Around 12 PM a very very low inventory..... notice that focaccia filling went down and prices way way up to $17 a piece. Now add a drink and that a whopping $25!!!!

Very unexpected delight right in downtown Westfield, NJ Ive had everything from the sandwiches, to the pizza and the cookies to the coffee. All are very unique and authentic to Italy. Sandwich bread is very light, yet satisfying. Never felt super stuffed after eating, but always pleasantly full. Its a testament to the high quality ingredients within each product. The espresso is super smooth and delicious. Coffee is delicious. Ive traveled quite a bit and all told I think youll be VERY hard pressed to find anything quite like it in the States.

UPDATE: I just wanted to share my latest experience at Farinolio since my initial review. I've now attended at least 4 or 5 vegan cooking classes since my original review and I can only reiterate what I said before. The food is *always* outstanding but meeting and getting to know the other guests and cooking together is really the highlight. And this is because the atmosphere is warm and welcoming right from the start, thanks to Chef Laura and staff (in addition to Laura, Chef Margherita was at the last event which made the experience even more fun! I hope Margherita comes back one day!). It really is no exaggeration to say that I feel like we're a family as we cook together in the kitchen. I already just booked another cooking class next month and I can't wait to go! It goes without saying that I continue to enjoy their vegan schiacciata during the day when I'm in the neighborhood! (last time I was there, they were sold out but they graciously made one fresh for me.) ORIGINAL REVIEW: I had lunch here after hearing they had vegan options. And I was glad I did. I had a schiacciata (peperonata, I think it was called) and a croissant to go. Everything was great, but that schiacciata was outstanding! I'm getting hungry again writing this review. Upon paying, they let me know that there would be a vegan cooking class/dinner in a couple of weeks so I signed up for that. Regarding the cooking class, it was so much fun! After eating a variety of fantastic antipasti to start off, we went back into the kitchen to prepare the butternut squash gnocchi ourselves, following the expert guidance of Laura, who instructed us not only in the food preparation but also in speaking Italian. The whole evening was so enjoyable. Not just the food but the warm, friendly atmosphere which was due in no small part to how well everything was organized and presented by Laura and the staff. I'll surely sign up for the next vegan event. In the meantime, I'll continue to drop by whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommended!

I am visiting from Italy. The food is excellent and the best "schiacciata" I have ever eaten. Better than in Italy. Great work Farinolio team.
