About Farro Pizzeria Hawthorn

Hawthorn diners head here for airy sourdough pizza and handmade pasta crafted from organic spelt flour that never weighs you down. The dimly lit Glenferrie Road dining room balances an energetic neighbourhood buzz with relaxed booth seating. Table orders often kick off with golden polenta chips stacked Jenga-style alongside garlic-scented focaccia, followed by house favorites like the mushroom-loaded Paesan or thin-crust Capricciosa. Kitchen staff take dietary requests seriously, seamlessly offering gluten-free crusts and dedicated vegan alternatives—right down to a plant-based crème brûlée and generous Nutella-filled calzones.

  • Organic Spelt Dough: Pizzas and pastas are mixed with digestible organic spelt flour to yield an airy crumb with a subtle nutty finish.
  • Conscious Dietary Focus: Floor staff coordinate closely on coeliac-safe gluten-free bases and dedicated vegan dishes across the menu.
  • Neighbourhood Trattoria Vibe: Crispy polenta chips with truffle mayo, shared pastas, and a warm, low-lit dining room fit relaxed evenings.

    Extensive vegan options and coeliac-friendly gluten-free bases are backed by proactive staff who confirm dietary requirements at the table.

  • Cozy, Low-Lit Dining Ambience

    A cozy setting with warm, low lighting creates an inviting neighborhood atmosphere suited for relaxed dates and evenings with friends.

    The restaurant is quite the vibe as the lighting is more on the dark side, so a good date spot.

  • Distinctive Starters & Cocktails

    Appetizers like polenta chips and homemade pastas paired with cocktails make for an easy and satisfying Italian dinner.

    The cocktails, polenta chips, pizza, lamb ragout and ice cream were delicious.
