Já-mmé Italian Restaurant Faro: An Italian Gem on the Edge of Faro 🌟🍝

Perfect Location and Hospitality
Já-mmé, a beautiful new restaurant, is conveniently located on the edge of Faro, behind the Forum shopping mall (only a 4-minute drive)! This gem is situated on the Almancil side of Faro, making it attractive for visitors from Almancil (a 14-minute drive). The name "Já-mmé" means "come eat with me" in Italian/Napolitan, which immediately conveys a sense of hospitality. 🌟

The Magic of Chef Fabrizio and Hostess Maria
Chef Fabrizio, a top chef from Naples, and his super lovely wife Maria, make you feel at home instantly. Fabrizio’s motto is: "IL LAVORO È DISCIPLINA E LA DISCIPLINA È LA CHIAVE DEL SUCCESSO," which means: "Work is discipline and discipline is the key to success." This is clearly reflected in the quality of the dishes and the service. 🍽️

Chef Fabrizio and Maria gained five years of experience at the renowned Italian restaurant Ernesto on the boulevard of Vila Real de Santo António (border with Spain). This year, they embarked on their own adventure with Já-mmé.

Put salt and pepper on the table. The dishes are great but could be a bit saltier for my taste. Other than that, top-notch!
