I read that this is a good place to find a great bottle of wine, and it's true. Old World Market will satisfy the indulgent, bougie food lover in you -- the food lover who likes pretty charcuterie boards made from thinly sliced prosciutto shaped into flowers. And it will indulge the wine lover in you -- the one who likes a good glass of wine. It's a small store. Surprisingly small, actually! But along with wine and meats and cheeses, you'll find specialty food items like Swedish Pippi Longstocking candy (what?), pasta in all shapes and sizes, cookies, teas, oils and lots of imported goodies. You'll mostly find food imported from Europe: Italy and Nordic countries, specifically. They offer readymade sandwiches and small charcuterie boxes to go, for those of us who want to live deliciously but also have stuff to do elsewhere. Basically, this is a great place to visit to find something delectable to eat or drink in Valparaiso.

Great selection of meats and cheeses! Gem of a find. Will definitely be going back soonread more

What an absolute unexpected delight! My boyfriend and I found ourselves in the area (between South…read moreBend and Chicago) and didn't have high expectations for finding something for dinner that wasn't fast food. Boy were we WRONG! And we're so glad we were!!! Pizza Terra is delicious! We split a Margherita pizza and the orecchiette pasta. Both were truly fantastic! And the service couldn't have been better! Everyone was so friendly, humble, and helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves! Oh and we added on some crusty bread and a soda - and the bill was only fifty bucks! Not too shabby :) The music was enjoyable too. John Mayer, Mumford and sons, just good vibes. We may just find ourselves making an annual trip to Indiana for this one. Highly recommend checking it out!

We didn't dine in but I'm sure the service is just as good as take out. Prices were reasonable and the quality was great!

Salad was enough for 4 - 6 people. Me and my partner had plenty of leftovers. So many ingredients almost too many to list. The ingredients that stood out were the Asparagus, mushrooms, and broccolini. Ingredients were hot and delicious. We split the Carmelized Onion Tortellini. It was magical. Great buttery taste and the Carmelized Onions oozed out of the tortellini when I cut into it with the fork. We were stuffed when we left and had enough leftovers to eat for dinner the next day. Cannot wait to go back....

We came at lunch time & got right in. Ordered the focaccia bread. It came with olive oil & marina sauce. So amazing. Also shared the kale Ceasar salad. It was huge! Enough for 4-6. It had a lot of ingredients. Roasted asparagus, broccolini, shaved Brussels sprouts, mushrooms. It was delicious, but I would have preferred a lighter summer salad. It was hearty & warm. I'd get it again in the fall. We shared the caramelized onion tortellini. It was huge too. Amazing prices for the amount of food. It was so delicious. The onions were sweet & the pasta was perfect & fresh. Lots of leftovers to take home. Cute ambiance, friendly service. Loved that we could watch the chefs prepare the food too. Can't wait to come back for more pasta & try dessert.

The lady that runs the place is very nice, and super helpful as well as very knowledgeable about every product.

This place should not be called pestos, it should be called "Garlics" or "Wow That's Garlic!" (…read morejust know, I love garlic as if it is the answer to a prayer) Anyway, this is not a chain, it is a mom and pop Italian/American style place. Think of it as a sup'ed up Olive Garden. This IS midwestern comfort food style Italian. Which means lotsa cheese. And while I don't think they "house make" the pasta-dough or noodles (not Albano's or such) but they have some great sauces and if you like garlic well brother, have they got some garlic for you:) The garlic and macadamia nut sauce is unique and wow does it pack a FLAVOR. And last but not least THEIR GARLIC CESAR DRESSING IS ADDICTIVE. I am not kidding, I have been going in and buying a pint or a quart container once a week or two. I put that stuff on salad sure, but dip a slice of pizza on it WOW or on their Italian beef. They have standard frozen fried calamari but they doctor it with their own hand dipped doe and it is at least on par with most Midwest mom and pops. The only fresh squid is main and Lincoln.

I ordered the White Fish dish and my wife had Tortellini with vodka sauce with added sausage crumbles. Both dishes were incredible and I'd strongly recommend. Now for the downside and the reason for only rating 4 stars. Prior to dinner we split a Zsa Zsa Salad. The menu describes this as having poached shrimp, asparagus bits, bacon, avocado, tomato with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. For some reason the shrimp decided to leave the plate before we got it. Without the shrimp, the salad was boring and pretty much flavorless. We would have liked it better had they used Romaine rather then the foliage we all used to discard before serving. We asked the Bartender about the missing shrimp and she put in an order for a side of shrimp. The side arrived after we had pretty much finished with the salad. Not complaining because we ate the shrimp as it was the best part. The surprise came when we received the bill which contained the $19.00 charge for the salad as well as a $10.00 charge for the side of shrimp. I pointed that out and it was promptly removed. In summary, I'd suggest a hard pass on this menu item. Not to leave this review on a sour note, we love Cafe Farina and as previously mentioned the entrees were both fantastic. As a side note, we tried their privately labeled Farina Valpolicella Red. Moderately priced and well worth it's $56.00 price. We will order that again.
