We visited last night with our family to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had booked in advance and mentioned the occasion, and from the moment we arrived we were welcomed warmly, which set a very positive tone for the evening. The food was excellent and clearly prepared with care. The atmosphere was enjoyable, comfortable, and perfect for a family dinner. Our server was attentive and had good knowledge of the menu and wines, which we appreciated. There was a small moment when wine was initially offered to my underage daughter, but once the server realized the mistake, he immediately apologized several times, which we understood and respected. Overall, the evening went very well. The only small disappointment was at the end. Since it was a birthday celebration, we were expecting a simple gesture like a candle on the dessert or a brief acknowledgment. The dessert was brought out, but without a candle or any mention of the occasion, and it was placed on the table before the server walked away. It felt a bit rushed and out of character compared to the rest of the experience, especially for a restaurant of this reputation. Aside from that, everything else was very good, and we truly enjoyed our time. With just a little more attention to these small details, the experience would have been even more memorable.

I visited after the Big 12 championship game, so there were people everywhere. We still were seated in a reasonable amount of time. The service was good. A little on the slow side, but there were a ton of people. It wasn't slow enough to take away from the experience. The food was excellent. Flavorful and presented well. It more than made up for anything else. I will definitely eat here again.

Wonderful place to eat Italian food. Conveniently located for me during my conference in the Loews Hotel. The wait staff is friendly and willing to help. I was in a hurry and called ahead for a table and advance order. Valet out front is included. All-beef meatball appetizer comes with 5 meatballs This Agnolotti Pasta is so good. Covered in creamy sauce with mushrooms and has a taste of garlic and parmesan. The pasta are like long ravioli enclosed style and are a green color. They are stuffed with delicious smoked ricotta cheese. BTW, ask for Agnolotti on a plate instead of the shallow bowl, as they bowl edge makes it a little difficult to cut (if using fork edge). Recommended!

I was staying the Lowes hotel for business and stopped in Farena for dinner. I was greeted by the host and seated right away. I was eating on the earlier side so there wasn't too many people in the restaurant. The waiter came over right away to take my drink order. They have a wine and cocktail list with a handful of different beers available. I started with the beet salad, wow it was good! And the portion, I could have finished my meal with the size they provide. I didn't want anything too heavy so I went with the chicken and mushrooms. I was only halfway through my salad when my meal came out. I was a little disappointed by this. There were only a few other tables seated at that time, I would think they could do better with timing. The waiter was apologetic and offered to put the chicken on a warmer but it was already on the table so I just let it go. The chicken was good but not great. The brown sauce was loaded with salt which I'm not a fan of. I had a side of asparagus which was pretty tasty. The food was not cheap, my bill was a little over $100 for one glass of wine, salad, entree and a side, no dessert or coffee. For the quality of food that was more expensive than I would expect but you are in a hotel.

Let me start by saying I’m not a big Italian food fan. This restaurant was a huge, pleasant surprise. I ate every meal here during a long weekend because I could not get enough. I did try 3 different desserts but I wasn’t crazy about any of them but their meals - so flavorful and fresh. Sarah and Kyle were my favorites - so friendly and cheery - they made the meals even better.
