Foxon Road is a pretty lonely stretch on the edge of North Guilford, an unlikely place to find anything worth eating. Farina is a notable exception to those expectations. Its main entry is a typical take-out counter for pizza and such, but off to the side if a small, comfortable, nicely decorated eat-in side where you can enjoy good pizza and very good Italian food. This is Italian as in Italy - the owners family hails from a town outside of Rome, with music from that towns singers playing in the restaurant. The food is very good, though the service delivered by the small staff gets stretched at times. Spaghetti sauce is obviously homemade and very authentic and flavorful, and dishes like chicken marsala that could have been done very blandly come out with tender slices and nice touches like a touch of pancetta done just right. Breads are fresh and not just recycled pizza dough. My mobile phone doesnt quite reach in this remote location, but the restaurants free wifi fills the gap.Its a fairly limited menu, but if youve been in Italy at all you know thats not necessarily a bad thing. If youre in the area its worth a try, though selfishly I hope that it doesnt get too popular - we want to make sure that we can get in regularly.

Ive had a mixed experience here--the people are very nice, and the pizza, pastas and hot subs are pretty good. But they do have a tendency to get the orders wrong--multiple times with multiple cashiers Ive gotten slightly different orders, and once they lost the ticket so we were waiting for a while. I still go back, and the food is worth it, but be a little aggressive to make sure you dont get overlooked.

Ordered a small shrimp white pizza with broccoli and garlic with extra cheese. I am about 1/4 mile from them and got delivery. The pizza was cold. There were about 12 very small salad shrimp on the pie along with 30 small broccoli stem pieces. Small pie cost $20. Took one bite and threw it away took aboutan hour to deliver 1/4 mile

We usually eat here at least once a week. It is a great local secret! Food is outstanding & always fresh. Prices & service are good. The pizza is the best and rivals all the New Haven pizzerias. Highly recommended.
