“Amazing service. Definitely one the best I've had at a restaurant. They are willing to make you any plate you want. I had a combo of three things, chicken Parmesan, chicken Alfredo, and ravioli. It was amazing! I also had a salad. Definitely will be coming back. A little more on the expensive side but worth it.” Reema D.
“I would recommend Mamma Teresa's to anyone traveling to Ottawa. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. Both my wife and I enjoyed our entire dinner so much we almost came back the very next night. If you are looking for great Italian food in a warm setting and with fantastic service, this is your place.” John J.
“The is a must go to authentic Italian staple in Ottawa. Classy, polite and nothing but professionalism. Smoked salmon appetizer is fresh and incredible. Walter is an absolute gentleman, a delight to talk to and a fantastic host. The spaghetti mama Teresa is phenomenal as well as their lobster ravioli. I can't wait for my next visit. This establishment will never disappoint and the service is upscale and superb. With an extensive bar and wine list. Highly recommended.” Alexa B.
