Faros Holborn is an Italian and Mediterranean restaurant at 57 Gray’s Inn Road. Its menu is described as offering flavours of the sun, bringing together handmade pasta, fresh seafood, carefully cooked meat and colourful produce in a warm setting suited to lunch, dinner and special occasions.
Starters range from pizzetta marinara, minestrone, Caprese salad and bruschetta to calamari, octopus carpaccio, Wagyu bresaola and a generous antipasto selection. Prawns with artichokes add another seafood option, while the variety makes it easy for a table to build a shared opening course.
Handmade pasta includes carbonara, porcini pappardelle, truffle pasta, seafood linguine and tagliatelle with burrata, alongside a deeply flavoured beef ragù cooked for six hours. Chicken Milanese, porcini chicken, sea bass and beef fillet extend the main courses beyond pasta without leaving the restaurant’s Mediterranean focus.
Tiramisu, panna cotta, affogato, gelato and a rich chocolate dessert provide classic ways to finish. Wine and cocktails complement the food, while outdoor seating and private event options make Faros Holborn flexible for relaxed meals, group dinners and celebrations in this central part of London.
