When we ordered we never expected for the portions to be so large. I am not complaining, it's was quite pleasant. Everything we ate was fresh and most of it tasted homemade. The food had love in it. Is there anything else to say with that? The pizza was tasteful every bite you took. My son had the spaghetti and I had to try it. It was great. Plenty of flavor but my favorite part was them meatballs. Not to dense, cooked great, and the flavor was there. The cheese bread doesn't even need sauce but it makes it even better. Thanks for the love you all show here.

The woman working the counter was not the nicest upon originally checking in (I was too early for the pizza and she made that clear to me), but the food made up for the dry attitude.

We visited Ristorante Ottaviani shortly after Christmas, and it was such a cozy, memorable…read moreexperience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the mood perfectly--dim lighting, warm and inviting, with Sinatra Christmas tunes playing softly in the background. It felt charming and intimate, especially welcome given the extremely cold temperatures outside. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us regularly without ever feeling intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and did a great job warming us up, which was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was rich and flavorful, with a standout Gorgonzola sauce that was truly delicious. The creamy burrata with pesto and balsamic was perfectly balanced, and the scallops were easily some of the most delicious we've had--cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Ristorante Ottaviani is such a comfortable, charming place to enjoy high-quality Italian food. A wonderful spot for a relaxing, special meal, and we're already looking forward to going back.

Delightful dinner tonight! One that took us back to Italy!…read more We drive down this way often, and lately pit of the corner of my eye, I've seen couples sharing meals in a nice hole in the wall restaurant. Today, I finally decided we had to try it out. So so glad we did because we were really impressed. The price is right, the portions are plentiful, and the quality was great. We started with some wine and Italian beer! We had the exact same brand in Venice. We ordered the mussel appetizer and it paired delightfully with my Sauvignon blanc. Our entrees were perfect. The vodka pasta was gone almost as fast as it hit the table and my husband loved his pizza. He asked for the burrata on top, just like we had it in Rome. The dessert was delish and the affogato was splendid! I cannot wait to return!

The fresh pasta is phenomenal and coupled with the crispy bread it was just fantastic. My girlfriend had the fettuccini in mushroom cream sauce and I tried it and found that dish so flavorful I wanted to eat her dinner too. We stumbled on this place rolling in late and were treated like family. This one is a must visit in Front Royal.

Incredibly nice and hospitable and provided excellent service. The inside is cute and quaint and you can tell this restaurant was a dream! The inside is small but gives a more intimate feel. The food was not great. The place has amazing reviews, so maybe we stumbled on the wrong food. They don't have a kids menu but have basic pastas for kids. We got ours a spaghetti and meatballs which was a large portion. The sauce tasted can like. I had the shrimp pesto. The sauce was more liquid than a thick creamy pesto, which I normally don't mind. The gnocchi was good but the sauce was heavily seasoned and not super delicious. The shrimp was a large portion and okay. My boyfriend had the lobster risotto. The actually risotto was good but the lobster was tough and overcooked. I only saw pasta selections and not a lot of appetizers. We had the fried Brie cheese which was pretty good. I really enjoyed the bread but had to ask for olive oil. They have a house made eggplant that I didn't care for. The prices were outrageous. Our dinner cost $150 with no alcohol. Overall would not come back, which makes me sad for the business :(

The seating area is smallish and not fancy, but everything is clean and well cared for. We will be back to try other things here!

The chicken wasn't to hubby's taste and they replaced it within seconds and brought out the spaghetti and meatballs, which was very good. The tomato sauce on both dishes really makes the dish.

For $20, I got my wonderful eggplant, bread, garlic bread, salad (that had actual vegetables on it,) and doughnuts. Amazing. We will be back.

I don't know if it was the day (the day before Thanksgiving) or if the place is just that popular but it was pretty busy. The restaurant is in a converted home, so there are all these little rooms. We were seated in a "front" room with the bar space behind us. The dining room was tight and full of people but warm and welcoming and didn't feel too crunched. Our server seemed a little flustered. She was busy but was attentive. I had the chicken parm sandwich, my son had the chicken parm entree. The chicken was pounded evenly and not too thin, breaded and crunchy. The red sauce was a little sweeter than my tastes prefer but it was enjoyable, on good bread and I demolished it. The kid's pasta was a little softer than I usually make it. Overall, it was a good experience. Their location makes it likely that we'll stop here again.
