Farro Pizzeria Moonee Ponds

Overview

Gluten isn't always the enemy. Sometimes it's just wheat, a grain that's been modified so much over time that many of our guts now struggle to digest it properly.

The team at Farro is well aware of this, opting to replace wheat with 100-percent spelt flour in all of its pizza, pasta and bread. Not only is this ancient grain better for our bellies, but it arguably tastes a whole lot better than wheat and totally gluten-free options. It's also what had made this Italian restaurant group so successful, with the crew having opening its seventh outpost in Moonee Ponds.

Here, diners can expect the same stacked menu of classic Italian dishes found at its locations in Fitzroy, Caulfield North, Hawthorn, Thornbury, Windsor and Richmond, from the long list of antipasti to house-made pasta and woodfired pizzas. The extensive vegan menu can also be found the new Moonee Ponds site, offering up a huge amount of completely plant-based eats.

Drinks-wise, all the usual contenders are here. Aussie and Italian beers come both on tap and in tinnies, vinos from Victoria and Italy dominate the wine list, and there's a decent selection of cocktails for those feeling a little fancier.

And if you're simply looking to order some pizza and pasta to be delivered to your house near in the inner northwest, Farro is available on UberEats.
