Diner Reviews
  • "Enjoyed my evening with my daughter and her wife. We had two appetizers and main dishes which we could hardly finish because so filling. Yummy. We will return for more! Molto grazie!"

  • "Decent Italian food but nothing out of the ordinary. Place was empty on a Friday night."

  • "Went for lunch. Cost wise was fairly high compared to average but the food didn't really meet up with the price."

  • "I took my family to Ottawa for the first time last weekend for Winterlude and found this restaurant on OpenTable so decided to book this for a special dinner on Saturday evening. While my expectations were not too high the evening was great with food on par with many of the restaurants here in Toronto. The service was excellent and they even accommodated some food restrictions."

  • "Had travelled to Ottawa for Winterlude and to skate the Rideau canal. Found Tosca restaurant on Open Table. Very nice atmosphere and decor. The food was very good from the appetizers to the main course and desert. Our waiter's service was less than we would have expected for this level of restaurant. The service was fair at best. Still overall a pleasant experience."

  • "We found out late in the day that some special guests from out of town would be dining with us, so naturally Tosca was our first choice for the night. One of their strengths is that they are consistently excellent. The food is always top-notch and the service is welcoming and professional. Our guests enjoyed themselves immensely and said that they will definitely come back to Tosca for another outstanding dining experience."

  • "The restaurant is beautiful, but the food is underwhelming"

  • "Once again Tosca Ristorante was outstanding. It is always our "go-to" place for family gatherings and for entertaining out of town guests. This past week we invited our downtown office colleagues to enjoy our Christmas party in this winning atmosphere. The food as always was exceptional and the service was friendly and professional. You will not be disappointed if you choose to dine at Tosca. The food, atmosphere and service are consistently exceptional time after time."

  • "Excellent service was a highlight. The food was good traditional Italian and arrived quickly and piping hot."

  • "The lunch menu is quite interesting and between that and the starters, there is a good selection of lighter and less expensive meals available for lunch. The food was great, salads were really nicely presented. The service was good, but could have been slightly more attentive."

  • "great service, food is okay. not outstanding italian cuisine"

  • "Service is excellent: Very efficient and courteous. Ambience is also very good. During my most recent visits I was disappointed with the food... The manicotti was dry (as though it had been in the freezer too long) and the gnocchi special (with cheese) was too rich (too much butter... or something) and lacked flavour."

  • "Disappointed with Tosca's offerings after happening upon the patio for a late family dinner while on vacation. No complaints with the staff or service however the food was really marginal against typical good Italian restaurants... Pizzas were OK at best, and seafood pasta was 'fishy'."

  • "Wasn't sure if our experience would be positively memorable based on many mixed reviews I've read on different review sites. However, from the moment we walked in the door service was attentive. We were very impressed with the quality of our meals and we have lots of comparisons we could make since we eat out a lot in town and abroad. Tosca proves you don't need to go to the market, Elgin street or Preston street to have a great meal. We will go back."

  • "Tosca had been a favourite of ours for the past 5 years that we have lived in Ottawa. However, the last 2 times have not been good. The wait staff have been overbearing when unnecessary...yet when I Indicated that my shrimps in my linguine do not taste fresh, they did nothing and then avoided our table until they were tracked down for a bill. The bill was not adjusted for the unedible shrimps which are a major component of the dish!!! We were not impressed and we do not see ourselves returning or recommending."

  • "I used to go to Tosca often when it was housed in a small house on Gloucester street, so despite the slick new digs I figured the amazing cuisine and impeccable service would remain intact - this is not the case. The food is fair a best, a cross between East Side Mario's and Vittorio Trattoria. Decent enough for lunch but not up to snuff for a client dinner. That being said, the bread is delicious, the wine list is good and the staff try, but are young and clearly not foodies as they failed to distinguish one type of pasta from another. It is unfortunate that such a formerly fine eatery has denigrated itself into the cliche Ottawa dining spot. Hopefully this place can reinvigorate itself to its former glory, but until then, I shall pass"

  • "We were in Ottawa for a conference. This was a business dinner and honestly, we were not overly impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was medicore, the service was the same. Nothing stood out about this restaurant. We ordered a bunch of appetizers....the pizza was ok....the fried zucchini were nice.....the antipasto was ok as well....again, this was a place, I would probably go at with my girlfriends for a casual night out...certainly not a place to impress a business client. I would not go back, as I feel Ottawa has many other dining options...but a nice place for a casual gathering."

  • "We shared the bruschetta appetizer, which was tasty enough. The tomatoes looked and tasted a little bland. But the seasonings and the crunchy bread were yummy. My husband had the gorgonzola pasta and declared it fabulous. I had the zuppa de pesce. It was LOADED with seafood. And was a HUGE serving. I managed to get through it all with some assistance from my husband, but I would definitely recommend sharing it with someone. The prosecco we drank throughout the meal was a nice festive touch. The service was friendly and attentive. We took the waiter's advice about what to order and he didn't steer us wrong. We enjoyed the crunchy, baby-biscotti that came with our after dinner espressos. All in all, a lovely dinner!"

  • "The food was very very good, one of the best Tiramisu I ever had. Service was friendly and attentive . We liked it so much that we went twice in a row, the second visit for my husband's birthday. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant."

  • "We really enjoyed our dinner at Tosca. We were there on Good Friday, and worried that it might not be open in spite of our Open Table reservation, as everything in the area was closed. However, it was open, and reasonably busy! The food was fantastic! Portions were generous, and the service was friendly, if a little slow from time to time. It took a while for bread to be brought, and for our dinner plates to be cleared and it took a while to get the bill. We may have noticed this more than others because we had our 9 year old with us, who was getting antsy toward the end. It wouldn't stop me going back, but just something to be aware of. All in all, a wonderful meal, and a lovely spot. I would recommend it."
