My wife and I had a great experience at Farina. The restaurant atmosphere is nice and cozy, the service is amazing and the food is stupendous! Even being quite busy, everything we ordered got to our table within a very efficient timeframe, from drinks to...entrée and mains. It's worth mentioning that staff is quite friendly and considerate. I would highly recommend indulging in this little piece of Italy in NZ.More

Lunch at Farina was an absolute delight from start to finish. The ambiance was just perfect a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel instantly welcome. The food at Farina was absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was full of flavour, expertly prepared, and...beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. We left with full stomachs and happy hearts, already planning our next visit. If you're in Auckland and looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience, Farina on Ponsonby Road is an absolute must-visit. You won't be disappointed!More

Farina is one of our favorite italian restaurants in Auckland. Even if always busy (and sometimes a little bit loud), food and atmosphere are fantastic. Surely not the cheapest, but one of the best dining options for italian cuisine in Auckland!
