Review of Faccia a Faccia

The vibe and ambiance are on point. The burrata and mozzarella sticks are delicious. My husband said his vegetarian pasta (not GF) was okay, but my cacio e pepe was SO salty. The portions are very small, so by the time I considered sending it back to the kitchen, I had already eaten a good percentage of the dish and didn’t feel like I could ask for it to be remade. My husband ate the second half of my dish and agreed there was no way he’d be able to eat all of it because of the salt. The dessert was also good, but if I’m being honest, my palate had already been ruined by the salty pasta. I appreciate the safety of having a separate kitchen to allow for house made pasta. The dishes were plated beautifully. However the salt really ruined it for me, and the bill ended up being $160 (two apps, two pastas, one dessert, no drinks). Really pricey for tiny portions and inconsistent taste. And only a handful of choices if you’re also vegetarian.
