Farina & More is an Italian cafe, deli and wine bar at 140 Shepherds Bush Road in Hammersmith. The kitchen prepares pasta, pizza, bread, sandwiches, salads, pastries and cakes, with many items also available from the counter for a quick meal. Seasonal produce and ingredients selected from Italy and the Mediterranean shape a menu that changes with availability.
Breakfast begins with pancakes, yoghurt and granola, vegan porridge and eggs cooked in several styles. Eggs Florentine, Benedict and Royale sit beside a full English and avocado on sourdough with tomatoes, feta and scrambled eggs. A dedicated blend of Lavazza coffee, Italian hot chocolate, tea, fresh orange juice and fruit or vegetable smoothies gives the morning menu a strong cafe identity.
Lunch and dinner bring freshly prepared pasta, pizza, Bolognese lasagne, aubergine parmigiana and crisp salads, with burrata available to make a lighter plate more substantial. Sandwiches, savoury counter dishes and freshly baked bread suit diners with less time. The selection changes to use fresh produce, but the focus remains on straightforward Italian flavours and food made by hand.
Sicilian cannoli, cantucci, pastries and house cakes provide an inviting reason to linger into the afternoon. Later, Italian cold cuts and cheese can be paired with Prosecco, an Aperol Spritz or wine from the compact European list. Limoncello and other digestivi complete the progression from breakfast cafe to relaxed evening aperitivo bar.
