Italian cuisine a stone′s throw from the Trevi Fountain
Il Nuovo Faro
Restaurant & Pizzeria
ABOUT US
Il Nuovo Faro of Rome is a restaurant-pizzeria that offers the best of Italian cuisine just 150 meters from the Trevi Fountain. Open continuously from 8 am to 11:30 pm, it is a place suitable for all times of the day, with bar-cafe service for breakfast and aperitifs.
It was established in 2016, inheriting the legacy of the historic restaurant The Lighthouse, where the current owners used to work as employees.
In a simple and elegant location, we provide our customers with approximately 100 seats between the indoor dining room and outdoor patio.
THE VENUE
Our venue is a warm embrace in the heart of Rome, where elegance merges with genuine hospitality. The soft lighting creates an intimate atmosphere, while attentive service turns every moment into a special occasion.
Come and experience a culinary journey that goes beyond a simple meal. In our restaurant, elegance becomes a sensory journey, care translates into encompassing flavors, and passion reflects in every detail.

CUISINE

From the cornerstones of Roman tradition to the national ones

The cuisine, though based on the four pillars of Roman tradition (carbonara, matriciana, gricia, cacio e pepe), spans all national dishes, from North to South.
Seafood dishes are not lacking, such as lobster or seafood linguini, fried dishes, and mixed grills.
We favor slow cooking methods that can best enhance each ingredient, pairing the dishes with a rich wine list.
The quality of our meats is exceptional, coming from a historic butcher shop in Rome, with which we also prepare excellent hamburgers.
The same goes for vegetables and other raw materials that stuff our pizzas made with long-fermented dough, for a fragrant and light flavor.

The level of kindness and friendliness that the restaurant offers are truly rare! Excellent food and a super wide choice even for my celiac friend who was finally able to taste the typical Roman pastas without any limit on the options. My amatriciana was simply excellent and super seasoned! Highly recommended!

Restaurant with the best food and the kindest people. We will definitely come back here. The best of the best!!!!!!
Ignacio Solano
We started with ham and melon and it was perfect, because the melon was nice and sweet. We ordered spaghetti carbonara and fettuccine al faro and they were more than perfect. The carbonara was very tasty and had lots of bacon. The faro fettuccine had a lot of beef and tasted great too. Both pastas were cooked al dente, to perfection.
