Pizarro's Restaurant

Pizarro's Restaurant Pizarro's restaurant has been proudly serving authentic, home made Italian food to the Ottawa/Vanier region for 26 years. Hungry yet?

Co-owners, chefs and childhood best friends Pat and Frank are known for their consistency, passion, and commitment to customers. Some Pizarro's staples include their Pasta alla Casa options, with Manicotti, Cannelloni, and melt in your mouth Lasagna rolled and prepared fresh weekly. Other infamous options include: Zucchini Fritti, Pizza, Pollo (chicken) and Vitello (veal) dishes (which are cut and

prepared fresh by the order), and finally their house made Creme Caramel and Tiramisu. Part of Pizarro's charm is the ever present family affair that can be sensed within minutes of your arrival. This not only makes for a knowledgeable and pleasant experience, but genuine service from staff who care and love what they do. Staff include Sarah (wife to co-owner and chef Pat), Piero (Pats brother), Lino (childhood neighbours and best friends with Frank and Pat), and finally Abby, Hugo and Brandon (Children to Pat and Sarah, niece/nephews to Piero). Reservations are highly recommended as spots fill up fast.

It is with sincere sadness that we share the passing of long-time customer and friend of Pizarro's, Doug Angus. Doug was part of the Pizarro's family, and could be seen regularly sitting in one of his favorite tables, enjoying a chat about sports, politics and his passion of healthcare, with other patrons and staff. He will be truly missed.
