Faros Oxford Circus 🇮🇹

You'll walk into Faros and immediately clock the warm lighting and packed tables—this place moves. The menu reads like someone's nonna got loose with fresh ingredients and actually respects Italian tradition without being precious about it. Expect proper handmade pasta, exceptional seafood dishes that justify their price point, and wine that complements rather than shows off. It's the kind of spot near Oxford Circus where locals book ahead because tourists haven't quite figured out that Great Portland Street is worth the detour. Service is genuinely knowledgeable without the pretension you'd normally expect from somewhere this good.
