Ottavio St-Laurent in Saint-Laurent

High prices for what it is!! Overcooked squid, bland chicken parmigiana... There are much better Italian restaurants, dont waste your money!

Excellent service and good food

Too salty

At Otavio, we are never disappointed. This family restaurant offers a menu for everyone, including and especially for gluten-free. Everything is good! From pizzas to mussels, veal shank and salmon tartare. We come, we come back, and we are happy there.

It s like eating with family Parking: Enlightened

Thank you for a wonderful evening. Great food, service and atmosphere. A must try when you are in the area.

the food was really good. i recommend this restaurant a lot. i m very picky and i loved the food. excellent service.

Good food, good service. THANKS!

Food is always delicious. Large portions!

the extras on the pasta, the price is exaggerated..$4 per extra...so a bowl of pasta is $35..thats where the limit is....

The salads were not good to much green not enough flavor the beets were paper thin a few mango added ;the pizza dough frozen not impressed a real disappointment!!

Vegetarian options: 1st pasta came not boiled sent back and came back floating in oil bath. For 29$... Food : 1/5

Nice Italian restaurant. Very good service. Nice ambiance but very very noisy. Always full and thats a good sign, plus BYOW style.

The best!

The lasagna is probably the best Ive eaten. The pizza is also very good. I cant wait to go back.

Very good service from Jade :)

The Alfredo lasagna is incredible. Wheelchair accessibility: If it is at ground level

The service and food is so good, the prices are reasonable for the quality and ambiance of the place, I will certainly return even if they leave me without bread and butter.

Dietary restrictions: Parfait pour les personnes coeliaque Food

Very very good service from Zackary. Good food as usual.

Update: The restaurant manager was very responsive to the concern I raised and made sure to address the issue. Excellent service because many restaurants will just ignore issues without addressing it. Thank you to the manager. Went to pick up lunch today at this restaurant today and came home to discover that they disnt even peel label off the peppers. Not sanitary. Hope the restaurant rectify this.

Excellent attention to people with celiac disease and the food was very good. THANKS

More in-depth review coming soon! In short, for now, all was great.

Great attention to detail with gluten-free request I had. Especially that it was for young child. I did take out, friendly service + on-time pick up

Good Italian place, you won t be disappointed. Plus, look at this great picture I drew on the placemat!

Beautiful memories

Very good restaurant for coeliacs, there are many gluten-free choices and the staff are very careful about cross-contamination. I highly recommend this restaurant Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Nice spot

We had an amazing and delicious meal while on vacation in Montreal. They have a special allergy menu and were able to accommodate our child with allergies. We also were extremely impressed with the food!

Perfect Excellent pasta: I had the pesto with mushrooms The chocolate mousse deserved its name

BYOW restaurant. Good for parties. Lots of places. Beautiful decor. Large parking lot. Good menu with a good selection of pastas and pizza. The food is good. I prefer pizza.

We enjoyed our experience at Ottavio. The pasta was delicious, the restaurants decor was modern and the service was quick. However, be prepared to pay the price because it is still quite expensive for the type of food that is served.

Very good service and we ate very well. My friend is celiac and she had a lot of choices. Vegetarian options: There is a vegan menu and it is possible to replace any cheese with faux-mage. Dietary restrictions: There is a complete gluten-free menu.

Great service. Good food. Plenty of parking. Please note: They do not serve alcohol. Food : 4/5

Great food and they cather to people with allergies

DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY AND TIME. HIGHLY NOT WORTH IT. Before 2019 we used to go there from time to time. Back then the food was fine and price was acceptable. NOW?? WE WENT THERE 4 TIMES SINCE THE PANDEMY, AND EACH TIME WAS WORCE THEN THE OTHER(OVERSOLTED AND IR UNDER OR OVERCOOKED FOOD; SMALLER PORTIONS AND HIGHER COST. LAST TINE WAS THE LAST STRAW!: PLATERS WERE UNBEARABLE, MEAT DRY AND OVERCOOKED, AND NAYNLY BON OVER A PLATER OF LITTLE PASTA. AND THE COST????- WEVE PAID 400$ FIR WHAT? JUST DISGUSTING.

Service was very slow and restaurant was half full. We went for my daughter s birthday she loves being able to check off what to eat in their kid s menu. We were 6 which includes my two kids and it was very long. My daughter did not get her meal first which is the usual at other restaurants mainly the Ottavio in laval. I had to pace outside with my son in his stroller because it took so long to get the bill, I paced close to half an hour. Much quicker and better service at the Laval location. New menu items were interesting, we had the zucchini fritter it was tasty. Left disappointed on the service front.

Newest review ,July 2024 ,all you can eat mussels. Food good,service good,but prices are getting too high .2 meals,no entrees or dessert or coffee 88$ with tax & tip.Pricey Most recent Feb 2024 dinner special on pasta night at restaurant, food was excellent good service,prices on special reasonable. Decent meal and service,although a bit rushed asked server to wait between entree and main dishes but both came at nearly same time.

Exceptional value, good service

Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten free options Food

Atmosphere and service was really good. Restaurant was very empty for a Friday night. Food very mid, got lasagna and garlic bread, wasnt impressed by either dish. Server was extremely nice but wont be returning. Dietary restrictions: They have a whole menu catering to dietary restrictions, very allergen friendly

We are always satisfied...never disappointed

The service was the best aspect. Food was ok but cold and bland. The setup is clearly aimed for booths but the tradeoff is the tables are just ok

Great service. Lousy food. If you like soggy pizza, watered down muscles and a $10 vanilla pudding passed as creme bullet than this will be the restaurant for you. $65 would be better spend on toilet paper. One star is being generous.

Great service and great food, especially for gluten free. Very considerate of dietary restrictions. Dietary restrictions: Celiac

Delicious good service

Service médiocre.. je suis aller manger hier avec ma copine vers 19:30, nous avons commandé 2 pizza et nous avons attendu presque 1h pour que le serveur revienne a notre table avec des pâtes.. deplus, le serveur a aucun moment est venu nous voir pour s assurer que tout était bien. je ne recommande pas le restaurant, c etais ma première fois et ma dernière fois.

The meal was very good, the basic service too and the welcome too, but in terms of the kitchen, a small problem disappointed us on our first visit, we had to wait more than an hour for our plates of lasagna and hair. vegetable angels, the portions are big, but so are the prices

I liked this restaurant. It was quite crowded, a lot of tables, not much room to walk in between the tables. The food was good. Didnt blow my mind. I ordered the Pesto pasta. It was mostly oil, not much Pesto, maybe thats just how it is. Is was tasty nonetheless. My family enjoyed the evening, thats what was important to me, so Im happy.

Uneven cuisine, poor service (forget meals - no bread...

we went with my family all in all 7 people and it was a great experience. Shoutout to our waitress Emma for being super nice, likeable and helpful with any needs. food came very fast and all at the same time. highly recommend

I would love to put 0 stars, worst service, food good The service of the waitress was horrible never ill never come back to this restaurant Food

Good service and good food.

I have been going to this restaurant for 15 years, generous meals, good price. Very clean. Vegetarian options: Menu for dietary restrictions Dietary restrictions: Special menu Kid-friendliness: Very accessible for children, high chairs available Wheelchair accessibility: No problem

Very good food Waiter was very good, and professional Food

delicious

Great food, great service. Always an enjoyable experience.

Amazing food and great service

Loved the mushroom pizza and calamari. Service was fast and friendly.

Amazing food great service

It s a nice place for an everyday meal, the food is consistent.

Had a great time celebrating my daughters birthday. Excellent food, excellent service by Frédérique, and great atmosphere. Will definitely return. Dietary restrictions: Full vegan and gluten free menu.

Generous portions, clean restaurant, fast service, a little impersonal (very busy), competitive price,

Exceptional service, generous portion and affordable price! The dishes are so good

The staff is super vigilant regarding gluten intolerances and allergies for celiacs. The pasta is excellent!

Great food, quite loud, slow service because very busy place...

Had a great time with family at Ottavio. Food options are good, service was great.

I ordered a pizza on which there was goat cheese and mozzarella. I asked if they can omit the mozzarella and add more goat cheese. I got the pizza as requested, about 2 table spoon of goat cheese crumbs sprinkled on. When I get my bill, 6$ extra charge for the more goat cheese that replaced the mozzarella ?!? That more was hardly a table spoon more! When I dispute it, the server asks the manager whose response was that s the price. The Manager didn t even have the professionalism to come in person and address the dissatisfaction of their customer. My response was, then this is my last time here. Along with the 15 other friends that accompanied me. Not a very nice customer service. To gain that 6$, you lost some 15 customers. Do the math. While I acknowledge that cost and prices have gone up, but a table spoon of goat cheese crumbs is not 6$. That s pure theft, and not good customer service. Not trying to be cheap, my bill was 50$, but that 6$ was not right. This is the first time ever I write a bad review. I am really ticked off.

It was a get together for a colleague graduating from her workspace (ok ok RETIRING, lol), great staff, and food .well I had pizza .which was ok, one of my friends had pasta with shrimp (I counted 5-6 smallish shrimps) and she was disappointed ..thank you

Everything was excellent! Looking forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommend this restaurant. Food

Amazing food with great service Dietary restrictions: Many glueten free options Food : 5/5 |

Great pizza very good service. Good place for kids to eat.

$20 for a small poutine and $30 for a small pizza.....way overpriced!!!!

Fantastic place. Food and service excellent!! Will be back again Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Excellent restaurant, I recommend it!

Good food and enjoyed the pizza

Best of the best of the best ever First I would love to apologize for start eating before I take the picture because the plate look awesome and very yummy , I love everything about that place from the fast service to the decoration I m telling you the food is to die for and always someone around in case you need anything so clean and everything is up to date even the manager on the floor helping and the Always the best ever yummy food , amazing Emma was the best service on earth Thank you Emma make our life best ever best part is bring your own wine I bring my own scotch whisky I know it was an error lol but the rule are only wine ha ha So romantic place and Sophie the girl took our order she is so sweet I am surprised with her knowledge about the food what s in it know how and what s good with what go try it we loved the place

Excellent salmon, and we can bring our own wine (or beer).

The pizza was quite good, as was the pasta Primavera! The portions were decent-sized. The calamari app was about average. The large salad was truly large! The server was pleasant and good with a large group. The casual atmosphere was great!

Celebrated a milestone birthday with family and friends.. staff is awesome as always. Menu changes added nice variety . Food is great as always. Everyone has a Beautiful evening

Very good cuisine. Restaurant filled. Server seemed overwhelmed. Service n/a n/a. Possibly lack of staff. But hey....... Vegetarian options: Very good. There is a vegan and gluten-free menu. Alright. Parking: In mini shopping center. Other businesses closed at this time. Stat. available.

Great food great service. Nice vibe and affordable prices. Menu is great for everyone and every taste

Best service you can find in the city, unmatched food quality and service would deserve 10 stars if it was possible . Super recommended

had my first date with my boyfriend here and it was really really good, the date and the resto! we brought our own wine, didn t make reservations and still got quickly seated. it s a bit loud and crowded but we thought it was funny we couldn t hear each other well all the time. I really like the food, tried the pasta and pizza! we went back 9months after and had the same server, he was so nice and we quite enjoyed the food, big portions.

The best

Service was disappointing. Arrived 4pm and acted hesitant to give us a table because of 6pm reservations. The venue was completely empty.. Chose not to sit us at a booth and didn t offer any bread for the table. We noticed we were the only table to not be served bread.

The food is excellent, service is good too, but the servers try to rush you out after youre done eating. Thats the only drawback.

It was good, decent service, decent atmosphere

There were 3 of us there this evening with the 2 and a half year old and we were very well served. They are good with gluten and dairy allergies and knowledgeable. The recommendations from the waiter (George) were really spot on. They were super accommodating to our daughter and she even got a scoop of ice cream! The ideal restaurant for people with intolerances and normal people haha!

Honestly a horrible experience. Although I can t argue that our waitress was amazing the Food wasn t great and was very overpriced, pasta was undercooked and somehow took an eternity to come out. Worst of all, food is marketed as gluten free and although we were assured everything was made separately, me, someone with celiac disease was immediately ill after eating this food. Of course the manager denied that it was possible and no reparations were made. To top it off a member of our party suffered food poisoning just a couple hours after eating the salmon tartare. Do not eat here

The best Italian restaurant in Ville Saint-Laurent! I had bread to start with, and lasagna for my main meal. So yummy! I m definitely going back!

Hey, It was really good. The food tastes good I personally tasted the lasagna and the staff were very courteous and kind . A pleasant environment for a family meal or a party with friends. Hope you enjoy. Yours truly *careful it might be hot (the lasagna) Hats off to the chef the texture was brilliant. If I may add the meat and quantity was generous.

Vwry good food. Good service. Table should have tavle clorh instead paper sheets look cheap.

Superb oven pizzas or /and muscles Belgian style BYW, competent, friendly and priced right

Great service and staff. Does get a little loud on a busy day. Everyone there is very friendly! The food is good. As someone who has celiac they follow all the protocols.

Dietary restrictions: Great for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance Food

Great restaurant with good food.

The service was great, and the food was fantastic! It great experience for all (Vegan, Gluten-Free, etc.) highly recommend it!

The waitress looked lost when I asked her if it was possible to make changes to a dish. That said, my pasta was excellent! I would have liked a better atmosphere (music/exlair)

After a difficult first welcome in English, our second server was great. That said, $30 for a regular pasta dish makes it really expensive. The place is one of the rare places where people with celiac disease can have a bit of fun, but the prices dont make any sense. Finally, the place where we were installed had very poor acoustics, and we could not hear each other. Note: according to our server, their weekend brunch formula ( Méli ) does not contain a gluten-free dish strange and a little disappointing.

bad ambience. Its like a big student cafeteria. the food is ok but is expensive. the service is not very good and they close at 10 on saturday!

Excellent spot especially for those seeking gluten-friendly options. Also try them for weekend breakfast

Its not what it used to be: less choice on the menu, you no longer feel the team spirit of the staff, the prices have increased a lot. So the quality/price ratio is less good. Ideal for unlimited mussels and seafood linguini.

Positive point: Its a BYOB. The restaurant is very beautiful and they are very careful about allergies. The cakes were very good. Negative point: If you have allergies you do not have access to 3/4 of the menu. I didnt have the chance to eat what I wanted because the precautions were not taken to allow it. The red napkins and bowls are for people with allergies. The service is really not fast since there are two servers for the entire room. The comments from the servers are sometimes inappropriate as well, which detracts from the overall experience. The donuts were undercooked and the pink lasagna was not pink. Overall, if you order a pasta dish that doesnt contain meat, the portions are quite small for the price (pasta is really cheap as a base cost). We had higher expectations given the prices, we will not return. Vegetarian options: Part of the menu is adapted. Dietary restrictions: Part of the menu is dedicated to food allergies.

The waiter who served us, super polite and very friendly

The spaghetti Bolognese was a little too acidic and the portion was kind of skimpy for $20.00 with tax and tip $28 for one person (spaghetti and nothing else)

The service from George was fast and friendly. The servings were generous and everyone in our group was happy with their food. We chose Ottavio because they have an entire dedicated vegan menu, which worked perfectly for our group. The quality of the regular menu is top shelf, but the vegan food was equally great. The vegan food was absolutely delicious and the options were substantial. A rarity at an Italian restaurant. Will definitely visit again!

The service is terrible: the employees are so incompetent they forced my husband to pay for our order a 2nd time at pickup when they already charged my card in the online order form on their website. Waste of my time.

Pretty simple place for lunch. Food was decent. Overall OK

Staff were super helpful with good understanding of allergy management. It wouldve been great to have some gluten-free and dairy-free dessert options to complete the full meal. Dietary restrictions: Good allergy management process. Once we notified our server of our allergies, the cutlery was switched and all of our orders were provided on red plates. It provides good peace of mind.

Excellent vegan options, fresh food , excellent friendly service. BYOB as well. All very good.

BYOB places are a rare gem. Ottavio was pleasant, staff was courteous. Food was ok; I ordered the Greek salad, which isnt their specialty. The vegetables were fresh, the cheese tasted slightly old. The after-dinner coffee never showed up, though its just as well because I saw my colleagues coffees and they looked very weak. I dont want to undersell the place; aside from the coffee, my colleagues all seemed quite satisfied with their meals. If you go here, Id suggest ordering something Italian. Last time I ordered the salmon tartar which was good. Only dont try to order in Italian; the waitress had no idea what tartare di salmone was.

Amazing place for safe gluten free dining

Food average. Large portions but getting expensive all the time. No need to charge $16.00(I believe) for beignets (fried doe). Food

Great wood-stove pizza. Extremely noisy environment. Best for a party, not so good for a quiet date-night. Asked about allergies right as we were being seated. Very allergy-conscious restaurant.

Duck confit linguine had great presentation but just tasted very sweet for some reason. My friends lasagna was really good though. Friendly service but the fact she recommended the linguine which was arguably the worst thing on the menu is a bit of a turn off.

Italian restaurant which offers a varied and appetizing menu, with generous and tasty dishes. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with elegant and refined decoration. The service is courteous and efficient, but not very personalized. The restaurant offers good value for money and a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Vegetarian options: Sans gluten et végane Dietary restrictions: Menu complet sans gluten et végane Parking: Situé dans un petit centre dachat, stationnement identifié pour personnes handicapées Wheelchair accessibility: Trottoir abaissé un peu plus loin que lentrée du resto

Amazing service, good atmosphere, ok food .

Food is good, I highly recommend the arancini and the calamari!

Must try!!! Real good food good ppl amazing service

Very salty pizza, a non-existent server and a very high noise level, in short a bad evening

The food was excellent and the service impeccable. Dietary restrictions: They have a section in their menu for gluten free

Absolutely recommend this place,great service great atmosphere and excellent food, I had the lamp plate and I really enjoyed, cooked to perfection. It soo delicious that forgot to take a picture:)

This is my all time favorite restaurant! The food is always amazing and the workers are always super nice! Dietary restrictions: This place is celiac safe! They get you new plates, cups, utensils and everything when you say that you need to eat gluten free. Your napkin and plate will be red instead of white like other people so that the service knows which plates are gluten free and not to contaminate them!

I like this restaurant

Good gluten-free options. The only complaint is the way they clean their tables. They use this awful smelling liquid on a spray on the tables, which travels around the restaurant. Not fun while your still eating. Using spay bottles to clean tables is a bad practice to begin with. Food

Very good and fast service

Great evening with friends. Food was good and we did not feel rushed. Enjoyed the evening Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free menu and a vegan menu.

Ive eaten here in the past and service was great But this time I was very dissatisfied. No water no bread and I ordered an entree and never got it. I hope that when you foodies eat here your experience will be better.

Everything I ate had no taste...presentation leaves something to be desired. The only satisfactory thing was my wine which I brought myself!!

We had a terrific evening! The food was great, the service with Benjamin was excellent. We will be back.

A few months ago it was good, but yesterday . Mussels ($30), marinara, overcooked in tomato sauce 100% can sauce! So thick that it was obvious that they reheated them a lot of times, because the mussels became so small and dry . The pizza: pizza dough so hard and dry, obviously pizza made in the microwave, with almost no cheese and dry and cold meat, we asked for olive oil for it to pass, but we have to wait long for anyone to see us. I forgot! The starter: snails (served in a sort of biscuit bowl, so oily and a little stale), they were served before the bread, so when the bread arrived, they were already cold. Summary: today we got sick, no I dont recommend everything, better dominós pizza, or maybe pizza pizza is better, at least we wouldnt be sick

good food, price is a bit high

Love this location. Thanks to the cooking team because the food is really good. Thanks to the staff because they are so hard working and friendly.

Tastes are natural! Good luck to be a winner (work, team)

Very nice place. Great service and it was very good.

Had a great evening, as always, at our company Christmas dinner, Jade was great, even if we were over 50 people. Had Diablo mussels and the jarret as the main. Excellent on both!! Weve been going to Ottavios for years and they didnt disappoint again, even with a large group. Well done

Be careful if you have allergies.

Night out with friends, we ordered mussels, and chicken Parmigiana Service was ok, if you order mussels please provide Mussels Forks? Should not have to ask twice ,Train your Staff. No bread at the table, with Mussels? Really? The Mussels were délicieux, The chicken was really good

I like this place,the lunch menu is well priced for the portion they serve. I would definitely suggest it

Excellent service and great precaution for gluten-free!!

They like to claim to be allergy safe, but despite calling to confirm and providing specifications when taking the order, I received a pizza containing the allergens to avoid. Very disappointing place, not worth taking a chance. Vegetarian options: Did not substitute cheese as requested Dietary restrictions: Did not comply.

Server was very nice and knowledgeable..willing to converse with my friend.

Excellent dinning experience. Great food quality, authentic Italian cuisine The place is beautiful and elegant. Food : 5/5 |

Évitez les cheveux dange aux légumes. Cest un plat de pâtes qui baignent dans lhuile et qui nont aucun goût. Ma blonde a commandé la pizza excellente. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options page in the menu. Lots of choices though some are tasteless. Dietary restrictions: Lots of Gluten free options

Very much overpriced food for the quality. Apetizers were 4 tasteless fried veggie rice balls for 22$. The pizza (24.50) had a nice crust but was far too salty. The arabiata pasta dish (20$) was pasta with canned sauce. Total of 70$ for that. Fortunately, the waiter was friendly.

It s your average place, not bad. Not great. Service was borderline acceptable. Price value is very medium too. Almost want to give it three stars but technically you get what you pay for

Really nice option for strict Gluten Free people : this place is celiac-friendly with dedicated food, and goes up to identifying GF dishes with red plates or red napkins when bringing it to your table. Loved it ! Food

A very good restaurant
