Stopped here for my first time today. The pizza was stellar, and the gelato was fantastic. The ladies were so nice and gave my 18 month old a pistachio gelato cone and I’ve never seen her so happy.I need to take a moment to talk about their mortadella sandwich. I don’t know if it’s a regular item or if this was a one time deal, but it is perhaps the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. It was 3 ingredients I believe: some thin crispy focaccia type bread, thin shaved mortadella, and ricotta. In its simplicity, it was up to the stellar ingredients to make it shine. The bread had a wonderfully crisp texture to contrast with the tender mortadella and soft ricotta. The ricotta is to die for…wonderfully rich and smooth and well seasoned. The mortadella was flavourful and there was the perfect amount of it. The kicker was the salt on the bread which just made everything pop. I never knew something so simple could be this good. There you have it: what I believe to be Ottawa’s best sandwich. It’s called The King and rightfully so. I hope they keep this on regular rotation.

Pizza is better than Italy. Yes I said it...well atleast better than the places we went to in Rome. The owners are super friendly and spent many years in Italy perfecting this long Pizza style. Truly one of the best pizza in Ottawa if not the best.

What an amazing place to get takeout pizza from! They say a 1 m piece feeds four, I think it feeds six to eight! The hot honey is amazing, and the Cesar salad was the best I’ve had in Ottawa (they use anchovies in the sauce and there’s no bacon bits, and you can get gluten free, so it’s halal, pescatarian and can be gluten free, amazing!).

Can’t go wrong with any slice you get from here. Everything is tasty and has toppings that all work.

We are regulars who love the pizza, hot honey, gelato, affogato, suppli… everything! Always great service and the pizza is a perfect Roman style pizza, straight from Italy. Delicious. I recommend Farinella to everyone for dine in, take out, and special events (large orders, gelato cart, they do it all). Grazie!

in winter, maybe room for 6 people to dine in crowded at 2 skinny tables. Apparently in summer their patio is lovely and holds more seating. Pizza was really good! Service friendly and great dance moves when the song "Valerie" came on!

Don't get it. Can't taste anything beyond the amount of cheese on the Margherita.

Truth Hurts

Farinella used to be my go to spot. I waxed poetic about it to every person who mentioned pizza in Ottawa. Unfortunately it seems like something changes and the quality slipped. I will give it another shot soon, but the Margherita used to hit a little different.
