Pizzeria Il Faro - BRUNATE

Wow, the food was the best I have had in Italy, my brother and I got the pizza cakes Gustaso or something similar to that and it was amazing. My mother got the stuffed gnocchi with almonds, she said “ it’s so good I’m gonna cry.” Then we got a small dessert of tiramisu, and omg it was soo good. Then I went to the back with the owner and he showed me his oven and we took a picture! Then he took out some dough and he showed me how to make a pizza and all the tactics, so cool I did not expect it. He then gave my family and I the pizza for free and we took many pictures. We were gonna do a pizza making class but we didn’t book it bc we got one for free! This is the best food I had in Italy and my highlight of my Europe trip. It is worth the hike up. My pot of gold at the end of the table.

Lovely couple of servers, however overall overall experience was poor. I found hair in my food and sent it back, came back under cooked and cold. Told we could only sit on three tables in the shade even though it was not busy. Asked to be seated in the sun after I sent my food back and told no because all the tables were reserved. 5 minutes later they sat people down in the sun who said they did not reserve. One rude server and poor food ruined the experience.

Luckily we knew a local who recommended this place and I am so glad we braved the drive to get there. The food was unreal. All homemade and quite possibly one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Also had the homemade tiramisu and it was unreal. Getting there is a bit of a pain by car, but it’s well worth it. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well.

Locale alla base dell'ultima parte della scalinata per raggiungere il faro di Brunate. Locale piccolo, ordinato e ben organizzato con forno per pizze a vista. Menù vario e con molta possibilità di scelta. Disponibili diverse alternative per persone affette da celiachia o altre intolleranze (allergeni ben segnalati sul menu). Menzione d'onore per il tiramisù della casa davvero ottimo. Servizio molto attento e molto cortese. Davvero complimenti!

Personale simpatico piatti genuini e porzioni giuste prezzi onesti..consigliato...
