Our Story

North & Navy is a northern Italian kitchen inspired by the bacari of Venice. On practically every calle, salizada and ruga in Venice, you'll find a Bacaro – a casual place to grab a glass of wine or Prosecco and a bite to eat, known as “cichèti.” Bacari are Italy's answer to the pub, and cichèti are the Italian answer to Spanish tapas. Italians have an answer for everything. Our Bacaro upholds the Italian tradition of togetherness. It's the perfect place to meet friends after work, or to share a casual glass of sparkling wine and a small bite to eat.

Went to North & Navy to celebrate a birthday & had a great evening. Amanda was very friendly & went over the menu with us with her recommendations. She also helped us select wines based on our preferences. The food was very delicious & flavorful, portions were reasonable & sharing (which was recommended) was a great idea. I would definitely go back to experience more of the food choices.

If you know about NONA you are probably reading this to see if there's anyone pretentious enough to say it's overrated or not worth of top marks...

We went after going to italy hunting for some of the rarer pastas that I had even seen on NONA's website but missed due to roataion. In that time we also heard more than a few people say they are overrated - well, as with a lot of places, I'm going to say this is about the clients & who they are more than the restaurant.

Like any high end dining spot in Ottawa they have "safe" options like venison that are expensive & naturally not as interesting... Usually when I see bad feedback about NONA its over those sorts of menu items. But what did you expect? Try something interesting, you are paying $$$ for it.

So if you DO try something interesting, especially the season pasta menu, you will be impressed. We went & just ordered every pasta dish until we ran out of options. Try the pasta medallions when they are "in season" you don't see that stuff often.

As a hangout venue I will say the cocktails have really interesting flavours so & it's awesome decor wise. So if you are looking to spend real money without booking a year in advance for dining in downtown Ottawa, this is one of the better options.

One of the best restaurants in Ottawa. Not quite a hidden gem as the word has been getting out so book ahead. Fine dining without being too fancy. Go in with high expectations & you won’t be disappointed.

Friendly efficient service. Presentation is impeccable for the food. Got the vitello appetizer, the duck main, & the Tiramisu. All were fantastic especially the vitello & tiramisu.

The cocktails were good but could be better. There's only four signature ones, & two of them seem more Mexican than Italian using Mezcal & Tequila. Also less effort into presentation than the food. Nice space & decor.View more

Chaque année, ma copine & moi choisissons North & Navy pour célébrer notre anniversaire, & nous n'avons que des compliments à faire.

Le service est remarquable. Les serveuses sont extrêmement bien informées sur le menu & sont capables de guider nos choix avec charme & professionnalisme.

En ce qui concerne la cuisine, il est impossible de ne pas saluer le travail méticuleux & l'attention portée aux détails par les chefs. Chaque plat surprend par sa subtilité, sa précision & sa créativité, ce qui nourrit vraiment des conversations intéressantes entre les couples.

En résumé, nous recommandons vivement cet établissement !View more
