Hey, Farina! in Liverpool

Food is amazing, really authentic Italian food with real Italian bread. Decent price as well and the gelato afterwards is the best in Liverpool.

Visited as part of the Liverpool Walking Food Tour schedule 29 Sept '24. Well recommended and will aim to come again. The array of food tried was just superb.

We had spinach arancini and a roasted vegetable pinsa which is a Roman pizza-like flatbread. The portions were generous and good value. The meal was tasty and the serving staff were friendly. We ate an early lunch so it was quiet but we will be returning to sample more of the menu!

Great place for pizza. Definitely be back.

Food absolutely delicious, and generous portions at very reasonable prices. My Fusili Salmon was the best I have ever had! Service was good, in pleasant surroundings. Our server was very attentive and efficient. Cakes to die for in the other side of restaurant, and so many and so much chocolate and ice cream to choose from. This was our first visit but certainly won't be the last. Thank you Hey Farina👍

Nice food ,friendly staff, and clean place

Very nice place, very nice service And the food is amazing, it's really worth visiting this place Everything was delicious and my stomach didn't hurt

We were there last night, we wanted pasta, more than satisfactory I would say, honest prices and the same goes for the desserts at the back of the connected restaurant....Andrea, a super friendly waiter from Potenza!!!👏

Found this " little gem". Went out of their way to make me g/ f panini . Lovely fresh food ,quick.service ,reasonably priced and lovely chocolate almond cake. 5 hours later after lunch I still full. Lovely ambience.

Nice and neat restaurant with a good selection of Italian food. Staff are very nice.

Beautiful clean restaurant. Food was beautiful, well presented and very tasty

Just grabbed a coffee to go, and it was delicious! Milk alernatives are available. ☕️

Lovely food sandwiches were amazing definitely going back for the pizza

Lovely pizza coffee exceptional real Italian flavours and feel

Hey Farina ! It was nice, very tasty , fresh food , we had spaghetti, spaghetto Hey,Farina and salmon salad. The staff were really nice and welcoming though.

Lovely food authentic Ingredients,

Lovely fine. £10 deal for main course and driink

Always lovely food. Fresh and great choice. Very reasonable for city centre too. Highly recommend.

Nice find this morning. We will be back 😀

Fabulous food. Found by accident, best lasagna ever. Really good seafood linguine. Coming from Suffolk will be sure to visit again when we visit Liverpool.

A familiar meal. Perfect portions and, most importantly, tasty.

Best place in Liverpool for Italian food. I love their bread as well.

What can I say, but they serve great food. I would say they serve restaurant food at cafe prices, a hidden gem. Staff friendly, efficient, and helpful. It's an extension of the coffee shop next door.

Love going to this Italian quarter, food, cakes and ice cream are all a real treat

SlwTs a great place to eat in . Menus are large so prepare to eat.

Had Forcaccia, Hey Farina and paid £5.80. It was nice, very soft and tasty. Only downside is that the dough was a bit salty so was quite thirsty whilst eating and after. The staff were really nice and welcoming though.

We happened to be in this restaurant today. (Tourists from Germany, wheelchair users) Very friendly service, good service. Both of our meals tasted excellent. We had Tagliatelle Bosco and the eggplant lasagna. Both were excellent. Definitely recommendable. However, I only give three points for the ambience; we found the music just too loud. But maybe that's just our German taste.

Love this place! Food is amazing. Raphael is amazing! Can't do enough to help. Lovely man. Brilliant service. Can't wait to go back! Carry on doing what you do please!

A Very noisy group of men were dining at the same time as we visited. I was appalled that dogs are allowed in the restaurant. I Appreciate he was only a small dog but he was being held up by the table by the owner. Feel that this is unacceptable when other people have to use this space after. Food was good.

I'm very disappointed, what happened to this cafe. We went every week for years and loved both the food and the atmosphere. However the last six months everything has gone downhill, and the last visit (today) was just a nightmare. We were kicked out only because I demanded quality service for the fee they set (payment for pizza). I won’t go to the cafe and never will give positive recommendation to anyone else! It's a shame that the new manager/owner has turned such a wonderful cafe into a terrible place!!!!! Sorry!

Visited this wonderful halal italian restaurant in Liverpool. It was jam-packed at around 3:30pm. They offer halal chicken and beef options. We ordered the Milanese - which was the fried chicken sandwich in sourdough. The bread was super fresh. Next up, my favourite was Carbonara - we got the chicken version, which was 10/10. Overall, loved this place, definitely recommended 👌🏻

To the very kind and caring waitress from the lady on the bike thankyou! Best lasagne in Liverpool. I have eaten out and this is THE BEST and you can be sure I'll be back. Thankyou 😊

The best place to eat in Liverpool

Really lovely authentic pasta. Super friendly service!

Lovely good and good service. Would highly recommend

Staff are so friendly. They treat everyone like VIPs and nothing is too much for them. Food is piping hot, made fresh and delicious. Will definitely go back.

Amazing food good service one of the best lasagne I've ever had everything was 5 star

Drawn in by the Cute little deli and immediately blown away by the food! (And the PRICE). In this current climate, it’s hard to eat out all the time but when we do, this Italian place will be top of our list. The food quality is up there with the 4-5 stars restaurants. These are the dishes we tried and oh god, they were all amazing especially the homemade ARACINI with a surprise inside: Aracini rice balls, meatballs, panzerotti, seafood linguine, croquettes!

Pretty expensive for just a snack, £5-6 for a cake, even if it was a very good one. Plenty of tables inside and outside and a great looking chocolate fountain. The savoury dishes looked delicious, the Spaghetti Hey Farina looked particularly amazing. Overall a great experience!

Excelente lugar para comer deliciosos bocadillos italianos y disfrutar de una bebida

First and last time here, had a hair in my food. I was offered another dish which I didn't want but no refund, will not got back there again. Didn't even say a word to us when we left.

The best. The most yummy Italian food in Liverpool

Great authentic Italian street food at good prices. Good staff and quick service.

Amazing little taste of Italy. Would recommend and will be returning. Great for little snacks or Italian tapas

Lovely food and happy smiling staff

ottimo tutto il titolare , cibo , qualita' cortesia , pulizia il titolare Gioacchino un gran lavoratore .

Qualità, cortesia, gentilezza e simpatia!!!! Personale qualificato e ottimo cibo! Se torno a Liverpool una scappata la faccio di certo

Good atmosphere, great food, nice and quick service, would always come back!

Had lovely meal before theatre visit. Staff friendly, music was loud and didn't fit the restaurant's theme but was turned down on request Would highly recommend.

Muy bueno todo, trato agradable y rápido servicio

OTTIMO POSTO IL PROPIETARIO GENTILISSIMO TUTTO OK

Great service, friendly staff, tasty food 👌

Really lovely, friendly and attentive staff. The food was delicious and very generous portions. Will definitely be coming here again. I honestly couldn’t fault it at all.

One of the best restaurants in Liverpool. Large portions but low prices, everything absolutely fresh and tasty. They show respect to their customers in every possible way. You should visit that place!

We enjoyed very much having our lunch here during our stay in my home town, Liverpool with my family who just happened to be all Italian's living in Switzerland. Lovely Management. 😍

Absolutely despicable the mannerism of ALL staff members in the upstairs restaurant!! Arrived at 9 am after Sunday service at church nearby and thought I’d treat myself to a nice breakfast as place looked of decent quality. I had a train to catch after so asked if I could place an order at the till rather than wait and the lady at till said no because ‘she needed a table number’ so I grabbed a menu and sat on a table but there was no table number to be found and took a moment to finalise what I want and with no time to waste got up to order at till as needed to go to the ladies also. The same lady and another lady behind the bar looked at me as if surprised. The pause whilst they looked at me felt so uncomfortable I had to repeat as they just kept looking at me like as if I was an alien?! So once again I repeated… Can I place an order now please and a man came from behind blue eyes around 6ft dark blonde hair… …’YOU CLEARLY DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS RESTAURANT SERVICE’ I politely replied I understand but I’m on my way to the ladies and there’s no table number but I’d like to be efficient (something that seemed lacking in the place) he raised his voice and my mood went from peaceful ( was in church moments earlier) to being like in hell!! I told him he was rude and ALL the staff members stood next to him supported him by giving my uncomfortable dirty looks. I stormed out nearly in tears shouting how rude they were and upset that I started my morning 7.30 in church to be encountered with RUDE people particularly the man upstairs. He clearly had issues he was bringing into work and to customers he chose to release his anger on but other staff near him looking at me disgustingly DID NOT apologise or explain in any nicer tone. There was nothing polite or customer service worthy and first visit here is obviously my last. For me manners come first even if you aren’t a friendly person it is a choice to be pleasant particularly at work which I hope these people learn should be to all and not just the rich looking customers as it seemed they were also judging me for not coming across well off. Absolutely disgusted and now I’ll spend rest of my Sunday lifting my mood destroyed by ignorant rude and clearly very unfriendly staff. Shame on you!

Absolutely love this place!! Great food.. Fresh ingredients and the bread is made in the premises. Staff are always friendly

Espectacular restaurante italiano en el centro de Liverpool. Muy recomendable por todo.

Świetne jedzenie, przemiła obsługa, atmosfera niczym we włoskiej restauracji. Ale przede wszystkim jedzenie super.

I didn’t really get to try much since the server kept ogling at me and my family even though we told her we came in to look at the bread and other stuff (not to sit down). It felt really uncomfortable like I wasn’t allowed to browse anything. Mind you I did want to buy one of the bread loafs.

Called in as part of a food tour and was amazed at the quality of the food, absolutely fabulous and lovely staff. Can't wait to call in again.

Excellent food and service. Delicious bread. Great expirience.

A great place with surprisingly cheap prices. The food was fantastic, from their pinces to the paninis to the many pastas, all felt high-quality and made with care. My Gnocchi was phenomenal, and the cheese blend felt seamless. The service was also very quick and friendly. Don't let the prices fool you, just one item off the menu is enough to feed a whole person despite it being less than 15$ per plate. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service from Kelly who managed to get us a table when it was exceptionally busy. Food was great.

Very nice place with Italian food and drinks! I had delicious carbonara and cappuccino 👍 Perfect place for a quick meal alone, with friends or family. 100 recommended

Super atmosfera bardzo miły lokal

1st time here will be back very soon. Foccacia ham and cheese was amazing service 10/10

Terrible attendance. The food is ok, the juice is horrible, they charge a lot to serve juice from the worst quality box and when you go to complain they treat you as if they were doing you a favor and not as a customer. I gave the place a second chance and it was even worse. I do not recommend. There are other Italian restaurants in Liverpool so as far as I'm concerned Hey Farina may be out of business!

Great salad bowl! In my case, a large portion of green leaves, topped with steamed veggies and grilled chicken. My partner preferred a lasagna, which was fine, but not that good to ask for it again. In short, reasonable price for good food. The staff was super attentive but often interrupted our meal to grab items from our table and take them to another, such as the parmesan bowl, olive oil bottle, or pepper grind. Also, the music needed to be quieter and in the restaurant style.

The overall quality of the food was good, with dishes made from quality ingredients. The lasagna, in particular, was enjoyable, although the ragú lacked a bit of flavor. I must commend your staff for their friendly and helpful service, as they made my arrival in Liverpool smooth and pleasant. However, I found the music volume unnecessarily loud.

Amazing Italian food and the friendly staff and incredible coffee - this place is a must visit for everyone

We go very often, place is lovely , food fresh and tasty , would highly recommend.

The 3 stars are only because the (blonde) Italian manager was very unfriendly to me but suddenly became super friendly with the person (and persons!) after me in the queue. I’m wondering if it’s because I wear a headscarf? The rest of the staff were super friendly though.

Order came quickly, food was delicious, amazing wine & beer. Can tell ingredients are best quality. Here from Melbourne & would love to come again x

We loved everything about this wonderful little restaurant - especially the friendly service and delicious food! The bruschetta and fresh bread made wonderful appetizers. I loved my lasagna - and cannolis were the best I’ve ever had- many flavors to choose from but pistachio was my favorite!

Ci sono stato 2 volte ed ogni volta mi son sentito A CASA. Ragazzi del personale sorridenti, titolari attenti a farti sentire bene e soprattutto si mangia benissimo!

Fantastic authentic Italy restaurant/coffee shop. Food is delicious, friendly staff. Great value for money. A must if you love Italian food or if you just love coffee and cake 😍

Friendly, welcoming staff, amazing atmosphere, speedy service. Food surpassed my expectations, especially for how affordable everything on the menu was. Decent portion sizes as well, definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Friendly, welcoming staff, quick turnaround, lovely vibe/decorations and incredible food! Prices were very reasonable for the quality too, highly recommend the carbonara.

Excellent quick Italian meal. Brilliant staff and prompt service. We’ll definitely come back.

At the heart of the Italian Quarter, a family business by the Cillo Family over the decade. The italian quarter spread across four floors. Each member of the Cillo family takes care of different parts of the business. Today, my second time visiting and reviewing Hey Farina. Fresh ingredients denoting and refleciny the healthy aspect of the Mediterranean diet. I went for a chicken wrapp £8,50, my nephew recommended spaghetti. Hey Farina, as the bestselleracoording to the very kind and professional waiter, Rafael. I would love to come back and try other food from the menu. The audience was very diverse: families with children and few Asian families, which denotes how the restaurant serves the broad range of communities.

this is a true space of Italy in Liverpool they have a coffee with sensational sweets and they have expanded the space with Pizzas and Italian dishes, delicious salads and a special price to come back often !!

Very tasty all of those, one of the best in town

Stopped in here with friends, staff were all very pleasant and helpful, food was prepared fresh and was very tasty. The dessert were especially good.

This is a new spot in town but it deserves the hype it is already getting. The carbonara is the best I’ve had in the city - the pasta is fresh and the meat is good quality. There is a large selection of sides, I loved the Hey Farina focaccia (with potato!), the crispy pepperoni focaccia and the pesto focaccia which is green! The staff are always so friendly and appreciative of your custom. The value is amazing, especially for the portions of pasta and for getting 2 bits of focaccia per portion. It’s a no pressure type vibe where you don’t need to dress up but you know you’ll leave feeling full and very content. The best Italian spot in town.

the best Italian restaurant not only in Liverpool but in the whole world. Great food, excellent service and cozy place.

Looks like a cafe but the food surpasses many restaurants and the staff are lovely. We visited here on Friday night on a whim and received a lovely warm welcome from the team. The menu contained quite a few things I'd not seen before and the staff were really helpful in explaining what things were. Their recommendations were superb btw. The food was cooked freshly (behind the counter... Which I thought was a cool touch) and the chef brought it over himself. I can't rave enough about the chef, he was everything you want - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and really proud of what he'd prepared for us. We will definitely be back here with friends - I can't find a fault with this place and there are loads of interesting things on the menu that we want to try.

Lovely place to eat. Very friendly staff. Food was great.

Really good Italian bistro, DELICIOUS small plates made with fresh ingredients and the best Italian coffee

Absolutely fab.. hidden gem, so many times I was passing by. The food is so simple and tasty. Great place to stop for a coffee as well

Great food and service would definitely recommend

Very cheerful and kind staff! Loud music but ambience is great- a cute lil soho like cafe just italian :)- made me miss my London days. Great pasta choices and sandwiches! The only downside was ravioli served was an extremely small portion for the price. However the salmon pasta made up for it. Thank you we enjoyed our brunch.

wonderful! impeccable food (veg) and service

We visited today, it was a busy Sunday lunch service but we were served quickly with a panzerotto starters, and drinks. We both had a pasta dish. My wife had a beautiful beef dish that we joke was like an 'Italian Scouse' it was full of flavour, the beef melted in your mouth in a rich oniony broth with fragrant rosemary. I had the ravioli which was delicious with panchetta and a beautiful sauce that finished with a kick of feenel. As someone who prides himself in his espresso Martinis I had to try thier version, and I wasn't disappointed, it was beautiful with a hint of sweet hazelnut syrup but with that bitter coffee kick. Quality all around. Will definitely return, and Hey Farina! will be getting recommended to all of our friends. I'd also like to put in a good word for Raphael, who always makes sure I'm looked after when I pop in before a Sunday shift for a coffee. Excellent customer service.

Hermoso lugar te atienden rápido, muy buena onda las mozas , muy rica la comida tal vez siendo de Argentina le falta condimento. Igual riquisimo

Absolutely beautiful fresh food amazing service by ralph just perfecto if you are look for a hidden gem it's here

The restaurant is quite small, with around 40 covers, although it actually merges into Paolo & Donato's Italian Deli, when you walk through the back left. Food is OK. Service and atmosphere are good. There are around 12 seats outside with heated canopies outside to keep you warm and rain free. This forms part of a new 'Italian Quarter' that is trying to be formed, just off Williamson Square.

Amazing place and amazing food and staff 😊

All Italian chef and food, wonderful!
