Farino 00 wood fired pizza - Melbourne

The pizza at this restaurant is truly authentic with a perfect crust. I can't wait to come back again!

00<br/ <br/ Those will be your two eyes very much open when you stare at the amazing menu that Farina 00 has! <br/ <br/ If there is one thing that I truly admire about a pizza is the dough. I know many people are so fussed about it that sometimes they even leave the outer part of the crust because it’s either 1 too hard or 2 not tasty enough/lacking flavour. What if you’ve found a perfect vegan pizza made in a true Roman traditional wood fired oven?<br/ <br/ What if you found the best of Italian food with options that cater for all dietary requirements without having to travel to Italy? <br/ <br/ Yes, I know making a trip to Italy just for a pizza would be pretty... hardcore and certainly an adventure! But well, that would quite an expensive pizza plus, I have been to Italy before and let me tell you that I’m pretty sure that you wouldn’t be able to find so many non vegan and vegan options in one place. How about vegan deserts! Vegan Nutella Calzone? What? <br/ <br/ We arrived at the venue around dinner time and there was still plenty of light outside for a semi rainy day as it was and it was quite easy to find parking just right at the door. There is some seating outside featuring some wooden tables and the place was even a drawing a massive oven on the left side of the door. Once you step inside you feel like you are walking into one of those cosy cottages and what I obviously noticed first was the massive MASSIVE wood fired oven just next to the counter area. Not only it is quite impressive but it also radiates warmth (very much appreciated to the people that are coming in very well thought! <br/ <br/ The decoration is pretty and simple with some bold moves like chairs stick in the walls up high and big oven cutlery related items placed in the walls. The tables have some very pretty flower branches and even the cutlery is rustic and elegant at the same time. The whole ambience looks like one of those Italian cosy restaurants but with a twist a special twist.<br/ <br/ We were kindly received and sat just next to the wood fired oven which I absolutely loved not only for the extra heat but because I would be able to see what was being made and even talk and get to know the owner better. Yes Nadim, the man, is not only able to have the most interesting conversations but he sure makes the TASTIEST pizzas! Made RIGHT in front of you, in a massive wood fired oven, this is provable one of the most interesting experiences I have had recently!<br/ <br/ After going through the menu, I have to say that I was quite indecisive between which vegan pizza to have but vegan cheese and pesto are definitely my weaknesses and OMG. Can we please go back in time so I can have these again?!

Fantastic place to have pizzas, pastas, calamaris and more, including desserts. I found the place via EatClub and got a discount. It also seems zomato gold members get perks here as well.<br/ <br/ Overall, I found the interior decor to be warm with the red brick walls, atmosphere welcoming, and staff very friendly without being intrusive. Most of all, the foods were absolutely delicious and the texture of the fettuccine was amazing. Even an average Joe like myself could tell it was homemade from scratch. Highly recommended.

Loved the hospitality and the relaxed atmosphere of this place. Restaurant is clean and you can see your pizzas being made in a nice wood fired oven. Loved their margarita and they have some good red wine options. Do try their red wine named black dog Shiraz. We also ordered a zatar vegan pizza. I wasnt a huge fan as could barely taste any zatar.. If I hadn't seen sesame, I would have assumed there was no zatar. Nonetheless will return for their red wine and margarita.

<br/ <br/ Pros the awesome staff. The polenta chips and the calamari.<br/ <br/ Cons The gourmet pizzas are amazing but the regular ones are just average considering the price. <br/ <br/
