Farina's Wine Bar & Cafe

We had a nice waiter who suggested the cauliflower pizza . It says on the menu gf and he also said it was. I ordered the Greek side salad and he said the vinaigrette was also gf. The pizza took about an hour to arrive and was barely warm. My daughter ordered soup and said hers was also just warm. I was terribly bloated for 3 days and even though I didn’t have any of my normal symptoms I have a feeling I at least had cross contamination. I would not suggest the pizza here just for that reason .

Cauliflower pizza was okay. Undercooked in the middle but crunchy around the outside.

Not a single staff member knew anything about gluten, our server would disappear into the kitchen for 10-15 minutes to ask what we could eat. We had looked and looked for a place to eat all night and eventually found this, and were assured we could eat here by the hostess. Guess what? After an hour of asking, we found out our only safe options were soup and salad. It was so late we had to get it to go because it was getting dark and we had walked here. The server was utterly clueless and conflated dairy and gluten, but the manager was very kind and tried his best. He gave us our food free, and offered to drive us home since it was getting dark. I hate to say this with how nice he was, but I really wouldn’t recommend this place to any celiac, but that being said, all the other reviews are good enough and the manager was nice enough that I can’t give this place TOO low a rating

• Good for dinner

Farina’s was a great lunch choice. They had several gf options and were very accommodating. I had the gf pita bread with the spinach artichoke dip and a custom pasta with red lentil noodles, chicken, and basil pesto sauce. Delish!

Nice place! Great service! Good food! Simple lunch options. Chicken, fish or steak plus several options for a side. They also have gluten free pasta and pizza. Waitress was familiar with celiac and checked the salad dressings for me. The creamy Italian was gluten free. I will come back!
