“ Had a great time. Food was great. Service was outstanding. The meatballs very tasty but the layered potato and short rib was like butter.All of the pasta dishes were a hit. Used this place for pasta and sauces in the past. So glad they expanded. This place is nice and comfy. Can't wait to come back! ”

“ This restaurant is EXCELLENT!! Amazing pasta, apps, wine, ambiance, and service!! A MUST!!!! ”

“ Very nice restaurant with creative menu and fresh pasta. The gnocchi was light and delicious. The mussels were plump in a red sauce that was delightful but normally with mussels it's should be a little spicier. The tuna app was nice but too much potato and little tuna. ”

“ Fantastic selection of meats including Spain rabbit, tomahawk steaks, ground lamb, ossobuco, veal, etc. They make the best fresh pastas even pasta with squid ink or red pepper pasta. Their pastas make all the difference in a great Italian dinner. They run a restaurant onsite as well. Check them out! ”

“ With so many Italian options, one might wonder how I can give this 5 stars. Easy - the food and service was impeccable. We had wonderful Italian wine pairings suggested by the GM that were not over top in price. I enjoyed every bite of the homemade ravioli and vodka sauce (spicy as requested). At our table everyone raved about their pasta and sauce choices. It was so good you will ask for extra bread to sop up any not clinging to your pasta of choice. I will be back to try the meat and grill. For me, I try your pasta first and then we move on. ENJOY! ”

“ Wonderful dinner! I had heard about this restaurant from several friends who love the homemade pasta so I decided to try it for myself. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the building was a very plain building with a small parking lot in the back. We had early reservations so it was no problem. From the back, there are two entrances - one for the restaurant and one for the meat market. We started with the restaurant. Upon walking in, we were greeted by a lovely woman who seated us and was also our server. I didn't catch her name but she did everything she could to make our evening wonderful - including asking the chef to make a dish of items that I wanted but that combination wasn't on the menu! We started with drinks and appetizers - we had the figs wrapped in bacon and the meatballs. Delicious. My entree was a concoction of linguini, clams and muscles with a spicy red sauce - you won't find that on the menu but I loved it. One friend had the salmon which looked delicious (large portion) and the other friend had the gnocchi. Of course we had to have dessert - the mousse was delicious as was the cookie with some kind of chocolate cream inside and the pistachio ice cream. After eating, we went to the other side of the building to the store and meat market. They have some wonderful things to purchase and take home. Pastas, cheeses, meats, seasonings, etc. Tonight, the attendant was serving samples of cheese - my friend tried it and loved it so she was given a block to take home for free! Wow -- - take home gifts :) The menu has lots of wonderful items - I'll be back to try some more! My only criticism is that the tables were a little small - - maybe even too close together. It felt cramped and we even had to move our chairs a time or two to let people in or out of their table. ”

“ Local and hidden gem - right on Atlantic Blvd! I can't tell you the number of times I have driven past Di Farina Pasta, (I'll give you a hint, 3 times a day since they've opened) and I am even more sad for myself at how long I have been missing out. The restaurant is unassuming - sitting right on Atlantic Blvd a block west of Federal Highway. A valet is out front ($7 at time of posting) which is perfect as the location doesn't have a traditional parking lot entrance. (There may be additional parking options, but we chose to valet). The restaurant is quaint, with 20-30 tables total and a handful of bar seating. It reminds me somewhat of restaurants in NY (a large dining room by NY standards). The staff were all very welcoming and pleasant, with a lovely "buonasera" greeting as you walk in! We opted for an early dinner so basically had the entire staff to ourselves for most of our meal. We started with the Grilled Octopus and the Salmon Carpaccio special. The grilled octopus was topped with a delicious herby sauce and set upon crispy potatoes. The octopus was deliciously tender and lightly charred, spectacular. The salmon carpaccio was 2 day marinated with beet and lemon. A delicious and light start to our meal; refreshing and surprising! We chose the lamb shank special and the Asiago truffle gnocchi as our entrees. The lamb shank was braised and semi-reminiscent of a Sunday roast (flavor wise) and incredibly fall off the bone succulent. The parppadelle soaked up the delicious sauce/juices making it the perfect side. This is a home run and something I hope they have when I come again! The gnocchi... oh baby the gnocchi. Soft, melt in your mouth pillows of ricotta goodness, bathing in the most light Asiago sauce that packed a kick of truffle. Not over-powering, but a perfect balance. Somehow, we managed some room for dessert and went with the cannolis and an espresso for myself! I love a good cannoli and let me tell you.. these were good. The shell was crisp and delicate and the filling was such a balance of not too "cheesy" and not too sweet. A balance most cannolis can only dream of. Seriously, THIS is what a cannoli should be. Take notes people. After dinner and dessert we wandered over to the meat shop which is stocked full of meats, groceries, and a full fresh (make at home) pasta bar! A must shop for prime meats! Overall, a reservation at Di Farina is bound to impress. The quaint and cost atmosphere and the absolutely delicious menu options make this restaurant a true star of South Florida dining options! ”
