  “Had such a gorgeous evening here, with impeccable service from the wonderful Ivan and the team. The atmosphere was warm and buzzing, and the food was delicious - we had wagyu beef, prawns, truffle pizza, beef ragu, tiramisu and lava cake. All were delicious and would highly recommend! Thank you so much for a perfect meal ❤️🌟”

  “Great restaurants. Nadia and Suny have great hospitality, making me so comfortable. For food, all were awesome whilst truffle pasta is oily and heavy for me. It was definitely yummy but I recommend you order a different pasta if you don't like creamy pasta. They provide different kinds of pasta, so you can order tomato based pasta or seafood pasta!”

  “We had such a lovely experience at Faros Holborn. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly by the team, and the whole atmosphere immediately felt friendly, relaxed and inviting. The food was excellent throughout. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can really tell that a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the preparation. The service also matched the quality of the food perfectly, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. A very special mention has to go to DILEK, who is from Turkey. She was absolutely wonderful and genuinely made our visit memorable. She welcomed us with such a warm and friendly attitude and was incredibly attentive throughout the evening without ever making us feel rushed or interrupted. She regularly passed by our table to check whether everything was okay, whether we needed anything else, and most importantly, it always felt genuine rather than something she was simply doing because it was part of the job. What really stood out was her personality. DILEK was kind, cheerful, professional and very easy to talk to. It is always nice when someone working in hospitality makes you feel that they genuinely care about whether you are enjoying your evening, and DILEK definitely gave us that feeling. Small touches like checking on us, smiling whenever she passed the table and making sure we were comfortable made a huge difference. The rest of the team were also extremely welcoming and professional, and you could feel that there is a really positive atmosphere among the staff. Combined with the delicious food and beautiful setting, it made for a fantastic experience from beginning to end. We left Faros Holborn very happy and will definitely be returning. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food accompanied by genuinely warm hospitality. And thank you again to DILEK for looking after us so well — you made an already lovely dinner feel even more special. Five stars from us!”

  “A beautiful Italian restaurant with friendly staff, elegant exterior, warm interior, and wonderful food. Perfect for business lunch, family, or date night. A true gem. Greeted with a warm welcome when stepping through the doors. The delightful waiter, Suny, recognised us from our previous visit, remembered what we ordered, and was very knowledgeable about the menu, giving thoughtful recommendations. The food arrived very quickly. The taste exceeded my expectations. The truffle pizza was flavourful and the texture of the soft melted cheese on the thin base and crispy crust was perfect. Would also highly recommend the crispy calamari and spaghetti carbonara which came perfectly al dente. Finish off with complimentary lemonade shot. They also have a polaroid camera so ask them for a photo! A truly professional restaurant with great attention to detail and a memorable meal.”

  “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.”

  “We went there for birthday celebration. Seafood risotto and carbonara were out favourites! Food are overall nice. Staff was so kind - sang us birthday song while bringing our birthday cake (they allow guests to bring in their cake), even offered Polaroid photos for us! Special shoutout to Dilek who took care of us.”

  “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.”

  “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.”
