About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Charming

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.

Food outstanding, service always on point and the birthday touch on the menu and candle for the dessert was the cherry on top. Always such a treat when dining at North & Navy. Always consistent and exceeds my expectation. A true gem in Ottawa!

We had four courses. All were excellent as was the service except for our main. The main dishes were delivered very hastily (almost dumped in front of us) and not by our waitress. No explanation of the dish was provided as was done for the other dishes. Also, they were warm to cold (meat and fish was warm and the rest, cold). My halibut only tasted of salt as did my wife’s beef. Unfortunate because the other courses were excellent and the waitress’s service was perfect.

Ambience enveloping and not loud although we were there at opening for dinner. Server was engaged and helpful with recommending choices. Carefully prepared food portions might be on the smaller side but all the flavours give you little thrills when you first try them so there’s no complaints. I liked having the fresh, crusty, bread to mop up all the sauces, and by completion of a shared dessert, I was satisfied. Lovely meal. I will be back.

This is my 3rd timeto North and Navy and they never disappoint! We had six plates to share between three of us and I couldn’t even pick out a favourite they were all so good and different. If I had to complain about somethingit would be the noise level but that may have just been the people around us as the other two time I don’t recall it being overly loud.
