Restaurant Laspézia — Restaurant in Gatineau

We went there twice and had a good experience both times. They have a number of creative pizzas and a few other dishes. Entrees are also available like fried pickles.

The only thing I would add was an odd discussion I had with the waitress and subsequently the owner about their advertised "20 ounces" beers. When my beer was brought the the table, it was poured in an European glass called a "demi". I'm very familiar with these glasses as I come from France. A "demi" refers to a "half liter", which equals to a little less than 17 ounces. I half-jockingly brought that up to the owner's attention and pointed out I was missing quite a bit of my 20 ounces of beer, to which he responded that "these were the glasses he was getting from the supplier. Not a great explanation really and I didn't get a top-up nor a larger glass, which in my mind would have been the right thing to do.

This is not unusual for restaurants to "cut corners" on drinks/glass sizes but I thought this would be worth noting.

Food was great. Venue is nothing spectacular but pleasant and cozy. There is a flat screen on the wall presumably for game nights. Washroom.could use a bit of love/organizing. Service...

After you conquer the slightly humiliating parking lot entrance (a.k.a. a hill), you will be served by a team what I would consider as "down to earth" and welcoming staffs. There's a waitress who sometimes works there and who always seem to be having a good day - I would be inclined to say that her positive attitude is rather infectious.

Aside from the pizza recommendations, I would suggest trying an item embedded deep on the second page of the menu, called the "Chicken Parmesan Pasta". I can't comment on the nutrition value, but of the few times I tried it, it always seems to have provided me with enough satisfaction and comfort to get through my day. I can't quite explain why I would have a crave for such a hot dish during a heat wave, perhaps it contains some magic that might be worth your savor.

As we continue to ride through the pandemic, I've come to appreciate some things, with this store being one of them. With a newly built patio, I hope this store will continue to flourish, and in return, provide good food, service, and experiences for the local...

Ordered a small pizza, 10 wings with bbq sauce and homemade garlic sauce to dip. Wings barely had sauce on them, dry and over cooked, hard and chewed forever! No garlic sauce was in the bag and the pizza was mediocre. Paid 45$, when I called the restaurant they said that the sauces on the wings are preportioned, ok which means not much sauce, non existant really although I wonder why I paid 45.00 for nothing. I was told that the forgotten garlic sauce in my order could ys gave one job to do, do it rightbe credited for my next future order. Hmm, I think not, if you can't provide me me with what I ordered then I certainly won't be going back. You guys have one job to do, do it right and never forget if you want to keep your clients make them happy and provide awesome food...
