, I’d googled places my friend, who’s celiac, would be able to find good options. We opened the door and were greeted with a smile from the host and the wonderful smells of fresh baked goodies. There wasn’t a wait, but I wouldn’t have minded as I’d have had more time to look through to-go items for sale in the front. Our sever was friendly and prompt. Helped me decide between two things I was interested in, thoroughly assured my friend on what was gluten-free, substitutes to make things so, and our coffees were never empty. I will absolutely be coming back with my family soon.
Pesto pasta was delicious (very flavourful). Gluten free penne was slightly overcooked and falling apart. I upgraded my dish to include chicken (an extra $6). I was expecting to see either strips of grilled chicken or a whole chicken breast on the plate. There were only a few chicken breast chunks. I was a little disappointed with the amount of chicken for $6.
We had a Christmas get-together with our bowling group on December 19, 2024. The staff are amazing 👏, they went above and beyond service!
The chef expressly made my own plate of gluten-free nachos 😋 THANK YOU!

First experience was amazing, had the gluten free pizza crust and by far one of the best I've had. Returned a second time specifically for the good pizza to find out they had run out of the gluten free dough. Very upset, you shouldn't put something on the menu if you don't keep it in stock. This would have never happened with a regular dough. Extremely disappointed and will not return.
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.
Brought our friend here for a birthday dinner. Pleasantly surprised with how many gluten free dishes they had available for an Italian restaurant. Everyone really enjoyed their food, it was delicious. Service was great for how busy they were on a Tuesday night. Waitress was attentive and quick. Will probably be back again.

The pizza is incredible, the owner is an absolute gentleman and TRUE Italian in every sense of the word. The pizza margarita is sublime, simple, delicious and full of authentic flavours, feels and renoncent reminders of visiting Italy and it’s true approach to pizza prepared.
As a gluten sensitive individual - giving up pizza for the last few years has been devastating. The gluten free margarita here? Is truly chefs kiss!
The front of house team (servers) are warm, patient and approachable.
This building (previously occupied by the late wonderful Bob and the beloved team at stoneface) has clearly inherited another gem - in Del Piacere.
Love this place! A must try and repeat - repeatedly ❤️
Had an amazing 23rd anniversary at Joes made even more special by Taija who took amazing care of us. Awesome gluten free options, awesome service and great atmosphere. We will be back for sure. Thanks Taija!
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 :)
Service was good food was okay however unfortunately I ordered food on a gluten free bun and received a plain bun instead only bad part of the experience however everything else was top notch!
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.
Amazing service from Laura and her team. She was extremely attentive to our gluten sensitivities and went above and beyond with her customer service.
Thank you Laura!
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.
We absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, with some great gluten free options (and the chef even makes special accomodations for dairy free in some cases!) Great wines, lovely intimate atmosphere. Great for special occasions or just enjoyable evenings with friends. I only wish there was a dairy free gluten free dessert option... but this doesn't change my rating.
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!
Lovely meal. Good gluten free options, both pasta and pizza. Staff knowledgeable about gluten risks. Pleasant atmosphere but it was very busy so a bit loud for us.
Back to this restaurant after a 15+ year gap (while we were living elsewhere) and everything is still great. Table wait staff were very well trained and the maitre d's were attentive, personable and were easy to converse with. Both dishes that we chose and the appetizer were large, generous portions that we took home. They have a whole page in the menu dedicated to gluten free options (not just footnotes).
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!
My husband and I have eaten here several times and their food never disappoints! He is gluten free and we love that Pocopazzo offers such quality pastas that he can enjoy.
But I want to leave this review because of how wonderful they were with handling the food for our wedding. Since this is one of our favourite restaurants, we decided to get takeout for our 20-guest wedding from them and the chef was so helpful in getting it organized and communicating with me. The staff had no problem handling a big takeout order like that, and they made the order and pickup process so smooth. The food was delicious (as always) and everyone loved it!
We sat outside and it was not the most beautiful BUT there were actual linens on the table and that was very nice. The food was average I would say. The owner is a very good man and has been a restauranteur for decades in Ottawa. We enjoyed visiting with him and for his hospitality. The bruschetta has too many red onions in it, do not recommend. They do not bring bread unless you ask. The veal piccata was delicious, but the veggies and potatoes were not very hot or fresh. The pizza was good, but do not order gluten free pizza it is a terribly hard crust (which the owner deducted from our bill). The veal marsala was not particularly amazing. Overall if it weren't for the kindness of the owner I am not sure I would choose this again. There is a private room option for a group of maybe 20 people which is good to know.
Went to this location for lunch with some colleagues on a rainy Friday.
The service wasn’t their strongest point. Long wait between touch points, we never got to order a second round of drinks.
The food was tasty though and came in a timely manner. They had no issues accommodating my allergies (gluten and dairy free) and allowed me to modify my plate, the Mediterranean chicken, as needed. The rest of my colleagues also really enjoyed their meal.
Cute little place in Manotick with great service which was kind of surprising for how busy they were as they initially seemed understaffed for amount of patrons seated. Waiter was attentive, funny and friendly. Went due to there gluten free options which were good. Nice experience. Thank you.
came here for dinner with a friend. i got gluten free pasta, and the bellini. both were so good, but the best part was the service! our server juliana was kind, attentive and quick. she made our night :)
Best pizza in town, hands down. The Isabella Pizza is a classic - it's got all the toppings you could ever want.
The gluten free crust (add $4, med only) is great and has been a safe & delicious bet for accommodating a serious wheat allergy.
Had a wonderful experience today at Milano's. Met one of the owners named Chadi. He was very friendly and professional. Had no idea until today that Milano's had gluten AND dairy free options. It's very rare that I get to have pizza with my dietary restrictions so today was a special treat. Would definitely return.
I truly enjoyed the food at cafe mio. I ordered a gluten free vegetarian pasta and the plate was filled with high quality fresh veggies which was very impressive. I really enjoyed their approach at pasta as they do not add any heavy sauces or spices , they just stick to the basics and make it as healthy as possible. Also our waiter was delightful. She helped us out with the menu and was able to understand/accommodate my allergy. We were so full we did not get a chance to try the coffee but I will return at some point to do that!
Pleasant place for cool cats. Nice style interior, good service, and good food. All we need. The gluten free options are certainly a plus. Interesting wine list.
Plenty of free parking out front. Clean washrooms. Wheelchair accessible.
Typical dine in , with lots of options, pastas, pizzas, burgers , salads . Had Tilapia couple of times which is a great dish. Also they took a very good care, of my relative who is gluten allergic. Kids options are also great.
This place was sooo good! They have an awesome Gluten Free option and I asked alot of questions. Our server was great if she didn't know she confirmed with the kitchen before I ordered my meal!
Went in with 6 people. Food was delicious. We were not rushed at all. Price was excellent for quality of food. Also have gluten free options. Definitely going back
Plenty of street parking in the neighbourhood
Celiac friendly
