My husband and I were excited to come here for our anniversary because we had never been before. We drove from Aubrey to eat here. When our food arrived we asked for the appetizer we had ordered but it had never been put in so our server asked if we still wanted it. We decided to get it even though we were already eating our entrées. Our server never asked us how we were doing or brought more to drink until I needed a to go box, instead she was at the bar talking. The food was ok, the salmon was a little dry, mashed potatoes cold and my husband's shrimp scampi average. We had a certificate from work worth $25 so dinner was only $50. They automatically add a 20% tip regardless of how many people are in your party which I didn't like considering the service was not great. I'm happy to tip especially when the service warrants it. For the price it was fine but we wouldn't go back even with a discount. I'd rather spend my anniversary somewhere with great food and service.
Great atmosphere! The band was terrific. We started our meal with a Rose and a meat and cheese board. This was a big disappointment. The meat they had on the tray was like deli meat. Not at all what I expected. The pizza we ordered was delicious. They are very small though so if you come here hungry you might want to order more than one. All in all it was a good experience, other than the appetizers. I will definitely be back.
Just went for a bite to eat after Golf. Service was great and the server knew the menu, made some solid recommendations and was attentive without being overbearing. I had the Pasta and it tasted great. The pasta was a bit overcooked as I like mine "aldente". But in fairness I didn't ask for it that way. They also have live music! Didn't even know the place existed and I've been in Grapevine for 6 months! Value for money is also good.
My friend and I came here back to back days after the Grapevine coin show because he absolutely loves the pizza they have here. On Saturday I tried the Muffluetta and meatballs and thoroughly enjoyed them. Then on Sunday I got the Farina Burger which was a very hood but unique spin on a hamburger. Also you have to top it all off with a Peach Bellini Swirl!
In a world full of cookie-cutter restaurant chains and franchises, Farina’s is wonderfully unique. Just a few reasons I love it:• Location. On Main Street in Grapevine’s Historic Downtown, it’s the perfect spot anytime of the year. Whether you’re just window shopping on Main Street, or visiting for Grapevine’s festivals, Christmas events, or Homecoming parades — Farina’s is right in the middle of it all.• People. Most of the staff have been working there as long as I’ve been coming. That in itself is rare these days. It’s informal — no canned greetings here — allowing them to be themselves. Refreshing! Loyal “regulars” add to the dynamic.• Food. Italian + with options for any dietary need. Delicious!! I love the Alfredo, the pizzas, the meatballs, and OMG that homemade creamy Italian dressing is to die for!• Patio. Especially in the spring… it’s a little oasis! Hint: Come in through the front door and ask for the patio.
First time at Farina's I was happily surprised I found my favorite place!!It was a birthday dinner celebration for my daughters birthday a party of six!!The appetizers and food were yummy. The sangria swirls were the best!!The music was amazing they played a great variety of songs couldn't help dancing in my chair and we were all singing along!!Our server was absolutely great!!We all had an awesome time... we will be back!!!
Might as well get it to go, because it’s going to be microwaved either way. Flavor was decent, maybe 3/5 stars, but otherwise everything was pretty sub par. Food was mostly cold sadly even though everything seemed to come out pretty fast. They no longer serve fettuccine Alfredo like it says online…online “chicken Alfredo” which is def made with frozen chicken, vegetables, and penne pasta? Other items ordered were spinach artichoke dip that was flavored okay but def seemed like it was microwaved given the variations of temperature on the inside. Spaghetti and meatballs was okay, but served on a plate so small it was ridiculous and I couldn’t barely eat it without it falling off. Wines were also way over priced, nothing for less than 11 dollars a glass (even for a Stella rose? Which is less than 10 for a whole bottle ?) and the only sangria they had was frozen…at an Italian restaurant. Soooo definitely won’t be coming back.
Love this place. We've been there many times before and had our son's rehearsal dinner there and we're so impressed. Service was amazing just as the food always is. Can't say enough about how much we love this place. They take reservations so recommend getting them if possible.
I love the food at this place. One of my favorite wines have been their ports. It's alway a great time and experience.
I have visited many of the wineries on Main Street Grapevine and Farinas is in my top 3. I stopped with my puppy once and they were very accommodating for me and a dog on the patio. Great staff, great wine, and a great patio area. Decently sized venue.
