FARMiCiA
For a deliciously healthy meal that won’t leave your belly feeling too full or your wallet too empty, visit this Old City favorite. FARMiCiA uses locally grown and seasonal ingredients in their dishes and offers a varied menu with many traditional plates, but with their own special flair. Their creative meals taste light, flavorful and prepared with care.
Offering brunch, lunch and dinner, FARMiCiA is a combination restaurant, bar and cafe. For brunch, I enjoy their frittata or goat cheese omelette and spinach salad, washed down with a glass of freshly squeezed juice. Their seasonal soup and tasty salads never disappoint and with a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian meals, there is something for every palette. One of my staples is their jumbo lump crab cake, green goddess sauce, baby greens and potato sticks - an appetizer perfect as a meal. Their Metro Cafe carries Metropolitan bakery breads and provides a lighter menu for take out or dine-in.
The restaurant’s atmosphere is the perfect blend of organic and city style. It’s a relaxing environment with an open air feel, hardwood floors, high ceilings, sheers separating the space, red accents, dark wood elements and floor to ceiling windows that open to the sidewalk. Tables are decorated with fresh orchids and green apples, clean white tableware beautifully accents the vibrant food. Even the ladies room is colorfully designed, with lime green walls and violet and gold iridescent tiled floor.
Visit FARMiCiA for a pleasant meal, enjoyable surroundings and guilt-free indulgence, while supporting the local farming community as well, it doesn’t get much better!
