The food here was great! They have an entire gf menu. The service was great and when my mom and I mentioned that we have celiac they were super knowledgeable and they explained that they even have different colour plates for their gf food. I felt extremely safe eating here and really enjoyed the food. Got the calamari, two pastas (I hadn’t had ravioli in over 7 years and it did not disappoint!) and a pizza for everyone at the table to share

Absolutely phenomenal! Quite a busy little spot but it’s worth a wait! The staff were so friendly and welcoming and happy to answer any questions. So many gluten free options at or around the same price as the regular menu items. They even have multiple gf desserts!

This is a real gem!! There is a dedicated gluten free menu and prep area in the kitchen. The chef came to the table and told us about his Celiac awareness training and how he trains his staff. He has been certified gluten-free by the Celiac Assiciation. What a gift to us Celiacs. His story made me cry, in gratitude. What a lovely man...and he is not a Celiac. But, he understands our disease. And, the food.....I was skipping the table with delight. It was all delicious! And, I felt safe so I relaxed with the experience. My friends ordered off of the regular menu and the gluten-free menu and they couldn't taste the difference. It was all tasty and delicious!!! And, as a plus, ALL the desserts are gluten-free!!

The meal was delicious! My Caesar salad, garlic bread, and mushroom ravioli were all served on black dishes versus the white dishes for the regular food. The cheesecake is gluten free and my daughter who eats gluten ordered it as well and loved it. My family all enjoyed their meals and desserts, and the portions were generous. Fifi was a very nice waitress. My son was sad that we’re only visiting Ottawa and won’t be able to eat there again. We’d all go back in a heartbeat!

Delicious classic Italian food. Super celiac knowledgable. Did I mention cannelloni?? Lasagna?? Garlic toast??? We never thought we would find celiac-safe Italian like this in Ontario. And cozy and inviting atmosphere too for post-pandemic eating in.

Truly the best dining experience. They ask at the door if you need a gluten-free menu. They have a dedicated GF kitchen area, as well as a non-GF one so you can go enjoy with non-Celiac friends. Food is prepared separately and stored separately. This is the only restaurant with CCA certification. All staff take training on Celiac and Cross-Contamination. The owner and Chef is fantastic and will come talk to you about his story and their protocols, including colour coded plates etc.

Amazing food and service, they have a certification to handle gluten free food. my son is Celiac and reacts with stomach ache and throwing up if he consumes gluten so he is perfect indicator of safety. My son was over the moon to be able to have pizza in a restaurant as any other pizza / italian place is not safe. The gluten free pizza and pasta were delicious. One of our favourite places to go when we go back to Ottawa

Great experience! I appreciated how they announced that the appetizers and my meal were gluten free and that my brother had the “wheat lasagna” when they placed them at the table. It made me feel extra safe. The gluten free pasta the next day was great warmed up again, no issues with it being mushy!

I had an excellent experience at La Dolce Vita. They take gluten free and celiac very seriously. There is a full GF menu, including all of the desserts. The GF pasta is made separately from the gluten pasta. The gluten free dishes come out on a black plate and the waitstaff verbally identified and confirmed the gluten free dishes. I had the chicken Parmesan with spaghetti and the crème brûlée for dessert. Everything was delicious. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff, spoke to the chef briefly as well. It’s small but great!

My FAVOURITE restaurant in Ottawa. After we discovered it we went 6 times in a year on every occasion we could.
Dedicated kitchen space, pans, pots, you name it for GF dishes. They're very knowledgeable, certified, and it shows. The GF food comes out on a black plate so you always know.
Most things on the regular menu which aren't already on the GF menu can be made GF by request. They also have cheesecake, the only place I've been able to eat it.
The chef always comes out to say hello which is absolutely charming.
This place is a gem.

Oh my what a quaint spot in Ottawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Definitely recommend going here for a fantastic homemade gluten free meal. My first time here and won’t be my last. I had gluten free polenta bites-chicken parmigiana-spaghetti noodles with Alfredo sauce-garlic cheese toast. Thanks so much for a great evening with my grandson.

Unfortunately, I was not able to taste any of the food. I tested both the appetizer and the main dish with Nima, and both tasted positive for gluten. The chef came to the table and was apologetic, but did not offer to re-make the food and to try to make it right. He kept talking about their "celiac safe" certification. Clearly, that certification doesn't mean much. Very disappointed.
