Farina Neighborhood Italian

Loved it! The atmosphere is cozy yet lively! The food is delicious and the service phenomenal. My salmon was perfectly prepared. The fried mozzarella is the best I've ever tasted. The marinara sauce tasted like it was made by my Sicilian Grandma.

Farina has a good thing going. The food was excellent, wife and I did a couple apps and entrees a piece, pics attached. They also have a great wine pairing and overall beverage selection. Our waitress was great, attentive and chill, but not in a way where she forgot about our table. Will definitely be coming back in the future! 🍝

What a great place - both times! We stumbled upon Farina two years ago and loved the food and service and vowed to come back. Well, we were new to the area and forgot the name/could never find this place again. However, we happily found it, now two years later, and are so happy we did! After our failed attempt to go to Enrigo's for a friend's birthday (go check out my review for Enrigo for that story), we were encouraged to enjoy a great Italian meal and we are so happy we were able to do that at Farina.

With no reservation at 7pm on a Saturday, they were able to seat our party of two immediately. Our server was Brooke who was extremely nice, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided very prompt and stellar service. Making recommendations and asking for refills or if we needed anything before we even thought about it was fantastic.

The meals here are always delicious. The calamari is quite delicious and the peppers add a delightful fresh, salty-spicey kick to the calamari. The aioli is also quite tasty.

For meals, we had the Pesto Primavera with chicken and the Farina (Meat) Pizza. The pasta had a delicious pesto sauce and paired with a healthy portion of pasta and chicken. The pizza was also delicious - thin crust, not too much sauce, and well seasoned toppings. The sausage was delicious and the peppers on the pizza added depth. Did you know they make their own in-house made butter? It was delicious and took the ever normal table bread to a different level. We actually asked for more bread and butter because it was so tasty!

The cocktails were also delicious - strong and not too sweet.

Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience from the kind host, prompt service, and delicious food. We will definitely be back for our next dose of Italian cuisine!

Such a gem of a place. My daughter and I wanted a nice Italian meal. We both enjoyed our dishes. I ordered the bolognese and she had the roasted lobster spaghetti. Both were delicious and came out relatively quickly. Atmosphere was very calm and quaint. Appreciated the experience!

This was our first time to Lafayette Village and it is adorable!! We went on a Friday night and Farina was the busiest place there by far. We got there at 530 and was seated right away but by the time we left around 7 it was fully packed. The calamari is excellent and we enjoyed the meat/cheese board. The margarita pizza was so good, the dough was so soft - my kids never eat crust but ate this. It was a bit floppy but the flavors and sweet sauce made up for it. The chicken parm was very good. My only complaint is my kids got the kids meal spaghetti and it was $10 and it was just pasta & butter and didn’t come with anything else. Seemed a bit steep. (They still devoured it and wanted more though). The service was very good even when they were at their busiest. We enjoyed our meal very much.
