Fachini - Dallas

We had dinner here for four on a Monday so not busy. Pros: it's in highland park village. Cons: the rest. I appreciate the attempt at Italian food but it's not Italian at all And sadly disappointing. Just salty food like a carbone wanna be but no atmosphere at all and lower quality food. Service was a meh. They did their job. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

Very expensive for mediocre food. The meatballs were salty and not warm. The chicken was good. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Tonight we chose a restaurant that truly surprised us! We were expecting a good Italian restaurant.possibly run of the millbut decent. Well, not at Fachini! This was authentic Italian fare just like we’ve had in Italy! From the scrumptious meatballs to the ‘100 Layer’ Lasagna, we were delectably pleased at every turn. First of all, they bring out toasted bread with ricotta and a bowl of marinated cauliflower and carrots. I only got one bite because my husband ate it all quickly.but they brought more! The wait staff was very attentive. CT was our server and he was professional yet very personable and fun to talk to. We were NOT planning on ordering dessert but boy, were we glad we ordered the crème brûlée! Mouth watering. You cannot go wrong at this modern yet somehow classical restaurant. I’d also like to mention Jennifer, the lady taking reservations. We had some difficulty with traffic and she was VERY gracious and understanding of our plight. In fact we called on our way to cancel due to running late and she offered a table at the bar until we could get a seat in the main dining room. We ended up getting there in time but she ‘saved the day’ for us.

The authentic Italian cuisine here is fantastic! I was disappointed that they were out of tiramisu, though.
