Thin crust, fresh ingredients, innovative toppings all baked to perfection. Farina is a casual place but has an active enjoyable atmosphere. The wine list is strictly Italian which is actually a good thing since the wines compliment the food very nicely. I didn't have dessert, too full, but the Lavazza espresso (perfect crema) with cookies ended an enjoyable meal. Go... More

Went here without reservations on a Friday night and had to wait less than 10 minutes. Very good thin crust pizza; energetic, relaxed atmosphere; tables close to one another but not bad; friendly, efficient staff; very reasonable prices. A great spot to go for casual dining.

I went to this restaurant with much anticipation based on the outstanding reviews in Trip Advisor. I, therefore, was very disappointed in finding that the 3 pizzas I sampled were only average in my experience. Perhaps it is because I have been eating pizza all over the U.S. for over 50 years, although, I have eaten better pizza in Albuquerque... More

Coming from the NYC area where pizza really is the best, we never eat pizza when traveling. However, we were sick of Mexican and gave this place a chance. Pizza was great! Loved the ambiance. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the limited appetizer menu and lack of a full bar (wine and small selection of beers only).

The pizza is California style which is not so good when you are a NYC transplant. Friendly service. Quite honestly the best pizza in ABQ is Giovanni's on San Pedro. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain

The reviews on Trip Advisor were right - this place is really, really good. The mushroom pizza my wife and I split was outstanding and was sized just right for two. It was reasonably priced at about $15. We also split a bottle of a decent wine that was priced surprisingly low ($22). The big winner of the night though... More

I always try to eat here when in town. It's a great place to relax with your buds at the end of the day. Try to get in for an early dinner. It gets louder as time goes by. Noise gets me. But it's difficult to find a good restaurant that is not going to be noisy. Funky, artsy, in... More

Great pizza and terrific salad. Portions were large, food was really fresh and tasty. Just went once as we were visiting from East Coast and looking for fresh, healthy food and pizza for the kids and this place fit the bill perfectly. Funky and fun. Food was fast and there was no wait or hassle as others have mentioned. A... More
