Had a lovely early dinner with Mrs, food was fantastic and service was excellent. We opted for the squid ink spaghetti with shrimp and a pizza, starting with bruchetta and accompanied with a fine bottle of wine (see image) which was smooth and velvety. We had a yummy panacotta to share to finish off. Received excellent service from the staff and management. Special mention to Diogo who looked like a young Ronaldo who was happy to provide recommendations and light conversation. Management kindly offered us a complimentary glass of white port which was from a personal collection and not listed in the menu. Far and away the best experience we've had from a culinary and service quality perspective during our stay in Faro. Kudos to them. Highly recommended

I’d been eyeing up this restaurant during my time in Faro and finally managed to pop in on the final day of my trip. And I’m so glad I did. I started with the tomato and garlic bruschetta, which was light, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. My main course was squid ink spaghetti and prawns, which was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had anywhere. The slightly salty flavour of the black spaghetti was complemented perfectly by the sweetness of the tomatoes and garlic prawns. The sauce which was a perfect and light consistency. I’m still thinking about how good this meal was.

This is a lovely restaurant. They’ve got great ambience both inside and outside. The service is very fast and friendly. The waiters can suggest alterations to the menu to suit your preferences. They have one vegetarian pasta and one vegetarian pizza - both are excellent but you can ask to customise the other options on the menu to just not have meat. Don’t think it can be made vegan though! The bruschetta is heaven - so fresh in the heat of the algarve! The price is also very fair for the food - around €40 euros for 2 Mains and a starter with 2 drinks.

I went here based on the previous reviews - big disappointment. Previous reviewers must have killed their taste buds with too much booze, cigarettes and fish and chips. I've eaten in 100s of Italians restaurants globally and this is average at best. Pizza base was crispy but had a lot of water on top. Pasta bland and not fresh. Service above average. I strongly recommend Ria Formosa Lounge Bar and Restaurant in Faro hotel and beach club.

Really nice restaurant in Faro downtown. Quiet a nice surprise. I was not looking for an Italian but I've bumped into this place and I was impressed with the quality of the food (I had pasta). The food was well prepared and really tasty. The desserts were also quiet good. I believe that service needs to be a little faster but they were also nice and friendly. Parking is not easy (Paid parking is available at a 5 min walk).

Aunque la comida no estaba mal, el servicio brindado por el camarero fue pésimo, y lamentablemente eso cuenta mucho en la experiencia. Pensamos en sentarnos afuera, tienen una linda terracita a la entrada, pero como vimos que hacía viento y teniamos el carrito del bebé, terminamos decidiendo por entrar. El camarero había salido ya a la terraza con los menús y nos los quería dar sin siquiera habernos sentado. Cuando le dijimos q íbamos a entrar, nos revoleó los ojos, se llevó los menús adentro com cara de poca paciencia. Nos sentamos y nos ignoró unos buenos 10 minutos hasta volver a tomarnos el pedido. El lugar no estaba lleno, y el otro camarero que había estaba sonriendo y con buena disposición. Cuando hacemos preguntas sobre el menú, responde sin la más mínima simpatía y mirando para cualquier lado, cero interés. Pedimos un carpaccio (13€) que estaba muy bueno, luego dos pinças, una prociutto y hongos, y la otra con hongos, gorgonzola y salame. (Aprox 13€ cada una, un poco caro a mi parecer, pero de sabor estaban buenas). Uma botella de agua 3€. No es un lugar accesible para sillas de ruedas. Se puede pagar con tarjeta.
