At Farsa, reviews present a mixed picture with praise for food quality and a welcoming vibe alongside notes of dated decor and some service inconsistencies; many mention wood-fired pizza, fresh bread, flavorful sauces, and a solid wine and beer list, with attentive service in several visits and dishes that feel homey, while others point to high prices for the quality, a disorganized greeting area, and meals that are merely okay or disappointing on occasion.
I live in the area since 2018, always wondering about this restaurant, last night I went with my wife.
The pros: the bread was good & fresh, always fresh water & they are not shy on Parmesan cheese & pepper. The menu has many options & they offer a good variety of wines. My meal had a lot of sauce.
The cons:
The greeting area is not organized.
I ordered canelonni & my wife ordered a vegetarian pizza.
My order was just OK, I expected some side salad, but the'pasta is just pasta' as the server said, the pizza was really dispointing. It had 4 tomato slices just put on top of the dough, italian tomatoes: the cheapest variety in the market. It barelly had any sauce, it was tasteless. We expected some cherry tomatoes or any other premium variety for the price. The sparragus (long stems) were also just put on top, the pizza was falling appart & very dry.
She wanted to add some chicken, but just that would be $11 more. How much chicken could be in a personal pizza? This is the price for a full grilled chiken.
For the prices I also expected table cloths & more space between tables, the menus could be better presented in proper sleeves & use cloth napkins.
The decoration is not updated, but you could call it vintage.
There is a lot to improve

Difficile de faire mieux. De loin notre restaurant italien préféré des environs. On a l'impression de manger de la nourriture maison. De plus ils font de la pizza avec un four à bois.
Had a hair in my soup told the owner & is all she said was sorry as she took the soup away. The owner never came back to my table to offer me the salad as an entre & charged me my whole meal. Pretty sad that customers are not her priority. Discusting would not recommend this restaurant.
Belle expérience hier, cuisine très bonne avec bonne proportion. J'ai pris une salade césar & une bonne lasagne. Le plat de saumon pris par une amie était excellent, elle voulait lécher l'assiette. Service attentif, on se sentait en famille. Belle surprise car je ne suis pas du coin, j'ai choisi à tout hasard. J'y retournerais.
