    Farm Italy is one of maybe (3) restaurants in Huntington at this level of overall quality. Food and experience was very, very good. The service we received from Justin T was outstanding, proper yet not overbearing or annoying anything requested was quickly furnished. Only improvements might be that the decor is not exceptional yet it is pleasant and once a small child within earshot left the noise level was excellent for conversation without speaking loudly. A little surprised that bread and exceptional olive oil was not brought to the table. Small item but prefer water in a goblet with abundant ice. On food appetizers were exceptional. We had mussels with tomatoes and Calabrian oil, mista salad and burrata with tomatoes, crostini, and balsamic. We wanted to try every appetizer. As this is an Italian restaurant we went with Pasta and they did not disappoint, properly al dente and not swimming in sauce. We truly look forward to returning to try the rest of the menu soon.
