Johna's is a great distination restaurant for truly authentic Italian dishes. It's a casual type restuarant with an upscale look and feel, at great prices. Rhode Island is known for its Italian restaurants on "The Hill", but JOHNA'S can give them all run without the price.

Excellent food and service! I have been eating here since it opened about 10 years ago, and I've never been disappointed.
