Reviews for Farina Alto Pizzeria & Wine Bar in Albuquerque, NM

We were visiting Albuquerque and decided to give this place a try. Our children didn?t get to nap today (since they have a hard... time falling asleep on a hotel) girls were a bit cranky by the time we got to the restaurant. The staff was amazinglyunderstanding and accommodating. The food was delicious. I asked for a virgin drink since I?m pregnant and they made me adelicious Paloma. My husband was starving since he had just gotten off work and the appetizers came out pretty quickly. Lovedthis place and highly recommend. Will definitely be back! Read more

This place was so great! The service was excellent and the food was outstanding! A little pricey so be prepated. $8 to add... chicken on fettucini alfredo is a little steep. Read more

Well party of six. Wait staff was not on point tonight, kitchen at end of night not as good. Two ladies orders cancelled because... wait staff suggested after pizza arrived that was not good choice. Staff never came to service table, found flirting with otherstaff more enjoyable than our table of six. Maybe next time. Server tonight was Amie, certainly much better service, spirit inrestaurant was quite high. Amie brought the evening to high, food was great, enjoyed a couple of pizzas and the clams.Cheesecake and gelato were excellent. What a difference a year makes. Thank you Amie.... Family enjoyed your humor and greatservice. Read more

What happened to this restaurant's high standing quality food and service?? Is it the sign of the current times, where... everything is challenged? We chose to come for a relaxing dinner and instead feel that we wasted our money and were far fromrelaxed. The food presentation and taste was horrible. For us, we will not return to this restaurant. I do hope that thingswill get better for their sake. Truly, I wish well for them to get better. Read more

First timer. Very disappointing, so wanted to like it since I took some out of town family. Ordered 2 large pizzas. I like a... thin crust but these were paper thin and on the small side. Way over priced for what we got. Not enough for 4 light eaters. Mysister-in-law and I had margaritas ($11 each) that were very weak and rather small. My brother had a martini for $15! We alsohad an appetizer of bread with olive oil for dipping. The bill came to $96. With tip $115. So basically got basic bread, so sopizza and flavored water for $100. So not worth it. The only good thing I can say is the atmosphere and server were very nice.Again so disappointed. No way I can recommend this place. Read more

Presentation of food is nice. Atmosphere is decent. Music playlist that was playing did not fit the environment. I did not feel... like i was in an Italian style restaurant. Service was extremely poor. Seems like our waiter was the bartender as well. As forthe food itself its decent at best. Definitely not worth the price of admission. This was a 1 and done experience here. Read more

We ate at Farina Alto a few weeks ago. We had their bread plate and a margherita pizza with pepperoni. It was very tasty. Loved... the bread! Wood fired pizza had a pleasant buttery flavor which was a little different from other wood fired pizza ????. We satout on the patio after a good rain. It was a little cool but we were fine. Don't know if they have outdoor heaters, it was alittle too early in the season for that. It may have changed by now. We were in Iceland this summer and if you sit outside, therestaurants offer you a blanket, pretty good idea. Read more

The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious! We ordered the Rigatoni Bolgenese, Pepperoni pizza, and Calamari... Fritta, and everything was delicious. The portions were large enough for two for each dish. The restaurant itself was warm andinviting, a cute place to dress up for date night with its ambiance. Read more
