" Had high expectations and was somewhat satisfied. The ambiance was beautiful and lively! The food was pretty decent, but some dishes, like hamachi crudo, didn't quite measure up to their price. Service was commendable though, as the waitstaff were attentive. The pasta, however, saved the day and was quite delightful! I may give it another chance in the future, especially to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Faccia a Faccia stands out among the myriad of dining options with its deliciously authentic Italian dishes. The flavors captured the comfort of Italian family meals exceptionally well! Although the price was a bit high for the portion sizes, the food quality made up for it. My only complaint was that the tables were a bit close together, making the environment feel crowded at times. Overall, I would definitely return for the authentic food and good service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Faccia a Faccia easily exceeded my expectations. As a fan of Italian cuisine, I was thrilled to find such authentic flavors in the heart of Boston. The gnocchi was light and fluffy, while the Bolognese sauce was rich with depth. Our waiter was kind and attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty. The setup of the restaurant is quite busy, which is typical for a popular spot, but they manage to maintain a pleasant vibe. Be prepared for a pricier meal, but rest assured that you’ll leave satisfied. I’d certainly come back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I enjoyed a delightful meal at Faccia a Faccia! The service was commendable, as we had a very attentive waiter. I was particularly impressed with how accommodating they were for my gluten-free relatives. The dishes were delicious, with particular mention to their Bolognese and octopus appetizers. However, I felt that the portions could have been a little larger for the price. The ambiance was busy but vibrant, making it a perfect family outing spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" A dinner at Faccia a Faccia felt like an adventure! We shared many dishes, and each came out with its own charm and personality. The lamb ribs were succulent, while the tortellini had ample depth in flavor. Our waiter was cheerful and attentive, guiding us to find excellent pairings. The price was a bit elevated, but for such quality, it felt just right. Will definitely return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Faccia a Faccia was fantastic! The pasta was delightful and al dente, especially the bucatini with nduja that was well-balanced in flavor. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere made you feel sophisticated while still being casual. I felt the portion sizes were appropriate for what we ordered. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality. We left fully satisfied and eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely time at Faccia a Faccia last week. The dishes we tried were very well crafted, especially the paccheri with guanciale; it was delicious and flavorful. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the restaurant was bustling with energy. The service was quick and friendly as well. However, I will say that prices seem a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes, but overall, my experience was quite enjoyable and I'd be happy to return. " (*Curated Review*)
