Farina cucina italiana Athens — Restaurant in Athens

This place has a TON of potential but needs to work out some kinks. It’s new, just opening on December 1st. One appetizer, one glass of wine and two pasta dishes cost 96 euros, which was NOT worth it for the quality.

The ambiance on the little side street it’s on is REALLY cute. Perfect for a windy or rainy night since it’s covered but you are still outside. Service was attentive, but the English speaking was not very strong. There was a LOT of staff standing around, which created a sense of boredom or something. Good came just a little too quickly.

Watch out for the salt shaker! My friend tried to use it and the whole thing popped open and got ALL over her food. Totally ruined. It is an electric salt shaker and a bit fancy — they should tell you how to use it when they place it on the table.

They offered to remake her food but they should have just automatically done that. She declined but the food was much too salty after that.

She ordered the pappardelle ragú. It was supposed to have veggies in it but not one piece of actual veg.

I got the mushroom ravioli which was good. Pasta well cooked. If they would use a different sauce instead of beef broth it would make for a really good vegetarian item. It could have used a bit more flavoring too. Overall a decent pasta dish. Nothing terribly special.

Now, the eggplant appetizer we ordered WAS special. Beautiful presentation and delicious. Surprisingly good!

The bread and sauces were fantastic and my Greek Rose wine was also really delicious.

Keep working to refine your presentation and dishes Farina. I hope you can live up to the potential. A lot of good, but just a touch short of...
