Il Faro Alessandria Reviews
Istituzione ad alessandria... se vuoi la.farinata e sei del.Cristo... devi passare di qui. ATTENZIONE, qui la.fila.per essere serviti è kilometrica.... il posto è super gettonato. Pero se chiamate , vi prenotate le ordinazioni e nle giro di 10 minuti dall orario scelto, vi servono
Everything was excellent. The owners and staff were very kind.
We had some freshly baked farinata slices, which were truly delicious. Highly recommended!
Very self-service, but the farinata was delicious. The pizza was good (for my taste), so you practically serve yourself, but overall, it was good. The staff was quick and very friendly. I'll definitely be back.
If the owners of this gem of a pizzeria were politicized or paid some sycophantic journalist, they'd be worthy of a mention in Gambero Rosso or the Michelin Guide, as other restaurants around Italy so desperately seek. Fantastic pan pizzas made with top-quality ingredients. My favorites are buffalo burrata and porchetta, stracchino and pesto, diavola, pugliese, and margherita, which in its simplicity reveals the exquisiteness of Il Faro's pan pizzas. The owners aren't very friendly but are super professional. A true gem.
We stumbled upon Farinata there by chance (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐rare, so good these days), pan pizza⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent, we also tried the onion focaccia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (amazing), and the agnolotti were exquisite. Everything was very good... but don't expect a top-notch restaurant because there's no table service or fancy decor... but these are the places where you eat best in my opinion.
Il Faro is in my top 3 favorite restaurants of all time. I'm 31 and have been eating their delicious pizza since I was 8. It has never changed, the flavor is impossible to describe or replicate. Delicious. The dimensions are different from the usual pizzas; theirs is square, but a smaller pan pizza is also available. The place is truly unique; wood, tribal masks, and African statuettes dot the rooms, walls, and counter. The atmosphere is warm and positive. I recommend it to everyone. Takeout is also available.
Simple, welcoming and spartan place. Do-it-yourself service. Finally a place where you feel at ease. Cheap price. Excellent quality. The best farinata in recent years.
It's been a long time since I've been to this historic pizzeria in the Cristo neighborhood and I have to say that the pizza is always good even if the presentation has changed over time and the farinata is the best in the city! 3 generations serving a large neighborhood
Even after all these years, I still think it's the best pizza I've ever had. The place is well-maintained, the staff are friendly, polite, helpful, and welcoming. It's been a family business for years, growing but always delivering. The ultimate.
What can I say? Il Faro is a historic restaurant in Alessandria. I go there almost every week! The farinata and pan pizzas are truly delicious. The staff is very friendly and really know what they're doing. Definitely worth a try!
Good
A casual place, there's no service, which makes you feel a little more at home. The pan pizzas, despite being smaller, are filling. The quality is good, though the dough may have a little too much salt. The prices are excellent, and the desserts are delicious. Friendly staff. Clean place.
The sliced pizza is very good; I personally really like the soft, flavorful, and easily digestible dough. I also recently tried the farinata, which, compared to a few years ago, I considered one of the best in Alessandria, if not the best; now, however, it no longer seems to be at that level. The variety of bottled beers is good, although I think a Weiss is missing. Self-service service, fair prices.
Delicious pizza by the pan or by the slice! The farinata is also excellent. You can dine in (no table service) or take away. Ideal for a quick meal with friends or colleagues in a warm and informal atmosphere. Pleasant interior decor. Beer and soft drinks are available, as are packaged desserts. On weekends, it's best to book for takeout.
Da sempre ho preso la farinata da asporto al Faro, secondo me la migliore di Alessandria. Questa sera ho deciso di cenare presso il locale. Al di là del servizio, che devi farti self-service..e ci s…
I enjoy returning to this place from time to time, as it certainly has a long history of serving farinata, and over time, it has added much more. I'd suggest developing a more efficient communication system to meet customer expectations. Technology can help a lot! Fair prices, average quality. I personally would try using less salt...but it's better to get more feedback before committing to that. In my case, it's a matter of an emotional connection, combined with fair prices, that encourages me to stop by occasionally.
Farinata sempre buona,pizza tendente al gramo. Unica preoccupazione leggere il green pass appena messo piede dentro,con tanto di catenaccio difensivo da aprire e chiudere a cura del cliente. E con tanto di cartello "la mascherina si toglie solo al tavolo",e per mangiare vorrei ben vedere,e il tutto a pochissimi giorni dal liberi tutti. Mah......
Very nice place, very good food, the only problem was the 50 minute wait for the pizza al taglio when the clerk had told me it would take 10 minutes.
Entri e neanche salutano, dopo 20 minuti di attesa con la donna che serviva pizze per l'asporto non siamo stati minimamente considerati, l'educazione sopra ogni cosa...
Preso pizza da asporto servita nell alluminio e non nel solito cartone salva calore e stato… risultato mozzarella spiaccicata contro l alluminio.. inoltre e’ risultata estremamente unta.. anche la fa…
It's been a long time since we went to this historic pizzeria, maybe a greeting when a customer enters would be a must, after 20 minutes of waiting without even being considered with the woman who must have passed in front of us countless times we left
