What Destinee Krajcik likes about Il Primo Ristorante:
This small restaurant serves up fantastic Italian dishes! Given how busy the small restaurant was and their limited staff (of 3), service was friendly and efficient. The gnocchi, fettuccine and fish special (pan seared trout topped with maple glazed bacon) was simply delicious. I would highly recommend a visit when you're in Ottawa! View all feedback. What Kianna Abshire doesn't like about Il Primo Ristorante:
I had the Carbonara Primo and my friend had the Penne Anita. Both dishes contained overcooked, dry chicken. Portions were small for the price. The waiter was friendly but ignored us for most of our stay, perhaps due to being the only front of house staff there that evening. We won't go back. View all feedback.
