Editorial Review for Ottavio's Ristorante Italiano – by Louise Williams
The Scene
An authentic Italian restaurant in downtown Provo owned by Sicilian Vic Balsano, Utah Valley's Ottavio's Ristorante Italiano offers fresh Italian food in a tasteful, old-world Italian atmosphere.
The Food
After a fine appetizer, and an entree like eggplant Parmigiana, chicken penne pesto, or fettucini alfredo, top off your night out with a dessert of tiramisu or cannoli for a perfect end to an impeccable meal. Entrees are $9-$15, and the authentic taste is worth it. The atmosphere is a setting for a special night out, or a relaxed fine dinner with the family. Servers are friendly and professional.

I enjoy Italian food and have eaten at great Italian restaurants from New York to San Francisco. Ottavio’s is terrific, better than some highly-recommended places in much larger cities. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food has always been great. My wife and I have eaten there 15-20 times and neither of us has ever had anything but an excellent meal. If you don’t want to hear Happy Birthday in Italian, don’t let it slip that it is your birthday. The restaurant has an accordion player and often has vocal performance majors from BYU singing opera selections on the weekends.
Cons: Reservations are a good idea on weekends.

This is a pretty restaurant that makes u think that the food is home made and authentic, but the food and the sauces taste pretty much like the Olive Garden. Not bad, but not great. We had a pizza from the oven and it was the best thing ordered. The servers were nice and the portions were generous. The manager was really attentive and told us about desserts. They were good.
