Yelp.com Review - by Sharon T.

1.0 of 5 stars. Why, oh why, didn't we keep driving? Coming back from Carpenteria to Westwood, we stopped at Ottavio's for dinner (fooled by the full parking lot and crowd at the door). The hostess was friendly and...

Yelp.com Review - by Emiliano M.

2.0 of 5 stars. Oh no! That is what I personally thought once I entered the incredibly dark and creepy outdated restaurant. The entire place is furnished with rejects of the Adam's family collection. As much as I...

Yelp.com Review - by Vince E.

1.0 of 5 stars. This place is by no means great italian, and with the prices they charge, save your money and just go to the In-N-Out next door instead. I came here from a roommate recommendation, and the food was...

3.0 of 5 stars. This is a good family restaurant when you want more than pizza. Last night I had the calamari and scampi fettucini with tomato basil sauce. It was good, but I would recommend cooking it just a few...

Yelp.com Review - by mindy d.

4.0 of 5 stars. Three stars for the food, but service is always really good there. Maybe that's because I always go with a large group, although that sometimes leads to worse service. Anyway, I love their bread and...

4.0 of 5 stars. Tremendous family-owned Italian place that appeals to families. If you expect this, then you'll be fine. We usually order an antipasto salad to share and then share an entree. The kids split the...

3.0 of 5 stars. It has the feel of a family-style restaurant, and I thought the themed dining rooms were fun. We were seated in the Venetian room, with murals of a canal scene complete with hungry pigeons. Other...

Yelp.com Review - by Michelle M.

3.0 of 5 stars. We actually had Ottavio's on our boycott list because the last three times we went we had HORRIBLE service. Oh, and the last time we went, half our table got food poisoning from the salad. Those of us...

Yelp.com Review - by Nicole R.

1.0 of 5 stars. I remember this place being a lot better when I was a kid, but then again I don't think my palate was fully developed at age 12. I ate there about a year ago and it was probably the worst food I have...

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer W.

2.0 of 5 stars. I was definitely not impressed by the food. I think that's because everyone hyped it up so much that I expected it to be like manna. I had the eggplant parmigiana...eh...it was minimally ok (Milanos...

Yelp.com Review - by Bob M.

3.0 of 5 stars. As many cars as I see in their parking lot and on the adjacent streets virtually every night, I'm very surprised that this is the first review of this Camarillo landmark. Ottavio's serves GOOD, BASIC...
