This is quite honestly one of the best traditional Italian restaurants that I've ever been to. I visited Ottawa on the weekend with some friends and we drove out to this scenic little village on the outskirts of the city. As we were walking around the village we came upon this restaurant behind a courtyard in the middle of the village.

Upon entering we were greeted warmly by the owner and were seated at a lovely table by the window. The owner recommended the gnocchi and the mussels as well as the shrimp diavola. We decided to try all of his suggestions and were really impressed with everything. The food was delicious, not pretentious, portion sizes were what you would expect for the price, overall it was a great value.

Everyone loved everything that they ate, we had a wonderful afternoon and ended up leaving wishing we lived closer to Ottawa... Back to Toronto for now.
