After going to this place a few times I see no need to go to any of the other overpriced, not as good Italian restaurants in Ottawa. La Piazza rivals them all, the pasta is all fresh, homemade, the value is incredible and the food is outstanding. I've had most of the items on the menu and there is nothing that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. It's just all that good. The owner is a typical Italian, he's very proud of his heritage and has tried to replicate what you would find at a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant in Abruzzo.

The wine list is really good, they have some special finds that are not available anywhere else. We are never disappointed with our meals when we eat here and we usually try to go once a month.
