New bylaw could be last call for La Roma’s Preston St. patio
La Roma restaurant is raising a red flag about a new city bylaw that has the potential to wreck their patio, which is the heart of the business in the summer. A new accessibility bylaw means there has to be a two-metre clear path on the sidewalk. Because of where the city planted a couple of maple trees on the sidewalk, then put protective cages around them, there isn’t two full metres of width until you hit La Roma's patio railing.The patio is about 13 inches (33 cms) too close to the curb, though the sidewalk does not appear the least bit squeezed. If the restaurant shrinks the patio to comply, it loses most of its tables, and outdoor seating goes from 40 to eight. So, in its effort to make sidewalks more “accessible,” the city is undermining the very street life it is trying to create.

Little Italy - Ottawa Real Estate - Ottawa Living
Ciao, my Ottawa friends, and welcome to Little Italy, one of Ottawa’s most spirited communities. Located between Chinatown and Wellington West, and stretching as far South as Carling ave., this is the cultural centre of Ottawa's Italian community.
Preston Street or ‘Corso Italia’, at the heart of Little Italy, is the main commercial district, and is home to most of the small businesses and Italian restaurants in the neighbourhood. The majority of the businesses here are family operated with “an owner in the store” approach to customer service.
Preston and its side streets host a variety of events and festivals, like the annual Italian Week festival, Ottawa’s largest street party; La Vendemmia, a wine festival where businesses set up on the sidewalk; and Pomodoro, a massive tomato fight to raise funds for local charity.
This area is a dream location for vehicle enthusiasts, as the community hosts several automobile events such as the Ferrari festival with an Italian Car Parade, and the Show N’ Shine, which features members of Ottawa’s vintage car clubs who polish up their rides and show them off on Preston Street for all to admire.
With beautiful heritage buildings like The St. Anthony of Padua Church, and incredible architectural art like the Millennial Arch (and the Heritage Mural Project, the Bambini) celebrating the community, this European-style neighbourhood is packed full of culture.
Little Italy is also home to comedy clubs and The Gladstone theatre for thought-provoking entertainment, plus there is an intersection along Somerset Street, bringing together the neighbourhoods of Chinatown and Little Italy, which creates an interesting and diverse collection of restaurants, pubs, and homes.
There’s always something happening here in Little Italy, so come and check out why this vibrant community is where you want to be.
