This is a must go! Amazing food and amazing prices! The portions are extremely generous. From the marinated olives, warm bread served with olive oil and balsamic, the mussels, the risotto and homemade pasta......AUGH! I am telling you...you HAVE to try this place!

What a great place! The food was excellent and the service was great (Leanne B), all in a quiet environment where you could hear each other talk (unlike the franchise restaurants). Best of all, the bill was extremely reasonable for the quality of the meal. I'll be going back!

I tried to make a reservation for a 1:30 pm on a Saturday, however I was informed that the restaurant would close at 2 pm and we would have to be out by then. The call was fielded by the front desk at the hotel, and those were the rules. Well......

I don't usually eat in hotel restaurants as they are known to be mediocre and expensive. When my work colleague found out I was staying at Best Western, he asked if I ate in the hotel's new Italian restaurant which he apparently visits often and craves. I decided to give it a go and was not disappointed. It was neither... More

I've enjoyed several delicious meals here at FARINA. For some reason, I always seem to revert to my favourites (Lasagna, Mushroom Chili Carbonara or Chicken Parmigiana), but my wife and friends are more adventurous and have tried most other items. Pastas are fresh made as are the desserts. I recommend you try the Chocolate ravioli for dessert.....you won't be disappointed.

We only selected this restaurant because we wanted to walk from our near-by motel. Excellent food, reasonable wine, nice atmosphere, good prices. May become our favorite place in North Bay. Quiet, not like a theme eatery.
