Ukiah, this is a see you soon 🫶🏼

Two and a half years ago, we stood in front of a blank wall on Clara Street with paint on our hands, a lot of hope, and a dream we were ready to give everything to.

That little kitchen became our starting point. Long days, late nights, dough resting, music playing, and conversations through a small window that slowly became familiar.

Strangers stopped by.
They came back.
They brought friends.
And along the way, many of them became family.

This space holds memories we will always carry. The mural painted with love, the hands of family and friends who helped us build Farola, and the moments that shaped who we are today.

Farola has outgrown this space, and it is time to build a home that matches the food, the craft, and the community around it.

Our last day at the Clara Street window will be December 13. Until then, we would love to see you. Come say hi. Come share an empanada. Come be part of this moment with us before we turn the page.

This is not goodbye.
It is a see you soon.

Beautiful things are coming, and we cannot wait to welcome you into what is next ✨

Thank you, Ukiah, for being part of the beginning.

With love,

Peter and Bailee

Comfort season is here, and we’re kicking it off with a classic you already know and love: Chicken Pot Pie, reimagined the Farola way 🥧✨

Roasted chicken, veggies, herbs, and creamy gravy, tucked inside our handmade golden crust.

Warm, nostalgic, and perfectly cozy for these crisp days.

Limited batch, get them while they last! ❤️

Real fire. Real craft. Farola™

We are Farola ✨

We don’t just make food. We tell stories you can taste.
Every ingredient becomes a sensation.
Every recipe turns into a memory.
And every single bite… becomes part of your history.

Locals know us. Travelers find us.
Because Farola isn’t just a stop for a meal.
It’s something you take with you.

We call it Food Art 🎨
You might just call it your new favorite bite 😋

Two years ago (and one day), on 7/7, we opened a little window on a corner in Ukiah, and from there, we started telling the world our story.

With flour, fire, and a whole lot of love,
Farola became more than food.
It became a place. A dream. A story that keeps growing every single day.

We owe it all to you.
And to Grandma Brenda & Grandpa Jim, who helped make this dream real.
Their names are now part of our story — literally.
(Swipe to see the plaque — soon to be on our wall.)

Thank you for two unforgettable years.
Come say hi, wish us a happy anniversary, and get a little gift on the house. 🥟🎉

We’re back—and we’re on the cover!

After a challenging couple of weeks, Farola is finally back, and somehow, right in time for this incredible surprise: We’re on the cover of Word of Mouth Magazine. 📖

This feature means the world to us. Thank you to editor Holly Madrigal, to the entire team at , and to Zach Samphsel from for the beautiful photos. 📸

While we were away visiting family in Argentina 🇦🇷, our refrigeration system failed and we lost all of our produce and ingredients. It was an unexpected and painful setback.

But what kept us going was you, our amazing customers, neighbors, and friends who continued to show us love and encouragement even while our doors were shut. 💛

Farola began as a dream, a love story between two people, and today, it’s become something so much more: A staple in downtown Ukiah, the only Argentinian restaurant in Mendocino County, and a growing, evolving place of sabor and soul.

The oven is hot again. The music’s playing. And we’re full of new flavors and stories to share with you. 🔥🎶

You can find the magazine at Black Oak Coffee Roasters and Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op, or read the article online here:

Special thanks to for the mural that lights up our corner—and now, the cover of Word of Mouth. ☀️

This is just the beginning.

Con todo el amor y sabor,
Peter & Bailee
