Farina sits at the corner of 19th and Baltimore in the Crossroads, an Italian restaurant led by chef Michael Smith who frames the kitchen's approach as the complicated simplicity of Italian cooking. The menu runs through house-made pasta, amatriciana, and black rice, alongside an oyster bar that gives the room another way to eat.
Smith's name carries weight with the Kansas City crowd that keeps coming back, and the restaurant has built a reputation for staying consistently full, with reservations recommended for those planning ahead.
