Taste of Italy



Tastes of Italy: Central Italy – All July at Johnny Farina This month, we’re heading to the heart of Italy with flavours inspired by the regions of Lazio and Tuscany. From the bold streets of Rome to the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, savour the soulful, rustic, and vibrant dishes of Central Italy. Supplì (Fried Rice Balls) Golden, crunchy, and irresistibly gooey. These Roman-style risotto croquettes are stuffed with mozzarella and served with a rich meat ragù. A street food favourite, elevated. $18.00 Bucatini all’Amatriciana A bold Roman classic with a twist: long, hollow pasta tossed in a white wine tomato and fresh chili sauce, finished with crispy pancetta and Pecorino Romano. Traditionally made with guanciale, our pancetta version adds a savory depth. $27.00 Lemon-Rosemary Olive Oil Cake A moist Tuscan-inspired cake infused with citrus and herbs, topped with almond frosting and served with whipped lemon mascarpone. Rustic, fragrant, and the perfect sweet finish. $12.00 Featured Drink: Cherry & Ginger Prosecco Spritz A summery Roman spin with muddled cherries, orange, ginger beer, and Prosecco—bubbly, bright, and refreshingly bold. $13.00
