Review of Ottavio Gatineau

Amazing place!

This Italian restaurant has gluten free bread, pizza, pasta, fries (separate fryer), mussels, and several desserts!

It is not a gf dedicated facility, but they take several precautions. First, they gave me my cutlery wrapped in a red napkin with an allergy friendly sticker which also helped to communicate to all of the staff what I needed.

My order (Caesar salad with gf croutons!) and pizza came on red plates (all other dishes are white).

I asked the server if she recommends the pizza or pasta, and she said pizza. It was a great choice! It’s a thick, soft crust that reminds me of pizza hut’s pan pizza (I’m from the US, so not sure if there is a Canadian equivalent).

Overall I’m very happy with this choice!

Note that they are only open for dinner. During the day it’s a breakfast/brunch place called a different name. I showed up at lunch time and they informed me they have NO gf options.

So save it for dinner!
