Farocafè Stuzzicherie In Ponza

Excellent artisanal pastries and croissants, just like in Naples

A great discovery, we ate very well, the price was a little high, but it was worth it, we will definitely be back.

The Faro restaurant on the island of Ponza impresses with its outstanding cuisine, which is significantly above the island average in both quality and preparation. Particularly noteworthy are the delicious parmigiana and the tasty pizzas. The prices are on the high side, but are justified by the culinary quality and the careful selection of ingredients. Another highlight is the location: Located directly on the harbor, the restaurant offers an impressive ambiance, creating a romantic atmosphere, especially in the evening. Combined with a well-stocked wine selection, the visit becomes a holistic culinary experience. In conclusion: A visit to Faro is highly recommended – both for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine and for guests who want to enjoy a special evening in stylish surroundings.

Located directly on the harbor of Ponza, the FARO restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere with a view of the sea – perfect for an aperitif at sunset or a casual dinner. This is what defines its Italian charm. The Neapolitan pizza from the wood-fired oven is a real highlight: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and topped with high-quality ingredients. The homemade Parmigiana di Melanzane is also highly recommended – hearty, aromatic, and wonderfully light. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. You can feel that their work is done with passion. The prices are moderate and absolutely appropriate for the location. A particularly pleasant feature: the selection of Italian craft beer, which you won't find everywhere. If you're looking for good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a beautiful view of the harbor, this is the place for you.

Restaurant Faro on Ponza is a very special place. We ate there three of our four evenings on Ponza and were delighted every time. It is located exclusively right next to the historic lighthouse with breathtaking views of the sea and the harbor. This unique location makes the visit an unforgettable experience. The cuisine impresses with its high quality: You won't find cheap fast food here, but rather reasonable prices for excellent service. I have to disagree with what the previous reviewers have said; I think the price is worth every cent and by no means overpriced: Every dish is fresh, finely balanced, and reflects the culinary tradition. I've never had such a great Parmigiana melanzana anywhere else! The pizza, too... Particularly noteworthy is the attentive and warm service, which combines professionalism with genuine hospitality. We were served immediately, and the food arrived quickly. Families also feel welcome – the restaurant knows how to create a familiar yet elegant atmosphere. We brought our young daughter with us, who was provided with a car seat. Also worth mentioning are the excellent wines and great beers. (The American Pale Ale from the island of Ponza is highly recommended.) A visit to Faro is more than just dinner—it's an experience combining enjoyment, atmosphere, and hospitality. Addendum: Canollo! They're also sensational.

The pizza was delicious and the people were very kind.

A charming and unique place! Under the Boronic lighthouse, just steps from the center, we started with a trio of Montanarine pizzas, then moved on to pizzas: I had the Margherita, and my partner the Nerano. Everything was delicious and light. The craft beers also deserve a special mention. The only flaw? We only discovered it at the end of our vacation. But we'll be back to Ponza and the lighthouse.

A place with a special energy: right in the center but away from the chaos; surrounded by the sea, you can observe all the nuances of the island. Excellent pizza, exceptional fried foods accompanied by excellent craft beer. We also had a babà worthy of the best Neapolitan pastry shops. Courteous and friendly staff.

...on the ferry, while talking about the sun, they told us, "Don't worry about your pale skin. If you want to leave with your ticket, you can board the ferry before the one you booked." So, red as a pepper, I was already in front of the ferry at 3:30 PM. Too bad it was the one you booked and there wouldn't be one before! So, two hours of waiting ahead of me. Next to the ferry, this bar and restaurant, "Il Faro," was the only salvation. We sat down, a kind, courteous, and very empathetic young lady arrived. We asked for two homemade gelatos, not pre-packaged ones, and were satisfied with two works of art (the mandorlato with caramelized almonds is out of this world! You have to try it!) and, after an hour, two coffees. For an hour and a half of hospitality, two ice creams, and two coffees, we paid €21, considering that even "in the worst bars in Caracas" 😆... in Italy, dessert costs €7-8 without the spectacular view that's offered there. I think I paid a fair price, also considering that, obviously, on an island, transportation costs for food are higher than on the mainland. A service deserves a price, and you have to be honest when making certain considerations. My humble opinion...

A small pizzeria located along the pier, where the pizza is truly excellent, made with a light and digestible dough and top-quality ingredients. The desserts are superb; I'm a fan of the babà, which was superb. The staff is extremely kind and professional, and the location is perfect, offering a truly enchanting view of the harbor and the island. In short, definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Ponza.
