" What a gem of a bakery! The range of products is astounding; from various salamis to fresh ricottas. Each product just screams authenticity. I had the seasonal gelato, which was incredibly creamy, and the staff recommended a cheese I hadn't tried, which was fantastic! I wish there was more seating inside, as it can get quite busy, but the outdoor area is lovely too. This place is worth a visit every time I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Ottavio’s! The bakery is filled with a delightful aroma of fresh pastries. I had the most amazing almond and pear torte and a delicious chai latte. The flavors were rich, and everything tasted authentic – like I was in an Italian kitchen. The décor is homey, and the staff are very welcoming which adds to the overall charm of the café. Will definitely return for coffee and more pastries! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a regular at Ottavio’s and let me tell you, their sandwiches are the best in town! I usually stick to their vegetarian options, which are packed full of flavor and fresh ingredients. The combination of cheeses and vegetables makes every bite delightful. The only complaint I have is that the place gets packed, and sometimes finding a table can be a hassle. Still, it’s worth the wait for their perfect paninis! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ottavio is definitely one of my favorite spots to grab a bite! The selection of Italian cheeses and meats is fantastic and I love the fresh baked goods available every morning. I had a chocolate pastry with my latte today and it was divine. The only downside was that the service was a little slow due to the weekend crowd, but the staff remained friendly and attentive. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible spot in Oak Bay! I had the pleasure of visiting Ottavio recently, and it didn't disappoint! The variety is phenomenal, including artisan breads and cheeses that are so fresh. The staff were eager to provide recommendations, and it felt genuinely Italian in both taste and ambiance! I highly recommend this café! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely afternoon stopping by Ottavio. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. I grabbed a slice of focaccia and a latte. The focaccia was baked to perfection, fluffy and flavorful, but the coffee was a bit cool for my liking. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy some tasty snacks. I'm sure I will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely fell in love with this café! The setting, the staff, and of course, the flavors! I enjoyed a gorgeous gelato cone on the patio while soaking in the ambiance. The gelato was smooth and refreshing, and I can't get over how welcoming the staff is. I'll be back soon for another round of treats! " (*Curated Review*)
