Fausto - Brooklyn

One of the rare places where, while expensive, has always left me feeling like I got a good deal. The food is flat-out outstanding, I’ve never had a dish that was even just “good.” Even the salads are “how the hell are they doing this” excellent. The atmosphere is elegant but not stuffy, and judicious use of sound treatment means it never gets noisy, even when packed. It’s a small thing, but being able to carry on a conversation without raising your voice really heightens the experience for me. Finally, the service is perhaps the most impressive. Attentive, knowledgeable staff, and some of the best bartenders in Brooklyn. Sit at the bar and your water will never be empty, you drinks will never be empty, your dirty plates will be gone immediately, all before you even think to ask. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. It tends to fill up but go early and sit at the bar. You won’t be disappointed!

I love Fausto! Excellent and consistent high quality food, great service, nice atmosphere, and they’ve been helpful in trying to accommodate me when I sought a reservation on a night they were already booked, texting me various options and times if I had the flexibility to come at a different time. I also love that they have a seasonal menu. Solid all around and I love taking others there because Fausto never disappoints.

We celebrated our anniversary dinner at Fausto and were treated like royalty! From the moment we stepped in the door, staff were attentive, patient, and professional. They bent over backwards to accommodate our dietary needs and answered all of our questions. The food was outstanding and we loved the cozy seating in the restaurant's wine cellar. Two days later, and we are still talking about the amazing pasta! A delight, highly recommend, thank you Fausto!!

One of our favorite places. A neighborhood and NYC gem.

An absolutely outstanding meal. The housemade pastas are all outrageously good the tagliatelle with veal bolognese, the papardelle with lamb ragu, the chitarra with mixed mushrooms are all amazing. So is the housemade focaccia. And the cocktails are pretty damn good too!
