REVIEWS OF Ottavio Italian Bakery & Delicatessen Cafe IN Oak Bay

Super quaint and trendy bakery and coffee shop located on the corner of Oak Bay and Monterey Ave. The coffee is good, but the cappuccino comes in just one size - so great to pop in for a quick catch-up, but oriented towards opening you laptop for an hour. The bakery is great! They offer classic and Italian specialties and everything is tasty! I wish they had more and easier accessible parking, but there are usually spots along Monterey, and it's only a quick walk to the bakery. A heads-up that the front entrance has stairs. A little gem in Oak Bay!

Great food

Maia Ludwig-Ives

Gelato was not as good as I remember it being and the brioche was ok, but they have excellent selection of preserves and other imported Italian treats.

Rhea Royality

Mmmmmm

Marcus Magdalena

Ask for Genevieve. Ask for the cheese and olive oil tour. I promise you, it will be worth every second. Genevieve is a poet, a lover and Sovereign soul, the heart of the place.

Terry Fines

Awesome panini! Great lattes!

Ottavio offers one of the best cups of coffee in Victoria! Here, you can also find on-site baked goods, homemade Gelato, meals, and a wide selection of cheeses, antipasto, and gourmet foods. The outdoor seating is available year-round.

Great pastries and coffee, beautifully decorated in an Italian style. Plenty of patio seating for the nice weather.

Catherine McDonald

The food is impeccable and inspirational. Their soups are amazing. The decor is wonderful. Staff is accommodating. Seating in the cafe is limited, though, and we often share tabes with others. But that is part of the charm. Get their early if you want to have their pasta special.

Celine Yan

Their sandwiches are pretty good! The soup was interesting too! Tried some of their pastries and one chocolate pastry and apricot leaf was really good! The mocha tart didn’t have much coffee taste, but it was good. Gonna try more of their stuff in the future!

(Translated) We have imported items from Italy. The atmosphere is good. Gelato and cheese are delicious. (Original) イタリアからのインポート物を揃えています。雰囲気もよし。ジェラートもチーズもおいしい。

Des Albert

Good coffee and Italian food

HJ L

I enjoyed a lot in this place. I ordered decaf cappuccino & antipasto. Coffee was incredibly rich and soft, antipasto plate was enough to enjoy the cheese and ham. Also I bought Rosmary Focaccia & some cheese, My roommate satisfied for cheese a lot.

Ron Dempsey

I want to like it more, but every time I go I can't tell if they want to be traditional or West coast versions of an Italian deli.

Bruce Ruddell

The best bakery and service in the city

George Fountain

Great service and food. I will be back

Adrian Nyland

I love this place but wow it needs a number system badly. It seems like pandemonium every time we come here. No real organization and the staff give different instructions to different people. It’s infuriating. The fix is so simple and would give everyone such a better experience. Great meats. Amazing cheeses!

John Gannon

thecoolguy4224

Very highly recommended for coffee and pastries

Justin Barcellos

Such a cute place for coffee and snacks. A few tables inside and outside, we had to wait a moment but got a table fairly quickly. The coffee is so good I would get it to go if I had to. Definitely coming back.

Neill Cox

Lovely food and a great range of cold meats and cheeses.

Lyle Ellard Brian Jones

Food was very good but it was so busy getting service was difficult to achieve.

birgit destroyerofwindshields

I used to love Ottavio's until today, when I tried to return a package of Italian coffee. Ottavio's price: $29.95; a day later, same product on sale at London Drugs: $14.99. Manager said they couldn't match large-store prices and it was a food item (vacuum-packed and intact). While I like to support local establishments and expect to pay a premium for the privilege, this is over the top. Some sort of concession on the part of the manager could have made me feel better but that wasn't happening. I guess my purchase of $300 the day before wasn't worth keeping me as a customer.

Doug Blackie

Excellent in every way. Amazing Illy coffee!!

Eric Staal

I reeled at the price of the latte I ordered but it was the best coffee I’ve had since I left Australia, so as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Great selection of higher end grocery items in the deli too. I’ll be back for sure.

Aidan Knight

I don't shop here every week, but the fresh bread is so good and the cheese counter is one of the best in the city. They always have great gorgonzola, tomme, and chevre in stock.

Colleen Youngblut

Always great food and so many interesting things. Highly recommend for locals or visitors to Oak bay.

Anne Calder

Giulio Mari

Ottavio has some of the best imported European foods. The menu has many delicacies from the Old Country. Great pastries and breads. Great variety of olives and olive oils from the sunny places of the world.

Eric Prothero-Brooks

Great coffee. Great sandwiches and paninis. Lots of baked goods. Nice bakery/deli as well as groceries. Lovely outside patio to eat at as well!

Katie Pretty

Lisa Ricci

Gen and Christina are the greatest. They take care of this place like it’s their own and it shows. Will be back to visit soon, miss you ladies!

Ron Hammond

I go here for just 00 flour. THey always have it in stock, and I always eat the best pizza that night. Keep that stuff in stock and I'll be there for every pizza night I do :)

Michael Rensing

Excellent deli with a huge selection of meats and cheeses.

I was disappointed that I could not get a cold sandwich made during coved-19 nor would they accommodate me making a panini without cheese as I have a dairy allergy.

Bill Crowder

I would like to live here. Really. Bread. Cheese. Meat.

Ottavio is the real deal in my books. Their pastries are amazing. The cheese and meat selection is well curated. Luke, the cheesemonger is knowledgeable and patient! The baristas are friendly and offer hasty service. I highly recommend a visit here!

Great quality and variety!! Of course delicious ! But to go or eat it there with coffee!

Gregory Thomas

Daniel Roden Clark

They carry every Italian ingredient under the sun. Quite expensive which almost goes with out saying but worth it if you only need one or two special ingredients.

Anne Grindl

What an absolute gem! The service was so great and I can't come back fast enough!

Gabriele Milione

Very cool place full of Italian items straight from Italy.They even have an amazing deli and bakery that you can buy pasta, sauces and fresh breads. The latte, panini and fiorentine that I tried were just delicious!

Kal M

Excellent. One of the best Italian places to have brunch at. Tried the sandwiches and gelato, everything excellent. It's hard to find a seat sometimes but that's a good sign.

Christopher Terrio

Good food...Mean manager. Obviously an unhappy person and takes it out on others..mainly the staff from what I've witnessed and my personal dealings where terrible.

100% recommend going on a lunch date here! Great sandwiches, lovely environment, delicious deserts and fabulous deli! I love Ottavio's!❤️

Rick Dowdall

Fine coffee on the balcony. Treats too tempting!

Gail Lederhouse

The take home selection of meats, cheeses, oils, etc is excellent but the prepared food is disappointing. For example, I ordered a mini pizza and it was heated in a microwave until dry and solid as a plate. The cookies i tried were very dry and lacking freshness. Disappointing waste of money.

PETE Heyducky

(Translated) Good bread above all, which has rarity value. (Original) Gutes Brot vor allem ,was Seltenheitswert hat.

Leila Andraos

Way too expensive

Great little gelato break spot

Mike Shepherd

I usually deliver to Ottavio, but last week I walked through their front doors and waited in a packed store, boy I tell you, nobody there had any issues of claustrophobia, cause there were lots. I waited my turn patiently to ask them to hang a small pamphlet bringing awareness to a fundraiser for Kids with Cancer. They agreed

Lorrena Braybrooks

The best lemon currant scones and Primavera Paninis!

Georges Lagasse

5 stars for outstanding service. I'm from Toronto and my mother lives a few doors down from Octavio. It was her birthday yesterday and I knew Ottavio was part of her daily ritual. I called and ask if it was possible to surprise my mother with a 'treat' and we agreed on a dozen cookies. I received an email from Mom today to tell me that not only was it a nice surprise to receive the cookies when she got there but the staff getting together to wish her a happy birthday made her feel extra special. Nice touch and thank you!!!

Kendra Martin

Great selection of baked daily goods.

Paolo Raposo

So much variety, great value and ambiance

Great pasties and deli, good coffee and a nice outdoor eating area.

Matthew Casiro

Love this gem. Great paninis, gelato, baked goods, cheeses, and meats. Beautiful outside tables for nice days. Staff have always been very friendly and the specials menu changes often. Can get very busy so you may want to avoid peak times, especially on very nice days.

Aggie Chan

Love this place. Get all the authentic Italian fixes here. Especially love their bakery section.

I enjoy the atmosphere and food of this fabulous family run eatery and deli. As an Italian I appreciate the authenticity of the food and culture. A favorite!

Randal Dashwood

Jennifer Whitfield

Amazing cheese selection. Best in Victoria, in fact, better then anywhere in my humble travellers opinion. I am especially fond of the fact they fly in Buffala for us. Excellent staff too. Best baker in Canada. I am obviously a fan, these things matter!

Madel Hayward

Omg, this place, don't get me started. I never knew what gelato was until an angel whispered, "Octavio" in my little ear. Put Italian and bakery together and you've mostly always have a win, but Ottavio raises these two together to inspire love on your tastebuds. Nothing disappoints, everything is divine.

Very nice experience. My first time being in Ottavio. We decided on a late lunch. Had the Espana and a London fog and shared a pacifica salad. My husband had a cold panini (forgot the kind he ordered) all was delicious and service was quick and very friendly. We took a few deserts home. Needless to say I am in love with the lavender shortbread cookies hope they are a regular as I will be back for more.

Randy Blyth

Ward Balcaen

Kathy Brown

Excellent food

Garry LaRose

Ordered the baked pasta special, $12.00 and was expecting a baked pasta. Instead received a bowl of bland sloppy pasta soup. Tasted like an overly floury cream sauce with a couple bits of onion. Very, very bland and the portion was tiny. It's a shame to think that the business charges so much for so little and still won't pay their staff a living wage and relies on the customer to supplement their staffs wages with tips. Left feeling disappointed and hungry.

Shawn Em

Friendly service, great food, and tasty treats! Worth the trip to oak bay.

Indoor and outdoor eating plus very good specialty cheeses and baked goods. Clean, well organized with a very helpful staff.

Jennifer Lloyd

Good place for a coffee and a treat. Lunch food is also very tasty; especially the paninies and the ever changing soup. All this and the added bonus that you can pick up some bread, cheese, pasta and many other delicious additions for a great dinner at the attached deli.

Kathy Fentiman

Cute little place. Great coffee and such a large selection of baked treats.

Bernardo Jon Quinzon

Panini was over toasted and was so hard. Too bad because it did taste good.

Jennifer M

The antipasto was delicious. The staff are wonderful. Patio is delightful on a sunny day.

Love the selection of meats, breads, cheeses. Amazing staff, paninis and the best chai latte I’ve ever had.

Rae H

Excellent pastries. The strawberry rhubarb galettes are sublime, the perfect blend of sweet, tart, and buttery. The croissants are also delicious. Hats off to the chef, and to the lovely staff who offered assistance.

William McGuigan

Earl Kollmar

Nice environment - tasteless food. The matzo ball soup was like water, the brie artichoke panini with pesto lacked any spice and void of flavour. Poor value.

James Lea

Interesting menu. Excellent cheese for sale retail.

Natalie Kelt

A wonderful bakery, cafe and deli. They are licensed too. I love a latte and pain au chocolate in the morning. Their gelato is the best in town. The bakery has some excellent foccacia too. Worth a trip for sure, especially if you get a spot on the patio. Wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Victoria Field

Primavera panini was very bland - a tomato would do wonders on it. Young girl at the till didn’t have great customer service skills. Cute patio space!

Will Sherman

Always good. Very expensive. Staff always rushing around - busy. Clean, very european.

Inna Polansky

Very nice place with tasty bakery and breads. Bit pricey though.

Andrew Mueller

This place is amazing, it's a European foodie wonderland. They serve amazing coffee and have great gelato selection . The staff is always cheerful and helpful no matter what you are looking for. The cheese selection can't be beat and their daily soups are the best I've ever had. Also word on the street is they've got the most talented bakers on this beautiful island.

Lorna Nelson

Absolutely great food

Tanya Crawford

Lily SO

Kevin Loo

Been a favourite of mine since I was a child. You cannot go wrong with spending an afternoon here.

ian montgomery

The Corn Chowder on the menu today was a tasteless clear broth with less than a dozen kernels of corn and undercooked chunks of potato topped with stale tortilla chips. The Deli /Bakery has a decent, albeit expensive, selection but the food service portion of Otavio is not worth stopping for.

Rob F

Ottavio is the go-to delicatessen in Victoria. It is excellent for both deli products and cafe/patisserie. A delicious range of fresh meats and cheeses are on offer. Service is always friendly and prices are reasonable. There’s also a lovely patio out front to sit at and enjoy your purchases. A million miles better than Bull & Sons on Fort St, where I’ve been sold products that were not fresh and received very rude service. Ottavios is where it’s at!

kls

Really 4 1/2 stars. One of the few places to find ricotta salatta in Victoria. Always leave with a few things I hadn’t intended to buy ????. Their breads are fantastic (go early) and all the varieties of olives, meats, cheese and specialty goodies to make your charcuterie platter sing! Service can be a bit chaotic, but Ottavio’s ever changing menu means there’s always something new to try and something for everyone! A great outdoor patio in warmer weather.

Lucille Rod

very good food

Missie Timmerman

Lovely pit stop during a seaside bike ride. The gelato and cappuccinos hit the spot. Pistachio gelato was so so but the mixed berry was memorable ????

Theodore Naim

Very good products but be careful pricing is all over the place. you can easily end up with 100$ basket for just a 3/4 cured meats.

Dawn Williams

Awesome cheese

Linus Derowitz

Best Coffee in town

Robin Ellis

Really good lunch. Freshly made sandwiches were great.

Domenico Trombetta

Great products

Great bread and good food nice staff

Lars Hildebrandt

I'd have to say, even after growing up on the Danforth in Toronto and shopping at authentic Greek and Italian deli's, I was homesick and just a little impressed at the level of service and selection here. Wow. I got way more than I bargained for. Gotta love that staff. Just outstanding respect and courtesy, knowledge and FUN! It's out of my way, but I'll be back just to enjoy a great coffee and something from the bakery. I'll sit and think about what to cook that night with all the deli cheeses, antipasto, bread and meats. Bravo! Does anyone know if you can get spicy eggplant? Haven't found a good Italian eggplant since leaving T.O.
