Faros Holborn

We placed a last minute reservation through the website, it was very easy to book. Even though my birthday was due the next day, Suny made it a very memorable occasion. He was very attentive and good humoured. We’d never tried artichoke and asparagus cooked this well before , and the mains were so good! Probably the best seafood risotto I’ve tried and my husband loved the beef ragu. Ending the night with tiramisu,lemon sorbet and chocolate gelato was delightful. We look forward to visiting again.

Faros Italian Restaurant in Holborn is an absolute gem and one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in London. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a wonderful atmosphere, an elegant setting, and a carefully curated menu full of authentic Italian delights. Every dish we ordered was exceptional. We enjoyed the Margherita Pizza, Burrata Tagliata, Seafood Linguini, and the Insalata di Carciofi Marinati con Avocado, which came with an incredibly refreshing dressing that perfectly complemented the ingredients. For dessert, the homemade Tiramisu was simply the best I've ever had. The Panna Cotta, Gelato, and Lemon Sorbet were equally delicious and left everyone at the table happy. A special thank you to our waitress, Dilek, for her kindness, attentiveness, and fantastic recommendations throughout the evening. We'd also like to thank the restaurant manager, Ivan, who generously treated us to some legendary Limoncellos at the end of our meal. Thank you both for the outstanding hospitality and for making our evening so special. If you scroll all the way to the end of the photos, you'll understand exactly what we mean when we say that those Limoncellos left us feeling like we were dining on cloud nine! 😊 Highly recommended, and we can't wait to return.

Had an amazing dining experience at Faros! Special thanks to Oreo for the warm hospitality and friendly service — he made us feel so welcome throughout the whole evening. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the truffle pasta and the risotto mare, and both were incredibly authentic and full of flavor. And the tiramisu… honestly the best tiramisu I’ve had in London so far! Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for great Italian food and excellent service.

Really lovely visit. There’s an upstairs, downstairs (which looked super cosy) and some outdoor seating if the weather is nice enough. Attentive, efficient, noninvasive service. Really enjoyed the dishes we ordered (I had a little food envy of my friend’s seafood pasta). Comfort food, wholesome food done well with lots of fresh flavour. Tiramisu was delicious (more creamy than coffee). Fresh lemonade was very citrusy. Menu has plenty of choice. The only “less positive” observation is the price vs portion size - that’s the only reason it’s a 4 instead of 5 star. I appreciate it’s harder for hospitality these days (so I do get it and the food is clearly high quality), but I only ate a few hours ago and I’m already so hungry I could eat the same again - and my appetite is not even that big.
