" The other night, I took my family to Johnny Farina for a casual dinner. We decided to share a variety of dishes, including pizza and pasta. While the pasta was delicious, the pizza left us wanting more; it was a bit soggy in the middle. The service was okay, with our waiter being somewhat distracted. The atmosphere was lively, making it great for a family night out. While I might return, I would look for something other than pizza next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Johnny Farina for lunch with my colleagues, and it was quite enjoyable. The service was prompt, and our orders came out quickly. I particularly liked the richness of the lasagna, but the portion was a bit overwhelming for a lunch setting. The atmosphere felt relaxed, making it nice for a work lunch, and I appreciated how accommodating they were with our requests. Overall a positive experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a true Italian dining experience, Johnny Farina is where to go! I had the penne johnny farina, and it was absolutely delicious! Each bite was packed with flavor, and the portion was generous. Every member of the staff was super friendly and attentive to our needs. The only downside was the wait for a table; I'd recommend making reservations in advance. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my cousin's wedding at Johnny Farina, and it was a splendid time. The food was delicious: the eggplant parmesan was a huge hit, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The service throughout the event was excellent, even though it was a large gathering. The ambiance made for a lovely celebration - perfect for events. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue! " (*Curated Review*)

" As soon as you step into Johnny Farina, you feel like you've walked into a trattoria in Italy. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. My partner and I ordered the caprese salad and shared a pizza. The salad was fresh, and the pizza had the perfect crust. Our server was delightful and took excellent care of us. A must-visit for anyone craving Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely dinner at Johnny Farina last night. The ambiance was nice for a romantic outing. My partner loved their seafood linguine! I was a bit disappointed with the gnocchi as it wasn't as authentic tasting as I had hoped, but overall it was a good experience. Service was friendly, and we enjoyed our time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t express how disappointed I was during my visit to Johnny Farina. Service was good to start, but once our orders were placed, it took an uncomfortably long time to receive anything. The meatballs were dry and didn’t taste fresh. The atmosphere was great; I loved the charm of the place, but the food left much to be desired. Unfortunately, I will think twice before going back.
