A taste of Bella Italia
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa|Publishing/writing/career stuff
My latest piece over at SavvyMom.ca is about a wee walking tour of Preston Street. Preston Street is where you can find things like this:
That was from a lunch we had at Simply Biscotti, and it was… simply delicious.
Preston Street (a.k.a Little Italy) is pretty easy to get to, and there are lots of places to park, in city-run lots and on the street. We found plenty of street parking on Beech Street right at Preston. It’s close to Dows Lake too, so you could consider taking in some of the lovely views there as well (or walking off all those pastries afterwards)!
There is a lot to see, and to eat. (Which is the main reason we go there.)
Also worth mentioning, it’s la Vendemmia this weekend, Preston Street’s annual fall harvest festival. It’s a celebration of wine, food, and culture. And there’s a charity grape stomp too! (What more can you ask for?) You can read more about la Vendemmia here.
