Reviews for Vespa Wine Bar in Ottawa, ON
Great wine and pizza. Had the burrata salad and the Peach and Ricotta pizza. Both were good, but the spices of the burrata salad... were alittle over powering of the cheese, and the toppings of the pizza weren't quite to the crust. Service was excellent andproactive. The dining room is casual and smart. Really great space. Read more
Great food and attentive service. Enjoyed a magerita pizza and some wine. We had a nice table in the back. It was busy and a bit... crowded, but we still were able to hear ourselves. A bit on the high end for prices, but a fun atmosphere. Read more
Chose this place randomly for reuniting. Tried the Meg's recommendation item on their menu, the red wine called Frescobaldi... Tenuta - Blend Tuscany. It was as dry as I wanted and the taste was really desired. The ambience was awesome, enjoyed my belovedItalian music and the environment. A very nice, clean, classy and cozy place. However I wasn't in a classy style that night! Will definitely come again if I visit Ottawa in the future. Grazie Read more
Dinner was amazing. I shared 4 dishes with 3 friends. And we left perfectly stuffed. The bruschetta was tasty. The burrata was... out of this world. Pickled celery, who knew? Peach and ricotta pizza was excellent. The oreccheiette was great too. Owner waslovely and attentive. Great little spot in OOE. Read more
It's a lovely spot with a great wine selection, excellent pizza with interesting toppings (the dough/crust were almost flakey... pastry-like, so good!) and friendly service. A really nice atmosphere. When I called to make a reservation, they even asked mewhere specifically I wanted to sit. I will definitely be back! Read more
Lost our reservation but made up for it. Allan was very attentive and found a way to fit us in. Our pizzas were tasty / fresh.... The dessert lemoncello custard yummy. We will definitely eat here again. Allan should Be commended for his costumer service , heturned the reservation lost and an order forgotten into a wonderful evening . Read more

My wife and I called ahead in case of a requirement to make a reservation. We were told it wasnt required on this particular... evening but they did mention the kitchen was closing at 9pm. We arrived at 8:30ish and asked if the kitchen was still open,which they replied yes. Our main complaint of the wine bar was the inexperienced wait staff. For a wine bar, your serversshould have some real experience before serving guests. This location is in a great spot and it should be packed, but its not..I feel this is due to the lack of professional level wait staff. I would love to see this great spot take off. The food wasgood considering half the menu was not avaliable. I am not sure if this was due to lack of ingredients or lack of motivation bythe kitchen staff. We could also hear the cook blowing his nose quite loudly. We can only hope he washed his hands beforecontinuing to prepare food. I always want spots like this to do well I would go again to confirm my initial thoughts beforestriking this spot of our list. Read more
