    This restaurant is a lesser known neighborhood gem. I'm a snow bird who has been coming to FL for 15 years. In the month that I'm here I eat here 3 or 4 times. The owner is the chef. He insists on cooking all the meals and he has been doing it over 25 years. The menu is filled with delicious Italian dishes and daily specials. I had veal Michaelangelo and it was mouth watering delicious. Give Restorante Farfalla a try and you won't be disappointed.

    The food and service at Farfalla is always exceptional. Today we were a group of 5 and each had different food; everyone was very pleased at the quality, temperature and taste of their choices. Have frequented this place for 20+ years and will continue to do so.

    Absolutely delicious! Best veal piccata I’ve had! Elegant decor and outstanding service! Not sure why there weren’t more people there on a Saturday night, but by far the best meal we have had in the area! Bravo!
