Excellent food, delicious bruschetta, the starter of delicious and very generous fried squid, incredible lasagna.
Very (too?) attentive and friendly waiter.
Beautiful clean and well-kept place, a little slick for our taste for supper before a concert.
Spacious Very convenient rear parking.
Good value for money for both of us: a starter of squid, two courses of dough, a glass of wine and a large bottle of sparkling water 130$.

Cabotto’s has become our favourite Italien restaurant in Ottawa. To celebrate my daughters eighteenth birthday we booked her birthday dinner here. Aside from the ambiance of the restaurant setting itself, we have always had great service coupled with exceptional tasting food. This celebratory dinner was no different on all counts. Our waiter was top notch as were the meals. Not one person in our party had a negative comment about their meal or service. As always the portions were very generous, fresh and super tasty. A few members in our party requested doggie bags as they couldn’t finish their meals but be because it was so good they wanted to take the leftovers home. All in all we had a wonderful celebratory dinner and we will most definitely be back.

Our group of four enjoyed dinner at Cabotto’s last evening. Our two appetizer dishes, four entrees and desserts were each uniquely delicious. Our charming, efficient server made us feel special and the atmosphere of being in a beautifully maintained elegant home’s dining room was delightful. We will go back soon and tell our friends about this wonderful Italian restaurant. Thank you, Cabotto’s!

Have lived in Kanata for 20 years and finally tried Cabotto's Restaurant.
Pros: Beautiful building, quickly seated, excellent server, online reservation booking convenient
Con: Long wait for food, our reservation was 7:30 with drinks served immediately but main food came at 8:45 with no updates on the delay. Noted that a table seated at 8pm received food at same time our table. Dish size was good but food was just OK. Tables are crowded, table of 4 - not enough room for all tableware.

This place had amazing food and once again we were not disappointed.
However, we ordered the appetizers shortly after being seated and said we would needed more time to decide on our main dish. The waiter immediately responded “ there is a two hour dinning limit.”
This set the tone for the rest of the service we received.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Cabotto’s with about 30 of our closest family and friends! Rave reviews all around - we cannot recommend them enough! Amazing food, great service and they were a breeze to work with throughout all of our planning! Thanks so much to the Cabotto’s team for making our day so special! If you live in the Ottawa area or are visiting and are a fan of authentic Italian good you NEED to check them out - you’re going to love it!!

Great dinner! Went fir anniversary and couldn’t ask fir a more romantic, intimate dinner setting. Is quite dark in their, so bring reading glasses and use ur phones backlight if need. Service was wonderful and very professional. Highly recommend the fillet Mingon. Came with a roasted potatoes and carrots, green beans and red peppers. Meat had a sherry wine reduction sauce. The medium was cooked perfect and melted in my mouth. Had the caramel cheesecake and it was delicious.

Quaint ambiance and very good food. We had butternut squash soup, calamari, gnocchi Gorgonzola, filet mignon, caramel cheesecake and limoncello tartufo. All very good. Pleasant and attentive service.

Went there with 3 friends before a concert at the ctc. Food and service was superb. I loved that the portions weren't overwhelmingly huge . They weren't teensy weensy but left you feeling like you might have room to share a dessert. I live in downtown Ottawa but will definitely make a point of going back there. Beautiful building and decor as well.

It had been a while since we last ate at Cabotto's so when we had a family dinner there last week I was very impressed with the quality of the food and the level of service. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meal and it was great value for the money!

Each of us chose a different entree: Pollo Amaretto, Poached Salmon, Veal Parmigiana, and Pork Tenderloin with Brandy Reduction. They were all excellent, as were the appetizers of fried crispy zucchini and the desserts we shared: tiramisu and chocolate mousse. An excellent choice for dinner.

During these difficult times, we needed a break and wanted to support our favorite local restaurant. All precautions were in place and even with a reduced menu for take out, there is lots of choice. Excellent veal marsala, veal parmigiana and a shared Caesar salad with a bottle of wine made for a lovely evening at home.
Thank you Vince, Perry and Carmen

We've eaten here many times. The service, ambiance, and food are always first class. Great place to visit for a special occasion. Recently visited with another couple. My wife and I both had an appetizer, entree, two adult beverages, and coffee. The total was $170 with tax, before tip. Always a great experience at Cabotto's.

We wanted to have just a couple glasses of wine away from home so we went there around 8.30. They were rude and didn’t accept us sitting because the restaurant closes at 10. There were plenty of people who had just started their meals and plenty of tables free. We told them we don’t need anything from the kitchen just 2 glasses of wine and that’t it. Still they didn’t want to take any more tables. This is a very effective way to lose a customer. It was our first and last visit.

Beautiful heritage building.
Prices comparable to other Italian restaurants.
Food very good, good selection.pescatore~good amount of seafood in dish.
Pollo Piemonte-chicken tender, veggies and potatoes nice done.
Wine and beer very reasonably priced.
No surprise to tip, you make the choice not the restaurant.
Server:rushed, not overly friendly, a bit forgetful, it was as if he would rather be somewhere else.
Oh ya, they serve warm rolls before your meal.
