Cafe Farina

Bringing a slice of old-school Chicago Italian to the heart of the Uptown Arts District, Cafe Farina is a culinary anchor on Franklin Street. With a vintage aesthetic featuring cream suede booths and horse racing memorabilia, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between an intimate supper club and a bustling neighborhood joint. Whether you’re grabbing a seat at the rounded bar for a classic cocktail or settling onto the stone patio for alfresco dining, it’s a spot that feels both timeless and distinctly local.
