Love love love this place! I go every Tuesday for happy hour! I know all the servers and bartenders, and they are excellent!

Nice place with a warm atmosphere (a little small). The food was good, I guess I just had higher expectations. Yes, I would recommend going here. Dinner for two: starter / couple of drinks / and two pasta dishes will cost you around $100.00 so its not inexpensive.

I love sitting at the bar. The food is consistently excellent and the patrons are a lot of fun. We also love farina Supper Club

Today was my second visit to Cafe Farina for a much needed lunch and I have to say how my experience was beyond 5-Star! I'm a guy that loves to sit at the bar to relax and Casie brought an excellent-vibrant energy for every one. I met her earlier this year and she was dynamic during the winter time as well. My Parm Bros. sandwich with meatballs was scrumptious and delightful as the Moscow Mule washed it down my stomach to put a bow on my lunch. The meatballs were seasoned and prepared just right with Parmesan cheese and marinara! I even grabbed an Italian Hoagie to trace back to Chicago for either dinner later on or possibly lunch on Thursday! Thank you to everyone that made my second visit to Cafe Farina memorable and fulfilling! I do plan on bring my guys here for as part of some weekend getaway coming soon!!

Cafe Farina has consistently delivered delicious food and good service for the few times I've been here. They accept reservations through Open Table and I suggest making one because they really get busy especially during the weekend dinner hours. The inside is clean, a little dark, busy, and vibrant. They also have a small outdoor dining area in front of the restaurant. The dishes that I've tried on my visits here were the INSALATA CAPRESE, FRIED CALAMARI, ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE, BRAISED BRISKET TORELLINI, SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS, CACIO E PEPE, and the ASPARAGUS & SHRIMP RISOTTO (from the specials menu). I honestly enjoyed all of these dishes, nothing was "just okay". The cocktails were good too. Service was efficient and friendly. On my last visit, our main dishes took a while to be served. They arrived hot and freshly prepared, so the wait was acceptable. I will definitely keep coming back here whenever I want outstanding Italian food in Michigan City. Til next time!

We stayed nearby at an Air B & B and went to this delicious restaurant for dinner one night and dessert and drinks on one afternoon....Yummy! Everyone at our table was very happy with their food!!! Even the Italian smells of the food were mouth-watering! The lemon cake was so light and tasty! But, the best part was the staff....they were so friendly and attentive!!!!

An Italian Gem - Cafe Farina in Michigan City Cafe Farina in Michigan City has earned its place as our favorite Italian restaurant in Northwest Indiana, and our recent visit only reinforced our love for this place. Upon arrival, we found the restaurant bustling with patrons, resulting in a substantial wait. However, we decided to sit at the bar, and we're thrilled that we did, all thanks to our incredible host and bartender, Nikki. She truly made our evening delightful. Nikki started us off with classic cocktails - a refreshing Gin & Tonic and an indulgent Espresso Martini. These were just the beginning of our culinary journey. For our main course, we opted for the crowd-pleasing spaghetti and meatballs. Now, I'm not just any Italian; I lived in Italy for years during my Navy service, and I have to say, this sauce and the meatballs at Cafe Farina are as close to "back home" as it gets. It was a nostalgic and heartwarming experience. The atmosphere at Cafe Farina strikes a perfect balance between trendy and cozy. The restaurant is consistently clean, and the restrooms are well-maintained. We'll always recommend this restaurant without hesitation, not only for the mouthwatering Italian cuisine but also for the outstanding service. Fughetabout trying to find a better Italian dining experience in Northwest Indiana - Cafe Farina has it all!

Who knew Michigan City had a restaurant scene? Farina was a pleasant surprise I happened to spot while driving through Michigan City. The vibe is a smallish, cozy Italian restaurant offering outdoor patio seating, with an urban feel due to the exposed brick interior, chill/lounge music, dim lighting, and cozy bar. I loved my delicious Cacio e Pepe, served with a grilled lemon, perfect for drizzling over the pasta and would have also enjoyed a small bread offering to accompany the dish. Their menu featured classic pasta dishes, sandwiches with a twist, salads and a variety of apps. In addition to the food, the service was also great and I'll be taking friends along on my next visit!
