    The food was OK, but they put me at a table almost outside the restaurant and in front of the bar, with all the noise of the bartender preparing cocktails. But there were a lot of empty tables in a much better location

    We were looking for some good Italian food in central Faro and this was a great choice. Excellent pastas and the service was good as well. It's also a nice open space to have a meal. We hope to come back.

    I've been here for a few times and we appreciate coming to this place as food usually is very good. last time here, pizzas were too salty and the service was average. the waiters were polite but not interested in providing the best experience to a customer.

    Really nice looking places, . lovely furniture great service, we .had x5 different waiting staff(all nice) which is a bit confusing . Trouble is the pizzas which are expensive, It’s the main dish on the menu and should be good/perfect, but unfortunately we’re partly inedible , very undercooked and stogy in the middle, they look good when they arrive but as you start eating very quickly they become hard work. I left about a quarter of the dough and I was really hungry. I mentioned it when asked but no follow up. .all the party felt the same, I look back at the reviews and it’s the biggest complaint, I can’t understand why they haven’t taken note!

    Excellent meal which was well prepared and presented. Great quality produce used. George (head waiter) was superb in engaging with us instantly upon our arrival and with continued interaction throughout our meal, great wine advice too. He is an asset to this hotel!! Also new starts-Franscico and Helder were brilliant and with guidance from George they will no doubt excel Chefs were great and kept an eye on diners to make sure they had everything they needed (extra Parmesan without asking was impressive) This restaurant is beautiful and it let down slightly by a few staff who just appear to need guidance on how to engage more with customers and appear genuine (Alice..please smile)

    The food was amazing. The staff while very friendly, they come too much to the table ask if everything is ok and it becomes annoying. The ambience looses when you have a Dj playing house music while you're eating. It kinda makes it difficult to enjoy the meal and the company.

    Polished and conceived. Good food. Good service. You won’t be disappointed in terms of having good food but it’s a n international hotel/ chain restaurant so it’s not a very personal Portuguese experience.

    Opted for the anchovy and pepper bruschetta for entrée. It was fresh and appetising. then tried the Forno Nero risotto and the shrimp linguini for main. Both had a very rich taste. Staff was friendly and the decor was chic. An absolutely pleasant experience.

    My first time at this restaurant. I booked the restaurante because was near the train station and was an Italian restaurant. Was an amazing experience. The space it’s really lovely, wood and iron. The food was really good. We eat entrances, pizza, risotto, and pasta. Everything was really fine. The deserts between chocolate mousse and waffles with Nutella was also good. Thank you

    Good vibe, very clean and nice interior design. The food, on the other side, is kind of mediocre and by no means traditional. The type of italian restaurant that makes carbonara with cream.
