Based on the reviews, we stopped by for lunch. The only vegetarian sandwich option was tomato with mozzarella on their 'homemade' bread. So disappointed. Besides that the bread was hard, the tomatoes weren't good either. Got the end slice with green in the center. My husband's margarita pizza was nothing special. For the price and taste, we would not recommend and won't be returning. So many options for lunch in Westfield, we will go elsewhere if we return. 2 * review (instead of 1) for the helpful lady behind the counter. read more

The absolute best sandwiches and best pastries I've ever eaten in my entire 37 years on this planet. The beautiful, perfect bread is made with ingredients that you can taste are leagues beyond anything found in any other restaurant I've ever been to. And then they use that bread to create sandwiches that ALSO contain even more insanely delicious, fresh, artisanal, elite ingredients. People I know who have issues with digesting gluten can comfortably and happily eat everything here with zero negative impact. That's basically a miracle. My boyfriend and I brought his very Italian, very critical grandma a sandwich from here, and after a single bite, she just stared at us with awe and said "it tastes like Italy". If I had to choose a last meal, it would be their borrani sandwich with fig jam, one of their Nutella brioscia, and a latte. I'd post a pic of my food, but I got distracted by eating it and forgot read more

Delicious bread and pastries. Friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly! Stumbled on this place when wandering one weekend and saw people outside eating amazing looking sandwiches. So glad we tried it and looking forward to going back. read more

They have authentic Italian sandwiches. Slightly crackly, air pocketed bread with fresh meats and cheeses... Will definitely be back. The iced cappuccino had a strong espresso flavor. The store also has a bunch of imported Italian merchandise which makes it even more endearing. Just wasn't a huge fan of the pastries we had, like the Torta Della Nonna which had overcooked jelly-like pastry cream, but I still want to try some others because they looked fantastic. read more

Came across this place on a search for friend's birthday lunch, finally got to visit, and did not disappoint. Yes, slightly pricey, but certainly worth its price point as every bite was enjoyable. Ordered 2 apricot jam cookies, 1 chocolate dipped shortbread heart cookie, a chocolate custard, and venchi chocolate bar. Will be revisiting to try everything else!! Place is cute and clean as well, and the girl who rang us up had the most charming Italian accent! read more

First rate cappucino and pastries, lots of outdoor tables and friendly folks are great attributes. I thought it was too pricey to be called a good value, but future visits may change my mind. read more

Awesome breakfast/brunch place! Ah, the ingredients are so fresh, even the salt has a distinct taste. The cornetto formaggio con cotto and focaccine all'olio are tasty if you're in the mood for salty. I recommend those for breakfast. You also can't go wrong with any of the Tuscan croissants. If you're going for brunch/lunch, grab a sandwich. I can't even with their bread, lol. The schiacciata toscana is filling but you'll still want more because it's that delicious. read more

Authentic Italian sandwiches and pastries that are ridiculously good. The baker is from Florence and if you've ever eaten in a similar type of sandwich shop in Italy, you will think you are back there. Annette and Francesco, the owners are hospitable and friendly and with a long communal table, the place has a wonderful casual yet cool atmosphere. For a casual meal, it's not cheap but it's well worth it, you can taste the quality of the ingredients (mozzarella, tomatoes, olive oils, etc) in every delicious bite. I suggest going with a group and ordering a bunch of sandwiches quartered so you can taste a bit of everything. My personal favorite so far is the "Signorini" which is with salami but everything is so so good. You really can't go wrong. We brought out of town guests from L.A. and they were blown away by not just the food but the total experience. Our 9 year old kept talking about how good it was the next day. Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazingly delicious. The staff is super nice and the little bake goods are very delicious. I love their Italian pound cake. My friend got some sandwiches and she loves them. The iced cappuccino is so refreshing too! My new go to read more

I haven't been there but my husband and I can't wait to visit. We're foodies, love fine wines, we love to cook and entertain. We also love to visit new places, give new places business and develop a nice rapport with the owners. When my husband & I saw some peoples comments, my husband and I said, they should go to Burger King and have it their way. Good luck, stay well & safe. read more

Excelllent panninis and desserts. Great service. Loved the decor. Overall a cute cafe to hang out and enjoy good food!

Takes me back to Firenze! My daughter and I had brunch here today and I can't enough nice things about this gem. The sandwich and focaccia were both delicious. It reminded me so much of the sandwich/pizza place in the San Lorenzo mercado. The service was great and the place is spotless! read more

So happy to have an authentic Northern Italian bakery/café in middle of Westfield. Quaint shop chock full of delicious cookies,tarts, croissants, sandwiches. Brought a big box of these goodies to the family and was an instant hit! "Where did you buy these, I feel like it came straight out of Italy" was the reaction I got from the family. We as a family (with an Italian born Mom from Livorno in Tuscany) are Nutella aficionados, so this is the place if you are one also! Nutella tarts, Nutella mini stuffed cookies, Nutella filled croissants and jam filled cookies were the main attraction for this first timer at "Farinolio". Oh and I did have a ham and cheese croissant in store for a quick bite. Delicious, flaky and so buttery flavorful. Yum! Can't wait to go back, and try some other yummy treats like the Focacce, cutting boards with cured meats, and Italian wine to go with it, and relax in this cute shop. Their late night is Thursday, open til 10. So run to this place as soon as you can and try true, Italian deliciousness. Bravissimi!! read more

We were charmed indeed to visit Farinolio for afternoon coffee today. Our 5 year old, Eliana, insisted on bellying up to the counter with the clementine, Goldfish, and apple brought from home. Before we could say, "Viva Italia!", the proprietor, Francesco, had won her heart with a warm star-shaped cookie and even warmer smile. They chatted as he rang up a steady stream of other customers. Francesco and his colleagues truly embody graciousness - and they have won over a wee little customer with their kindness and high quality product. And for those who were wondering...their latte was amazing and packed a caffeine punch! Grazie from a happy Westfield family! read more

Food is fresh, made every morning by the bakers. Sandwiches vary by day, the schiacciata bread is to die for! read more

We have been coming here since they opened and it was great to have an Italian place to get a cup of coffee and a pastry. We loved it! but recently it hasn't been a pleasant experience going in. The people they have working there are not friendly. The one girl who has been there for a while just gives dirty looks. And recently there were 3 girls working and when we got there-no other customers were there. Two other families came after us and they took care of them before us. Just makes you feel uncomfortable. Maybe some customer service training. read more

Been here on many occasions during normal operating hours and it's always been a wonderful experience. Francesco and his wife and whole team are simply wonderful, and the food is outstanding. When thinking of a place to host a team event, I decided to explore my options at Farinolio instead of another boring and mundane dinner at some standard restaurant. I'm so glad I did. Francesco our together a private event for us that included an olive oil tasting followed by a culinary adventure! The food was beyond delicious and the whole team made sure the night was an experience, rather than just another dinner. Such a great option for a get together amongst friends or family too. Can't wait to plan our next event here. Thank you!!!!! Grazie mille!!! read more

Love this place! Came for lunch and got a pizza and a pastry. Both not only looked delicious but we're. The dough was so fluffy while still maintaining a hard outside crust. The atmosphere was very cozy and they made sure that every table was cleaned as soon as people got up to leave. Definitely can't wait to come back. read more

Very nice, very clean and super friendly people. Just one thing, maybe not to many people order macchiatos cause the young lady gave me this in the picture. Still very good but not a macchiato unless you do a Starbucks version. Overall very nice and we will be back read more

Great food and fast service. I've been there like 8 times this week and it's only gotten better. Would DEFFINITLY recommend.

Fresh, simple, quality ingredients that make their food like no other. On top of the extremely helpful and outgoing staff, the vibe makes you feel like you're at a little hole in the wall in Italy. Could not recommended this enough for anyone who is looking for a sandwhich read more

I studied abroad in Florence and missed it so much when I came home that I moved back there after graduating college. I have recently returned home after living there for a year and finally went to Farinolio for a long overdue visit and I couldn't be more impressed! Everything from the atmosphere, to the staff, to the quality of their food made me feel like I was right back in my beloved Italy. They have an incredible selection of both sweet and savory to satisfy any craving. I had the Banti (spek, stracchino, & arugula) and it did not disappoint! The stracchino may have been some of the best I've ever had (and trust me - I've had a whole lot) and the bread was baked so perfectly... you can really tell that they truly care about the quality of everything they are serving. My only complaint would be that the servings should be bigger because it was so delicious I could have eaten ten more if I let myself! I can't wait to get back ASAP. Grazie mille! read more

Great spot in Westfield feels like you're walking in to a little cafe or bakery in Italy. Food is good. Took home one of their premade sandwiches. It was good but the brag was a little hard. I guess from sitting out all day. Decided to put it on my panini press and it made all the difference. Definitely doing that again. Maybe they have one there and can do it. Next time I want to their pizza. Looks really good. Staff and owners are really friendly. Price isn't cheap but it's understandable based on location and the detail to the store! read more

Sweet bakery goods and savory flatbreads /sandwich were pretty good. I can't remember the names we got but we liked the flatbreads with prosciutto that comes with arugula and truffled butter, also the one with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. As for desserts, we got the one with sweet rice pudding on a crust, cream puffs and some cookies. The pastries weren't too sweet. Everything we got was enjoyable, however they are pricey. One flatbread will cost you around $13-$15. Great for breakfast, brunch, and coffee. They also have charcuterie available. read more

I wasn't impressed. Overpriced, but what isn't these days. Wouldn't go back. I was there around closing time but even so, they didn't do enough to make me want to give it another try. From what I can remember the food was good. Nothing to brag about read more

What can I say? I love this place! It's been open for 5 weeks and I've been there 5 times, and each time it's been something delicious! Farinolio is my go to spot for amazing food, great customer service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether there with a friend or my family, the staff have been kind and attentive. This place definitely filled a void in our downtown and gives it a more cosmopolitan feel. Thanks, Farinolio! read more

Finalmente! Sorprendente! Delicious and authentic the food is much better than what my friends who are frequently eating or ordering from this place have said. The location of the restaurant is optimal in Westfield, NJ. Clean and inviting, once inside you don't want to leave. The food is incredibly fresh and well apportioned. The staff are clean, professional with the proper knowledge and even the correct pronunciation of Italian from the menu. I look forward to my next visit. read more

This place is so freakin good. Every little detail of their food is a treat in its self. From the first bite into the bread that is crunchy and salted to perfection..to the cheese that spreads perfectly..and the meat that is so fresh. I've never had anything like it. The desserts are out of this world. That Nutella from Italy is redic. Everything is so fresh I can't stop coming here for lunch. read more

So good but also pricey! I don't mind, though, because everything here has been delicious and impeccable. The focaccia is unlike any focaccia I've tried before - so light and crisp. The Nutella filled croissants are very addictive! The sandwiches are expensive around $10-12 but quite filling; just eat slowly and savor it! This is a treat for us on the weekends, definitely not an every day thing. The prices are worth it. read more

My favorite place for coffee the jelly donuts are the best. I love their salads too. Can't beat the friendly staff. Cookies Sandwich's on the most crispy bread. A must try in Westfield read more

I catered a party for 20 people from Farinolio. The food was delicious, the presentation (individual platters with covers and bows and carry bags) was purely professional and it was very easy to order from the friendly folks behind the counter. Pizzetas, sandwiches, pastries and deserts : all exceeded expectations and were of the quality you would expect from a small Italian restaurant in the hills of Tuscany. I would highly recommend Farinolio for business lunches, parties or a quick bite. Truly original and a fresh change from heavy "Americanized" Italian food: Well Done! Thank you read more

I may be addicted! I have been twice this week, even though it's a 30 minute drive. The bread is SUPERB. The sandwiches are simple yet beautifully composed, with fresh and tasty ingredients. I've tried many new cured meats and cheeses and enjoyed everything I've eaten. My favorite pastry is the schiacciata all'uva: amazing bread baked with rosemary, walnuts, and grapes, with crisp edges and granulated sugar for texture. It is so interesting and memorable. I have told everyone I know how special this place is and have purchased many items to share with others. Love supporting this local business and you should too! read more

Head spinningly delicious, ultra yum, amazing quality, and really nice staff, go quickly before I buy your sandwich
