Ottavio's Italian Restaurant

Ottavio's Italian Restaurant serves family recipes from Italy, with a menu built around pizza, pasta, calzones and lasagna. Diners often mention the Chicken Calzone, Spicy Chicken Angel Hair and Shrimp Alfredo, along with tiramisu, cannoli and cheesecake for dessert. The restaurant has been run by the same family since 1952 and serves the East County area.

You can order takeout or delivery, or order online through the restaurant's website to avoid third-party fees. Dining rooms have been remodeled, and the covered patio has plenty of space between tables. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available, and the restaurant offers catering. Ottavio's is at 12440 Woodside Ave in Lakeside, and it is open for dinner most evenings, with later hours on Friday and Saturday.
