A modern Italian trattoria in the heart of Ottawa
A lively Italian table, from lunch to late evening
Rooted in the convivial spirit of Italian trattorias, Carletto brings a warm, modern and urban dining experience to downtown Ottawa.
Here, the bar is at the heart of the room. Guests come for cocktails, business lunches, shared pizzas, house-made pastas and dinners that naturally stretch into the evening. Everything is prepared in-house, with a focus on detail, consistency and genuine hospitality.
Balancing the energy of a neighbourhood favourite with the execution of a leading hospitality group, Carletto is designed as an all-day Italian destination. Approachable, animated and refined.
Backed by a team known for hospitality
Carletto is brought to life by the team behind some of Ottawa’s and Montreal’s most celebrated restaurants, including Cocotte Bistro, as well as Jacopo and BEVO in Old Montreal.
The restaurant’s culinary vision is led by Executive Chef Simon Brière, known for his work at Cocotte Bistro. His approach focuses on quality ingredients, refined technique and generous dishes designed for sharing.
From the dining experience to every detail on the menu, Carletto brings together the expertise of a leading hospitality team in a modern, warm and energetic trattoria.
Group dining, the Italian way
For team dinners, birthdays, corporate gatherings or long tables with friends, Carletto offers a lively, warm and flexible setting in downtown Ottawa.
With 120 indoor seats, a 25-seat terrace and a central bar that sets the tone, the space works beautifully for both casual gatherings and more planned occasions. Shareable menus, generous dishes, oven-fired pizzas, house-made pastas and attentive service make the experience easy to plan and enjoyable from start to finish.
