The Adelaide Food Guide 2010 "When it comes to designer restaurants. Farina owners Matthew and Olivia Trim know what they are doing. Their other ventures"

Gourmet Traveller 2010 Australian Restaurant Guide Score: * "Don't be fooled by the doodling on the walls and the cheeky welcome - there is serious intent in this hip basement space. The mod Scandinavian-style interior appeals, but the sharp Italian menu is the drawcard"

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland "In a comer of one of the CBD's more fashionable squares, this happy basement bar and restaurant has an appealing industrial meets Scandinavian vibe to its style with a next-gen Italian menu, very smart wines and young, savvy staff who bring a genuinely 'now' approach to the drink and dine experience here"

Age Good Food Guide 2009 "Basement-dwelling Farina's clean lines, yellow, white and black squiggly walls and low pendant lighting are very Scandinavian in style; the menu excellent modern Italian, whether enjoyed as shared small plates or a more structured meal"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 "Excellent modern Italian, either shared small plates or as a more traditional three-courser in a space of Scandinavian clean lines"

Gourmet Traveller 2009 Australian Restaurant Guide Score: * "Tucked below deck on the western edge of Hindmarsh Square, Farina is pitched perfectly at Adelaide's younger hipsters. The playful mural and white and timber furnishings echo apartment chic"

Adelaide Advertiser Deborah Bogle, 19-9-2007 Score: 15.5/20 "Well-prepared Italian fare served in a lively space with an appealing, all-hours vibe."
