The host is very warm and welcoming. The menu has English descriptions We ordered: Ravioli con fiori di zucchini, stracciatella e pomodorini: It was delicious and they divided into 2 plates as our appetizer. All ingredients fresh and soft bread to clean it all up in the end. Costolette di Agnello con verdure di stagione: These lamb pops were thick and juicy with a very tasty crumb and herb crust. Amazing flavor combinations, bravo. Guancette di Maiale Brasate e pure di patate: Braised pork cheeks with mashed potatoes This was a very flavorful dish as well! The meat just falls apart and when combined with some of the potatoes makes for a delicious mouthful! Finished off with a Tiramisu Everything we tried was perfect. We gave 4 stars due to our server being worth about 2 stars. He was obviously treating us poorly and ignoring us due to the fact that we are Americans. Acting very distant and not helpful. He was very polite and helpful to the Italian families around us. He took their orders before ours, when they sat much later than us and he was very short when dealing with our table. He never checked on our table and we had to order dessert from the busboy. The rest of the serving staff was delightful.

We dined Al fresco, they had tables set up outside which was perfect, the view of the piazza was wonderful. The service was impeccable, since our Italian is very limited they were kind enough to help us through the menu options which by the way were also in English. For our meals I had the steak which was cooked perfectly and it was served with potatoes which I hear are excellent but because of dietary reasons I switched to other veggies which was delightful. My girlfriend had the lamb chops which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our friend ordered the tuna which was really good. For dessert we shared the tiramisu and the crème brûlée. They were magnificent. What are perfect dining experience and to top it off the price was unbelievable! What a gem!

This is definitely a restaurant designed for tourists. Three slices of bread were tossed on the table in a paper bag, along with two packages of Parmesan cheese.

We ate lunch and dinner at IL FAUNO nearly every day (stayed right around the corner)as the food, atmosphere, and the staff was GREAT! I couldn't make a higher recommendation! FOOD: I had a lot of excellent dishes, but the ones that stand out the most were: - Bigoli con l'arna - thick homemade spaghetti with duck liver sauce - Plate of mixed cold cuts and cheeses - amazing assortment, freshly cut - "Marco Polo" - perfect assortment of ingredients on a expertly cured pizza - Pasticcio di melanzane - Eggplant lasagna (a rare (not on the menu) specialty) ATMOSPHERE: Very open and inviting foyer/bar area. Lots of room for dining with families and larger social gatherings. Eating in their rustic outback area is a treat especially in the summer time (yes they have A/C). STAFF: This is a family owned and run business from the front of the bar to the back of the kitchen. The same family members have been there since 1991 and they seem to know everyone that comes in...treating them all as family as well. Professional, courteous, and friendly. The cashier/bartender and head waiter speak perfect English and are especially familiar with US customers, making the experience truly enjoyable. The only bad thing is that now I know I will be dissapointed in every "Italian" restaurant I eat in back in the states...

The interior boasts plenty of wooden tables and excellent interior design, spacious and looks like it can accommodate large groups with ease. We didn't have a reservation, but there were tables available on the covered patio. There is also open air seating, and it was a perfect night for dining while watching the sun disappear as we enjoyed our cuisine. A litre of excellent vino rosso cost us €6,50, and was a perfect accompaniament to our bruschetta with salmon (€5,80). My Penne All'Arrabbiata came in also at €6,50 and was a perfect balance of flavors and spice. The wife loved her Bigoli al Ragu, also €6,50. Our daughter enjoyed her Gnocchi with a creamy sauce (€6,50!!!), but I would recommend everyone sharing it as an appetizer as the cream sauce thickens as it cools, and she was pretty much full by that point. Our son went with the Pizza Viennese, which he liked - a large pizza for only €5,80 Cover charge (Coperto) is €1 per person, so add the €2 for water and our total bill came to €43,60 for a chance visit to a most excellent restaurant. There is free Wi-Fi with a password you get from the staff, but it didn't seem to properly connect. There are a ton of pizzas to choose from as well as a slew of beers and other beverages. I noticed a lot of the Italians ordering the Aperol and Campari Spritzers, so we may try that next time on another "bella notte" as we will definitely be returning. See you there!

Give yourself a little extra time because you will definitely want to stop a Monte Berico and enjoy the view and take in the city from above. As for this wonderful dining facility.... They have lots of seating and plenty of large butcher block style tables. Great for large groups. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere along with a fun screen playing 80's MTV videos. It's a little NQR(Not Quite Right), but that was the joy of it. It wasn't loud and didn't take away from the beauty of the restaurant and overall experience. My meal was so tasty. I had the spaghetti carbanara, and my son enjoyed the pizza marinara. The gnocchi was very rich and should be shared. Four or five pieces and you might feel full. They were fabulous, but just too rich to have as an entire meal. This will be a must for any guests coming to visit us.
