Vespa Wine Bar

Vespa Wine Bar is one of the best italian restaurants in Ottawa for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Old Ottawa East.

Old Ottawa East doesn't exactly scream late-night wine bar energy — it's the kind of neighbourhood where people are more likely to be arguing about sourdough hydration than hunting for a good Barolo.
