The Prescott

This casual restaurant in Ottawa’s central Little Italy neighbourhood has been pouring beers and serving hearty food since 1934.

The Prescott has been a landmark on Preston Street for decades. Drop by to munch on a classic meatball sandwich or one of the restaurant’s unique square pizzas as you enjoy a pint. The menu includes just about every bar classic you can think of, ranging from nachos and wings to smoked meat sandwiches and chicken parmigiana. Billing itself as a “purposefully retro greasy spoon,” The Prescott gives you a glimpse into both the city’s past and Little Italy’s present (it’s a popular venue for celebrating weddings, baptisms and other family events).
