Busy lunchtime that died down after 3pm and was able to enjoy a bday lunch. My first time here. Had…read moreheard a lot about it. It's been here on Bell's Corners a long time. Quick thoughts... the space is older but nice. Paper napkin type place. Brunch ends at 3pm and then there is another menu. Continental meets Italian style dining with a little Italian style Market upfront. Service was professional, kind but minimal. Ordered was a Caesar salad with a grilled salmon filet added. Very healthy. The dressing was more of a vinaigrette served with lemon wedge. I did not eat the croutons, thats just me. They were ok. Salmon was well seasoned but was missing something, spice or a citrus sauce. I ate it all, as is. Light, light lunch. I never finish a dish and I did! Rolls came with my meal..they were just ok. Took them home! Nothing goes to waste on my table!! My company had the mushroom sandwich on focaccia. It came with a salad. She really liked it. The house white wine was quite good. We wore our coats for much of the visit as unfortunately, it was very cold in there and most seats are against the large windows. Dessert was offered but nothing was done extra for the birthday and that's ok. But good to note. We liked the stain glass art that hung and that was for sale. We also liked that we were not rushed out of there as my company had come from quite aways and we chatted for a bit. Water glasses never refilled though. I could see the cooks making the fresh linguine in the back for dinner service. Yum! I also met the owner. He was cordial. It didn't blow me away here but I'd like to try a pizza and a pasta item one day. I would recommend to others. Good location with plenty of parking. If you see one day on line that they are booked up re seating, call and they will take your reso that way as they likely have space.

If I were a classically trained musician, I would write a symphony about this place…read more It would start with a leisurely playful melody, appropriate to the giddiness caused by starting your lunch with a classic martini. The notes would deepen as they served the homemade butternut squash soup. Velvety, rich and buttery. As the main course of veal scaloppine is served with a perfectly paired wine, a crescendo of pure joy proclaimed by a whole chorus would erupt! A-le-lu-jah! As the epiphany passes, the tones fade into a sweet conclusion, accompanied by homemade gelato and espresso. This is definitely a favourite on my playlist. But it should be stated, this kind of gourmet does come with the expected matching price tag. Make sure you find a wealthy companion who wants to treat you to something special.

Pasta Volare is a new, local business that runs out of a residence. I stopped my scroll when…read moremindlessly perusing Instagram because their fresh pasta just looked SO good. They change their menu weekly, every Sunday, which includes long pasta, short pasta, filled pasta, sauces, focaccia, and a meal kit with a mix of everything. This week's menu included: - Long pasta: Tagliatelle or pappardelle - Short pasta: Cavatelli or fusilli - Filled pasta: Scarpinocc di Taleggio e fungi (Taleggio cheese and mushroom) or tortellini quattro fromaggio (four cheese) - Sauces: Pomodoro (tomato based), Cornish hen ragu (tomato based), seasonal mushroom (cream based), Genovese pistachio pesto, or herb butter - Focaccia: Large or small - Tutti tipi di pasta: Kit including pappardelle, fusilli, scarpinocc, tortellini, seasonal mushroom sauce, Cornish hen rage, Genovese pistachio pesto, herb butter, and large focaccia The long and short pastas are 150 grams per portion and $7 each, the scarpinocc and tortelloni come in a pack of 12 and are $15 each, and each order of sauce is for two portions, varying prices between $5 and $15. The small focaccia is $5 and the large is $12. They take orders Sunday to Wednesday for Thursday to Saturday delivery or pickup. Pickup is free in Barrhaven after 3pm and delivery is $5 within a 10km radius from 3-5pm. They also advised that the fresh pasta is best enjoyed the day of order or the next day, and the filled pasta comes freshly frozen and can be kept up to two months in freezer. I have a real soft spot for fresh pasta, so knowing it was homemade locally and two types of pastas I had never tried before, and just being gluttonous and greedy ol' me, I ordered tagliatelle, cavatelli, scarpinocc, and tortelloni pastas, pomodoro, mushroom, pesto, and herb butter sauces, and a small focaccia. I basically customized my own kit and it came out to $89, a dollar cheaper than the tutti tipi di pasta one they had already put together. It was all just for me, not gonna lie. I ordered earlier in the week through a private message on their Instagram and they responded right away. They asked if I had any allergies, what my phone number was, and gave me the total price and e-mail address to send the e-transfer. I originally thought I would have it delivered since the charge was so cheap, but they sent me the address and I ended up picking it up instead. I picked it up and it came in two paper bags (with sweet thank you messages!), one for the cardboard boxes of pasta and the other for the plastic containers of sauces and the bread. There was also a little message on one of the bags to just put the pasta in the freezer and cook from frozen. It was super quick to pick up and I was really excited to get home. It was hard to decide which pasta to each for dinner tonight with which sauce, but I ended up going with the four cheese tortelloni and pesto. They also come with an instruction sheet on how to cook the pasta and incorporate the sauces, which I found very helpful. The tortelloni were made perfectly, just a little tangy, and not overly stuffed or heavy, perfect portion. The pistachio pesto was a touch bitter, also perfect and I licked the spoon multiple times before even mixing it with the pasta. I decided to try the focaccia just on its own and it was soft and moist with some salt. I warmed it up slightly in the toaster oven and used some of the herbed butter (which came in a huge, very generous portion). It was all exactly what I wanted, exactly what I expected, and so incredibly satisfying. Can't wait to try the other pastas and sauces (and finish all the focaccia)!

Food.. not a big selection but what I've bought has been good. Even frozen items…read more I like the chicken parm from the counter. People in and out.. in and out for the freshly made sandwiches. I guess that's the pro move. A couple of small tables if you wanted to eat in. The flippant, standoffish service is not for me but I still want to support them. A little gratitude for customers goes a long way with me. Lots of parking. Plaza.

Did someone say "sandwiches"? There's something about…read moreputting something between 2 pieces of bread. Especially when that something is made by someone who knows what ingredients go together to put a smile on your face. I had the opportunity to try such a sandwich at Pesto's. DELICATESSEN Roast Beef, with Dijon, onions, pickles, cheese, lettuce & Italian dressing. As I ate it, and made yummy sounds, the thought that passed through my mind was "if only this was warmed up". I now see that this is an option, but you gotta ask. Note to self, as I plan my next visit........................ Maybe the grilled chicken? Or maybe "build your own"?

Update 2017-12-01: The place has been renovated and is much nicer and less casual now. No more paper placemats!
