Il Vicolo - Ottawa

Great ambiance, unique concept, and unlike anything else in Ottawa! And the pizza is exceptional - the best I've had since Italy! Kudos to Salim and the team for a job well done!

What a unique restaurant! The co-owners have turned an alley into a fantastic Italian bistro that serves some of the most original and exceptional pizza. The atmosphere is unlike anything else in Ottawa. I was told that this is the only outdoor restaurant that will be open in the winter! The staff, from the busboys to the bartender and servers, are all friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy working together. This makes a big difference. Congratulations, Ottawa really needed this little slice of European paradise. Grazie!

This restaurant serves a traditional Neapolitan pizza that is made properly and accurately. There are no trendy elements or pretentious toppings, just a delicious pizza made the right way. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is fun, and the staff are friendly.

Nestled away in the Byward Market, you may very well walk right past unless you've got an eye out for it. Choices include Lacarne (tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, smoked bacon, onions and mozzarella) and Veloce (crushed tomato sauce with hot sausage, spicy pepper rings, mozzarella dippers bufala and goat cheese drizzled with chilli olive oil). It's a super cute, romantic, open air resto in an alleyway with artisanal wood-fired personal pizzas that are bursting with flavour. What are you waiting for!

Delicious pizza and super cool atmosphere! Ali and his staff were so kind and made us feel at home. Definitely a place I will return to!!
