Farina Pizzeria & Wine Bar Downtown

I really enjoyed this pizza! Great vegan cheese Updated from previous review on 2025-12-12

What an incredible experience we had at Farina. My coworker & I stumbled upon this place on our last evening in ABQ, visiting for a farm to school conference. Everyone who works here is gracious & attentive. The food is veramente perfetto: a perfect salad, pizza, & the best budino I didn’t know I needed. Anche il vino!! 😍 The owner/manager runs a beautiful restaurant & has created a wonderful community here. It’s clearly a well-loved local gem!!

An incredible experience from start to finish! Popped in here on a whim with my co-worker after a hot yoga class and it did not disappoint. We were in town for a conference and this was our last supper in Albuquerque… it was hands down one of the best meals we had all week while in town. We ordered the verde salad, some pizza, and a delicious bottle of natural wine recommended by the owner. Everything was delicious!! The staff were very friendly and attentive and the owner was kind enough to give us dessert on the house! Would come back here in a heartbeat. Thank you for a great meal that we’ll be thinking about for a long time! :)

We got a gluten free pizza with dairy free cheese. It was really tasty, but I just wished that the pizza was a bit more filling. The pizza split between the two of us wasn't quite enough to fill us up, but was still over $30 with the tip. Otherwise, service was great and the atmosphere was nice.

Good service and food! We ordered a pizza and desert, and both were excellent. The inside dining room is somewhat cramped, but this is definitely a place we will visit again.

This place carries great local beers, add Monday deals on bottles of wine. So after starting off a nice drink, we have the antipasto platter which was creative, flavorful, impressively unique. They will let your half and half pizzas so we had half Fungi (perfect mushroom blend) and half Bianca and wholly delicious on both halves. It was one of those weirdly perfect Albuquerque nights to sit out on the patio, accentuated by really caring patient service & perfect suggestions from our server Jill. I understand this has been a long-standing Central Ave., East downtown haunt here, Stop by, you won’t have to wonder why it is!

The pizza is always fantastic. Because the space is small and they try to maximize tables, it’s sometimes hard to hear the server and other people at your table.

We got a seat at the bar as soon as we entered. We ordered the baby spinach salad and salsiccia pizza. The salad was bright and the dressing packed tang. It was delightful. The bread in it was fresh as well. The salsiccia pizza had grilled red onions, fennel sausage and red sauce. It was so tasty! The real hero was the dough and their special 2 min cook at 800F which gives the pizza the signature char! It was flaky yet pliable. The staff were attentive and kind. This place is an absolute home run.
