" My family and I have tried Pizarro's a couple of times now, and each visit has been delightful! Their commitment to authentic Italian cuisine shines through in their delectable dishes. The kids loved the pizza, while I thoroughly enjoyed the linguini and clams. The atmosphere is relaxed yet picturesque, providing a perfect ambiance for family gatherings. Service could sometimes be slower on busier nights, but the quality of food makes it worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Pizarro's for dinner and couldn’t have been more pleased with the selection of authentic Italian meals offered. Everything was superbly seasoned, but I think they could work on improving their portion sizes. I ordered a risotto, which was delightful but left me wanting more. Service was pleasant and efficient, and the atmosphere fell somewhere between casual and upscale, making it a versatile spot for many occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Pizarro's this past Sunday was mostly delightful. The garlic bread they serve as an appetizer is to die for! I had the chicken alfredo and while it was creamy and good, I thought the dish was a bit overpriced for the portion size. The service was friendly, not overly pushy, which I appreciated. A cozy little neighborhood spot, I do think they could improve on the portion sizes to match the prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Pizarro's and it was a wonderful experience! The homemade pasta was incredible, and you could taste the authenticity in every bite. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel at home. I highly recommend their ravioli stuffed with spinach, it was a delight! The ambiance was cozy, though it could get busy, so I suggest making a reservation. Overall, a fabulous dining option in Ottawa! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pizarro's has become one of my go-to spots for Italian cravings! The pizza is stellar, especially if you enjoy a thin crust that's crispy yet soft. Their margherita pizza was topped with fresh basil and a great sauce that reminded me of my trips to Italy. The ambiance feels slightly vintage but cozy, making it perfect for casual dinners. The service is generally friendly, but it can take a while during peak hours. Still, the delicious food keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After my visit to Pizarro's, I genuinely felt transported to Italy. The ambiance sets the perfect backdrop for a delicious dining experience. The savory rich marinara sauce on my pasta was simply delightful, but I did find the prices to be a tad high for the portion sizes. While the service was friendly and accommodating, I’d love to see them offer more dishes that showcase their authenticity. That being said, I would definitely return to sample more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pizarro's is a cozy Italian spot that has been a neighborhood favorite for years. Their traditional dishes are well-executed, especially the gnocchi, which I found delightful. While the pasta was fresh and flavorful, I felt the portion sizes could be more generous for the price. The service was warm and welcoming, giving the place a family-like feel. I will definitely come back, especially for those homemade desserts! " (*Curated Review*)
