Review of Faccia a Faccia

UPDATE: I have been here four times since the restaurant opened. I have never gotten sick after, so that’s always a win. But I have repeatedly found myself disappointed with the price point and the hit-or-miss quality of some of the dishes. The fried artichokes are always outstanding, but the pasta has been (at times) almost inedibly salty, and the drinks are mediocre. For the price point (which should read $$$$ in FMGF), I’m not sure I think it’s worth it.

I ordered the shrimp and crab pasta and it was incredible. A fun, GF pasta shape and amazing taste and texture. The server ensured me that the pasta was made in house and in a separate kitchen. They verbally indicated what dishes were GF and not when brought to our table. I am not sick several hours later, and so excited to go back. My only complaint is that it’s expensive, but I knew that going in.
