Di Farina Restaurant

One of the best pastas I have eaten in the US. The pasta was.cooked to perfection and the sauces are fantastic. On the other hand, we also ordered a Fiorentina steak. We did get a steak, and it was nothing like a real Fiorentina. Finally, we found the service to be excellent and parking in the back was abundant, although there are no signs indicating it's location. When it comes to wine, the options are very limited. Bottom line is the if you are looking for excellent pasta at a reasonable price and you are not picky about your wine, this place is for you. If you are looking for a real Italian restaurant, this is not it

Excellent service, warm, welcoming, everything we asked for the server provided above and beyond. We were in a rush and he ensured we were prioritized. Our meals were clean, just right for quantity size, delicious, great price for the quality, and plated professionally. Think of a high end experience without the high end prices. The pasta and seafood tasted fresh as well. The octopus was tender, charred perfectly with a bit of smoke, the suckers were nice and slightly crispy. Impressed with the takeaway bag too. Need a night out with that special someone? Or having a family Italian night? Don't miss this opportunity. Also recently renovated and modern. There are real Italians from Italy working there!!

Omg!!! What an amazing service by Yoshi I believe, but not only that the food was incredible, everything taste different and filled with flavors. Feels like that special homemade meal from your mom. High quality ingredients it's very obvious that is what they use and a variety of different homemade pastas was a delightful experience. I forgot to take pictures.

Very yummy!! Branzino ravioli special and pumpkin for me! Great service too!

I recommend people to ask for the price of the meal of the day before order ! 65$ for an osso buco that was dry and not tender at all doesn't worth the price.

The dates were delicious. The meatball appetizer would have been better blended with véal and pork, but the sauce was good. The ceasar salad would have been better tossed before serving. The octopus was tasty but slightly chewy... i did not like the gnocci. The chicken parm was okay. Overall experience was good but the food items need some tuning before i return

My wife & I have been to De Farina several times and enjoyed it. This time we brought some friends who had not been there. The service was off. I don't know if the server was new, but she was not well informed on the menu. She had to check with the kitchen to answer our questions (e.g., how many dates are on the back wrapped date app? is there cream in this dish?) Our wine choice was unavailable, so she brought out a suggested bottle for $10 more (with no offer to reduce that price.) My wife has dairy allergies and the server was unable to make suggestions to avoid cream, etc. In the end, my wife picked a very plain dish that could have been had anywhere. My food was not nearly as good as I remembered prior meals there. Our guests seemed to enjoy their food, but the experience we had there was not what we expected based on past experience. To top it off, the server brought us the bill, it looked fine, she then took our credit cards to split the bill, then CHARGED the cards for the split amount FOR ANOTHER TABLE that was a group of 6 - total charges more than double ours! She then had to get help to reverse the charges and charge us the correct amount. All of these extra things wasted our time. Very disappointing evening. I hope it was just an off night or just this server.

The space is very welcoming nothing too crazy decor lightweight. Service was very attentive staff with friendly helpful with selecting dishes and pretty honest about the food that was being served. It was recommended to try the artichoke ravioli and Bolognese pasta. Complementary bread and butter was served. I must say the butter was very hard in terms of adding it adding it to the bread which made it difficult to spread and so I don’t know if maybe future reference they can possibly have the butter sitting out at a more room temperature just because the bread that was served was almost like frozen.

As far as appetizers, the heirloom tomato that needed some salt, the tumuca was deliciously phenomenal, the oil was very light. I would’ve loved a little bit more pine and basil.

Regarding the Bolognese pasta and the ravioli five out of five. I loved the artichoke ravioli if you’re into Mediterranean. It’s filling white sauce. Amazing! Regarding the Bolognese pasta, I did feel like a lot a little bit of flavor. But that could just be a personal preference that I have, but I definitely feel like it locks a little bit of flavor. We did have to pound some cheese and salt on it to get the flavor pallet we desired.
