Cute hidden gem in Riverside. The food is good. I like their soups and the pizzas and pasta dishes are also great.

Recently moved to Riverside County. Obsessed with Italian food I'm half Italian so I tried Farfallas tonight. I had a real Marcella it was so good I literally ate everything on my plate and I never do that. The waiter suggested it with a red wine I wish I could remember the name it was fantastic also. If you like Italian food I definitely recommend trying this place

Stepped inside the restaurant to a very relaxed vibe. Dimmed lights and very old style seating. Reminded me a lot of a restaurant I visited in La Spezia, IT. The food was phenomenal. Will certainly return and refer all the people in the area. 10/10

Came to see our son at UCR and had to carb load for his track meet tomorrow. Literally Googled Italian food and this place came up! I want to send Google a thank you note for steering us straight to Farfallas!! My menfolk are Foodies and when we saw the clientele was mostly Italian in this Italian restaurant we couldn't wait to order!!! The aroma in this restaurant knocks you down with pure joy when you walk through the door. No lie - I kept telling my husband - "OMG, it smells SO GOOD IN HERE!" The food did not disappoint. I felt like my Italian girlfriend's mom made me a plate. My tummy and my wallet are super happy right now! AFFORDABLE! This was a Big Win for us and we made no secret that as long as our son is at UCR and we are coming down here for visits, Farfallas is OFFICIALLY in our rotation!! Come-eat-here!!!!

My family was in town from New York. New York is the center of amazing Italian food I was scared to take them here but I had heard a lot of good things about this place so we went there this past week for dinner. I ordered Atlanta Parmesan and calamari for appetizers the calamari was cooked to perfection was not read it but fried just right. It came with their marinara sauce. Five stars for the appetizer then dinner came again amazing dinner eggplant Parmesan was perfect my family was also very happy with their meals the waitress was a sweetheart we did not have to wait for anything and I will definitely definitely definitely be back
The food was tasty and the servers are attentive. However, my daughter found a piece of a scour pad in her pasta. Service manager came by said sorry, got us a new plate of Alfredo pasta but no discount no comp. We all woke up sick the next day from the food. I'd pick another spot honestly. Somethings not right back I'm the kitchen.

Great food. Nice atmosphere. The broccoli penn was amazing. Perfect sundried tomatoes. Looking forward to trying the calzones.

Had the all you can eat pasta special on Tuesday, very fair price and good portions. Alfredo and creamy marinara sauces were delicious and the salad was very good

Average, definitely not authentic Italian. Chicken parm tough, watery sauce causing breadinh to come off chicken. Garlic bread had no garlic taste. Won't be back.

Farfallas is one of my favorite places in town, it's clean, quiet, simple decor and food is fresh, flavorful, hot, and delicious and the service is always top notch. The food is delicious, I recommend the creamy chicken Marsala, chicken piccata, anything with the creamy pesto, the lasagna.... I really don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order to be honest. If you're in the mood for really tasty Italian food you should look no farther than farfallas
