  I stumbled upon this absolute gem of a café while walking down Shepherd’s Bush Road, and it turned out to be a remarkable find. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, paired with a classic artisan aesthetic that immediately sets it apart. They also offer excellent outdoor seating that feels genuinely welcoming and adds to the overall charm of the place. I ordered the chicken escalope with melted cheese on focaccia, and the flavours were truly unforgettable—rich, balanced, and clearly crafted with care. You get what you pay for here, and the quality speaks for itself. After all, it’s run by real Italians, and it shows in every bite. Even the cappuccino exceeded expectations. It had a wonderfully creamy texture and a thick, velvety foam that held its form far longer than most cafés manage. What really stands out is the precision and attention to detail across the entire experience—from the food to the thoughtfully designed interior. The customer service is equally impressive: genuinely friendly, warm, and homely. Every staff member I encountered had a smile and a gentle, welcoming demeanour. I will definitely be returning. This café is a rare find and well worth a visit.

  Farina & More is a beautiful Italian café that truly captures the charm and warmth of Italy. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked croissants and rich coffee fills the air, setting the perfect tone for an indulgent experience. Their chocolate desserts are divine—decadent, perfectly balanced, and irresistibly tempting. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick espresso or treating yourself to one of their many “naughty” sweet delights, every visit feels like a little escape to Italy. A must-visit spot for lovers of authentic Italian flavor and cozy café vibes.

  Dreadful. Staff gave us a food order number to put on table, then made us come up to counter and collect it anyway. Salmon tasted like a scab (no way it was fresh), lasagna was smothered in way too much cheap cheese 🧀 Expensive as hell. Honestly I think people see this place and think 'huh, looks cute, food must be nice', then are kinda brainwashed into thinking it's ACTUALLY good.

  A true hidden gem in Hammersmith! Authentic, freshly made Italian food, perfectly paired with great coffee or a cold Italian beer. Matteo was outstanding — warm, friendly, and full of spot-on recommendations. Everything we tried was exactly as he described. We visited after lunch and enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for our 19-month-old twins. The shop is stunning, packed with high-quality Italian delicacies: pasta, sauces, charcuterie, wines, prosecco… you name it. Loved every moment!

  Best coffee in the area!! I spent some days in a hotel close by and came here for coffee and small snacks. The owner is a very friendly and forthcoming authentic Italian and his colleagues were also very pleasant. I had some slices of spicy pizza with salami, which was really tasty. The dishes and pastries in the counter display windows looked fantastic and I would have liked to try them, but my schedule didn't allow for it. The ambience is warm, cozy and welcoming and the Italian products for sale on the shelves round out the feeling. I went to many places for coffee during my stay but this was hands down the best Americano for me!

  My fiancé and I stopped her for dinner our first day in London and decided to order the pasta and a drink! We didn’t try the pizza but a lot of other tables did and it looked and smelled amazing we wish we had gotten that too, our pasta was really good, i had the rib pasta and he had the carbonara pasta — we’d love to come back and try their pizza next time!!

  A great relaxed evening, chilling with some drinks and food. The quality of food and atmosphere was perfect. Was slightly concerned about the service after reading some reviews which made me a little more attentive to it, but can honestly say we had a great service and would definitely go back!

  9 of us came over from France for a couple of days and ate in the restaurant. We ordered pizzas and three lasagnas. When the lasagnes came the plates and the lasagnas were cold !!! We waited a long time for them to be reheated thinking we. Had been forgotten as the others were half way through their meal . When it arrived we discovered that there was very little ingredient of meat but we are on holiday and don’t want to spoil the evening for the others we said nothing. Later when we paid the bill we discovered that the price for the the lasagne was more than mentioned on the menu. My husband spoke to the woman from Naples who said that the price had gone up !!! I was angry. Another fact which might help them is that in France we wait for everyone to finish their meal before clearing the table ! My poor friend was alone with his meal ….the table had been cleared !!!…not done here.

  Farina has consistently been over the last 15 years the best pizza in London. Quality of the base and ultimate work by the pizzaiolo, high quality ingredients and perfect oven cooking. The quality of the pizza remains exceptional but what there has been a major upgrade improvement on the appetizers …. The most recent permutation on Arancini and Croquettes are truly amazing …. Taste truly home made and …. They are apparently …. Some of the best ones i have tasted in my life …. Last but not least the whole eating experience has make special by the great team there …. Special mention to the wonderful Anna Maria …. Warm, friendly, proactive, professional and genuine … this also makes Farina standing out from the other 99 pct of restaurants in London. PS - try the limoncello - home made ….. out of this world
