Farina Pizzeria in Turramurra is a welcoming restaurant with a flair for Italian food. This neighbourhood restaurant on Normurra Avenue is charming for many reasons, from it’s laid back atmosphere and vibrant decor to it’s genuine hospitality. The menu would win over any Sydney local and comes packed with wood-fired pizza, calzones, pasta, risotto and hearty meat mains. We recommend a classic Diavola pizza with mozzarella and hot salami, the formaggi gnocchi with four cheeses or the pork belly with red wine poached apples and pistachio. Gluten-free pizza bases are available, as well as many vegetarian options. While you feast with family and friends, it’s also a great place to enjoy a drink. They’re fully licensed and you can BYO wine from Monday to Thursday. Farina Pizzeria is a casual gem in Turramurra – pay them a visit and find out why!

My husband and I went on our first date since having a baby to Sirculo the other day and it was such a memorable and lovely experience! We ordered the calamari for entree, the lamb shank and papperdelle ragu for the main and the pannacotta for dessert. It was all soooo delicious. They served the lamb shank with a garlic mash that was just to die for. We honestly would rate the food 10/10. The staff were really friendly and the service was great!
