Farina is the next chapter in James Beard Award-Winning Chef Michael Smith’s career. Its genesis was a dinner Chef Smith and his wife, Nancy Smith, had with friends at Guido, a one-star Michelin restaurant in Italy’s Piedmont region. As wine flowed and course after course emerged from the tiny kitchen, the couple knew this was the experience they wanted to bring back to Kansas City; evenings that become memories, bonds that become stronger over extraordinary food and wine.

That’s what you’ll find at Farina — a casual yet elegant space for sharing and savoring with others. Whether it’s a romantic evening, business dinner, family gathering or group of friends heading to one of Kansas City’s nearby cultural events, the Farina team has only two requests when you dine here: Leave your cares at the door and let us spoil you.
