Josh Sens isn't buying the "authenticity" spiel at Farina Pizza : "...if that's how they're doing it in Naples these days, I can save on airfare and get pizza around here that suits my personal penchant for a crisper crust." Still the menu has "sparkling moments:" pesto gnocchi, timballo di patate, and pasta puttanesca that is "as appealing as the waitstaff, who never rush you toward the check." [San Fran Mag]
