FARINAS Workspace & Restaurant 15 Babbage Road, Roseville Chase, New South Wales 2069

"Yeah, it's OK. Service wasn't great. It was friendly but not efficient. The food was variable. For me the best thing on the menu was the Zuppa di Pesce. There just wasn't much of it though and I have no idea why it was served with some pizza bread. The share plates to start were generally OK. Nothing special but not disappointing either. The thing that was disappointing was the desert. I had the mousse and it wasn't like any other chocolate mousse that I have ever tasted. The flavour was good but the texture wasn't that of a traditional mousse. I also tried another diner's tiramisu. Now I realise that tiramisu is pretty much different in every Italian restaurant that you go to but this was quite different. Not bad, but not delicious either. The other thing on the menu that we found that was excellent was the wine. Easy to drink and reasonably priced. Danese Rosso Italiano. We were a group of seven on a Saturday night so we were a little surprised when it was made clear to us before 10pm that they wanted us to leave. So if you are looking for somewhere that you can order another bottle of wine after dinner and sit around and chat with friends over another cup of coffee (because the coffee is served in large thimbles) then this place isn't it. Probably won't be back. It was just OK."

"Fresh pizza and pasta. Quick service. The tandoor chicken pizza was succulent and flavoursome with a good crust made in house that was chewy but also had a good wood fired crispy edge. The goat Ragu had tender pieces of meat, plenty of sauce and pasta was fresh - however a bit too salty. Good deal with 50% off the fork booking, otherwise each dish about $30"

"Really delicious food. Great pizza and pasta. Fresh and tasty dishes. I was a bit disappointed with the service and wait time given that we booked a table. However, staff were friendly and clearly working hard. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant."

"Very disappointed in their pizza! My and my partner we both ordered the same pizza(prosciutto). First of all the pizza was so dry and hard. (Maybe a bit too long in the oven?) Second of all our pizza was with wild rocket. Unfortunately the rocket was rotten! It had a very bad taste and a yellow color. We didn’t eat the rocket and kept it on a separate plate. We told and showed the waiter the wild rocket. He was going to say something about it to the kitchen. We paid and left but will never go back to this restaurant anymore. What a shame!"
