Tuscan Bakery Farinolio To Open In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ — A Tuscany native is bringing a taste of his homeland to the downtown area of Westfield.

Francesco Colbertaldo and Annette Colbertaldo of Basking Ridge are planning on opening Farinolio during the first week of June, the restaurant announced on Facebook Wednesday.

Farinolio will offer an authentic experience and the simplicity of a Tuscan menu filled with unique items from ‘schiacciata’ to ‘brioscia’ and tapas.

"I can’t wait to open the doors of Farinolio and share with new friends those special moments that gave me so much pleasure during the greater part of my life spent in Tuscany and my beloved Florence," Colbertaldo wrote on Farinolio's Facebook page. "I had always thought that eating is not about eating but experiencing food, discovering its roots, connecting with its sources and sharing that appreciation for the good and simple things in life."

It will be located at 121 E Broad St. in Westfield. More details about the soft opening and grand opening will be shared "really soon" on Farinolio's Facebook page.
