- TTannerOttawa •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWent to this restaurant for a date. Upon arrival, the waitress was very kind and got us seated fairly quickly. The ambiance and atmosphere of the place was magnificent and gave a very romantic mood. I have to say, the lighting was very dim but in a good way that gave the perfect vibe for the date to set the mood. We were seated at a small table which included a real burning candle and a rose which smelled amazing. Although the tables are very close together and the noise level was fairly loud when we arrived, it was still a great mood and experience overall. The music which played in the background was R&B. As for the food, I had the Spaghetti Pomodoro and my date had the Spaghetti Meatballs. We were not disapointed with the quality of the food and the price. The food tastes fantastic and the prices are just right. Our waitress was also very attentive and consistently refilled our waters and took our orders for dinner and dessert at the right times. Overall, Cantina Gia is a fantastic restaurant for a romantic evening with that special someone. It does not disappoint.More infoCantina GiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• The Glebe•4.6

- CCatherineOttawa •11 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe had a lovely evening with excellent food and service. The oysters were fresh, delicious and served with 2 sauces that really elevated the taste. Another stand out dish was the seafood chowder, really delicious. We enjoyed the rest of the meal and I loved the pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Also noted that our cappuccinos were very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going again.More infoFaunaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Canadian• Downtown•4.7
