Fausto

I had the pleasure of dining at Fausto’s last night with my family . My niece picked this restaurant since someone recommended it to her . I have dairy and gluten allergies and they were able to accommodate me. The food was delicious , everyone was loving all the different dishes we ordered . The service, ambiance and food are top notch . I’d definitely go back again.

What a lovely meal. I came here for a birthday dinner. We were seated downstairs in a bit of a cozy nook. I had orange wine for the first time which was so cool to try. We ordered arancini and focaccia as starters. I had the pork orecchiette for dinner which was very good. But the star of the show was that focaccia! You must try it, it’s like no other focaccia. It was amazing. Highly recommend checking this spot out if you’re in Brooklyn.

Excellent excellent excellent! Every single part of our meal here was wonderful. Fausto aces the ambiance, sound levels, execution and presentation. Will certainly come back here soon. Notable great dishes we tried: crispy potatoes, arancini, Brussels sprouts, lamb tagliatelle.

No labeled vegan options on the menu but I asked the waiter and they were able to accommodate. They can make the gem and cauliflower salads vegan. They also have an off-menu vegan pasta with house made tomato and basil sauce. I had the pasta and it was tasty.

Perfect for dinner with parents. The food is solid, with the tagliatelle as a clear winner. The little gem salad was perfect. Everything feels exactly as you'd expect from this dimly lit, higher price-point, casual-occasion spot. I’d say this is the perfect Midtown neighborhood spot, right by Grand Army Plaza. If I had one comment, it would be about the music, which occasionally tipped into ultra-upbeat territory as a nod to the 30-something Brooklyn crowd, which felt out of step with the ambiance and the menu. My suggestion is to skip the trendy touches, as the charm of this place shines when it doesn’t try too hard.

The salad was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The bread was disappointing since it wasn’t warm or crusty as expected. Of the three pasta dishes we ordered, only one was good while the other two missed the mark on flavor and texture. The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly!

Very disappointing. Celebrated a birthday and we all were less that satisfied and left the restaurant less that satisfied after ordering appetizers and main courses. Arancini (4 small golf balls), salad (a few leaves of lettuce), and I forget the others. I ordered the $42.00 steak and it was finished in 4-5 forkfuls. It was barely 1/2" thick, thinly sliced and spread across the plate. Potatoes were tasty and it was cooked the way I ordered it. Of the three pasta dishes that I tasted from others, one could not ignore the strong lemon flavor in all of them (who puts lemon in an Italian pasta dish?), and my wife had difficulty finding the lamb in the lamb ragout and the strong lemon flavor. WHY LEMON! Drinks were good, fish was cooked well, and enjoyed the very small ramakin of dessert.

The orecchiette was so SALTY. When I read the description, I thought 'mmmm, fennel braised pork and tuscan kale yum yum hrrrbrrr"... if you ever think about ordering this, stop. Stay home, save some money, and pull the lid off your Morton salt, then pour it into your mouth. It's basically the same meal.

Good food, good service, terrible seating. Our party of 4 was seated at a two-top turned sideways: everyone was cramped and our legs jutted out into uncomfortably into the aisle. If you enjoy the middle seat of a crowded airplane, you’ll love dining with your friends at Fausto.

Massively overhyped. Bland food, laughably small portions, and service that acts like they’re doing you a favor. Absolute waste of money. I also want to point out, the bartender with the brown full ponytail (NOT THE ONE WITH THE HALF UP HAIR STYLE) Ruined my experience and my tip reflected it. Disrespectful and condescending tone when speaking. Slapping the bar to get my date’s attention during our conversation, and then when asked about the bill (because she missed my appetizer, everything is in a different language, and it’s hard for me to see in low light) she had the nerve to act like I was trying to dispute something. Or get out of paying. Servers A1 professionals. Bar needs to be revamped. Reservations at the bar are looked at as less than. At least by the hostess standards.
