    We sat outdoors and it was very private, even though the patio was off the boardwalk of the resort. The setting was surrounded by beautiful, tropical plants and palm trees, adding to the ambiance of our fine dining experience. I had the Gamberi Al Vino Bianco, which was shrimp sauteed in white wine with lemon zest, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I've eaten shrimp around the globe and this was one of the best shrimp dishes I've ever had. Everyone in our party was delighted with their menu choices for dinner and drinks, including the lovely Tiramisu dessert that was prepared tableside. Tramonto has exquisite Italian cuisine and provides a memorable dining experience for guests with a menu that has budget friendly options, along with high end offerings. I often think of Italian cuisine as being heavy with sauces and pastas but there was a lightness to our dishes from the bruschetta to the lasagna, and including the Tiramisu dessert that helped us enjoy the meal even more. This restaurant is a true gem.

    It was all I was hoping for - a sublime meal in a romantic setting overlooking one of the prettiest views I’ve ever seen! The father and son who own and host this lighthouse restaurant greeted us warmly and gave us just the right amount of attention and perfect service. We chose one of the “sampler” plates so we could share seafood and beef and other complementary sides. We don’t drink alcohol so we got delicious “mocktails” - very pretty. For dessert they prepared a crepe in orange sauce with ice cream right at our table to top off our meal in style! Lovely experience. We were delighted we had chosen El Faro for my birthday dinner.
