Reviews Summary
Il Frantoio is celebrated for its authentic Italian cuisine, with many praising the fresh pasta dishes and signature truffle risotto. The charming atmosphere, especially the terrace views, adds to the dining experience. However, some have noted issues with service speed during special events and unexpected tax charges.
"Fantastic restaurant! Very authentic menu executed perfectly. Really enjoyed the pasta dishes all the pasta is made fresh! The quality of the ingredients along with wonderful flavours. Everything we had was great. We visited on our last night and wish we had earlier was best meal along with great atmosphere. The customer service was great from Ehab and great to see the chef come out and ask for feedback. 5stars if you are in Sharm book ahead and visit located i. The wonderful 4 seasons hotel."

"We came to four seasons for New Year's Eve.
Our choice was the Italian restaurant.
About the food: nothing to complain about everything was really excellent, even if a few liberties were taken with the menu.
The problem was the speed with which we were served : a 6-course menu was dispatched in 1:20, and the next courses were brought while we were busy eating the previous one. This is not worthy of a 5-star hotel where the menu costs $260 per person.
Surprise at the bill : out of a total of $840, more than $250 was for taxes and VAT. It was a real cold shower
Finally, we were invited to join the New Year's Eve party, where the first drink was supposedly on us. I can assure you that we did in fact pay for all our drinks.
To sum up: beautiful surroundings and excellent food, but I won't be coming back."
