Zolas Restaurant

Great food. Slow service.

It's unfortunate that the young manager on Sunday evening did not appreciate the fact that my friend and I drove all the way from Orleans to pick up 4 lasagnas with a coupon 'two for one'; but the problem my friend forgot the coupon at home while I had mine. He, the young manager, would not honour the 2 for 1 for our second order, for some accounting reasons, yet the coupon did not have a scan bar to register the sale as a special price.Never again will I travel this distance to try a lasagna from them. It's a shame. Not like he was busy that evening anyways. So they lose out on a $40 sale and of course I'm without lasagna. Awful situation. Maybe the owner can explain it to him that the coupon was just a piece of paper, with no purpose at all for the cash register. In fact I should be able to use the coupon again, causing no harm but more visits to the place. Thank you for listening.

Delicious and tender veal chop lunch special. Service was friendly too.

Great food and service, We always the environment and service. Food is excellent and the service is wonderful.

My wife and I tried this restaurant because of the Entertainment App, an app I think is a fantastic way to find wonderful deals and some new restaurants to try out. We were both very happy to try Zolas as we enjoyed our dinner immensely. The live entertainment was excellent too, but I think I'm more excited to have learned they have an amazing breakfast menu too, which I'm looking forward to trying.

This quaint little Italian restaurant offers an amazing taste of Italy. The food is 5 star and the service is not too fast and not too slow, but just right with the perfect dash of friendliness. I have been several times and each time, it is just as good as the last., it keeps me coming back. It is a must go to place, if you love fabulous Italian food.

Tasty food, occasional live music, and good service. A little more pricey than average, but well worth it.

I've eaten here a handful of times for special occasions over the years. Great atmosphere, delicious meals. What impressed me lately was how understanding and responsive the staff were: once, we unwittingly booked a reservation during a live band evening. Unfortunately for my grandmother, the volume was overpowering. Once we told a server, Zolas found a solution with the band faster than anything I hoped for. We were very pleased; we enjoyed the live jazz as well as our dinner conversation.Zola's is great for brunch and dinner. The elegant seating area has a mostly unobstructed view of the chefs, which is exciting for younger guests. There is a step up at the front door which poses a problem for accessibility. However, the rest of the floorplan can be navigated by a person with a mobility aid (such as a walker).

First time at Zola's restaurant!! Very welcoming place, great food.. Everything is home made, just great!! I also enjoy the music!! I will come back!!❤😘

Lovely experience for brunch at Zolas. The team was welcoming the instant we arrived. Service was kind, prompt, and swift. The eggs benedict tasted great and the hollandaise was perfectly blended and bright tasting. The san marzano and eggs was unique and tasted fantastic. Highly recommend brunching at Zolas!

Great restaurant with home cooked Italian food. I would definitely recommend.

Epic brunch with the family! Wide selection, lovely atmosphere, tempting "to go" fresh items at the door. Pleasant staff. The only -1☆ was a bungle up on a gluten-free order. They fixed it promptly but the one factor that lead us to choose this restaurant in the first place was the one thing that went wrong. Over all, would recommend and would return.

Well, it was a bit different of an experience eating here. The live entertainment was good, the food was pretty good, but the service needed work. We had eaten our appetizers before they even took our dinner orders. The bill came and we waited...and waited to be able to pay. Not angering of an experience but a bit disappointed. The pricing of the meals far out pace the experience.

What a brunch! We got a mix of everything and Zola’s packs a tonne of flavour. First, I’ve never heard of San Marzano eggs but it was great with some heat and runny delicious poached eggs. The ciabatta French toast with pecans was a hit and their breakfast poutine was on point. We will definitely be returning for the awesome food service and atmosphere.

Had great fettuccine Alfredo for lunch, and of course those amazing buns that you can buy by the half or full dozen. Very quick and attentive service.

I cannot say enough good things about this place- from the service to the food (I mean how can you go go wrong with house made pasta) to the overall experience- I will definitely be back! It is hard to find restaurants that still make things from scratch these days- Zolas does and the difference in quality is obvious. Can't wait to come back for brunch next time!

Excellent food and great service.

Really good service and friendly staff. Food is good and there are pretty decent gluten free options. They don't always have the gluten free ciabatta which is a Shane because it's delicious!

The "paella pasta" was literally pasta with sauce with ONE shrimp ONE scallop. You should remove the name "paella" to the Menu. Very disappointed

Great food! Great atmosphere! Staff very friendly!

Fodder and service- both great!

We went to Zola's with a large group from work for a special event. Staff were friendly, efficient, and accommodating. Nice atmoshphere and yummy food.

Love the food. Great to bring people witj dietary needs also

Visiting my gluten free cousin in Ottawa, he brought us here because he loves their GF options. Good for them! I loved the basil pasta and the desserts. Good service.

Very small portions for the price (a side of brussel sprouts was 2 brussel sprouts cut in half). Manager said she “didn’t know what to tell me” since the portions they make are “large”.

Called early September to give a heads up that 20 of us would be coming in on the 22 for a breakfast meeting. 2 tables of 10 great. First table gave their orders and then the second, second table was served first and almost finished before the other table was served. Nobody was served a HOT meal. Never going back, not just me ALL of us. We had done this before but never had such BAD service or FOOD. Had to ask 3 times for a cup of TEA!!!!

I've eaten here before and like last time I was absolutely delighted with my dinner. A menu with lots of diversity. The dining atmosphere is cozy. One menu item that has been there for years is their blackened salmon with mango chutney. If you like salmon you will go crazy over this one! If you have a gluten allergy this would be a good place to go for dinner.

Very polite staff, cozy atmosphere good for family and seniors.Went in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised.The coffee and prices are good.

Lovely Place with good food and a Guitar singer. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely friendly family restaurant catering for all tastes(including gluten free) and birthdays!!!!

Delicious food and beautiful Artwork from locals; they switch it up from: West Carleton Arts Society

Very good pasta. Attentive service. Comfortable atmosphere.

Visited for breakfast with a group of co-workers. Ample servings of good food, a bottomless cup of coffee, cheerful staff and quick service. A very pleasant way to start the day.

Great Easter dinner! Just the right sized portions and easily reheated for a perfect meal for two. Almost as good as being there in person. Looking forward to your post-Corona reopening.

Tuesday May 5 2020 Review from Karen McDonald. My compliments to today's chef.The Vegetarian pizza with ham.was the best yet. Nice pieces of vegetables, a touch of ham, hint of spices and ample mozzarella. I'll be back!

An expensive eastside Marios with dry bread.

Amazing food, amazing service ! Very clean environment! Definitely coming back for more !

Breakfast was good. Loved coffee :)

Very high quality options served with a smile! Their breakfast is incredible! Highly recommended.

Great ambiance, service and food. Take out also available.

We ordered a pick up catered dinner for 8. The food was delicious. My only concern was the portion sizes were very small. If you are serving adults, don't count on feeding more than 6.

Prices to high for the volume of food given. The menu's font size made it hard to read. Food tasted good.

Great place with delicious food and warm welcoming staff.

Excellent food, fresh made pasta, great service. You can bring your own wine Sunday through Thursday.

Order the Penne and spicy napolitana tomato sauce, taste wasnt good, parts of the noodles were hard, the spicy was non existent. Much better quality Italian food for less elsewhere, meal was $20.00 I believe nothing else with it. Free bread is nice atmosphere was clean staff were super friendly!

The food was hearty and delicious. The prices were great and the ambiance is perfect.

My wife and I had a fantastic lunch today. For as long as I can remember, Zolas has served the best gourmet pizza in Ottawa and today didn't disappoint. There's something to be said for the quality of ingredients and the freshness of the food, when it's prepared by a great kitchen. The dough is simple, perfect in its texture and delicious. The sauce is freshly prepared and full of flavour and the cheese is so good - top quality Italian cheese (not waxy or greasy at all). We also had ceasar salads, which is a signature Zolas fave too. Don't get me started on the homemade dinner rolls. Anyway, Zolas is still a must try for anyone who hasn't. For old friends like us, the expanded menu is worth coming back for more since 1995. Thanks to Chef Tony for another tasty meal.

Another excellent meal. They never disappoint. Very attentive staff.

Majority of these ratings seem fake. Zola's has all the hallmarks of a restaurant that once was great, but is now bitter. Went there for a special occasion with my family. Wait staff was very rude, food took over an hour, was cold, and also not even correct. The bill was off as well. Overall a horrible experience.

Family-oriented Italian restaurant with delicious food, we tried the pasta and a Focaccia and both were wonderful. In a regular busy day, It was not crowded and the service was very nice. The decor might be a bit off but has a nice 90's style.
