Ciao amici,

I’d love for you to join me and my team for a truly special evening—our Chef’s Surprise Tasting Menu, a one-night-only event where we’ll take a delicious journey through Italy’s regions together. This isn’t just a dinner; it’s an experience close to my heart, inspired by the simple, honest meals I grew up with in Italy.

For this unforgettable night, we will source rare, extraordinary ingredients directly from small producers in Italy, brought here just for you. These treasures will star in our multiple course menu, Italian tapas style, and you’ll even have the chance to take them home with you to recreate a taste of Italy in your own cucina.

This isn’t a restaurant—it’s our casa, where we welcome you as part of the Farinolio family. Gather around our table for a cultural dining experience that celebrates authentic Italian traditions, with recipes passed down through generations. There’s no menu to preview, no requests to make—just trust our chefs to surprise you with dishes that showcase the very best of Italy.

Every course will tell a story, the focus is on simplicity, quality, and the joy of sharing good food in good company.

Vi aspettiamo con tanto amore!

This is one tradition your family will treasure!

Unitevi a noi! Bring your little ones and celebrate the timeless Italian tradition of La Befana, a magical event that promises to delight children and families alike.

Step into a heartwarming atmosphere filled with lively musica italiana and immerse yourself in captivating tales of La Befana and other cherished Italian holiday traditions. The highlight? Meeting La Befana herself! With her rustic broom in hand, she’ll sweep away the holiday season while sharing sweet dolcetti with all our little Farinolio foodies. Limited stockings will be available, so arrive early to secure a special treat!

We are especially grateful to welcome this year’s Befana, the wonderful Miss Molly Barber! Many will remember her as “Miss Molly” of Romper and Friends, the beloved children’s program on WWOR-TV that brought smiles from 1981 to 1994. A proud Westfield resident for over 35 years, Miss Molly has been a devoted fan of Farinolio since we opened our doors.

LA BEFANA IN ITALY: In Italy, La Befana is a treasured tradition celebrated on the night of January 5th, marking the Epiphany. She holds a special place in the hearts of children, symbolizing the joy and magic of the holiday season.

As the story goes, La Befana flies from house to house on her broomstick, leaving treats and small surprises in stockings or shoes for good children to discover on the morning of January 6th. But her magic is more than just the sweets—it’s about the traditions she inspires. From hanging stockings to sharing stories, families come together to create unforgettable memories, fostering a deep connection to Italian culture.

For generations, La Befana has been a symbol of familiarità, togetherness, and the wonder of the season, enriching homes across Italy with her charm and bringing families closer.

The Riviera Romagnola, a stunning stretch of the Adriatic coast in Emilia-Romagna, is famed for its charming seaside resorts, lively festivals, and rich history.

This region boasts ancient fortresses, medieval towns, and a vibrant beach culture, with hotspots like Rimini, Riccione, and Cesenatico.

Known for being godereccio, or pleasure-seeking, the locals take their food seriously, reveling in the delights of piadina, a traditional flatbread often enjoyed as a pre-party snack. After a night of dancing in the region's famed discos, nothing beats the satisfaction of a warm bombolone, a delicious filled doughnut. This lively, indulgent approach to food is an integral part of the summer Romagnolo experience.
