Do I need any painting experience?

None. Your artist walks the whole room through the painting stroke by stroke over about two hours, and everyone leaves with a finished canvas. Most guests have never painted before.

Where do I park near Il Vicolo?

Parking varies by night in Ottawa — check the venue's website or give them a call before you head out.

Can I order food and drinks during the event?

Yes — the bar and cocktail list stays open while you paint. Food and drinks are ordered from and paid to the venue, and aren't part of your seat price.

How early should I arrive?

Doors open 30 minutes before the painting starts. Come early, grab your seat and order a drink — the artist starts on time.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes — Il Vicolo has a wheelchair-accessible entrance. If you have specific seating needs, contact the venue ahead of the event and they'll set you up.

Pandemic and patio dining. I give Il Vicolo a 5 star for accommodating my dietary restrictions. No dairy - they are a pizza place. I had a delicious mixed green salad, with chicken. The only screw up was I asked for real cherry tomatoes and the cook put on sun dried tomatoes and I had to pick them off. The wait staff very nicely brought me out a dish of halved cherry tomatoes without my asking. They did not have cucumbers so subbed with mushrooms. Yummy! It is a pandemic after all and everything is just....weird.....anyways. Happy to be out and happy to be in Ottawa. Business is good.

Excellent service and great atmosphere! Interesting layout for a restaurant but I like it! My friends and I tried different pizzas and all were delicious and freshly made. Definitely worth checking out for the special.

Menus are through QR code which is very convenient, service was very polite and always asking to help, the pizzas are okay but very over priced. The got one of our orders wrong but quickly apologized and immediately made us a new one, and for the night, I believe everything was going to charity.
