Trattoria Al Faro

The food was good as recommend by the water. I ordered vegetarian stuff through takeaway. The place is expensive btw. The place has a partial sea view should you choose to sit outside.

The food was good, the terrace is nice and have views to the sea and the city. The menu is ok, I really recommend to try their basta... it’s sooo good! The only black shadow it’s the service..... I am still laughing thinking about the waiter that really push us to choose all the same plates from the menu “because they have a small kitchen”... it’s funny, because we were four people, and “the big deal” was that instead of having the same main course the four of us, two people wanted the pasta con le vongole and the other two another kind of pasta. Cannavacciulo would have screamed at this! But anyway, apart of this awkward moment, everything was fine and I hope I’ll be back soon. Just one suggestion: please, choose the pasta you prefer most... to have a little kitchen and 90 seats it’s a really poor excuse ?

Very kind staff and great food. The restaurant has a magnificent view of the sea. The road next to the restaurant is a bit busy, but it does not take away from the charm of the whole experience. The menu is in Italian, but ask for the waiters help and opinion and they will gladly help. I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone! ?

Service is exelent, food is very tasty, however portions are small and I wish to improve it! Prices are normal (two persons around 70 EUR incl first, second and vine)

Yes, the view is great; the prices surely reflect the portions, however they do not really provide an exceptional taste with that. Having been a part of the hospitality sector front and back, I know how hard it can be to serve a group with a small kitchen - by the way, that is what they told us, not that I judged the capacity myself. However, blaming the kitchen size is not the best way to cover for disorganization. I know that we are going through tough times, most places are understaffed, people rush in at the same time and it is generally hard to keep up with everything. That is why we are just grateful to have something to eat and not expecting extraordinary efforts while restaurants still have many expenses to keep going. BUT... There are some very basic things to keep the tables organised, especially if there are more than 3 - 4 people. They tried, very annoyingly, hard to make everyone order from a limited selection, so that the main courses can arrive more or less at the same time without putting too much pressure on the kitchen. Even though we expressed our indifference to the main courses arriving in various times, we were not able to select freely from the menu. So, we ordered what we were told, but even with that from the beginning of the wine service everything was placed and carried away in such a chaotic manner that we couldn't follow the traffic on the table. We were not in a rush, we could have waited another two minutes for someone to take the empty plates from the table before trying to fit in the new ones. We lost the same amount of time trying to move everything. I am guessing there is an ongoing fight at the background about all this. Many of the bad reviews are for the service. I hope they work on the motivation and education of the staff without pushing them to their limits. I have never worked with "enough" staff in my life; we always had to do something extra for steadily diminishing salaries. Surely, I cannot know the real reason behind these instances for a specific place. But I know from experience that providing a calm, maybe slow but systematic service is easier to back up in these pressing times. Antipasto misto completo was nice. Many in the group had grigliata mista and it might be the fastest and the safest choice if you are in a group.

Restorant with beautifull view and delicious food. The waiter from the photo spiled the impression. He was rude and he imposed his choice of food, explaining that everything alse will be long waiting. Of the end by his displeased, he sent other waiter to accept our order. Very unprofessional.

Very nice location with excellent food for fair prices Overlooking the bay of Triest from a shady terrace

Very friendly staff and amazing food and wine. Loved the delicious scallops! Beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy lunch with family. Highly recommend!!!
