A group of friends went out to celebrate a birthday. We all enjoyed the service, food, and atmosphere. Claudio was our server and did an excellent job explaining the food choices as well as helping us make decisions on our choices for dinner. 2 of us had the Farina Italian Salad and the short rib ravioli. One person's meal was not prepared as they liked it. Nancy one of the owner/chefs brought a replacement and they loved it. The desserts were 2 coconut cakes and the chocolate pecan tarts which everyone enjoyed.

What an absolute lovely establishment. I am from the DC area and the meal here was on par quality wise and it cost half the price. My wife and I were shocked with how affordable yet high end this place was.

Sadly my wife and I got food poisoning last Thursday night for my wife’s birthday dinner. We could barely eat for 36 hours. We love Farina but we need a long break and maybe no more oysters from there again.

Whether I am on a dinner date with my wife or hosting a business dinner for a large party in one of their private rooms, Farina is one of the most, if not the most, accommodating fine dining venues in KC. Its modern Italian menu is unparalleled and showcases many types of meticulously prepared, hand-made pastas. Their gnocchi di patate should never be taken off the menu! Their main courses all deserve special consideration. I had the scallops. They were seared to perfection with a thin caramelized crust giving way to an impossibly tender center. This was complimented with a delicate tomato sauce and a cucumber relish that added just the right amount of acidity and crunch to complete the entree. For sides, I highly recommend the chanterelles and broccolini. This is a meal I will be thinking about until the next time I come back!

Excellent service, we had a super warm friendly and knowledgeable server its such a shame we couldn't remember her name! Went in without reservations and they sat us at the oyster bar (which is full menu service) we got to sit and watch KC flow by as the sun set. The chef at the oyster bar had his picture on the wall of Julia child and himself cooking together. We spoke and he was very friendly and told us more about the oysters we had. We recommend the highwater oysters from Hog Island. They were exceptional and the chef's personal favorite as well. We had the burrata with caviar, Hokkaido scallops and the carbonara. To finish it off we enjoyed the affogato, a union of bitter and sweet that plays out like music on your tastebuds. Lastly, we enjoyed the tiramisu which had a floral note coming from the orange zest and liquor inside, delicious. Highly recommend. The quality of the food is reflected in the prices and the portions were perfectly sized to enjoy a full course meal there. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Didn’t live up to expectations. My carbonara was pretty much a soup. Way too much sauce. Venue is more casual than I expected as it’s incredibly loud. I could hear my neighbors next to me more than I could my date across from me. Chef came out and made a few rounds which was nice.
