Via Farina will open a second location this October in Regency Landing at 10730 Pacific Street in the corner bay next to Twisted Cork. Doubling the size of its current Little Italy location, the modern Italian restaurant will act as a production hub for both venues and will serve lunch, dinner, desserts and breads through an open-kitchen format. The concept will include a “pasta lab” where all pasta is made in-house behind a glass display, plus a cocktail bar and a “charcuterie island” with portions cut to order. – Nicole Buntgen
