Nice place in Chernoarminska to go for some Italian food in Kiev. It si shaped as a sea lightouse. and IL FARO means "the lighthouse" in Italian.

It's really hard to find real italian food, which made by professional italian chief-cook Very delicious food, really best italian restaurant in Kiev. But with french (provance) design, for some strange reason - it doesn't look italian at all. More

I come here quite often as it is conveniently located near my office. Next to Panta Gruel this is my favorite Italian and it serves my favorite pizzas and soups, for the pasta Panta is much better. Prices are ok and usually no need to book in advance. More

Close your eyes and you are in Napoli. The Calzone was impressive. Minestrone soup was also very good. Risotto was good but average, may be in mushroom season, it can be better. Service was also good and found the prices of wines overpriced. Paid about 40 Euros for 2 people, no wine, and a shared dessert. Avoid being seated in... More
