  We were celebrating our anniversary and everything were above and beyond. From the service state point and the food creativity, everything was perfect all around. We will definitely come back. IF you do not know what to order, you may try their clams pasta, it was such a delicious combination of flavor. Thanks team.

  Really rude owner and staff! As two young girls we didn’t feel welcomed in this establishment. Rude greeting at the door. Waiter circled around other tables without asking us if we wanted to order, had to go up to him to get noticed to order. Food was also very mid - not worth the price! We ordered the lamp ragu and the seafood risotto. Pasta was al dente but like there’s a point where it’s just hard because they’re too busy to make it perfect. Seafood risotto didn’t have enough flavor, octopus was hard. Don’t recommend. Needed salt to make it taste like something. Lamb ragu was slightly better but still lacked complexity in flavor that I would expect for this caliber of restaurant. Squished like little sardines despite having multiple tables free, makes it too loud to have a conversation! Anyway, that’s a pass!

  Super busy place, thankfully we made a reservation. I absolutely love Neapolitan wood fired pizza and consult the AVPN website - The Neapolitan Pizza Association (Associazione Verace Pizza napoletana registry while traveling. This place has the association BUT it is not wood fired pizza. I have found that if the pizza oven is gas, the pie is inferior to wood fired pizza. The cheese was not even melted. The pizza we ordered did however have excellent toppings but too many of them. A true wood fired pizza, like in Naples Italy, has a thin, lightly charred crust. A thin layer of tomato glaze with a light sprinkling of toppings and the best buffalo mozzarella. The food here left a lot to be desired. Even the eggplant Parmesan appetizer was lacking flavor, tasted like tomato paste was used.

  Over the years, I have been here quite a few times with different groups of friends, and each time was excellent service with great food. The restaurant is very organised from booking and confirming a table to table service. When it's busy, we understand the staff can be a bit overwhelmed, service can be a bit slower at times, and that's when we enjoy our table company. The wine selection is great! In our latest food order was Seafood Risotto and Clams Linguine, beautifully executed and presented!

  Great - first of all, we booked super late and last minute & they accomodated us plus called us with updates letting us know when a better table became available. The food was very yummy. The service was fabulous & the drinks were great, too. Thank you!

  Arguably one of the best pizzas I've had since I visited Napoli. The duck pasta with burnt butter and sage sauce was also elite. Servers were attentive but not pushy and we had some great chit chat. Would recommend a visit as we'll be back

  As soon as you walk through the door you are transported to Italy! The buzz, the decor, the people, all superb. The dinner service is friendly but hey it’s the food that is the star here. We had a delicious risotto & the best Caesar salad ever! Thank you.

  Farina has mastered that golden combination of beautiful food and genuine hospitality. A little slice of Italy tucked into Ponsonby The crumbed olives - superb!
