Farina Pizzeria in Kensington and Chelsea

The pizza was very delicious! It was stone baked and was made from very tasty dough which made it super fluffy. The ambience was a bit loud and not as comfortable as other pizza places but still good. The service was a bit uninterested, but still kind and fast.

Misery of staff weighing the place down. Service was terrible - ALL of the waitresses were MISERABLE. They looked like they had been forced to work there against their will. I didn’t see a smile on ANY of the 3 women the entire evening. Even when we were being served and I was asking questions , then lady looked like she couldn’t wait to walk away from the table. Even when not serving anyone, all the staff were walking around miserably not one single smile. This ruined the atmosphere of the restaurant completely. Pizza was 10/10 and delicious, though.

Lovely food, service was a little more challenging and had to chase up missing chips and dips. Nice cosy feel

Very attentive and fast service, delicious dinner! The spectacular tiramisu! Thank you

Looks better than it actually is. The server was ignoring me all the time, so I had to go to the bar to get a menu and to later place my order. The Pizza is okay but so oily that one may wobder if it‘s Dominos in the US

Top quality pizzas! We loved this place, Italian…

I ordered Carbonara. It was great!

Thanks a lot to Zara for being so kind to accommodate a huge group of 12 people! the staff is super nice and the pizza was amazing!

Me detuve aquí por capricho porque tenía antojo de comida italiana y vi el horno de 500 grados a través de la ventana. ¡Estoy muy feliz de haber parado aquí! Empecé con la ensalada Insalata Rustica que era perfecta. A continuación tomé la pizza Burratina y me recordó a mi tiempo en Italia. ¡Estaba más que delicioso! De postre elegí la Delizia al Limone Di Amalfi. Si te gustan los postres de limón que son cremosos y no demasiado dulces, ¡esto es todo! En general fue una experiencia encantadora. Angélica y Zara fueron impresionantes, y nos hicieron grandes recomendaciones. Este lugar es una visita obligada para la comida italiana en Notting Hill Gate. Bravo!

Pizza discreta un pò gommosa, di tre ragazzi che lavorano li si salva la ragazza con i capelli rosa,carina e professionale, l'unica che ha voglia di fare, lui a malapena saluta e trascina i piedi spostandosi da un tavolo all'altro, l'altra ragazza ciondola avanti e indietro con le mani in tasca quasi infastidita dalla presenza di clienti, diciamo che non vedi proprio tanto entusiasmo e accoglienza, cmq pizza nella media per essere a Londra va bene!

had a great time, ate delicious food))

Went to Farina with my family for a quick pizza lunch in London. Mediocre is probably the best way to describe it; the starters were OK, overpriced for what they were (and surely too oily). Same for the pizzas, slightly underdone, with too much oil on top and ok quality ingredients. Again, okish, nothing special considering what they charge. At least we were happy with the service, our waitress was friendly and attentive. Not sure will be going again.

The food was tasty, the interior was good. But the performance of the staff was strange. We were approached by 3 staff members almost simultaneously and we told by each of them that we were not ready to order yet. Why even have 3 waiters during non-busy hours in such a small restaurant? But okay. Then we asked if there was tea, we were told that there was, and then another waiter came over and was surprised that we had ordered tea as there was no tea on the menu. It turned out that the only hot drink here was coffee. Then they brought us two cokes for some reason, even though we had ordered one. Then we were asked if we were done eating, even though we still had half a pizza left and were literally in the process of eating it. Not all waiters know English even at a basic level, so we had to explain some things with gestures

Ordered Affogato with liquor as dessert. It comes as only ice cream and liquor, but without coffee. I asked the waitress and she insisted that affogato is ice cream with either coffee or liquor but never both. I am disappointed that an Italian restaurant would provide such insufficient training to its staffs. Will not come again.

The pizza here was nice but the server we had was awful. Never smiled, actively seemed like we were interrupting her day. I had to wave at her to get anything ie order, drinks, pay. I wouldn’t mind but there was only 1 other table in the restaurant at the time. Kind of ruined the whole atmosphere.

We went today, and the experience was very disappointing. The pizzas and gnocchi were just okay, nothing special. The worst part was the service—rude, impatient, and clearly unwilling to be there. An unpleasant atmosphere from start to finish. We’re never coming back.

Not the greatest Italian. Very quiet. Decent enough food and quick service. A bit pricey for a basic lasagne.

If you are in Notting Hill I recommend everyone to eat this pizza. The dough is good, light and the raw material of excellent quality. The place is nice and welcoming and the staff are friendly and polite. In many places in Italy you don't eat such good pizza. Super recommended!

We ordered a salad and a pizza with vegetables without tomato by mistake, and we were also able to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the pizza. It is Neapolitan style and although it is for one person it is a size that you could share. The service is fast and the atmosphere is ideal for a romantic dinner or just going to chat with friends. I would return to try a pizza with tomato 🤭

He places the customers all side by side even though the restaurant is empty. Not much choice, we had a pizza and pasta (spaghetti) with mushrooms. the pizza is not a real Italian pizza, the tomato sauce is a ready-made sauce that puts a layer of water on the pizza. (Spaghetti) are actually taliatelle. For pizza it's not worth the price.

Let's say that for pizza dough, I ate better in London, the parmigiana was good, the owner could smile a little more.

Buona la pizza. Buoni gli ingredienti. Digerita bene. Locale frequentato da italiani, non molto grande ma che vale la pena venire a provare. Servizio ok, forse consiglio un sorriso ed una parola in più. Super consigliato

Visited last week and really enjoyed my pizza. We ordered the Burratini + olives and the Parmigiana. High quality pizza and really tasty.

The pizza is very good.. none of the waiters can speak Italian.. only the owner spoke Italian. He was cold and rude... as I left I said goodbye. But no one returned the greeting..

Excellent traditional Neapolitan pizza, I have eaten in many "nobled" Neapolitan and Caserta pizzerias and I assure you that this one is no different. Very light dough and good quality ingredients. I would like to add a small note after a few years that I often tell friends. It really felt like a small space of Italy stolen from London. It felt like I was at home!

After days of pubs and fast food, my family and I (all Italians) were looking for a pizzeria where we could eat a decent pizza, but we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the pizza! The staff was friendly and attentive and the place was clean and welcoming. Better than some pizzas you can eat in Italy!

Very weak! I've eaten in several hundred Italian restaurants in my life, and this one was one of the worst and has little to do with Italian cuisine. It's more home cooking than restaurant cooking. The dishes look like those served by my grandmother. A ton of cheese and cream was added to the gnocchi, spoiling the taste and texture, the spaghetti was completely mixed. No cheese to sprinkle on. The proudly named Farina pizza is rubbery, sloppy and tasteless. Moreover, the prices are not very bargain. To make matters worse, the staff was impatient with the fact that we were with children and started ostentatiously cleaning up a strand of pasta dropped by the child with a tissue as soon as we got up from the chair. Nothing is right. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

Really great Neapolitan pizza in London!

Vegan options where not very good

All burnt pizza base, and unpleasant atmosphere

Quickest service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The pizza was pretty good as well.

Llevábamos varios años yendo a Farina (desde antes de la pandemia) y estábamos contentos desde hace mucho tiempo con la calidad y la variedad de pizzas que se ofrecen; preciosas pero dignas pensamos. Sin embargo, en 2024 empezamos a notar una caída considerable en la calidad y el tamaño de la pizza; su sitio web afirma 12 € pero tuvimos pizzas notablemente más pequeñas para las últimas visitas (antes las pizzas excedían el tamaño si el plato, ahora se ve más de una pulgada de plato alrededor! ) , a veces quemado, a veces la masa era demasiado salada. Escribí un amable correo electrónico a la dirección añadiendo fotos, pero no recibí respuesta. Cuando fuimos de nuevo alrededor de un mes después éramos los únicos clientes en el almuerzo con los dos miembros del personal, particularmente de mal humor. Pequeña Margherita de nuevo (9” en lugar de 12”) sin apenas mozzarella en ella. Al salir, nos despedimos del tipo detrás del escritorio, que ni siquiera se molestó en responder, apretó los labios en una sonrisa falsa y hosca. Claramente, los clientes les molestan, así que iremos a otro lugar a partir de ahora!

I am sorry to say so because they are generally pretty good, but my pizza was awful. I asked for the one with courgette, they said it was only on the online manu but they coud make it anyway The dough was good but the courgette were boiled and some were bitter. Tiny oil on it. Last time I had it the courgette were nice and crispy. Waste of money

Spectacular! An unforgettable experience, it was like eating in Italy itself. 100% recommended

Great for those who want to remember home. Excellent products. To return

Very bad experience! First time trying 2 Marina pizzas, unfortunately everything went wrong. Pizza was burnt and not edible. I sent them an email to make things right but no reply. I believe they just don’t care.

I don’t recommend for gluten free pizza. The dough was raw, as was the tomato sauce. After giving feedback, I was still charged the full amount plus extra for the GF base…

Hands down best Neapolitan pizza we have tried in London (and we have tried many!) super authentic, would highly recommend

Despite really good food, i was disappointed with the service - the front of house waiter/manager was rude and arrogant and was not friendly at all! After telling us our 8pm table was at 7.30pm (despite a call to confirm earlier in the day!) made us feel very uncomfortable. If the service was as good as food would be good place.

Pizza 5/5 atmosphere 3/5 (too loud to have a conversation despite asking them to turn it down a tiny bit) service 2/5 - waitress took ages to come once we had sat down, didn’t turn down music, we asked for napkins 2 or 3 times ended up getting it myself. Shame as pizza was pretty darn good! Date of visit 12/10/24

The pizza could’ve been delicious, but it came without tomato sauce. In my opinion, this wasn’t communicated clearly enough in the menu so it was an unpleasant surprise as the pizza was quite bland without it.

Best original Italian pizza ever!!

Edit: - today, September 28, 2024 I discovered that you don't accept cash, so I have to adjust the stars, sorry. - Wow... And what did I say to you! Perfect. Both margherita and sasicc and friariell.

Great pizza for nostalgic Italians in London. Even better than some pizzas in italy.

personal muy enojado le pregunté al gerente si podía sentarme en las mesas de afuera y me respondió si te gusta adentro de lo contrario puedes irte al final me senté adentro y pedí la pizza solo para mí porque mis amigos no querían venir ya que el gerente se comportó así al final conseguí la pizza nunca había visto una pizza tan pobre delgada como un velo transparente y la salsa muy ácida no recomiendo este lugar

I was checking where to have dinner after landing in London and from my accommodation Google showed me pizzeria Farina! I couldn't believe I found a pizzeria with vegan cheese! Pizza is great, service is super fast and the place is lovely! Totally recommend!

Pizza was great Was served by an African women very rude and not willing to talk and help. That’s the only negative feedback. The pizza is good.

The best Italian cuisine in London. Excellent pizza

Finding ourselves in the area we decided to stop for lunch, as Italians, in this place whose specialties are Neapolitan pizzas and typical products of our country. Even though we chose the cheapest courses, we found ourselves satisfied with the quantities and flavours, with notes that were partially different from the Italian ones. The staff is helpful; prices are medium-high; the bathrooms are clean.

good pizzas but nothing extraordinary. however the service is horrible, the waitress this August 23 at noon is very unpleasant and haughty I do not recommend this place

Pizza davvero ottima, saporita e leggerissima. Davvero una pizza italiana (napoletana). Lo staff è gentilissimo e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Il locale è pulitissimo ed è davvero carino. Torneremo!

Most plain Italian food I’ve ever had.

Amazing Napoletana pizza with a perfect crust and flavorful toppings. The freshly made tiramisu and donuts were delicious. Highly recommend!

Neapolitan pizzeria in Notting Hill, fully Italian management. Excellent pizzas (true Neapolitan) and first courses with the best of Italian cuisine. We met Fabiana who made us feel at ease. All with Italian music in the background. Five well-deserved stars.

This review appeared on nenno pizza and am sure I posted it on Farina Pizzeria Napoletana reviews. We ordered our food and waited at the table. They brought the pizza in takeout boxes although we were dining in. The waiter came and was yelling at us, saying we couldn’t eat inside the restaurant with takeout boxes (even though 1 of the other waiters brought it to us like that). But they said we should leave and eat outside, even though they could just take the pizzas back and put them on a plate (we hadn’t even touched them yet). They were very rude and there was barely any communication. They didn’t even apologize. We definitely won’t go back there and wouldn’t recommend.

Came here while visiting from the US. The reviews looked decent so we stopped here. While the food was decent, it needed to be salted. Great pizza crust though! Service on the other hand, was terrible. We asked for cups, water, forks and plates multiple times because there wasn’t enough for our party. One of our servers was straight up rude and uninterested in life it seems. She had silent attitude and made the overall experience uncomfortable. Do not recommend!

The waitress was extremely rude.

Como cliente repetitivo, esta pizza me trae de vuelta a Notting Hill. Su Margherita es fenomenal y su Gelato de vainilla también. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar y seguirá visitando.

Excellent Neapolitan pizza in the beautiful neighborhood of Notting Hull.

Very good pizza even for celiacs, mixed Italian and London atmosphere, excellent service

An Italian restaurant. We tried pasta with meat not once Delicious vegetable pizza

Good pizza, average prices, nice atmosphere.

Quickest service ever! It felt we just ordered and 5 minutes later a deliciously hot pizza arrived. And this on a Saturday night. The San Daniele was really good, the fungi e prosciutto was good too. Nothing to complain but we had better ones in London for that price.

One of the best pizzas of my life! At first glance, the room can seem like a canteen but the staff is so friendly that you quickly forget and that also adds to the charm of the place. The pizza dough is to die for and the toppings are tasty. I had the pesto and burrata pizza which was super light and delicious. A real good address in the Notting Hill Gate district!

Great food, super helpful and welcoming staff. My friend and I thank Luca, a nice and kind person!! Advised Great food, super helpful and welcoming staff. My friend and I thank Luca, a nice and kind person!! Recommended

Very delicious pizza. The tomato sauce was top. Service… so so , I was asking for tap water couple of times… and they ignored me (restaurant wasn’t busy) so I had to grab the bottles myself.

We found ourselves in this pizzeria that really tastes of Italy, the pizzas are really good and light, but not only there are first courses, appetizers, salads. A welcoming place and truly above expectations. We met Maurizio, an Italian boy who recommended and explained the menu to us. Really nice, courteous, kind and professional. A beautiful culinary experience. If you are in London go there

Super welcoming environment, good food, especially the pizza with Neapolitan dough. Top staff, in particular the boy who served us at the table, Maurizio.. who made us feel truly at home! Highly recommended!☺️

Excellent experience in London, excellent pizza, plus we found Maurizio to be a guarantee for the place!

Hands down best pizza in london. And I’ve tried 1000s of places over the years.

Excellent quality pizza, great service, good atmosphere. Excellent pasta. good wine Good Italian beer. at the higher levels. Not weird at all.

A good Neapolitan pizza not far from Notting Hill. Fast service.

The best pizza and good drinks. Reasonably priced.

Super rude staff, poor atmosphere, zero value for money.

A corner of Italy with true Italian flavors. Everything I ate was up to par. Super in everything.

Propre, efficace, trop bon. Service efficace. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande à 100%, nous nous sommes régalés

The real Neapolitan pizza, made by Italians with quality ingredients!

La vera pizza Napoletana fatta da Italiani che amano l'Italia, con ingredienti di qualità superiore. Prezzi non eccessivi!

I had a great time if I could give 10 stars I would and the staff were very friendly. Plus they support Roma like me.🐺

Very good Italian food, great pizzas, very attentive service

If you want to have real Italian food and pizza, this is the place and also for an amazing price! I loved it! The pizza was really good and the gnocchi too. Aperol spritz, yeah!

Yummy pizza and the dough is just how I like it. They also offer vegan and gluten free option but expect the gluten free pizza to be rather flat and not as fluffy as the normal ones. It can get quite hot in the restaurant because they do have a pizza oven so wear layers if you plan to visit!

Having visited The Farina restaurant on multiple occasions due to its convenient location, I've sampled much of their menu. While the food quality is good and the pizzas are enjoyable, they don't particularly stand out. On the upside, their delivery service is prompt, with us never waiting for more 20 minutes for our pizzas. However, there are some notable drawbacks. The staff's demeanor leaves much to be desired; they often come across as disinterested and quite unwelcoming. This lack of friendliness has made some of our visits uncomfortable, with one waitress consistently appearing unhappy. It's rare to encounter a staff member who genuinely smiles, (in fact we have only had one waitress smile at us). Moreover, attention to detail seems to be lacking. During a recent quiet visit, the absence of background music created an awkward atmosphere. Additionally, there have been several instances where parts of our order were forgotten, such as dips, drinks, or even basic tableware, necessitating reminders. The dips, in particular, are served in very small quantities, which is disappointing given the price. During our last visit, we found only one napkin on the table, which we had to share after noticing the staff's reluctance to assist us. Despite their witnessing our predicament, no offer was made to rectify the situation. It was disheartening to observe one staff member watching as we split the napkin, yet failing to offer us a new one. Furthermore, we've noticed the staff actively avoiding eye contact when we need their service to remind them of forgotten items that we have ordered. (This would be understandable if they were understaffed/busy, but the venue has always been quiet during our visits) While the food is decent, the unfriendly staff and their disregard for details have detracted from the overall experience. I believe there are better pizza places in the Notting Hill area with friendlier service. This has not been a unique experience as some friends and family of mine have also visited this restaurant and have also had similar experiences and noted the unfriendly staff. I will not be returning to Farina for a while due to this as there are many nicer Notting Hill restaurants, however I hope in future when I do visit their staff service will have improved.

I would start from the service, kind and fast. Even if they made a mistake they fixed it immediately and without problems. The environment was a little anonymous but in the end I had to eat and not feel like I was having dinner with the queen. Food; well, we felt like we were in Italy; good, plentiful and simple dishes.

All perfect!! Super recommended for a good, truly Italian pizza, but also excellent pasta and dessert! 👌

Great Napoletana style pizza. I loved all the ingredients! I enjoyed it with a nice glass of Montepulciano. It was lunch time, so the place was fairly quiet. Will go back next time I am in London!

Packet ham + packet mushrooms = packet pizza. Would go back for cheap Chianti before the pizza.

A consistently good pizzeria in Notting Hill. The quality of the ingredients is very good with flavours that work very well together. The dough may not be as light as in other Neapolitan pizzerias. Service is always kind (particularly from the Italian lady at the front desk) and the atmosphere is friendly/familial.

No complaints at all. Pizza was so authentic and excellent service.

The worst part I loved pizza from somewhere else which made this one isn’t that good. But still Neapolitan style it is very good. Fresh tomato sauce and delicious cheese

When I pass through London... always... go... a corner of Italy, excellent food... it feels like home

A delicious, fresh and very generously topped pizza (just needed a little more salt in my opinion...). Staff were great, and even surprised us with a free birthday tiramisu - the best one I've ever eaten! Highly recommend

Absolutely recommend! Pizza was super good and the workers were super nice. I’m from Tuscany and currently live in Chicago so my pizza standards are HIGH! Highly recommend the pizza and calzone. Grazie for the authentic pizza and service.

Best pizza in town. Excellent service, fair prices. Totally recommended

Great food and service. Waitress was patient and friendly.

They lost a star because there was a slight mistake with my order but this is best pizza I've ever had. We had Italian people eating on tables both sides of us and I spoke to one of them and they said it was very good. Its not expensive either. I recomnend it and I will go again.

Very noisy. The Carabian or African waiter just come to my table remove my dish i had finished no a Hello no a smile. They i ask for a bill she brought the machine no talk no eye contact no Thank you. WOW! .I like the Pizza but the energy was no good. Maybe all that hair extensions are given her bad vibes.

Una pizza napoletana buonissima da provare le graffette fritte come dolce

I ordered Lasagna, there was no mince in my lasagna.

Para ser honesto la comida estaba buena, pero tuvimos un problema con el servicio. Hicimos un pedido por teléfono, nos pidieron 10min de tiempo para recogerlo. Estuve allí a los 10min y sólo tenían la pizza preparada ya salida del horno, el resto de comida tardaron 15min más en prepararla. Me quejé a la camarera italiana y me vaciló diciendome que la pizza estaba caliente dentro de la caja e incluso me la hizo tocar. Obviamente pasados 15min al llegar a casa justo al lado de la pizzería, la pizza estaba fría y la mozzarella ya solida, no valía para comerla. No volveremos por la mala gestión, no porqué la comida sea mala.
