Farinella

Meet Nina Agostini! Nina and her brother, Cesare, are the co-owners of Farinella in Little Italy, Ottawa! Farinella is a pizzeria, gelateria that specializes in metre long, Roman-style pizzas and gelato from scratch. You’ll also find a delicious assortment of fried foods, homemade cannoli and biscotti.

Ten years ago, Nina and her brother moved to Italy to learn the art of making authentic Italian pizza and gelato – the family business since 1968! Shortly after, Nina and Cesare came back to Ottawa determined to bring the same atmosphere to a new business in Little Italy. In 2019, Farinella on Rochester opened their doors.

“I do the sweet stuff, he does the savory – and everyone’s happy!” We couldn’t agree more.
