First time there, cannot wait to go back. From being greeted at the bar for a delicious martini to our tiramisu to go, Il Faro is everything you could want from a local top tier – yet casual – restaurant. Simply put, I felt like I was eating from my grandmother’s kitchen.

This has been my favorite restaurant in the capital region for years! The appetizers, the entrees, the desserts, the wine, the cocktails: you cannot make a bad choice. Every single thing I have ever had here is fantastic. Not to mention how kind and wonderful the owners are. The atmosphere is perfect, and I always leave happy! Always the best experience!

We stopped by this place on our way back home from Canada, and we were welcomed with lovely atmosphere and service. Our waiter was amazing very nice and all the staff were very welcoming and warm and attentive. The food was very good couldn’t go wrong with any of the dishes. We got the Marsala, penne vodka, and morracan lamb. They were all very delicious and we enjoyed our meal and dining experience!! A must try !!!

The restaurant is cozy and the menu was interesting, we were glad to see vegetarian/vegan options. Our waitress was very friendly & working extremely hard, but was handling about 15 tables alone, along with one runner. The food was very good but mine was lukewarm, and some of us had no drinks for the entire meal ( we were able to flag the waitress down about half way through to request them but were done eating by the time they arrived). There were some nice mixed drinks, but very limited & somewhat pricey options for wine.

The manager and staff are excellent. The food is very delicious and one good thing you don’t have to wait for long on your food. My girls and I enjoy going there.

The best kept secret! Locally owned. All of their food is made fresh and tastes amazing. Great portions. Once you have their fresh made mozzarella sticks, you will never have frozen again! Everytime we visit Albany, we go out of our way to eat here.

Went there last night on the recommendation of the 518 Foodie group, and everything was perfect! Great food, great atmosphere, and the front house/bar tender/ owner absolutely killed it! She was making drinks for a packed bar and the entire restaurant single handedly with a smile on her face the whole time. It was so impressive to watch. I would have came back for the food, but I will be back just for the passion and love you see in the owners face doing what she loves. Loved it there!

1st time here for a birthday dinner. Everything was excellent, the staff were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! Food was very good and we all left with full bellies! We will definitely return for more gatherings.
