La Dolce Vita

I have been living in Ottawa for about four years, and I will say that this is my favourite restaurant. What an incredible experience! Our server was so friendly and professional. I didn’t catch his name, but he was a young guy who seemed fairly new but he was very professional and attentive. Throughout the whole night he made sure we were happy and enjoying our experience. Our food was also amazing, from the appetizers to the desert. We were so happy with everything, and then the chef came out to make sure we enjoyed his food. What a nice detail! Thank you to the staff for such a lovely Wednesday night out.

Not the most artistic photo, but I definitely recommend the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer to share! Overall, a really great experience, the customer service was great and the chef personally came out to check on each table at the end of the night. I got the regular pizza and it was amazing, the crust was fluffy and the sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. I can't wait to bring my partner because it had such a cozy and romantic atmosphere (and of course great food). Highly recommend!

I was really looking forward to trying this place because many of my friends recommended it and also they have a dedicated gluten free menu with many options which is rare to find. Despite this I was disappointed. We got two gluten free pizzas one vegetarian and the other was chicken with pesto. The crust was very hard, the chicken tasted old and over all both pizzas just felt like they were missing something. Despite the tastes of the pizzas, the customer service was good and the restaurant is located in a nice area in little Italy. I may give this place another shot considering some of the great reviews and their gluten free menu.

Excellent place!!!!! I am allergic to gluten and dairy and they have a menu only gluten-free. It taste incredible. I never had a good experience in a restaurant that understands my condition. The staff was mega friendly and polite. Also, my family and I usually eat big big portions, they exceed my expectations, the chicken parmesan was perfect for my hungry celiac stomach, it comes with salad and gluten-free garlic bread. The desserts are gluten-free. I really recommend the restaurant, every one should try it. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!!!👏👏👏

Gorgeous patio and a very intimate and cozy indoor dining setting. The dishes are all incredible, and for the quality of food you're getting it's a very fair price! I didn't picture it here but for 25$ I got one of the most amazing lasagnas I ever eaten, along with a ceaser salad and garlic bread. The crême brûlée is also literally to die for. Highly recommend!

Ate here last night with my brother and sister in-law. Arrived early and was greeted as soon as I entered the door. I was sat at a table and soon after was asked if I would like anything to drink by the server of our table for the night - Andrew. I was undecided on a drink and asked what the rotation on draught was tonight. Andrew offered me a free sample of the draught beer - which was a generous serving as well! The food was delicious tonight. I had the Gnocchi Arrabbiata and it was very tasty, spicy and soft. The cheesecake at the end of the meal melted in my mouth. It was very delicious. Andrew's service was excellent! Always checked on us and made sure all the tables were doing well. Would definitely recommend this location as well as the excellent service overall. The chef also came out to the dining room to establish a personal connection which is great to see from the food industry as well. Very enjoyable night out here.

Nice cozy restaurant. The server was sweet and friendly, but the time it took to be served food was a bit long. The garlic bread was delicious - soft, well seasoned. However, I didn’t enjoy La Dolce Vita pizza so much.. It was nice, but a bit dry. The crust was in fact very hard. It somehow tasted a bit ‘old’. The pizza was of ordinary, not outstanding.
