Farina Pizzeria & Wine Bar Downtown

The menu clearly indicates that pizzas can be made vegan and dairy-free by substituting house-made tofu ricotta and cashew parm. This accommodation is stated in writing. The restaurant does not mention dedicated equipment or a separate prep area, so cross-contact with dairy cheese or other animal products in a shared kitchen is possible. Staff training on vegan preparation has not been confirmed. Diners should discuss their requirements when ordering.

Dairy-free substitution is offered on pizzas. The substitution uses house-made tofu ricotta and cashew parm, as stated on the official menu. This is a deliberate accommodation for dairy-free diners. There is no mention of dedicated equipment or separation from cheese preparation. Other menu items like antipasti and salads may contain dairy (cheese). So confirm at order.

The menu offers a gluten-free crust option on pizzas, marked GF in the price column, and explicitly notes that meatballs contain gluten. No information is provided about dedicated equipment, separate prep areas, or cross-contact prevention for the GF crusts. Several wheat-based dishes, including calzone, sandwiches, pasta, and desserts, do not have GF alternatives, suggesting a shared kitchen. Staff awareness and kitchen protocols around gluten cross-contamination are unknown. Calling ahead to confirm suitability for coeliac needs is recommended.

The menu mentions cashew parm as a dairy-free topping option, which is a tree nut product. Cashews are explicitly present on the premises, so nut-allergic diners face a clear risk. No nut-free menu or allergy protocols are described, and shared kitchen surfaces are likely. The venue may accommodate requests, but cross-contamination risk for tree nuts and peanuts (if used elsewhere) is undocumented. Calling ahead to discuss needs is advised.
