| What makes the Villa Lucia different? |
|
There are alot of answers to this question! For one thing, the restaurant is big and during the peak-season we need every bit of it!
However, what really separates us from everyone else is our policy of welcoming our visitors for the entire evening.
The Villa Lucia is the type of place where you come and spend a real evening out. You will not be rushed. You are invited to enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. You can get up and dance anytime you want on our large dance floor.
The table that you are seated at is your table until closing time. Now how many establishments can make that claim? That's why we're different. |
|
| I want to book a large group. Who do I talk to? |
|
| The best way is to call 613-596-1346 and ask for Lucia herself. She can answer all of your questions regarding availability of dates and pricing. |
|
| What is the dress code? |
|
| The dress code is generally semi-formal in the evenings and more relaxed during the day. Gentlemen are certainly not out of place wearing a jacket and ladies are always looking for a good excuse for a new outfit! |
|
| Do you offer Gift Certificates? |
|
| Yes we do! Gift Certificates are available in any denomination and are available at the restaurant. |
|
| Can I book your private room for a retirement? |
|
| You bet. We do retirement gatherings all the time! Call Lucia to arrange the details. Whether you want a full meal or just munchies, your group can be accomodated! |
|
| What is your price range? |
|
| The prices range from $20 to $40. (Prices subject to change.) |
|
| Can I get directions to the Villa Lucia? |
|
We are located at the following street address:
3430 Carling Ave.
Ottawa, Ontario
K2H 5B1 Canada |
|
| Check out our very handy directions page to get detailed directions. Enter your postal code in the form and click the 'Submit' button. You are then presented with a link that you can click on to open a new window with detailed driving directions. You can print that page if you want. |
|
| We are between Acres Road and Moodie Drive. If you aren't sure where either of those two streets are then the easiest way to describe our location is that we are a couple of minutes west of Bayshore Drive. Just look for our big red and white sign. |
|
| Need a map for you and your guests? You can print it and zoom in and out as appropriate. |
|
| What are the nearest hotels to the Villa Lucia? |
|
| If you are coming from out-of-town and need to stay close to the Villa Lucia then you can find a list of nearby hotels right here. |
|
| Do we need reservations? |
|
| While not strictly required, we do encourage people to make reservations. If we know how many people are coming then it allows us to provide the proper amount of staff to ensure high quality service. So you are not required to make a reservation but it is a courtesy. |
|
| Do you offer any vegetarian items? |
|
| We do offer a selection of vegetarian items. We have many pasta dishes in various sauces, dinner-sized salads, and more. If you have a favorite item that you don't see on the menu then either call ahead or ask your serving staff. |
|
| Do you have a buffet? |
|
| A buffet is typically only available during the Christmas season, and Mother's Day. If you have a group of 100 or more then you can arrange a buffet by calling us and asking for Lucia. |
|
| What credit cards do you accept? |
|
| We accept American Express, Mastercard, Visa, EnRoute, and Diner's Club as well as Interac. |
|
| What can you tell me about the Live Entertainment? |
|
| Our current entertainers are Amigo band on Friday and Saturdays. They play all of your favorites so Dance Dance Dance or just listen to the music! A DJ is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays so if your dancing is a little rusty then Wednesdays or Thursdays are perfect days to practice! |

|
| What type of music can I expect to hear? |
|
| You will hear quite a variety of music at the Villa Lucia Supper Club. Generally we like to begin with some soft dinner music during the early hours. |
|
| As the night picks up so does the music. You can expect to hear everything from Top 40, Latin American to jazz, Sinatra, Cole Porter and more! |
|
| If you like to dance the cha-cha, meringue, disco, waltzes, the twist, or something else, chances are you will hear the right type of music to do your thing. |
