    Great food and service. Fresh made pasta is a plus. Good lunch spot for relaxing comfortable conversation. A bit overpriced.

    I would recommend the food, not the management. I reserved a booth for a Saturday night a week in advance. Not only did they not hold our booth but made us feel like a nuisance when we were upset about it. As a matter of fact, we were turned away and asked to come back in 15 min. We did just that and when we returned 15 min later, they were just seating another couple at the booth we requested. Management came over to us and said, “ok, we will get you a table, what’s the big deal”? We left after that. Mind you, we eat here almost every week. Not very good customer service.

    I ordered the minestrone soup and it had no taste nasty. Risotto seafood was ok. Service was poor. It was very annoying seeing a man dressed in black I don't know if he was the chef but that's how he was dressed, he will go stand and stared at people not pleasant. I would defenetely not go back and will not recomend it.

    We love Farfalla but this particular night was not that great. Valentine's day. Very busy but the real issue was that they kept taking "to go" orders and the in house patrons suffered for it. The food is always good but the kitchen was overloaded. We'll never go on a holiday night again.

    Farfala is our neighborhood restaurant and we dine there often however this time food wasn’t as good as usual. We ordered eggplant parmigiana and it was just a slice of aldante eggplant with tomato sauce We order osso buco and it wasn’t seasoned and had very plain taste. Sauce had a lot of flour and didn’t taste like fine restaurant food but more like cafeteria food Beef Carpaccio was pretty good

    Another excellent meal at the best Italian restaurant in the Valley! The wait staff is so friendly and the food quality and preparation are outstanding. I feel lucky they are in my neighborhood!

    My wife’s pasta was flavorless and was then charged for extra sauce. So was my Daughter who enjoyed her sauce so much and when requesting additional was charged too. At the end of our experience my wife and Daughter met the Manager who was kind enough to remove the charges however the server acted as if we had stiffed her on the tip but my wife was more than generous.

    The Burratta was delicious and all three of us really enjoyed our entrees. We were greeted, seated and orders taken quickly. Even the food came out quickly. We will definitely return.

    The price for a glass of wine is pricey. Why not more of a variety and sliding scale price?
