Great food! The chicken parmesan was a bit too spicy.

The food, service, ambiance etc. were very nice. However... we were expecting a "supper club" experience; especially on a Saturday night. Our reservations were for 7:00; was that too early for the "Supper Club" (def: a restaurant or nightclub serving suppers and usually providing entertainment) activity? Or, did our expectations exceed the reality of 2025?

Our first visit to Cantina Gia was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by an ambiance of comfort and calm. The warm decor and soft lighting set the stage for a relaxing evening. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff struck a perfect balance—attentive yet unobtrusive. Their quiet professionalism made everything feel seamless and welcoming. We began with the Gigi Mocktail, a beautifully presented, refreshingly balanced non-alcoholic drink. As we sipped, we admired the vibrant cocktails served to others—visually stunning and clearly crafted with care. The restaurant's atmosphere is a blend of intimacy and liveliness. Early in the evening, it's serene, but by the end, the volume of fellow diners picked up. For a quieter experience, consider booking earlier. Cantina Gia is more than a restaurant; it's a sanctuary. Whether you're catching up with a friend or enjoying a quiet solo meal, the space adapts effortlessly to your needs. It feels like a place where you truly belong. The food elevated the evening even further. We shared Arancini—crispy on the outside with a creamy center, showcasing skill and attention to detail. For mains, I had the Mushroom Mafaldine, a generous plate of perfectly al dente pasta in a vibrant arugula pesto. My friend’s Ricotta and Lemon Agnolotti struck a beautiful balance of richness and brightness, each bite a delight. As mentioned, the service deserves a special mention—graceful, warm, and thoughtful. The staff made us feel like honored guests in their home. Leaving Cantina Gia, we carried with us a sense of gratitude and joy. It's a rare gem, blending elegance, comfort, and culinary excellence. Whether you're a foodie or simply in search of a memorable evening, Cantina Gia is a place worth returning to again and again.

What a great place. Slowly changing menu means there always a new delight as well as old favourites. Owner Surinder always a delight. A very special place in Ottawa

Server was very friendly, wish it was a little cozier
