Over rated and over priced; we went here since we like to try out all the local spots to support small businesses; no prices advertised on any items; we were rushed to make a decision on ordering. To top it off; our waitress pretended she had an Italian accent and said everything was from Italy so we ordered a pistachio drink with whipped cream thinking they would whip it nice and fresh - turns out it was right out of the Trader Joe's can - such a let down!! My daughter ordered a peach iced tea - she was handed a bottle of iced tea; what a joke!!Ambiance is nice however the prices are outrageous- we won't be back!! read more

Very limited menu, considering we visited on a weekend. But the food was very fresh and delicious. We got the basil mozzarella pizza and the vegan sandwich which surprisingly my kid really liked. We also got the ricotta cheese muffin and the Nutella tart both of which were fluffingly good. On my repeat list. read more

I had a date here on recommendation from my niece who lives in the area. She was right on the money. The food was absolutely delicious, the people were very nice, and pastries and desserts and cappuccino etc. we're all fresh and homemade and luscious. I only wish that I was not an hour away from there because I'd love to be back every week. read more

Engaging and charming atmosphere suggestive of the incredibly delicious food they create, especially the Nutella croissant! The staff was very nice and accommodating read more

My husband loves this place for the food, the atmosphere and the owner & Staffs. I love getting the ham and cheese croissant and the Nutella croissant (the little one). They also have great coffee and fresh squeeze OJ. My little loves that he gets to eat chocolate here. All in all, we are very happy and will return many more times! read more

We would travel all the way to Asbury just to get a quality meat and cheese plate and some wine, as all local restaurants usually require a big dinner, etc. I saw other Yelpers post about a meat and cheese plate which immediately caught my eye. You will NOT be disappointed. Between the high-quality ingredients, truffle balls (which look like caviar but taste even better somehow) and the great service, this is NOT a place to be missed. I was there for a late lunch/early dinner, we BYO'd (even though I was told they do well wine) and were blown away. Welcome to town Farinolo! (And a plus outside tables I believe are dog-friendly!) read more

The only downside of Farinolio is that it is not close enough to me! There is literally nothing else like it in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. The attention to detail includes super high quality ingredients and simple combinations of fresh crusty Italian breads and tasty toppings. And you cannot ask for a nicer, friendlier staff who really do care about the customers. I would be there every day if I lived closer. If you cannot make it to Italy, go to Farinolio; its the next best thing! read more

The Italian specialty bakery has very fresh selection of goodies, with breakfast and lunch hours. Apparently there may be some evening hours. They have salads now. I have not tried the salads but the baked goods and savory items are tasty and fresh. The service is spotty and not friendly. There are samples that never seem to available for sampling. I think the staff should be more friendly and better at communicating about their products?and answering their customers inquiries. read more

My entire family loves this place. They offer a salad option now, which is fabulous!

Wanted to try something different for brunch here in Westfield and found this place. A 5 star review is an understatement. This was absolutely delicious. We tried a couple different things and ALL were delicious. Not one bad thing to say. This place is legit! read more

We finally tried farinolio and I'm so glad we did!! Stopped in for a quick breakfast to go.. ended up choosing the Nutella croissant and custard croissant. Both were AMAZING!! My husband doesn't typically like pastries and he was raving about the food. So fresh and delicious. There are a lot of pastry options for breakfast or dessert and I can't wait to try more! They also have delicious looking sandwiches and cheese plates. Will definitely be back for a nice cheese plate and wine lunch! read more

Read about this place in the Star Ledger and it didn't disappoint. Amazing prosciutto sandwich and wonderfully buttery cookies. Great service. Worth the long trip, definitely will return. read more

This place is "IT". Loved every bite. The sandwich was fresh and sooo good. I had the salami, pecorino and arugula. The bread they use is absolutely out of this world. The Torta Della Nonna was amazing. Buttery and not too sweet with a creamy custard. I had the small bread with cherry tomatoes in the center (can't remember the name) delicious. The service was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely recommend this to everyone and I can't wait to return. read more

This place was delicious. GF and I split two sandwiches - plenty of food the focaccia was done perfectly. Friendly owner and staff - place is bright clean and inviting. Definitely coming back read more

So I tried this place today. I got something very basic as I do on a first visit. I got a fresh mozzarella and tomato sandwich. They serve it on focaccia which is really my only problem with the place. Focaccia is pretty basic and eat to prepare if you can bake at all. It's something with a nice crust and airy chewy inside and usually but not always flavored with olive oil salt and maybe some herbs. This focaccia was bone dry, flaky even. It had all the flavor of a communion wafer. Tomato was mediocre but it's April so my expectations were low anyway. The mozzarella was fine. Neither excellent or terrible. It's crazy how hard it is to get a good sandwich these days. And it's not at all inexpensive. Honestly, I'm happy to pay up but this place is yet another disappointing experience. - Following up since the owner responded---I appreciate your response, but the fact is, it wasn't flaky and crispy. It was bone dry. If you made sandwiches to order instead of ahead of time you'd have the opportunity to make sure everything is fresh. It wasn't. Since I'm following up the cake slice I got was also quite dried out except in the very center. I worked in food service for years. Putting out product like this is just bad business. read more

I had the best sandwich I've ever had in NJ. I've been all through Italy, and this restaurant is Italy! I had the salami with fennel (finocchio) Heaven! They make their own bread. I wish I lived in Westfield, but a visit once in awhile will keep me happy. Thank you read more

Last weekend was my first time in this lovely Cafe/Bakery. I came from Brooklyn to visit family in Westfield. The selections were wonderful and the staff was extremely helpful! I will definitely be back soon!! read more

Don't miss Thursday nights! Take a trip down a Tuscany with their delicious dinner offerings.

The BEST cappuccino. Love this place! High quality ingredients - food is so fresh and flavorful. The Abbati and Signorini sandwiches are so tasty. Ordered a few weekly dinners and the soups are so good. read more

I travel to Milan a lot for work and Farinolio is authentic high-quality Italian right here in Westfield. The bread / focaccia is delicious and the meats are the highest quality. The sweets are wonderful. You don't need to get on a plane to experience a genuine Italian breakfast or lunch. This isn't an Italian-American sandwich shop. This is an _Italian_ Italian sandwich / pastry shop with a genuinely Italian menu. The proprietor, Francesco, is as warm and welcoming as you could want. He'll explain anything you're wondering about and is very helpful. This place is a gem. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! BEST homemade bread and sandwiches around. They take pride in finding top of the line ingredients as well as sourcing local. Owners are passionate people with a focus on customer service and quality. Indoor and outdoor seating now available but check store hours as their summer days have just changed. This is my favorite sandwich locale in NJ!!! read more

Simply the best. This is a real, authentic Italian cafe-restaurant, run by two Tuscans who have a lot to offer. Enjoy. read more

Excellent breads and sandwiches. Loved the fillings and thankfully the cold cuts were not overly salty. The cookies were good too. Must visit....has sidewalk tables. read more

Italian food, with Italian style! You can breath and taste what really comes from Tuscany, the smell, the fragrancy of flat bread, freshly baked biscuits, all mixed with the historical names coming from one of most beautiful city in the world, Firenze, when everything started! Don't worry, if you hear people speaking Italian, it means you're in the right place. The lovely sound will take you through the time door, straight to Italy! read more

backyard wedding daughter asked for a charcuterie board over the top. That lead me to check out bakeries and deli's. Being NNJ Italian i know the best of the best in the area and what she wanted I don't think could have been delivered to the level she wanted without finding a Bakery/Deli that delivered the entire package. I called and talk to the catering expert incredible women Laura Orlando and i described what my daughter was looking for. Laura understood my request and said i will put together a menu for you to see. within two days i had a menu that looks like it came from the Tuscany for real, living in Europe for many years i can say that with confidence. Homemade breads high end meats prosciutto dried sausage fresh bruschetta artichoke hearts farm fresh tomatoes a full vegetarian lay out as well as a cheese and meat lay out fresh olives roasted peppers. I can say nothing cam out of any jar. The menu was in my opinion over the top! however the setup is what my daughter wanted an artistic approach to as well. Laura showed up an hour before, it was 90 plus degrees and food prep had to be done indoors to not risk any food damage. she worked with the servers on how long and what should be set up and controlled the entire time making sure everything was perfect to the last piece of bread. It was perfect the food the set up and the control to make sure no guest received anything that wasn't perfectly presentable. two weeks after the wedding i am still getting calls from family member specifically about the charcuterie table and Laura and the prep work she did. The working environment for Laura i figured she would run when she walked in my kitchen she was greeted by 2 150 lb. dogs a 6 week old kitten and a 4 lb dog, my 6 adult children flower girls setting up flowers and she didn't even blink an eye. incredibly professional and delivered the best of the best! thank you Farinolio for the food and truly over the top service from Laura! read more

Everything they make is really really good. Problem is, for such a major kitchen operation, they seem to have such few options. I'd like to see them expand the menu a bit. read more

Was feeling homesick for Italy after a recent trip to Napoli, and went in search of my favorite breakfast: cappuccino e cornetto. The chef/bakers made me 2 dozen cornetti to take to work, to share a taste of Italy with my friends. Amazing bakery and coffee, will definitely be back for lunch soon! read more

Nice new place in Westfied. Excellent cappuccino. Pastries look amazing. They Taste as good as they look. Smells so good you are tempted to order one of each. Staff is friendly and engaging. Will be back! read more

Awesome new place to have a casual snack and couple glasses of wine. Everything we sampled was delicious!

So this place is absolutely tremendous. The bread on their sandwhiches is light but crunchy and the ingredients are super fresh. The desserts in the window I'm sure are great. They have an open kitchen was is nice to see everything being made while also visualizing how clean the kitchen is kept. This place fits Westfield like peanut butter & jelly. Great restaurant. read more
