Love the food - it is really really good and always fresh. The service takes time so you need to know that before you go and be prepared to be patient. It is worth the wait and the servers are very friendly and helpful. The only down side to this restaurant is the atmosphere. It they would dim the lights, add a little Italian music in the background, get more comfortable tables and chairs and remove the tiles from the walls that cause the echo which makes it very noisy, they would have a 5 star place and the absolute best restaurant in Ottawa. They could open a franchise- the food is that good.
An out of the way little house that looks like a local take out pizza joint. Walk in and there are a few tables. Sit down and order and get some of the best Italian food I have had in Ottawa. Ask what the special is, you never know. We stared wit a sausage appetizer that is to die for, flavorful and spiced just right. There were 6 of us so we all ordered different things and tried each others. There was not a loser in the bunch. Skip the insalata, it is just greens on a plate. The veal picatta was outstanding and the pastas were great. Get the house wine, the night we were there it was a very good valpolicella.
You will need reservations here very soon, best to call before had anyway.
Oh my goodness. Go check out this place. I go weekly but they had been closed for a couple of weeks over the holidays for renovations. Frank and Pat outdid themselves when they renovated. It is beautifull. Very elegant and modern with still a touch of the same Pizarros that I have come to know and love . The food is still excellent and the prices are fantastic. You won't find a better place to dine. Go check it out
We've been going to Pizzaro's for at least 8 years, the food is exceptional, the service excellent and everyone are very polite with their guests.
The food is always hot, fresh and tasty. Very well presented. The zuchinnis are to die for, everyone that I've brought to this wonderful restaurant tell me that they keep going back.
Kudos to Pizzaro's
My girlfriend and I eat here all of the time, it has the most amazing thin-crust pizza that I have seen in Ottawa. Its quaint, but we always have a great time here!
The people are really down to earth and treat you like a somebody everytime, this place is a real hidden jem and in my opinion is the best Italian food I have ever experienced and the people I have recomended to go there agree, I say try everywhere else then try this place you will also agree.
We had Fetuccini Ferrari and the Pasta Sampler. Both were great. Portion size was good. Ambiance could use a little work.
Looking forward to trying the terrace in the summer.
It's probably best to call ahead and make reservations if you're going on the weekend.

I had the lunch special which I know is always a hit. The meat sauce is the best in the city as far as I can tell. The salad dressing is obviously fresh, I often see people leaving with a bottle of dressing. YUM.I frequent Pizarros about twice a week for lunch as I work close by. Sarah always gives us great service and is always there to greet you with a smile. She seems to knows what we want before we do,and it's always deliciouse. Very casual and relaxed atmosphere where you can just be yourself. I've also had dinner there a few times and have had the chicken parm among other things. FANTASTIC>>>>>>>>>>>

It was truly outstanding. And the service was excellent. Used to dine there frequently, Frank makes THE best pizza in all of ottawa. True italian taste, baked to perfection. Highly recommend any dish in the menu.
We eat at this restaurant quite often and have never been disappointed. It has probably the best meat sauce and Carbonara sauce in the city!!!!! It is of excellent quality and value! The chicken piccata is juicy and tender! yum. All of the combo platters are an excellent value!

I reside in Florida and have the good fortune of travelling to Ottawa on business 3-4 times each year. I always gather friends and business associates each time I visit and have dinner at this hidden gem. The food is second to none and the good old italian boys, Frank, Pat, Lino and Pierre always put their heart and soul in the food and service to ensure you are one of the family!!! Its like "a trip to Italy without the airfare"!!!!
