" I had such a pleasant dining experience at Faccia a Faccia! The food was fresh and flavorful; I particularly liked the risotto! The helping sizes were alright, but I could see them being a bit more generous. The ambiance was trendy and welcoming, though I did feel it was a tad bit noisy. The service was great, and I appreciated how they catered to gluten-free options, ensuring a lovely dinner for all. I'd happily come back to enjoy the menu again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my experience at Faccia a Faccia! The food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The octopus was out of this world, tender and flavorful. Service was remarkable; the staff were kind and attentive without being overpowering! I found the atmosphere to have a great dining vibe, very lively but not overwhelming. However, I felt that prices were a bit high. That said, for the memorable experience, I wouldn't hesitate to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently visited Faccia a Faccia and were impressed with the warm ambiance. The decor strikes a nice balance between modern and rustic. However, the food was what truly stole the show. The caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and the risotto was creamy and well seasoned. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure everything was perfect. However, the prices seemed a bit steep, especially since portions were on the smaller side for the pasta dishes. Overall, a great place for a special occasion, but I would suggest sharing plates to get your money's worth! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience at Faccia a Faccia! My partner and I went for dinner and ordered several small plates to share. Every bite was bursting with flavor. The standouts were the squid ink spaghetti and the lamb ribs; we couldn’t pick a favorite! The ambiance was energetic yet intimate, perfect for a date night. The waiter was also very knowledgeable about the menu and helped with our drinks choice. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend it if you're looking for authentic Italian food! " (*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*)
