Giovanni's Restaurant

Giovanni's Ristorante has served authentic Italian fine dining in Ottawa's Little Italy since 1983. Founded by Lisa and Giuseppe Pollastrini, the restaurant brings the flavours of Pescara and Tuscany to Preston Street, with four decades of tradition behind every plate. Our menu features house made pasta, classic veal and chicken dishes, fresh seafood, and seasonal Italian specialties, paired with an extensive wine cellar. The elegant, white tablecloth dining room is ideal for anniversaries, celebrations, business lunches, and private events. Open for lunch and dinner through the week with dinner service on Saturday, reservations suggested.
