Ottawa Foodies

I came on by here for lunch on Wednesday and I was absolutely shocked in seeing them in full production mode. There must have been a dozen staff working on producing large amounts of pasta.

I heartely reccomend the fresh and frozen pasta from here, absolutely tasty.

Arguably the best meatball sandwich in the city.

Wow...try their sweet potato and curry pie from the freezer. So good...

They have fantastic pizza at the lunch counter which they sell off at the end of the day at reduced prices. Speaking of which they also sell off their "oven-ready meals" like Vegetarian and Meat Lazagna, Cannelone, and more for half price. Just look for the deep-frozen ones in the freezer, or ask. Of course I should not be giving away these secrets since the half-priced meals seem to be coming less-and-less available. They have a nice assortment of extremely yummy personal-sized cheesecakes, as well.

Parma Ravioli makes a really good meatball sub. Tasty, homemade sauce and nice big, soft meatballs which taste like they use a combination of ground meats (beef & pork?)—a must for my comfort food factor. The meatballs are left whole just like Momma used to make. The mozzarella doesn’t taste processed and the buns are the right style and are toasted in the oven. A bit pricey and huge, messy to eat but that’s ok! I had it with salad and a drink and it was about $9 or $10—there was enough food for 2 if I had had a companion with me.

I absolutely love the Parma Ravioli meatball sandwich. I have never had anything that comes close to this in my entire 36 years.

I have had the prescott sandwich and it might as well have been made by Chef Boy Ar Dee.

Their meatball s'wich is KING !!

The first time I had one I counted 12 small meatballs in it. "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" along with the tasty Caesar Salad. I then crawled to the couch !!

Holy smokes just today I was telling a good friend of mine that I have to get out to the Prescott for a meatball sandwich soon. He was telling me that his hockey team is having a big banquet there tomorrow.

Anyway, the meatball pizza from Parma Ravioli is incredible so I can only imagine their meatball sandwich must be as well! I never actually knew they even had such a sandwich - can't wait to try it now!

Picked up fresh spinach linguine, container of 4 cheeses Alfredo sauce and a portion of the eggplant parmesan. Delicious!

Had the Olive and Roast Red Pepper Mezzaluna recently along with my own rose/mushroom sauce. I usually use quality dried pastas like DiChecka (sic), but I think I may be hooked on Parma Ravioli's fresh stuff.

In the heart of Hintonburg this shop has been selling excellent home-style fresh pasta long enough that not many people can remember when they weren't there. Fresh deep-dish pastas like cannelloni, lasagne, ravioli and everything in between. Check the freezers for the frozen stuff that is sold at 2-to-1 - so extremely good bargain.

See my general comment under the restaurant - excellent pizza made daily and sold by the slice. Sold at half price at the end of the day if there is any left.

An excellent selection of home-style personal-sized cheesecakes, guaranteed to please even the most discerning palate.
