Farina Italian Kitchen

Head to Baker's Yard in Gosforth and you'll find yourself in a spot that takes its Italian heritage seriously without the theatrics. Farina's doing the sort of food you'd find in a proper trattoria—handmade pasta, quality ingredients, the kind of place where the menu changes because they're following what's actually in season rather than what's printed on laminate. It's become a neighbourhood favourite for good reason, and the 4.9 rating isn't just local politeness. Whether you're after a casual weeknight dinner or something a bit more special, there's a genuine warmth to how they operate.
