Ciao amici! Here are a few great places to check out while in the nation’s capital!!

1. Pietro’s Corner

A great first date location, for homemade pastas of all kinds. The sauces are very tasty. The ones featured here are “capicollo and funghi with cream.” Located in Westboro village, this is a MUST.

2.  For GELATO: Stella Luna! Excellent gelatos and sorbets, cakes as well, on Bank Street

3. Best Panino in town: La Bottega

 Do your grocery shopping, and have a panino!

4. Excellent wood-burning stove pizza at Anthony’s on Wellington

5. Best Bread in all of Ottawa! Little Italy Bakery on Preston Street.

 This wonderful bakery has traditional Italian bread and focaccias!
