The sign out front, 376 Booth Street

An Italian snack bar on Booth Street since 1960

Giovanni's is a casual Italian snack bar and pizzeria at 376 Booth Street, a short walk from Preston Street and Ottawa's Little Italy. The sign out front says it plainly: Giovanni's Snack Bar, established 1960.

Inside it is a small, warm room with checked tablecloths, a wood-panelled wall and a bar stocked with Italian bottles. The menu is short and familiar: pizzas with classic toppings, focaccia and panini, espresso, cappuccino and Italian beer and wine.
