It's slid since our last visit. The risotto, mozzarella ball things (forgot the name) were not hot enough or didn't have enough cheese and therefore not gooey, and the marinara wasn't great. Really disappointed.My bestie and I ordered cheese cap, it had a not so great texture, it was quite gluey and was very bland, part of it being the boring marinara sauce. I was really annoyed there were really overcooked linguine noodles in mine, it kinda grossed me out, I picked them out.We WERE impressed with the antipasti/ charcuterie board, decent selection and fair price. The pickles were gone fast. LolThe guys ordered steaks with roasted veggies and potatoes. The steaks were cooked properly but they were disappointed in the very small portion of roasted/burnt veg and the 3 or 4 cubes of potatoes each. The plate was sadly quite empty for men who work hard all day, and were paying a good dime. Potatoes are cheap, there should be significantly more on their plate, maybe some herb butter for the steak and potatoes?Nothing we had was excessively memorable or worth repeating.All 4 of us walked out not overly thrilled, a good bit poorer, and had to buy more food elsewhere for the guys within 2 hours of supper.I'm not sure we'll be back for a while. Crown & Beaver up the street is way better.

They served the best cappelletti dish I have ever tasted! A unique and delicious Caesar salad, amazing lasagna, soft lighting, beautiful decor, the food was fantastic, they even made a custom dish as a special request. We had a great dinner and it was not overly expensive. This will be a regular stop for our family.

Sunday brunch and had the omelet, delicious! Portion size is very good, coffee was good and refilled often. The restaurant only had a group of 10 and myself but the one server was very attentive. I've found my weekend brunch spot!

Despite receiving a confirmation email that our online order was in processing, when we arrived for pickup they knew nothing about it. Stated the “tablet” hadn’t been working. We hadn’t been to Farina in over three years due to their flakiness with open hours in the past. Seems they continue to have an apathy towards actually serving customers. That was the last chance for us.

Very good food and great service. Would definitely give it another visit if we're in the area again.

A great little spot inside the Best Western, that saves you having to leave the premises for an evening drink and a bite. Menu was very limited and a little on the pricey side tho if you just wanted something to snack on with your drink. And to clarify this was Fab bar, which is just the bar side of the restaurant.

The quality of the food at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. Their seafood pasta was truly unpleasant, lacking any flavor. The seafood appeared to be frozen and reheated. And the pasta itself was excessively watery. We paid $32 for the dish that we could not eat.

I tried this place because it is located in my hotel. I had a ticket be for a free breakfast which was ok. Pancakes were very dense and hard to eat. The sausages casing were very tough as well. For dinner I had the anichini and Osso buco. The rice balls weren't bad, the breading is very thick and crunchy. Inside could use something else like peas added. Kinda just blah but good tomato sauce. Osso Buco had good flavour, not a whole lot of meat for what I paid. I don't care for polenta which is what it is supposed to c ok me with so I got rissoto. Very chewy and gummy/starchy. I don't think I will be back during this trip.

I have dined at this restaurant last week while I was staying at BW hotel during a business trip. Hotel has advised Farina Ristorante to have dinner at, as I was recently rated best pasta place in town. The server was great, food came in an accessible timeline. However, muscles came in extremely salty and spicy, with zero flavor, just salt and heat! Pasta was really disappointing, again no flavour, sloppy and just blend. The price point was much higher than the quality of food. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so beautiful, it was so disappointing that the food didn't match. Just looking for owners to look into the quality of food that comes from your kitchen. And I hope in the future, they make some changes to offer delicious food for future customers.
