Farina 00 Pasta & Wine

My husband brought me there for my birthday and I believe he couldn't choose a better place.I had the Caserecce di Pancetta and my husband had the Spaghetti al nero. Since we are Italian, (and my husband is a chef), we know how the pasta has to be cooked and that pasta was perfectly "al dente", full of flavour and every mouthful was just a pleasure to taste. We tried the Arancini and even if I don't like lamb, I ate it all, just beautiful. We had the Olives as well and I was surprised to taste such good "olive all'ascolana" in Australia, it reminded me home. The restaurant is cosy and warm, the waitresses were attentive, nice and friendly. A beautiful dining experience that I can't wait to r...

Restaurant was at 60% capacity, extremely noisy, 9Aug.35 minutes to get the first dish, an other 15 for the mains not sure what happen in the kitchen? Very disappointed with the food, The wine was excellent, Calamari were fresh but very oily !..Gnocchi were heavy and very average, the bolognese was lacking seasoning, Spaghetti Al Nero were the worst, tasteless food soaked in a light broth ! the service was good, they offered a complimentary dessert which I did not accept so they discounted $ 5.20 of the Spaghetti ! as I had told the waitress when she asked that the dish was rather tasteless.We won't be going back.

I can't wait to return. Wow everything about this restaurant was perfect. The waitstaff who were young were so good. They where very attentive and knew the menu and with confidence where able to describe the dishes. We where lucky enough to meet the chef, he is young, vibrant and loves what he does which reflects in the quality. Another nice point is how the dishes are also influenced by what is bought from the markets. My friend had the pappardelle (braised rabbit) and I had the Gigli (mushroom pasta with truffle) both meals where sensational. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

I've eaten here many times and every time I leave I am planning my next visit. The pasta is cooked to absolute perfection! The sauces compliment the shapes of pasta so well, and the dishes are just so different to others I've tried before, which makes the experience so much more unique. The staff genuinely care about making your experience comfortable and relaxing and you can tell the kitchen team really put a lot of love and passion into everything they do. Can't wait to go back!

Terrific restaurant with excellent authentic italian food. Service was great with spunky, lively staff who were very entertaining and made top notch cocktails. Arrived at 7.30 and got our entrees 10mins after ordering and mains 15minutes later. The desserts are fantastic - particularly if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. Overall there were no faults, me and my partner left with full bellies and a great experience. We'll definitely be coming back for more!

Visited recently with friends and was less than impressed. The restaurant was busy which is usually a good sign but it was also so noisy it was near impossible to have a conversation with our friends. I ordered the hunter's stew which was supposed to be a mixture of 3 game meats and root vegetables and hunt is what you need to do to find any meat at all. It was also rather salty. Personally I won't be going back.

it took the mains an hour or so to be served. The waiters were quite attentive and aware that the mains would take awhile and were quite apologetic.The pasta were hit and miss - the gnocchi and pappardelle were good but the squid ink spaghetti was passable. In all, not a bad restaurant but it would take a dramatic change in speed and a menu change to bring me back there.

Just passing by Farina and I the spotted fresh pasta. Walked on in and the service was good. We had to wait a while for our mains but our drinks and entree were quickly served. The calamari was delicious. Pasta dishes were enjoyable with me enjoying the braised lamb and my husband having pancetta. We will return! Réservez une table maintenant

We had an excellent meal here, the menu choice was good, pasta was freshly made and the quality and presentation were lovely. The service was excellent too, cannot fault the place and will definitely visit again next time we are in Adelaide.

Food was yum, service was attentive, and decor was homely. The one young lady dealing with the floor did a very good job considering there was about 7 tables. Would visit again.
