Dear Friends,

 

Welcome to Ottavio's Italian Restaurant Website.

For over 49 years our family has been serving your family and our community of Camarillo and Ventura County.

 

Our family came to the United States in 1959 and settled in Camarillo in 1969. It was in October of this year Pizza Villa was introduced to the boulevard only a few blocks from our location today, a quaint location with seating for only 65.

We have always worked together as a family. My brothers Ric and Len started working with my dad in the kitchen when they were 10 and 11 years old. I started helping my mom in the front when I was 12.

It wasn't long before dad's self taught recipes and mom's natural charm had customers waiting around the building. As business grew we expanded in 1974 and then again in 1978 when we sold everything we owned and risked all to buy the land and build where we are today.

 

Every recipe my father created, from our own made bread to our famous minestrone soup and all the wonderful sauces, have stood the test of time!

For those of you who were there in the beginning and continue to support us today and to all our new friends and patrons, Thank you!

We couldn't have done it without you.

 

Warm regards,

 

The Belvedere Family - Julie Belvedere-Thomason
