This place is incredible. The atmosphere is incredible, the staff is incredible, the food is incredible. I have never once been disappointed by Farina. It’s really challenging to find a good salad in Albuquerque. Farina has salads that are always delicious with the freshest ingredients and they have daily specials. The pizza is also amazing. It’s truly one of those restaurants that deserves all of the love.

Enjoyed dining at Farina's very much. Cozy, brick building with bar and table seating. Somewhat dark but sets the ambiance. We had pizzas and they were perfectly prepared. Some great choices of wines and local beers as well. Service was just like the rest perfectly orcastraded, friendly and very efficient. I can highly recommend this establishment for your dining experience.

Farina Pizzeria and Wine bar is a fun dining experience for the whole family. The salads and pizza are absolutely outstanding and cooked to that nice golden brown perfection. The restaurant offers excellent choices vegetarians and vegans alike. Wild mushroom pizza is excellent choice if you’re looking for that taste of wild and it’s packed with bold spices flavors. Farina Pizzeria and Wine bar is an Albuquerque must try!

My husband and I had the most fantastic dinner experience here recently. We were attending a show that evening, and asked the owner (Stu?) how long the wait would be since we had to be somewhere at a specific time. They were busy, but he found seating for us quickly. Our very sweet and attentive server was also aware that we had a limited amount of time, so she also did her best to get our food and drinks out quickly. We very much appreciated the beyond satisfactory service. To top it off, the food and wine were as spectacular as we remember from our visits years ago!

Walked into this little gem unaware of the delights awaiting us. Greeted with a friendly smile at the door and chose seats at the bar on an incredibly busy day after Christmas. Raven took phenomenal care of my daughter and I as ordered everything I thought I could possibly eat. The Caprese Salad was a 12 and the soup of the day equalled it in taste and appearance. We finished it off with gorgeous pizza that is on the top 3 of all time for me. What a great place to stumble upon!!

A wonderful dining experience that satisfied all the senses! The salad was fresh and delicious. All their ingredients are organically and locally grown. The Margherita pizza was incredible! We had the Butterscotch Budino for dessert and it was the perfect combination of sweet with just a touch of saltiness. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was friendly and attentive.

So my wife and I were so happy to find this great pizza place. We have had pizza in multiple major cities and we now have our new favorite. You need to try their Gorgonzola dipping sauce and if you like Michelob Ultra, sorry they don’t carry it BUT you have to try their “beer”. Seriously, that’s what it’s called. It a lager. We had a large pizza with half meatball (not on the official menu) and half Salsiccia. We loved them both but ordered a large Salsiccia to go....which we never do. Lastly, we shared a delicious cannoli. The service was also top notch. Our server Alyssa and bartender JD were very attentive and super friendly. We love this place and will be back soon. Great find! Highly recommended.

Farina is my go-to spot for dates, or really any special occasion. The pizza is simply fantastic. There really isn't a bad pizza on the menu. They have a very good beer and wine selection there as well, and while I've never ordered a cocktail here, I am confident it would be well-executed. My only complaint is that at this location specifically, it can get very loud and somewhat cramped. But I still HIGHLY recommend.
