Johnny Farina Restaurant

Johnny Farina

Cuisine Style:  Italian

Address:  216 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L7


Opened in 1997, the family-owned Johnny Farina’s has a longstanding reputation for excellent cuisine, a warm and intimate atmosphere, and an authentic Italian vibe. But it’s not just the food that keeps customers coming back again and again. At Farina’s, diners feel like old friends, and each pasta dish is made with Mama’s special touch.

Preparations in Johnny Farina’s kitchen are a family affair: “Mama Maria” is at the top of the food chain, providing the foundation for every pasta dish. Head chef Paulo Tabbi is Italian born and globally raised, infusing imaginative new world flavours into Maria’s rustic-style cuisine, which includes handmade pastas and pizza baked in a wood-burning oven.

The wood-oven pizza is a prized specialty at the restaurant, and their trademark thin, crispy crust is the perfect canvas for a masterpiece of tastes. There’s a pizza for every craving... but why not try something with a twist, like Farina’s signature Scallop’n’Bacon pizza: a pesto cream sauce base topped with thinly sliced potatoes, mozzarella cheese, bay scallops, caramelized onions, bacon bits and smoked Gouda. And if it’s pasta you’re craving, dig into a plate of Penne Johnny Farina: homemade penne tossed with grilled chicken, wild mushrooms and red onions in Asiago cream sauce, topped with fresh radicchio and toasted pine nuts.
