Il Mercato - Ottawa, Ontario

I enjoyed my pizza slices and pasta here during my visit to Ottawa, I’m not sure about other reviews here but their pizza was definitely better than what you get chain brands like Pizza Hut etc.

Food quality is definitely not as bad as mentioned here. I really enjoy the pasta here and the pizza is good as well. Definitely inflated prices for what you get but this is a tourist area.

The people are friendly but the food was not so good. I got the turkey panini and it was horrible. I saw the picture and it looked like roasted turkey but the panini came with two slices of cold cut turkey. Also the sandwich was not a panini at all ... and was as hard as a rock, literally.

It is now the 14th time (over a 2 year period) me and my fiancee have come to this local and privately owned restaurant. Everytime we are here we order the same dishes and we are never let down. The man shakes my hand when I come in and is always ... chatting. The owner is very good at what he does and clearly has a love for cooking. Read more

Don't make the same mistake I did. The people are friendly, but the food is mighty vicious. Very greasy, and no love in these dishes. :( Always disappointing to visit a local shop and be served something that shows so little passion. Hopefully things get better in the future.
