Fans rave about Farinella's authentic Italian pizza – many calling it the best in Ottawa with its perfect thin crust and high-quality toppings. Their unique meter-long pizzas are a standout, with people loving specialties like the truffle white sauce option and classic Margherita.

While a few mention it's primarily a takeout spot in winter with limited seating, the summer patio is appreciated. The friendly service and consistently delicious food keep customers coming back, making this Little Italy gem a must-visit for pizza lovers.
