Lttile Italy

Ottawa’s Little Italy is a vibrant neighbourhood centered around Preston Street. You’ll find trendy restaurants, cafes and shops that reflect the area’s Italian heritage. Little Italy is also home to a number of festivals and events throughout the year, including Italian Week Festival and the Tulip Festival. Here, you’ll find not only the most incredible Italian food, but food from all over the world. 

Indulge in a perfect piece of za at Roberto’s Pizzeria, awaken your tastebuds at EVOO Greek Kitchen, pick a beer from the infamous “beer bible” at Pub Italia, be transported to Thailand at the Green Papaya and find your perfect sushi roll at Kuidaore. 

Take your Little Italy experience up a notch and get your meal to-go. Located at the end of Preston Street is Dow’s Lake, a body of water surrounded by green space, including the Arboretum. Have a picnic or rent a canoe and eat your food on the water!
