Mamma Grazzi's Kitchen

Warm, cozy and delightful. I've visited twice and will return.
The service is average but the the quality and flavour of the dishes meet expectations.

First of all, HORRIBLE service. The girl that sat us was rude. She sat us a tiny cramped table and when we asked if we could sit somewhere else, she insisted that all the other tables were reserved. She was definitely lying because it was Sunday night and half of the restaurant was empty. And then the waiter screwed up my order and brought me the wrong dish. He was condescending and just as rude as the girl that seated us. My dish finally arrived after 40 minutes and it was absolutely awful. Worst Italian meal I've ever had. Overpriced and disgusting. I don't even remember the name of it now. And then desert took almost as long to arrive--around 30 min for a 1 piece of Tiramisu that we shared. NEVER going back there.

Went on a date, perfect atmosphere for a romantic evening. Quiet, nestled away from the noise and roads in the Byward Market.

It was my second time going there, both times paid about $30/person with appetizers, dessert and tips. All the food is made to order and cooked and seasoned perfectly. Despite being made to order, fast friendly service and affordable prices make this restaurant worth the trip.

There are much better Italian eateries in Ottawa (think Preston St.) for the price- over-rated, Don't order steak here- it was grey and looked boiled!

I have been going to Mamma Grazzi's for YEARS, and I always get the same dish - Milano. It's fantastic!
