Aperitivo - Kanata

This is our favourite restaurant in Kanata and I would say the quality of the food rivals any restaurant in Ottawa. The menu is creative and the food is excellent! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. Aperitivo has a lovely ambience. The servers are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the food, the wines and recommendations for pairings. There isn't a bad seat in the house. It the tables are full it is always fun to sit at the bar. We have been several times since discovering it, most recently this past Saturday.

The attention to detail in all areas is excellent. Food is beautiful, the customer service and knowledge of the staff is most enjoyable, and little things (that maybe only a former chef/waitress/bartender would notice) like spot free cutlery, generous sized cloth napkins, and plates large enough to hold the portions are always appreciated. Of exceptional note I have an food allergy and it seemed all the servers and the chefs knew about it before too long (not in an embarrassing way but in a good way). Love the Pear martini!!! Pigs cheeks and fish tacos were perfect.

As always, the gluten free food is simply amazing, the service is top notch, the wine selection is excellent. It's our Go To place to eat a fine dining meal at much lower than fine dining prices! Believe us we are bonafide foodies :

Ask for opinions of the menu, they are not only valuable they have great insights to share.

My 4th time here. First for lunch. Overall good, not great. Food great. Wine could be better. Had 3 dishes very spaced. V good salad and roast squash
