About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

A Northern Italian kitchen inspired by the Bacari of Venice.

Our menu is inspired by tradition and dictated by the quality and availability of ingredients. We play off the similarities between the climates of Eastern Ontario and Northeast Italy, and create our take on classic dishes made with seasonal game, seafood and vegetables. Plus, sometimes we’ll just add whatever we want.

On practically every calle, salizada and ruga in Venice, you’ll find a Bacaro – a casual place to grab a glass of wine or Prosecco and a bite to eat, known as “cichèti.” Bacari are Italy’s answer to the pub, and cichèti are the Italian answer to Spanish tapas. Italians have an answer for everything. Situated at the rear of the restaurant, our Bacaro upholds the Italian tradition of togetherness. It’s the perfect place to meet friends after work, or to share a casual glass of sparkling wine and a small bite to eat.

We ate outside, so our only concern is the proximity to the sidewalk. They was a lot of congestion both with pedestrians and neighborhood traffic. Certain "people without shelter" loitering, wandering in to peer on the tables, etc..

Very nice quiet restaurant. Cozy inside and the service from Rachel was perfect: respectful, gentle and very taughtful. The food was great ; polpette, tomate and straciatella were tasteful. The risotto could have been more tasty with the use of a sea shell broth but was still good. You could easily taste the lemon in the culurgiones(which were a bit hard) and the tomate sauce was superb. The halibut was very toasty taste loved every bite ! Finished with the tiramisu that was ok. A very nice expérience ans we will for sure comeback.

We had an incredible evening at North & Navy in Ottawa. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavour. Our server, Anna, was fantastic, attentive, warm, and made the whole experience feel extra special. The ambiance is elegant and inviting, perfect for a memorable night out. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but well worth it for a special occasion. We left feeling completely satisfied and already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend!
