Following their success with Via Cibo in Kanata, our existing franchisee will now open his second location at Chapman Mills Marketplace located at the intersection of Strandherd Drive and Greenbank Road, joining anchor tenants Loblaws, Walmart, and Cineplex Odeon," said Sean Black, Chief Executive Officer of Happy Belly.
"We would like to thank Choice Reit for welcoming us to this property, establishing the second Via Cibo location within the city of Ottawa.

We anticipate the opening of this location to take place in spring 2025."

Known for its strong residential growth, Barrhaven is home to a mix of young families, professionals, and retirees, all seeking vibrant dining experiences. The area has a flourishing dining scene but still offers untapped potential for authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine. With its close-knit community feel and increasing demand for diverse culinary options, a Via Cibo Italian restaurant in Barrhaven could quickly become a go-to spot for families, date nights, and special occasions. The abundance of nearby amenities and easy accessibility from Ottawa's city center make it a prime location for an Italian dining experience.
