Farina brings the heart of Naples to Ponsonby with its lively atmosphere and award-winning pizzas. The team behind it (including a champion pizzaiolo) ensures the wood-fired pies have that perfect char and chew — the Margherita with DOP buffalo mozzarella is a revelation in simplicity. But Farina is not solo pizza; the handmade pastas, creamy burrata starters, and daily seafood specials hold their own as well. The space is casual, bright, and always buzzing — often spilling out onto the pavement with Aperol Spritz-sipping patrons. Warm service, reasonable prices, and consistently excellent food have made Farina a Ponsonby staple where the dolce vita is alive and well.
