Il Faro In Milano

First the good things: 1. Place's design looks ok, nothing amazing about it, old traditional itallian restaurant 2. Everything super clean and shiny and for been a place that specialize in sea food has a good smell The average things: 3. Service is a bit weak. The waiter is friendly and quick to take order but lacks of motivation to make suggestions and offer options and the way he serves is like he had 0 school or training on the matter, pouring wine over you, the plate was put odly in the middle instead of in front and lacks of motivation when ask for suggestions on the menu. 4. White wine was really good, I asked for dry one and he delivered, but then leaved the bottle open in front of me instead of chilling it (I ask just for 1 cup) The bad things: 5. I order shrimps with oil and garlic for starter and they were just plain, tasteless and they even thre into the plate a couple of dirty coriander leaves... just sad. You can tell that they were those small shrimps you can buy frozen in a super store ... but guess what?: those 12 tiny shrimps (i count them), cost me €20 euros... almost 2 times the cost of a full 350gr frozen bag of.shrimps in PAM 6. For main dish I order the "rombo" fish and guess what... AGAAAAIN!!!. Same de-frozed taste in parts and others not so bad, so I cannot guarantee it was frozen from supermarket but sure not what I expected from Milano, with tastless sparragus. I had to add salt like 3 times and of course... $20 euros. The sauce tho it was freshly made you could tell and not so bad 7. Bread on table was old and chewy. If you want not good... AMAZING, fish, you can eat in Mercato Centrale, by the main train statiom, for the same price. Amazing quality and amazingly cooked... this place is not worthy, yesterday I ate in Milano Centrale oysters + fish fillet (catch of the day) +wine and potatoes for 41 euros in Mercato Centrale. Today in this place i paid €50+ for a fish without flavor, defrozed shrimps, 1 cup of wine and sparkling water. Not coming back

Top quality and quantity, plus super welcome and kindness. What a nice place!!! you leave very satisfied. Compliments.

I have been going to this restaurant for years and every time it is a pleasure: excellent management, attentive staff and excellent food.

Very good Catalan-style grilled fish and octopus, pleasant lunch break

I rarely express myself by giving the highest rating, but this is a case that deserves it. Passing through, without knowing the place, I was inspired by the intimate environment. And I wasn't even hungry! You enter and are greeted by an abundance of fish of all kinds, live lobsters and lobsters. You may like it or not but it is always a nice business card for a restaurant that mainly offers fish. I found an exquisite service with friendly staff and an owner who was always helpful and friendly. The prices are absolutely normal especially if you take into account that we are in Milan and we are talking about fresh fish! Large portions, just right and absolutely not risky. The dessert (chocolate and pear cake) was really good especially because it was served warm. a truly honorable mention goes to the lemon sorbet because, finally, you don't drink a crushed ice lolly, but it looks more like an ice cream, a cream. Very pleasant indeed! If I didn't live over 100 km away, I would certainly come here more often. Beautiful discovery! Really recommended.

Dated place, average food, medium-high prices

The staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The food is very well done and a compliment to the kitchen.

Locale abbastanza piacevole con poco spazio tra i tavoli. Personale nella media. Pesce fresco, ma non sempre cucinato con attenzione. Buona la carta dei vini. Prezzo eccessivo per molti piatti

Ho pranzato per lavoro al Faro, ospite di persone che lo frequentano abitualmente. Ho apprezzato molto il piatto di crudo e ho trovato molto buono il branzino al forno con i carciofi. Non ho idea del costo poiché ero ospite e il menù lo ha deciso chi ci ha invitato. Location direi molto anni ‘80/‘90, proprietario simpatico così come i camerieri. Mi sento di consigliarlo soprattutto per il crudo che era ottimo.

5 star resort, all deserved. The structure is very beautiful and full of services for guests: heated swimming pools, hammam, equipped beach, tennis and padel courts, fitness, various bars and 5 restaurants, one of which is excellent Italian. Very large, well-equipped rooms. Highly recommended in the not too hot months when you would lose the enjoyment of all the external structures due to the high temperatures. Fully satisfied
