The focaccina with burrata and prosciutto will change your life. Walnut pesto pasta is incredible! Get lamb if they have it as a main. Fresh fish flown in from the Mediterranean!
Molly YanityAugust 22, 2015Been here twice while visiting and both times have been among the best overall dining experiences I've had. Service, food, wine selection, all of it. Top notch.
Thomas ThemelJune 24, 2016Try the charcoal pizza for alleged health benefits and a fun opportunity to time how long it takes food to pass your digestive tract!
Brian WilliamsonSeptember 7, 2012Handkerchief pasta w/ their award-winning pesto is an absolute must. And although their wine selection is very good, I have to recommend their tequila cocktail, "Prohibito."
Kris Vera-PhillipsSeptember 14, 2013Try the Mandilli di seta al Pesto - #kvpinmybelly : So delicate and packed w/flavor! Basil/Almond pesto sauce over handmade handkerchief pasta.
CrillmaticFebruary 25, 2013Try the Pansotti Di Recco Con Pesto Di Noci - Handmade genovese pansotti filled with ricotta cheese, spinach and borage, walnut pesto
Danny ConwayMarch 14, 2015Don't think this helps but there is a huge discrepancy between the good dishes and the bad. The pesto is great
Dave BusbyApril 1, 2012Now I know how the italians stay so skinny! My dish was good despite a little overkill on the walnuts but imma have to get a slice somewhere!
Milena AdamianJanuary 11, 2011Focaccia calda with wine is a MUST. Several menu items change every week - very creative and tasty. Finally, the chef is very cute!
BillyNovember 30, 2014Food was great, but service is TERRIBLE. For the cost, you would think the servers were a little more attentive.
Marissa CoughlinFebruary 5, 2014I am not a panna cotta eater. But this panna cotta was to die for...
Laura CNovember 17, 2011In a city full of Italian restaurants, this is the place to go for fresh pasta.
Sora LeeSeptember 21, 2014Should've listened to others. I don't mind paying $$$, but service was not up to par. Ant on my table, fruit flies everywhere, very overpriced wine (used Vivino), and Why am I pouring water myself?
ᴡ FoxSeptember 6, 2015Bread is STALE, beyond stale. Pasta is too salty, sauce is also soooo salty. Who uses black pepper in a white sauce? #cheftalk
Maggie MasonMarch 26, 2009Sunny day, too late for lunch, too early for dinner. Take your favorite book, find a sidewalk table at Farina, and choose a glass of wine. Order handkerchief pasta with pesto.
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011Great cuisine and HUGE portions! “This pope’s daughter could eat a horse!” –Lucrezia Borgia
Nick BurtoAugust 18, 2016The interior looks great but the acoustics are terrible, it's really loud. The value for money wasn't great.
Sean HowellNovember 28, 2013Bring your own bottle of wine. Their bottles are terrible. Amazing food. Worst wine in the city.
The Daily SipDecember 20, 2010The $25 corkage is on the high side, but buy a bottle from their list and get corkage waived on one bottle.
Lane RettigOctober 23, 2013Good but not good enough to justify the price tag. It's way overpriced. I've had much better meals for less. Service was reasonable but not exceptional. Would not return.
Marcel MolinaAugust 1, 2009The sangria made with white wine and brandy is imminantely poundable. I think I had 5 or 6!
