Restaurant Farina in Gelsenkirchen

Waren gestern Abend da essen, Salat ohne Dressing,auf Anfrage welches bekommen,es wurden 2 Gläser Wein mit einem blauen Tuch abgewischt und dann serviert,man hätte den Wein in neue Gläser füllen müssen, also Vorsicht

....eine wirklich sehr gute Lokalität....Pizza, Pasta und auch Fleisch wird hier mit liebe und hoher Qualität angeboten....wir gehen hier sehr gerne essen.....immer wieder begeistert.

Wir waren schon mehrmals hier und wurden bisher nie enttäuscht. Das Essen ist jedes Mal frisch, lecker und von gleichbleibend hoher Qualität. Auch der Service ist immer freundlich, aufmerksam und herzlich. Man fühlt sich einfach willkommen. Für uns gehört Farina zu den Restaurants, in die wir immer wieder gerne kommen. Klare Empfehlung!

Für uns das Beste Restaurant für Pizza und Pasta! Gemütliches Restaurant mit tollem Service und leckerem Essen! Absolut zu empfehlen 😃👍

Ist ok es kann aber besser sein

Supernettes Personal. Faire Preise. Alles ist sehr lecker. Der Beilagensalat ist günstig und sehr zu empfehlen.

Immer wieder gern. Hier stimmt einfach alles.

Kommen häufiger, schmeckt immer gut und das Personal ist freundlich. Allerdings haben wir das Gefühl, dass bei dem Ziegenkäse (Vorspeise) der Salat immer weniger wird und dieses Mal wurde uns auch erst auf Nachfrage Brot dazu gereicht.

Netter Italiener, aber an Verkehrszeichen Straße gelegen

Nettes Lokal, leckeres italienisches Essen und freundliches Personal.

Wir machten dort auf unserer Urlaubsreise einen kurzen Mittagsstopp. Wir teilten uns einen Salat und eine Pizza. Die Pizza wurde sogar für uns geteilt. Der Pizzateig war wirklich gut. Der Salat war frisch und lecker. Der Kaffee war ausgezeichnet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Angemessene Preise.

Mai 2026: heute sehr überfüllt und ziemlich laut, alles dauerte recht lange. Nudeln vegetarisch ohne Geschmack, Rest Topp wie immer. Coctail lecker April und November 2025: Topp wie immer. Sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr leckere Speisen und Getränke. Sehr schnelle Zubereitung obwohl alle Tische belegt. Nachtisch der Hit!. Saubere sanitäre Anlage. Hunde erlaubt und Kartenzahlung möglich. Gerne wieder 👍

Wir gehen sehr gerne dort hin Essen , es schmeckt so lecker dort .

Das Essen war in Ordnung. Ich hatte zum Geburtstag 10 Personen eingeladen und vorher extra eine kleine Speisekarte vorgesprochen. Da ich wusste, dass viele meiner Freunde gerne Lammkotlet essen, war mir diese Speise besonders wichtig. So haben dann auch 5 Leute Lammkotlet bestellt. Aus der Küche kam dann die Nachricht, wir haben nur noch zwei Lammkotlet -geht gar nicht, wenn so etwas vorgesprochen ist. Auch das 'Du" der Bedienung hat mich und einige meiner Freunde sehr gestört. Leider sind 7€ für eine Wasserflasche die offen serviert wird (war vielleicht nur stilles Leitungswasser?) viel zu viel. Schade

War am Montag mit den Freundinnen im Farina und haben wieder gut gegessen,netter freundlicher Service 😊

Wir waren gestern mit fünf Personen Essen, vorab habe es sehr leckere Oliven mit Brot,unsere Vorspeisen Bruschetta waren sehr lecker und vom Geschmack genau was wir wollten,die späteren Hauptspeisen Pizza, Bürger,Nudeln und Lachs waren genau so Appetitlicht,ein freundlicher Kellner hat die Sache abgerundet,.. fünf Personen mit Getränken und Vorspeisen insgesamt für 124€

Der Service war ausgesprochen gut. Positiv hervorzuheben war auf jeden Fall die Wartezeit, die recht gering war. Das Essen war gut aber mit etwas Luft nach vorne. Der Laden war ordentlich und sauber. Die Einrichtung hat mir persöhnlich nicht so zugesagt aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache. Ich würde den Laden weiterempfehlen.

Stolze Preise Essen lecker anscheinend tierfreundlich was ja an sich ja nicht schlecht ist aber wenn man auswärts essen geht muss Mann sein Hund mitschleppen vorallen wenn sein Hund nich in Griff hat finde ich bisschen schwierig weil es gab Momente wo ich gerne einfach aufgestanden wäre und gegen wäre

Tolles Essen super geschmackvolle Tomatensuppe Nudelgerichte haben sehr lecker geschmeckt Bedienung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam trotzdem es ihr erster Tag war werden wieder kommen

Nettes Ambiente, Preise sind in Ordnung, Geräuschpegel ist auch bei Recht vollem Restaurant super.

Sehr leckere Pizza 🍕 Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Bedienung 👍

Schönes Restaurant und gutes Essen

Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Einziges Manko leider nur eine Toilette. Parkplatz ist leider auch eine Glückssache.

Sehr gutes Essen mit hervorragenden Service zu fairen Preisen.

The calzone was awful. A lot of liquid leaked out when I cut into it. The dough was paper-thin, only the edges were slightly better. We're done with Farina.

We were there with a group of 50 people. The service was excellent and friendly. Despite the large group, we had a very good meal. A big compliment to the kitchen. Highly recommended, we will definitely come back.

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, good service – definitely worth a visit.

A very cozy restaurant with excellent service! I had the Pizza Parma – the price-performance ratio is very good, the pizza was delicious! We'll definitely be back.

Great, as always. I was just there to devour a BBQ burger.

It is always a pleasure to stop there and linger.

The interior was renovated upon request. It looks very nice. There were three of us, and we felt very comfortable. The service was really good. Our orders were taken quickly, and the drinks arrived shortly afterward. The food is delicious. The value for money is very good. I highly recommend it. 👍🤗

At Farina, the pizza tastes delicious. Fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. A cozy atmosphere and friendly service make for a pleasant visit.

We had pasta with Gorgonzola and pasta with spinach, and both were very good. The server was very pleasant, and everything, including the restrooms, was super clean. The location is also beautiful, and we were very satisfied overall.

A great place for food and drinks in GE💙💙 Great pizza, friendly service. We love coming here when we're attending a concert in the coolest city in the world.

Nice Italian restaurant with an outdoor terrace. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious pizza, pasta, and meat dishes. We highly recommend this place.

Always enjoy coming here. The food is really good.

The food was okay, but I wasn't impressed. We won't be back.

Without further ado, there's nothing wrong with the food. My wife's salad was amazing. My pizza had everything you need. We'd love to come back.

We went there for the first time today, and I have to honestly say I'm disappointed. We decided to go based on the positive reviews. The ambiance is really very appealing, but the food, in my opinion, was rather mediocre. The pizza tonno had very little toppings, and the base was rather dry. The calzone looked great, but I've had much better. The flavor was...well, pretty bland...to put it bluntly, not very seasoned and not very rich. Perhaps other dishes are better, but we won't try them again. We were very disappointed; we had hoped for better.

Our experience at Farina was very good. The food was excellent. The drinks were also excellent; I really enjoyed the mojito. The service was also super fast and very attentive. You can hardly find better Italian food in this city.

The pizza 🍕 was quite tasty, the pasta 🍜 with truffles was good, but unfortunately, it wasn't the pasta we ordered. What a pity.

As always, delicious food at Farina. Pizza, pasta dishes, burgers, fish and meat dishes, and desserts were all top-notch. The cocktails 🍹 were amazing. Friendly, attentive service. We'll be back again soon, highly recommended.

I've rarely eaten such good pizza. The service was fast and attentive. The food and drinks arrived very quickly. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the music was enjoyable, making it easy to have a good conversation. My wife and I were thrilled and will definitely come back.

We were just there before the concert at the Veltins Arena. Absolutely delicious. I haven't had such good pizza in a long time.

real italian food from real italians in a nice, not overcrowded, not overpriced restaurant 🤌🏻

The food was delicious, and the menu offers plenty of variety, including vegetarian options. There's also a small specials menu. The drinks selection is also excellent. I particularly liked the super friendly and always attentive staff. From the outside, it looks a bit unassuming, but don't let that put you off.

Imagine the fries gone. I had to add them to my hamburger dish, otherwise my husband wouldn't have been satisfied. The grill mix was pathetic. We won't be coming back.

Delicious food and pleasant seating with friendly service!

We spontaneously stopped by Farina with friends after an event at the Veltins Arena – and it was an all-around fantastic experience! The stylish ambiance captivated us as soon as we walked in. The decor is modern yet cozy, making you feel right at home. The service was absolutely top-notch: friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. We weren't disappointed with the food either. From the appetizer to the pizza and pasta to the dessert – everything was fresh, delicious, and prepared with love. Our vegetarian friends also had a great selection of dishes. Although we were only in town for a visit, we'll be back next time! Highly recommended! Thank you so much ☺️

For me, the tastiest pizzas in GE. Very friendly service.👍

We went to Farina with a large group for a birthday dinner. In addition to the high-quality and attractively presented food, I especially have to highlight the service staff. I haven't personally experienced such genuine friendliness, passion, and competence in a long time. I would like to give the service ten points, if possible. So, once again, a heartfelt thank you. We all felt very comfortable and welcome.

I have been coming here for years and am enthusiastic about the new outdoor dining area, but the food is getting worse and worse and the boss is an imposition who can't deal with criticism and is clearly not a trained chef... Spaghetti Carbonara with Tyrolean speck according to the menu is pretty funny... and the ham pizza is overloaded with cheese like at a Turkish takeaway... For a wannabe Italian restaurant, that's a bit light on things. Of course the "boss" doesn't let you finish your sentence because only he's right.... Of course I had to pay the whole bill even though I left almost everything up to him.... Yes, the gentleman has it too good because otherwise he would speak to a customer differently.... so he should learn to be friendly and learn to cook a bit more. Both are lacking.... I will certainly never be back. There are enough alternatives in GE and you're even treated kindly there!

Very tasty food, good selection, friendly service

Delicious food. You can easily spend an evening together there.

We always enjoy going there 😁 everything is great 👌

Ate very tasty pizza. Service was very nice and the atmosphere is very nice.

The two of us ate here today and when you get feedback about the bad food, you are ignored and when you ask again why it wasn't addressed, you just say "then why did you eat it?" Service is zero. The Limoncello Spritz was so strong that you had to sober up for three days afterwards. Young people who take criticism personally have no place in a restaurant.

Our favorite restaurant.. regular customers for years. The appreciation of the owners is really great, no matter how busy it is, they try to make sure we can still eat something there without a reservation. We don't have to talk about the food at all, no matter which dish is delicious. Recommended for everyone, many friends that we took with us for the first time are now eating there themselves.

We went to Farina's for dinner to celebrate my father's birthday. Yesterday's evening was simply great 👍 The food was impeccable and the bread that was served as a starter was a real highlight! 🥖👌 The service was super attentive, always present and regularly asked if everything was ok. 👏🍽️ I had the Penne Tartufata and it was just amazing! 🍝🔥 Great restaurant and a great team. I can only recommend 👌

Super tasty, price performance is right. The atmosphere is very cozy.

Everything was very tasty and great service

Ordered over the phone was great and picked up on time as promised over the phone, the dishes No. 52 and 60 we ordered consisted almost exclusively of pasta, an absolute impudence to offer something like that without the promised side dishes, we are very, very disappointed

We went there spontaneously and chose it at random...luckily for us, because it was amazing! The food was very good, the atmosphere was simply amazing, and the staff was extremely friendly! We, from Cologne, felt very comfortable there! We will definitely recommend it!

Very nice and accommodating. I was there years ago. I was actually looking forward to the Long Island Ice Tea. Unfortunately, it's no longer on the menu. Even though they were really delicious back then. It's a shame. Maybe I'll come back soon. But the service was excellent.

A pretty decent restaurant. Pizza looked really good. Salad was absolutely okay, but my lasagne was absolutely below average. You should put more effort into the dessert. Tiramisu stuffed into a glass isn't exactly great. But very friendly service, which also responds to requests.

Delicious food 🤗 I recommend it

tasty food, friendly staff, good value for money

Nice atmosphere, but the dishes we ordered were all across the board really just average!!! The service was very nice, but overall seemed very unsafe. When it comes to pricing, you expect more than just average, sorry

Went there today with my girls, a very nice restaurant, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice too. The waitress was great too

I always enjoy going there. For a chain, the Farina in Gelsenkirchen Erle is a very good choice. The service and ambience are particularly noteworthy. Every now and then I just drink a beer there. The new terrace is finally finished. I'm looking forward to sitting there in spring/summer.

Outrageous: Salad Cesare for €11.50 to take away: consists of 95% iceberg lettuce, 6 half cocktail tomatoes, 4 croutons, a slice of goat cheese…….. Price-performance doesn't fit. Never again

Very attentive and helpful service. And the food is always awesome, no matter what I've tried

This is our third time there and we're thrilled every time. Very very friendly, emphatic service, food simply delicious. The atmosphere is pleasant and we feel comfortable. Everything is just right for us and we look forward to the next visit

Perfectly recommended! Super tasty food at reasonable prices and the staff is cheerful and friendly 😊

The food was perfect, super nice service and the atmosphere was cozy 👍🏼👍🏼

The atmosphere was cozy, the staff attentive, friendly and the food, whether pasta, pizza or burgers, was very tasty - we'd be back again

We always enjoy being there and it’s delicious too.

The noise in the restaurant significantly reduces my stay. With the spagetti carbonara, the pasta was al dente, but the sauce was thick and you could hardly taste the parmesan. Too bad!

Why weren't we here earlier? My husband says...I have no idea!!!! I think you have 2 more new regulars... great service... great food... great ambience... thanks for the nice evening...

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience. The waitresses are very friendly and accommodating. Children and dogs are also welcome. The food tasted excellent. It's a shame that we can only give 5 stars. :)

Very nice service, the food is very tasty and different from the usual restaurant food. Also highly recommended for families with children.

Yesterday I was at Farina for the first time with my girlfriend. A warm welcome, super delicious food, we tried our way through the starters. Carpaccio, salad with warm goat cheese and a bruschetta were not to be missed. Wishes were quickly fulfilled. We'll be back, that's for sure.

Schade das ich ihn jetzt erst entdeckt habe . Schöne Einrichtung ,freundliches Personal. Essen war mega lecker . Rundum zufrieden ,das ist klar das ich dort öfter essen werde .

Delicious food and super nice service! But unfortunately also very loud.

Very nice welcome, there was bread with garlic cream on the house. Fast service

I can only recommend this restaurant, very good variety and tasteful and very friendly service. In all respects a very well-run house with very good quality. I always enjoy coming here to eat.

The place is great, the service is cold, service is not particularly friendly. Food is good, but it's freezing cold at lunchtime and it's too expensive for that. The food wasn't a bomb, you just tasted garlic. We waited a little longer for service. Ambience very nice.

Food very tasty. Service friendly and quick.

Hello dear Farina team, We come from the Stuttgart area and were at an event in the Veltins Arena on Saturday. In the evening we went to dinner with our friends. I can give high praise, the food was outstanding, the staff extremely friendly and attentive. Thank you for the lovely stay - it was fun. We will come again. Best regards and keep it up. Gerd H.

Top service top meat, fresh bread, vegetables and fruit. The team are wonderful

Very very chic restaurant. Well furnished. Good food at a reasonable price. Top friendly staff. Good parking options.

Top pizza, very good price-performance ratio. Staff is very friendly.

I like eating here. The food tastes great and is of good quality. Because of this, you should bring a little time with you. Farina is ideal for a cozy meal with family or friends. You definitely get my recommendation!

Great pizza, good pasta is, for me, one of the best Italian restaurants in Gelsenkirchen

Yummy! Nice service 🙌🏻 Thank you very much & keep it up!

Absolutely recommended, super tasty large pizza, nice quick service, always happy

A very pleasant restaurant with delicious food, pre-order on weekends, otherwise you're out of luck👍🙏🤓

Very tasty food, a salad that was a little too small, nice service, nice ambience, clean sanitary facilities.

A very nice restaurant. Delicious food, gnocchi with truffle is amazing! The interior is pleasant. Coffee and desserts also good.

Top service, attentive, friendly and quick. The food was also very tasty and plentiful. I really liked it. The only downside is that due to its location right on Cranger Straße, it is quite loud when you sit on the terrace. Otherwise everything was great 👍👍
