Fausto is quickly becoming my favorite neighborhood spot, and I don’t even live in the neighborhood! Staff goes out of their way to take care of you from the moment you walk in the door. I’ve tried nearly everything on the menu, and I can’t wait to go back and try everything again!
If we could give it 10, we definitely would! Everything from the food, the decor, the wine, and the service was FABULOUS! One of the best places we have ever eaten!
One of the best new restaurants in Brooklyn. Gracious service, followed by amazing food. Pasta is the star here. Carefully crafted beauties and Joey’s amaro program is on point.
You will NOT be disappointed. Great food, great staff, great decor!
Great spot. All dishes were perfectly seasoned and balanced.

Amazing. Incredible staff
My husband took me on a date to a fancy Italian restaurant. The food was exquisite. The beet salad, the califlower salad is definitely to try for. Especially when you have a great appetite and if you are on a healthy diet. The next was the pasta. The pasta i had was great. Seasoned well. All made from scratch. You can see the chefs preparing it. Amazing to see hard work and even better when you taste it. We even had the pork chop. It was delicious. Just melted in your mouth. Afterwards, we ordered the desert. The honeycomb was nice and sweet and the Ice-cream just melted in your mouth. The apricot cake was good too. The service was wonderful. The waiters really took care of you and gave you exactly what you need. Friendly and kind. You can see they love working here and greeting everyone they meet. The chef and the sou chefs are wonderful too. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely comeback here.
Wow! We celebrated our anniversary here, this past week and we were treated like royalty!! Truly service with a smile - thanks Didi and Sean!! 👍
In honor of our anniversary, we were served sparkling wine to clink on. Additional drinks - beer and cocktails followed with the food.
Speaking of the food YUM!!
3 Appetizers of olives, cauliflower, and arancini were so good!! We finished every last bite . Than the mains - Black Bass and Pasta Fazulli . To quote my husband “Amazing”. Dessert - Olive oil cake with marmalade topping (like moms!!)
We’ll be there again for sure.
If you haven’t gone, make it your next night out!!
Fantastic experience at Fausto. Food was excellent as well as the wine suggestion from sommelier. We had the arancini which is def worth trying if you love arancini. The orecchiette was delightful and the pork was perfect. For dessert the olive oil cake did NOT disappoint although we scrapped off the marmalade because we weren't a fan.
We had an absolutely excellent meal at Fausto from start to finish. The little gem (wow!) and arancini starters were both absolutely excellent, with the focaccia only a slight notch below those two. All of the pastas were great with the Campanelle as the best we ordered. And the panna cotta dessert was very good. Excellent service, good atmosphere, and we would definitely return.
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!!
I really liked their food and restaurant atmosphere. The staff was nice and helped me selecting the dishes. They were not these kind of waiters that push you to pick more dishes.
The food has a really nice presentation but more importantly it was very tasty. I highly recommend the ragú pasta.
The restaurant design is really nice and has amazing vibes. It’s a cool place for only coming for a glass of wine or have a full dinner.
I’ll come back !
Gem salad is perfect for sharing and makes you wish every salad tasted like this.
Totally different pastas between the mushroom and vodka, but we preferred the vodka sauce. Both delicious.
The pork chop might have been the star and favorite dish, but I think there could be more polenta.
The olive oil cake was dense, moist, and delicious, but we had to remove the marmalade and didn’t touch it. I’m not sure if it was designed this way but way to bitter.
This place was so good, I forgot to take a photo of my meal and the ambiance. I literally inhaled my black bass meal 😩 The customer service was also amazing! My husband and I will revisit again soon. I’ll try to get a picture the next time around for y’all 😅 I took this photo from their Instagram page. Follow them on insta for meal ideas.
The food is not bad and the waiters were really attentive. But our entire meal was less than 1hr so I’m not sure if I was hurried or serves really well. The food was good and tasty but overall it was a 4 not a 5.
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.
Fausto is very elegant and has a clean, swedish-minimalist sort of decor mixed with quintessential NY-dining chic restaurants. Service was good, if a little rushed. The focaccia was simply great, and the orecchiete pasta also a highlight. Unfortunately their gelato was very regular, bordering on store bought. The sorbet specifically had frozen solid parts, and did not taste very natural. Overall, a nice experience, and would come back to try more things.
The pasta at @faustobrooklyn are all house-made, and they’re bomb! I especially loved the mushroom and egg yolk pasta. That whole wheat really hits differently! I think the appetizers and entrees are not as impressive, so I would suggest to really focus more on the pasta for your first visit here!
Delicious pasta, excellent service and stylish interiors 🤩
We came for my wife’s birthday and had two starters to share (Housemade Focaccia and fried Arancini balls), one plate of pasta each, and the olive cake with apricot as a dessert. The starters were good, but the pasta won us over and blew our minds! Fausto offers an extensive selection of wines, and the cocktails are delicious as well. Also, the service was very attentive, and overall we had a great time and will return.
PS: Having a candle on our cake was a sweet touch.
Fausto’s interior design was magnificent. From the dining chairs to the lighting fixtures, it was simply gorgeous. Our waiter was awesome providing us with recommendations through out our dining experience. He recommend starting with the Burrata and House-made Faocaccia. Both were absolutely delicious. 5 out of 5 for the appetizers. I had Fausto’s Campanelle as my entree (another recommendation from our waiter). The noodles in the Campanelle were absolutely perfect, tender and melted in my mouth honestly. However, the dish itself seemed too salty for my palate. I would like to come back again and try a different entree. The people I dined with both enjoyed theirs. We had Faun’s Olive Oil Cake as our a dessert. The Olive Oil Cake was mouth watering and scrumptious with every single bite. You must try it! Thank you Faun for your great service!
Very good casual dining Italian restaurant with good service, terrific fresh made pastas, and an excellent wine list. The food and ambience sets the pace for a quality restaurant. The appetizers, especially the arancini, are all good as well. They have a private dining room available in the lower level for large groups and wine tastings.
Excellent homemade pasta and focaccia! I loved the bite and texture of the whole wheat chitarra. The little gem salad is super fresh and helps cut through the richness of the carb dishes. Dishes are well portioned and there is an extensive drink menu in addition to the wine. Recommend booking a reservation in advance.
Really loved Gemelli dish though I never liked pea pasta. Flavorful and not to heavy!
Focaccia is worth a try. Little gem salad was really fresh!
Service was a top notch. Can’t wait to try other dishes next time!
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!
Great selection of pastas which were all very flavourful and excellent. The lamb ragu pasta, the shrimp pasta and the cauliflower starter were my favourites. The desserts were also very good especially the mozzarella ice cream. The service was also good.
