Cabotto never disappoints! As an Italian myself I appreciate the home made pastas, meats and appies! The food is always fresh, and delicious and always true to Italian recipes and flavours. The service is also A1! Our server last night was attentive, friendly, and very courteous! It really is an amazing place to gather with friends and family:)

Extremely disappointed. We were a party of 5 and were celebrating two birthdays and the purchase of a new home. So big celebration. The food was very good and our server was prompt. From the moment we walked in we were skeptical as the place was so crowded and incredibly noisy with two large parties in the room we were in. Given the time of year being in December somewhat to be expected on a Saturday evening. (Being seated with other small parties would have been more appreciated) We were shown our table and left to try to figure out what to do with our coats, when someone did come by they simply pointed to where to hang them at the very back of the restaurant and had to walk through incredibly tight quarters to get to where there were a few hooks left. We could barely hear each other talk and my elderly mother was painfully trying to deal with the volume of noise the entire meal. When brought to the server's attention she said she was sorry and of course it was not her fault. My husband kindly asked to speak with the manager upon our departure to inform him of our experience. Rather than being sympathetic to our experience he became very defensive and irate. He said to let him know the next time we were in and he would do something for us. It has been several years since we have been there and will be many more for us to return if ever there are so many more options in the area.

Arranged a small celebration dinner and was provided with a private room. Very cozy and intimate! The service was perfect and the food divine! Perry was so responsive and helpful when making my reservation and finalizing the details. Thank you so much for making our celebration seamless from beginning to end.

Located in a beautifully restored heritage building, Cabotto's offers refined Italian dining in a classically decorated interior. Perfect for special occasions or family gatherings. Recommend reserving in advance. We had their pescatore pasta, gnocci pomodora and homemade cheesecake for dessert. Despite being busy, the service was fast and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Top five dining experience ever. We add zucchini fries as an app and they were mouthwatering. My main was Braciolle and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Just delicious. Others had track of lamb and the trio combo. Everyone was so pleased. Service was extraordinary as were desserts.

Great Italian restaurant. The food was fresh and tasty. The server was a little dry overall. It has a nice cozy feel to it, and I would definitely recommend this location. Fresh cut zucchini and calamari. One thing they should do is serve the beer with a frosty glass rather than a glass that just came out of the dishwasher 🤔, just make sure to let them know you don't want a warm glass with your cold beer. 😉

Food is top-notch that's why you're here! Delicious rich Italian dinner. The pasta and dinner here is amazing. Clearly have a professional dedicated kitchen behind the scenes. The service is good but sometimes hard to track down a server. The bread/dinner rolls arrive the same time as the apps. Would be better if they arrived when seated. Did not have time to explore the first floor. The second floor has ahomely feel here. Similar to that of the Keg Manor but feels I'm eating at a house that's not quite dressed up properly on the inside. The interior decoration and white walls should be updated. They are left empty and missing beauty to look at.

We had a private party here last night for our work Christmas party. Service was really fantastic. Would recommend Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options here exist! I am veg and I had the butter nut squash ravioli with Gorgonzola and it was super good, strong sharp cheese, super creamy with spicy pumpkin seeds. Vegan options are a little more difficult. They had a vegan pasta for my coworker but there were no vegan desserts on the menu she could have, we paid for a set a la carte menu which included 3 courses.

December 20, 2024

We had an amazing experience, we were escorted to our table and our server frequently checked up on us throughout our dinning experience. The food was phenomenal. I had the calamari which cooked to perfection and not chewy at all. Also I had the Agnolotti Rose which was very savoury & creamy. My boyfriend had the garlic cheese bread which he adored as well as the filet mignon which was cooked exactly how he wanted served which a generous helping of vegetables. We had a wonderful dinning experience and highly recommend. We will definitely be going back! Vegetarian options: They have lots of vegetarian options which is amazing. Parking: The parking was very spacious and we had no issues finding a spot.

Great resturant in a beautiful manor home. Dietary restrictions: They had both vegetarian and gluten-free substitute options. Parking: There is more parking than it looks when you first pull in. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes - but I would tell them when booking so they can save a table by the front, some tables may be a bit harder to navigate to by the back.

The service from the time we entered to the time we paid the bill and left was exceptional. Professional, friendly, it was like we were being served by an old friend. Our waiter was great!! The food is always top notch, our last visit was no exception. The lasagna fed my Mom for two full meals, the Il Trio pasta was devoured in one sitting as usual - so good, and the Pollo Piemonte I had was excellent as always. I had the leftovers the next day and it was just as good reheated. Dessert - chocolate tartufo, tiramisu and creme brule -- YUM! The one downside is that it can be loud when the restaurant is full. It is an old house, and the smaller dining rooms can get noisy when there are large groups. This does not discourage me from going... everything else far outweighs missing a few words here and there. Parking: Parking is mostly around the back of the restaurant. There are plenty of spots even when the restaurant is packed.

We recently celebrated my wifes retirement at Cabottos, and it was a very pleasant experience. Perry, who handled our reservation, was incredibly helpful and ensured everything was perfectly arranged for our special night. Our waiter, Tom, was professional, attentive, and friendly. He went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure every detail was taken care of. The food was excellent and the ambiance of the restaurant added to the special occasion, making it a night to remember. It was also really nice to have a room just for our party, as we were able to mingle and also when it came time to make speeches we were not competing sound wise with the other patrons in the restaurant. Thank you, Cabottos, and a special thanks to Perry and Tom for making my wifes retirement dinner such a memorable event. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great service and excellent food.

Disappointing. My chicken Marsala was very sweet and the Alfredo pasta was lukewarm. The veal canneloni did not have much taste, just a lot of parsley. Restaurant was very busy and service was OK but nothing special. Parking: There is a construction site attached to the parking where you can park your car but it is unlit and gravel.

Just OK. Somewhat of a disappointment as we heard it was an amazing dining experience. In our opinion Porto a Casa, Julucas, and Pinelopis are alll better for the same approximate cost. Best items we tried were the chocolate tartufo and mushroom bruchetta. Our salads and mains (veal marsala and seafood pasta) were just so - so.

We finally made it to Cabotto s for dinner and they didn t disappoint! The food and service was great! The only reason I gave a 4* rating was for our boys Carbonara order. I thought I saw carbonara on the online menu but it turned out I was wrong. The server kindly offered to have the kitchen make it even though it wasn t on the menu. We had two very happy kids until it arrived. Sadly what was sent wasn t carbonara it was just buttered noodles, parm and pancetta so the kids wouldn t eat it. No big deal, they shared ours and everyone left happy. I just wish they hadn t said they could make carbonara because I would ve just ordered spaghetti and meatballs. We still had a great dinner, the appetizers were delicious and me and my husband loved our meals and the recommended wine. Next time we ll leave the boys with a sitter :) so we can enjoy all Cabotto s has to offer.

The food was excellent. We had escargot, mista salad, a gf pasta with chicken, veal parmagian and creme brulee. Unfortunately the service was a lacking. Bread was requested and took a long time to come arriving with apologies. We waited 15 minutes, after we were finished our meals and received our takeaway containers, for our bill. We were seated on the second floor. There were 14 people in the room ( including us)and the noise level was unbelievable. Chandeliers and a big mirror was the total decor. Would not recommend the second floor, the lower level is lovely. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free (celiac) needs were met, no issues.

Our first time trying Cabottos will be our last. Although the food we finally got served was tasty, the service was atrocious. Our main meal took well over an hour, only 3 in our party, and a neighboring table who were seated long after us, received their meals much sooner. Our waitress never smiled once and her demeanor was very curt. Our orders were not made with the exclusions we requested. But it took so long we didnt dare send them back. This experience was such a disappointment for my daughters birthday celebration dinner. We definitely wont be going back.

Beautiful house and very charming decor, we were put in the back room, its a bit dark over there, the room near the entrance is much brighter and looked a lot more romantic. Service was good but the food was kinda disappointing, the bruschetta bread wasnt toasted at all, its cold and hard to chew. The braciole is a bit strange for our taste, too much cheese didnt compliment the dish, it made the dish messy and too overwhelming.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in the Ottawa region. I strongly recommend.

August 22, 2024

We dined for my dad s special Birthday dinner. 6 people total. The apps were sub par. The meals - 3 mediocre. 3 not edible. The server acknowledged that we didn t enjoy our dinner and asked what was wrong. The bill was not adjusted and nothing was rectified. This is not authentic Italian. I would say it s more like an East Sides. The pasta is not fresh/homemade. The dishes are over salted and over sauced. Much better restaurants to enjoy around the city. There wasn t even fresh parmigiana offered when served our pasta dish. I m disappointed to see that no one came to speak to the table re our experience. In this industry things happen. We re very understanding and would have appreciated recognition and some sort of solution to the experience. We ended up heading to Preston little Italy to grab another bite.

We were a party of five, we just love this place, the food is consistently excellent as is the service and she was busy. We would not hesitate to recommend Cabotto s, it s just simply the best Italian restaurant in the city!!

The servers were visibly not happy to see a family with a toddler enter the room. All three of the servers we encountered were just interested in taking the cutlery away from her at some point. One of them was visibly conflicted when we asked for a plate for the toddler. The female server banged hard into the toddlers chair while walking. didnt apologize or even say anything and just continued on her way. Never going back because of the servers. Food was decent. The decor too dull to appreciate the heritage building.

We went to celebrate my mom s 93rd bday. Too many people crowded into the room. It was so loud we couldn t hear each other. Long wait for food and then told that two of the plates were dropped in the kitchen and so had to be remade. Chicken amaretto was dried out. Cabottos special veal medallions wete overevooked. Pretty sure it was reheated while the two dropped dishes were being redone. Server was excellent - not his fault but nothing offered to make it right. Couldn t wait to leave!

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 doesnt change my rating.

We chose Cabottos to eat to celebrate a family birthday as a special occasion. We fully enjoyed our experience and the delicious food - they lived up to their reputation! We ordered appetizers, mains (both pasta-based and non-pasta based, I cant remember what thats called), and wine and everything was consistently high quality and delicious! The staff were lovely and struck a wonderful balance between personable and professional! The cost of the meal was higher than we would usually pay for a regular night out (thats maybe more of a personal budgeting comment), but it was well worth the money and we will definitely return for more! Thank you! :) Vegetarian options: I ordered one of their vegetarian pasta mains and it was amazing! Sometimes restaurants have vegetarian options and it feels like an afterthought, but here the options are well thought out and well worth it!

Here is a prime example of great quality food & service Example. Few weeks back popped into the Glen down the road with a buddy. Had wings and a salad one beer . All the food was sub par $57.00..for one person Came here to Cabottos june 6th Had lasagna for me ,wife had Glutine pasta. Salad each ,rolls 1/2 liter of wine and cheese Cake The quality of food was top notch ......second to none Service 1st class atmosphere excellent.. Total bill 118.00 for 2 Do the math and stop going to subpar restaurants when we have this quality right here in our nabourhood ... Just saying, not to mention they have a professional chief on staff not a part time student preparing the food who may or may not know kitchen adequate.

Lovely setting in an elegant farm house. Classic Italian from my childhood memories. Service was friendly but slow (Friday night, busy, did not seem to have an assigned host.). Food was well-prepared, perhaps a touch under-seasoned. A nice meal overall as we were in no rush.

Came there to celebrate Mother s Day. Got served with water and appetizers. Waited for main course for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Server was nowhere to find. Had to find another server to say that we are leaving and pay for appetizers and water. The manager tried to tell me that the restaurant was full when there were empty seats and the parking was at 75% occupancy. Not appreciated. Made my wife very upset. Now I know the place where not to go.

We were five for Mothers Day supper. The ambiance, the food, and the service by Travis were all spectacular. We had five different dishes plus a shared appetizer and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their tasty meals. Well be back! A big thanks to Travis who was attentive and personable - which plays a huge part in the dining experience, and to those behind the scene in the kitchen who prepared such high quality meals, one of whom I thanked personally outside at the back as we were leaving. Thank you as well for accommodating one with special dietary restrictions with a plain (yet delicious) salmon and potato serving.

The food is exceptional. You wont find better Italian food. We shared escargot, I had Cannelloni, my hubby had veal Parmigiano. My sister had filet mignon, my sister-in-law had smelts. The range is impressive. I didnt have room for dessert, in fact I brought some home. It was a birthday celebration, and we were unable to bring in our own sugar free cake (2 bdays, same day, both diabetic) so thats my only regret. Great server. Nick! A wonderful night. We had a party of 8 and unfortunately unless you were in the middle you couldnt communicate with others, its very loud. We have been there before and will be again. Thank you!

We have been regular patrons since the 1980s in the original Old Kanata location and since its relocation to the wonderful Heritage Home on Hazeldean Road. Vince established and developed one of the finest Italian Cuisine Restaurants and Perry and his sister have continued the tradition of excellence. The service is professional Top of the line , the menu and food preparation Mouth watering delicious and the wine collection is Premier. This is our favourite place to enjoy an evening out and most certainly to celebrate special occasions. You must try it. It has been quite awhile since we have been able to get back to your incredible restaurant but have again be hugely satisfied. To be honest there was a brief period in the last few years were we felt it had fallen behind but most certainly that issue has been corrected. Food taste, presentation and portions are again were they had been. Probably due to managing things since Covid forced business to adjust. 100 percent satisfied and eager to recommend to others. You won t be disappointed Thank you to Perry, chef and full staff. Well done.
