Casa Balzano

Nadia and Franco were absolutely amazing to work with from the planning to the pool party. The communication prior to the event was great. On the day of the pool party, Nadia and Franco arrived early and were all prepped and ready to go. Franco impressive cooking skills and charming demeanour made the catering incredible. I was able to enjoy the pool party and all my guests were well fed and taken care of. I strongly recommend Casa Balzano and I will be hiring them again for my next event.

Franco and Nadia are amazing. This duo are the definition of compassion, professional and caring about what they do. Their food was amazing and between arrival and set up, serving and clean up I was more than impressed. This couple is humble and I can't thank them enough for the hard amazing work they put in! Definitely going with them again.

Very cozy little place and a hidden gem! The authentic Italian chef is extremely friendly. I highly recommend if anyone visits this office complex. Parking: Free

Casa Balzano catered my baby shower event and it was an amazing success. He had catered a birthday party two years ago, so I called on him again for the shower. From the small sandwiches, delicious focaccia, cups of caprese salad with pesto, mini quiches, chocolate and lemon-filled cookies and a light a fluffy Italian cake, my guests raved about the taste of the food. Franco went out of his way to ensure freshness and quality and gave me more than I expected! I highly recommend him; he won’t disappoint you!

Bought a special order Christmas Panettone from here, it was AMAZING! so tasty and fresh and it was beautifully packaged. The cannoli were especially delicious. You can really tell it was made with care and with attention to detail. We also gave one as a gift and the recipients were so impressed by the quality and taste, and packaging it came in! Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Delicious! After my 2 year old son’s dentist appt in the building we stopped here to grab some lunch to go. The food was fresh and delicious and the pastries too. The man at the cash was so kind, he let my son take an extra pastry to try and it was actually the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten! So friendly and so helpful. Will be back every time! Highly recommended

Amazing pastry chef ! Every time we visit the building we stop for the delightful deserts, artfully handmade and delicious! Tarts, eclairs, macaroons to rival any French bakery… all that melt in your mouth! We really need to remember this place and stop in more often.

A delicious take home birthday dinner for my husband. I was looking for some local fresh Italian food to take out. I came across Casa Bolzano. They had great reviews for Cannoli's and other food. After speaking with Chef Franco, he made spinach and ricotta canelloni and tastey chicken with mixed vegetables! Everything fresh and delicious. Thank you Chef Franco. Your hidden little gem should be in the spotlight!

I discovered this gem about a month ago when my son had a dental appt in the same building. Cute little shop, very friendly staff. Everything smells fresh and delicious. If you are a canoli lover, they have the best ones. Trust me. We also had the lemon and cocoa cookies and OMG! Can't wait to go back and try other delices. It's a little piece of Italy in Ottawa. We highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.

Tucked away in a professional building on Carling Avenue, this little cafë boasts simple and delicious food. The owner creates everything, is engaging and knowledgeable. Prices are quite modest for the quality offered. His coffees, pastas, and tiramisu are first-rate. Worth finding and enjoying.
