Stumbled upon this place as part of our bar hopping experience and couldn't be happier. Fantastic pizzas, and the drinks were great. The bartender was knowledgeable and gave us great insight. Would definitely come back again for a proper dinner.

I feel guilty for waiting this long to try this INCREDIBLE restaurant! The service stands out as the best I have ever experienced. If you are lucky enough to have Ash serve you then you are in for a treat... he is amazing. The food is sensational and faultless. I am already planning to return... OFTEN!!! Thank you Farina, you rock!

Beautiful restaurant and some of the best customer service I have ever had. You could tell the staff were genuinely happy to be there. Also great food! I had the gnocchi and it was the best gnocchi I had of my life. definitely will be back for more. Great portions as well for value of money. My partner and I only had an entree and a main each, and both left feeling very full and satisfied.

One of the best places for Italian in Auckland. Classic rustic Italian food, beautiful flavours, great Italian wine selection. There's so many things to enjoy about Farina's - the attentive staff, delicious food and comfortable atmosphere. Ongoing reviews from different things we have eaten when dining at Farina: We loved the flounder, clam linguine and crab ravioli. The fish stew was superb. So much flavour and copious ammounts of snapper, octopus, prawns and tuatua (clams). Hapuka wings and clams - delicious flavours and beautiful fish. Get some extra bread to mop up the sauce with. My friend had the Beef Lasagna which he loved. The Chianti is a great Italian red. Goes with pretty much everything on the menu. Totally worth getting at least one bottle for the table. Finished with the delicious classic Italian dessert Tiramisu. Another night of exceptional food and service.

Solid as per usual. Courgette flowers as a special were very good. Crispy and packed with mozzarella and ricotta. Pizza with the white anchovies was great yet again. Love the pizza dough they use. Thin and has just the right amount of colour on it to add to the flavour.

Great little place with a wonderful atmosphere, staff who make you feel like a member of the family, and food that makes you wish the lights were a tiny bit dimmer so you could get away with running a sly finger over the plate to make that flavour last just a few seconds longer. Good meals that make you feel stuffed, staff that make you feel good about having made the choice to become stuffed, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you plan to get back and get stuffed again as soon as possible

Amazing dinner at Farina! This is one of our favourite places in Auckland and the go-to restaurant to meet friends and colleagues. Cozy vibes and great food. Last time we went there were 6 of us and we had a feast. I strongly recommend the meatballs and the gnocchi. This time we had a fantastic stew and delicious pizzas (we went for the burrata with truffle and the vegetarian one - both of them recommend 100%!). Parmigiana is also a must. I would honestly order everything in the menu. We went for a pinot noir and some of us had their classic espresso martini 👌 And of course, tiramisu to close a gorgeous meal ❤️

One of the best Italian restaurant we've ever been! We are a south American couple (Argentina & Brazil), we went to Farina to celebrate my husband's birthday and we had a perfect night! The restaurant is in one of the best neighborhoods to go out on a Saturday night (Ponsonby), the atmosphere of the place is great! We highly recommend eating by the kitchen so you'll get to see how they're able to deliver the best service! The respect and perfection from the chef is so good to see and we want to stand out the organization and cleanliness of Mario! Our night was also pretty funny thanks to Ash! Quality food 10/10! Thanks Farina for this unforgettable dinner, we'll be back!

This is a nice Italian place tucked away on the corner of Ponsonby Road. The atmosphere is a busy but intimate and intentionally decorated space. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, the food was very good.
