    The server, Dilek, is very helpful and nice through our entire dinner giving us a beautiful experience in Faros Holborn. All the workers are welcoming and professional from the moment walking in the restaurant to the moment we left.

    We could not fault anything! Starters: Calamari and Gambero and both had risotto di mare for mains. Service attentive and friendly but not encroaching, food came at a perfect pace and was all so good. The risotto was just beautiful, my only complaint was that I wanted a bigger dish of it! Bill was £90 with service but without alcohol so hardly cheap but when you give 5 stars for everything, it has to be decent value! I've paid more for less enjoyable experiences.

    Amazing service from our waiter. A young lad who served us ( we sat downstairs) . He was incredibly friendly, super attentive and accommodating. Was able to help us with questions regarding the menu and gave reasons for preference. The food was amazing, I’d say slightly overpriced for the portions but could not fault it in any way. Portions were enough and we shared 2 starter between 5 adults which was enough. I would recommend this cute , cosy restaurant to anyone and definitely would go back 😊

    A very cosy stylish Italian restaurant that is quite intimate and good window frontage on 2 sides as corner location. Also nice tables outside for better weather. Very nice staff and quick service although not busy at that time. Enjoyed all the food and wine. Perfect for a pre-Christmas meet up with an old friend!

    The staff were so lovely and the manager was delightful. Unfortunately we couldn’t be seated for our booking for 15 mins as it is a very small restaurant but the manager was sure to give us an extra round of our drinks on the house (this was a bottle of wine and a g&t) so we really couldn’t complain! But throughout the wait he was super apologetic and made sure we were all treated with care. It’s my second time at that restaurant and I will be going back again. Highly recommend!
