What Mike D likes about Farina Ristorante:
We visit North Bay about once a year, and this is 'hands down ' our favourite restaurant. Fast, friendly service, expertly prepared meals with quality ingredients, all at a very reasonable cost. A discount is also available if you are staying at the attached and excellent Best Western Hotel. Farina also has a superb breakfast menu. View all feedback. What Stephen Roberts doesn't like about Farina Ristorante:
Has potential and may be good when all the stars are in order. Apparently they had a banquet ordering off the menu that we were told about after placing our orders. Service was pleasant but glacial. Food was okay. Atmosphere was nice but some tables are too close together so you have to listen to others' conversations even whenpeople are talking at a normal volume. View all feedback.
