Aperitivo - Kanata

The love for detail in all areas is excellent. eating is nice, the customer service and knowing the staff is most pleasant, and small things (that perhaps only a former cook / waitress / barkeeper would notice) like spot free cutlery, generous size towel serviettes, and teller large enough to keep the portions are always appreciated. of exceptional note I have a food allergy and it seemed all server and the chefs knew about it too long ago (not in embarrassing wise, but in a good wise). loves the pear martini! pigs cheeks and fish tacos were perfect.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant for a perfect evening with friends or family. The food is fantastic, creative and will make you want to return. The care given by the staff is second to none. Love coming here.

We LOVE Apertivo! It is our very favourite restaurant. We love it so much that when we have a date night we hardly ever go anywhere else. Everything we have ever ordered is delicious and the service is amazing.

This is by far my favourite restaurant in Ottawa and possibly all of Ontario. I love food but have a restricted diet (gluten etc) and the Chef and staff are more than accommodating. The flavour of every dish is incredible. Thank you to the team at Aperitivo for never disappointing me in all three years I have been frequenting this restaurant. 10 star restaurant!!

A great spot for pre or after movie snack or larger meal. A small menu allows the chef to prepare freshly cooked food that does not take too long. An excellent list of wines by the glass adds to the experience. We loved sharing the small plates, especially the fish tacos and the ragu. The service is efficient and caring without being intrusive. If you want to linger, that's fine with them but if you need to make a movie start, that's no problem. The restaurant caters to gluten free diners discretely. As the room is quite small, it can fill up quickly so a reservation would be a good idea. A little more heat on cold days would be nice.
