Farmacia Trattoria Located in the old Arnold Drug building, Farmacia is a beautiful Italian Trattoria in the heart of historic Cornelia.

Our artisan Italian and wood fired pizzas provide an opportunity to experience an artisanal flavor of Italy. Our authentic Italian is prepared with the finest ingredients including flour imported from small Italian farms, and aged Italian cheeses. Using time-honored technique, and even Italian equipment, this is an opportunity to experience an artisan flavor of Italy. The building we occupy served the community as a pharmacy for over 75 years before closing. When we purchased this property, the basement was a time capsule to medicinal treatments going back to the 1940s. We embraced the history while forging a new path by naming our restaurant Farmacia (Italian for Pharmacy), and promoting the famous Hippocrates philosophy:
โ€œLet Food Be Thy Medicineโ€.

We stopped asking whether it's the best lasagna in North Georgia. Y'all keep settling it in the comments.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "The lasagna was the best I've ever had, anywhere!" โ€” Terri
๐Ÿ’ฌ "Tiramisu is out of this world!" โ€” Marie
๐Ÿ’ฌ "One of our favorite restaurants! Always amazing food and service!" โ€” Lisa

Here's the part we like: none of that is a secret we're keeping. Most Italian places hide the kitchen behind a wall. Ours is right there, six feet from your table, all night long.

So when Terri says the lasagna is the best she's had anywhere, you can watch how it happens. Chef Paul builds it in the morning, layer by layer, before the doors open โ€” sausage and three cheeses, because some things can't be rushed at seven o'clock on a Saturday.

Same with everything else. Pizza dough stretched by hand and fired while you watch. Pasta timed to the second, then finished in the pan with the sauce until every strand is coated. The bread rolls, the dough, the gelato, all of it made here.

And the tiramisu Marie is talking about? That one speaks for itself. It has been quietly outselling everything on the dessert menu since we opened.

One warning: the garlic cheese rolls sell out most nights. Order them when you sit down, not when you get around to it.
This is a neighborhood trattoria. It's not priced like an occasion, and you don't need one to come.

See you tonight.

A special visit in the kitchen!

Chef Paul got to catch up with his longtime friend Chan Gailey, who has had an incredible career coaching football at both the collegiate and professional levels. We're always honored to welcome great friends and familiar faces through our doors! It's always a bonus when there's birthdays involved!

A trattoria was never meant to be fancy.

In Italy, the ristorante was where you went for an occasion โ€” white tablecloths, a printed menu, courses in order. The trattoria was the other thing entirely. Family-run. Affordable. The kind of place you eat every day of the week. The person who cooked your food knew your name, knew your parents, and had opinions about how much you'd eaten lately. You didn't go for a special night out. You went on a Tuesday.

That's the tradition we're trying to carry on here on Irvin Street.

Chef Paul Almoyan says the best part of his week isn't a review or a full house โ€” it's looking out and recognizing people. The same families. The same couple at the same table. Folks who came once out of curiosity and now just show up. That's what a neighborhood place is supposed to feel like, and Cornelia gave it to us faster than we had any right to expect.

We could tell you about the food. But they said it better.

Teresa: "What an amazing restaurant! We loved everything we ordered!! Best tiramisu ever!!"

Christine: "The lasagna was delicious and the tiramisu was even better than it looks! My husband loved the pizza."

Lauren: "The bolognese is to die for. I could eat it every day."

Jeanine: "Best food around"

Notice a pattern? Two people came for dinner and left talking about the tiramisu.

Lasagna. Pizza. Bolognese. And a dessert that keeps stealing the show.

Come see which one you end up telling people about. It might just be a special evening in the hidden speakeasy.
