Di Farina-pasta - Pompano Beach

Arrived at this small eatery at 7 pm for 8 pm dinner reservations. We were starving and overestimated how long we would be stuck in traffic. We were hopeful that we would have been seated as the restaurant had several open tables. Instead we were allowed to sit at the bar and watch the open tables for over an hour. No apology, instead we were told at 7:15 pm to seat ourselves. As we sat there we noticed other people walking in and being seated right away at odd times; clearly not times booked on Open Table. The lobster ravioli was underwhelming. When I asked for extra sauce, I was questioned if I was sure by the owner. The hubby got sick from the salmon. The gnocchi my cousin’s girlfriend ordered was tasty and they enjoyed the flan. The ambience was nice and the Mascato was good. If you’re local it’s a decent date night location. It definitely wasn’t worth our trip from Melbourne, Florida.

Great service and the food excellent. Noisy somewhat with many tables empty at 7;30. We were seated by the kitchen warmer away from the AC Vents. Service was good and friendly. Food was gastronomical.

Our first experience was great! We were welcomed warmly and with excitement. The wait staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our food was very tasty, well prepared and presented nice. The only thing was the noise level, very loud, very hard to hear about specials. We all had something different, chicken picatta was a little dry but the sauce was spot on. Carbanara was amazing, all pastas were amazing. We will be back

From walking in the door you are made to feel welcome and a friend. Delicious food homemade pasta not rushed excellent experience every time.

What a wonderful dining experience with delicious Italian dishes and outstanding service from all of the staff, but especially our server Alessandro. We are so happy to have discovered this gem of a restaurant off Atlantic near Federal in Pompano Beach.
