I saw the star ratings for this place compared to other nearby restaurants and that persuaded me to come here. Did not disappoint! I had a light-ish (volume) yet decadent (finesse) meal of the meatball casserole appetizer followed by tiramisu and espresso martini. Smallish but heavyish. And top end across the board. Can't say I'm an espresso martini aficionado, but this one was the best I've had. Ever. My first trip to Baltimore. I'd come back to town just to eat again at Facci. No joke. Buongiorno. read more

Came here once for a business meeting and I was so impressed! The lighting and decor were lovely and they had nice r&b music playing in the background. I could definitely see myself returning for a date night! I had the Seafood Marbella which I still dream about. It tasted homemade and they didn't skimp on the seafood. The service was also great. I would definitely return. Ordered the ravioli dish in the photo through Grubhub. It was yummy! read more

Facci Ristorante - Ravioli Con Bacon Alla Pavarotti - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My first time at this Facci location. We went for Happy Hour before a show. We ordered the bada bing - chocolate martini and sliders and shrimp and bacon. The sliders were delicious that we ordered another. The shrimp and bacon was salty probably from the brown sauce that they put on top. I could do without the sauce. I couldn't even eat my one shrimp. The bartenders were great and we had a good experience. I like the modern design of the restaurant. read more

I used to go to the Marriottsville location all time for their Happy Hour specials before I moved to Frederick. We were in Baltimore for Sail25o and got carry out pizza. I can't remember the name But it was the Margarita with sausage, onions and peppers. Very good! read more

food was great, they had gluten-free pasta and they had a gluten-free pizza... They had a great wine selection. The only reason I didn't get five stars is because I asked the server if him or the bartender could recommend a wine to be paired with my Pizza. He literally told me it would be better if I just chose it myself. it may just be this area but the service although it was prompt they just weren't very friendly. read more

Beautiful restaurant, exceptional service from our waiter. Unfortunately I did not like the food. The Alfredo sauce was very bland. I rarely, if ever use salt and pepper on my food. That didn't help the flavor at all. The broccolini was tender but also bland. The calamari wasn't bad but the overall food experience wasn't that great. read more

Facci was delicious. I had the Seafood Marebella which had a little kick to it. So if you are not a spicy person it's not overly spicy but enough to give you pause. The ambience was beautiful definitely date night vibes, lunch meeting or meet friends for drinks. The service was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. I will definitely come again. $$ read more

We were staying at a hotel near the inner harbor for the weekend and my husband booked a reservation at this restaurant for dinner. It was a great experience. The ambiance is very nice with dim lighting and candles on every table. Our server, Sonya, quickly came over to take our drink orders. The menu is pretty big, with plenty of appetizers, salads, pastas, and entrees. I decided to go with the seafood marebella. It was fettuccine pasta with shrimp, scallops, and crab in a parmesan cheese sauce. It was a nice size portion and tasted great. My husband had the shrimp scampi pasta dish and loved his meal as well. Service was friendly and professional. We got the cannoli trioi to go for dessert. read more

So I was on lunch break at work & decided to pull over for their wood fire oven pizza. But upon walking over there I realize the chicken panini looks much more appealing than the pizza. So of course I had to try it out. I didn't have time to sit in so I got it to go. The restaurant is lovely with a nice little view of the harbor. So now to the best part the sandwich was delicious it's no other way to describe it. This is a pretty limited review but that's cause I've gotta come back to get the full experience. But overall my take is this is a good food spot especially given how good this panini was read more

We came here for a Galentines dinner and had a great time! Our waitress was lovely and had our food and drinks out quickly. They did have a sign at the front saying that we would only have 90 min for a reservation due to it being Valentine's Day which was completely understandable. We each ordered from the homemade pasta menu and everything was delicious. There were more things on the menu that I would love to try so I'll definitely be back read more

For pasta free check out the bistecca fiorentina: 16 oz ribeye wood-fire grilled. They did mine perfectly med rare. Comes we a chimichurri, which isn't very Italian but tastes great anyway. Tuscan potatoes and petite arugula as sides. Nothing special there. On the pasta side the lasagna is amazing. Three blends of cheese plus a next level meat sauce. Perfectly baked and with melted mozzarella. Decent wine list. Good desserts. Solid service. Reasonable prices. read more

If it had been a beautiful night, we likely would have walked over from the Inner Harbor to Little Italy... Since it was a cool evening, we made a reservation at Facci and headed to a beautiful restaurant right across the street from the welcome center at the Inner Harbor. Upon arrival, we found a beautiful restaurant, open and bright with high ceilings and modern decor. We were quickly seated and were approached by our server, Sonya - she had a wonderful energy, a bright smile and made excellent dinner recommendations. I had the shrimp scampi pasta dish which was some of the best scampi I've had. The dining room was practically full, but the high ceilings and thoughtful table spacing made conversation easy to be heard. For dessert, the mini cannoli trio was more than enough for two people to share. Pricing was reasonable at about $55 per person. Great food, wonderful service and a beautiful atmosphere, close to the Inner Harbor - I highly recommend Facci. read more

Arrive around 5:20 PM in summer, the venue was quite warm (despite I was wearing a thin, breezy, open back dress) . They probably turn down the AC for a while? The temperature was fine around 6:50 PM. Table bread was steaming hot and fresh. Food was delicious. Drinks were great. Our Waitress was nice (I was soaked due to the thunderstorm and I asked for more table cloth. Initially she forgot but eventually I got it). She was friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. It was busy and our table has needs... yet she was not impatient/overwhelmed. Good job She was also transparent about additional price when our table request for more bread and different sauce. They have a station thingy making fresh pasta in front of you, it's fun to see that. Will definitely come again. read more

Right after going to the Baltimore Christmas Village we wanted to grab some dinner (only had a pretzel at the Christmas Village so def was still a little peckish for dinner) Right across the street was Facci. Italian food sounded good. We walked in on a Wednesday night and were seated promptly. It's definitely meant to be an intimate setting as it is very dark and dimly lit inside (still nothing a phone in night mode couldn't tackle). Our server was Jennifer and she was awesome- friendly and engaging. I asked her if the bolognese was pork and beef (a disappointment for me often at most places as I cannot eat pork) but to my delight she said it was 100% beef, as were the meatballs and the lasagna. I immediately switched to getting that instead of the vongole I was otherwise going to get. The bolognese was very good- slightly sweet and not acidic. My bf ended up getting the gnocchi caprese- which while he said it was tasty... it was so liquidy and saucy it ate more like a stew than a pasta dish. Still we both enjoyed our meals and I had enough for a lunch leftover today. We also opted to share a tableside tiramisu for dessert and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. End of the night our bill was about 48 pp with tax/tip for 2 entrees, dessert and I had a mocktail while my bf had a soda. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for good food at great value in the downtown inner harbor area. read more

The food here is 10/10 - seasoned perfectly. If you love a good staple meal with generous portions, this place is definitely for you. I substituted the medley for broccolini and highly recommend doing the same - it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The waitress was super nice even with our large party of 20+. We came here for my sister's graduation lunch, and it couldn't have been a better choice. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and clean, creating a great atmosphere for a special occasion or just a nice meal out. The only heads-up I'd give is that, because it's downtown, parking is limited. But there's a garage just a block over on the corner, so it's manageable. Definitely will be back! read more

The restaurant is beautiful. The staff is super friendly. We were not impressed with the food. We had the pear and Gorgonzola pillow pockets and the seafood ravioli. Unfortunately for the pillow pockets, you could not taste any pear. It was very Gorgonzola forward. As far as the seafood ravioli, the dominating flavor was asparagus. The food was okay but we were disappointed. Maybe it was just an off night. read more

I went with a party of 4 and a baby on a Sunday afternoon. They have us a both which was perfect. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all. We ordered the seafood marebella, pollo Marsala, and the wild mushrooms pizza. The seafood marebella pasta was good, just missing some seasoning. I would have preferred some garlic salt. The wild mushrooms pizza was also good but it also was missing something. I ended up taking it home and adding a truffle Parmesan seasoning to it, which made it perfect. The Marsala was good and my friend enjoyed the broccolini and pearl onions. I also enjoyed that they gave us bread with oil and balsamic vinaigrette before the food came. The server was sweet and recommended her favorites. I would go back, but just know you'll have to add seasoning. read more

This is in a good location and is a beautiful place. It has a cool bar area with sports on, but it is separate from the rest of the restaurant, so it feels like two different places. We weren't thrilled with the wait at the host stand while he was dealing with a customer on the phone and didn't even acknowledge us standing there for several minutes. Someone else came to seat us. The first thing you'll notice when walking in is that it is super dark in there. Like, ridiculously so. Several people had to use their iPhone flashlight to read the menu. About the menu--the print is maybe size 9, so it's already difficult to see, and there are way too many choices. No restaurant can do that many dishes as well as they should be done. The prices were fair, though. We ordered a wood-fired pizza and the Mediterranea salad. That salad was amazing--and huge!!! The pizza was undercooked and super soggy. Our friend ordered the lobster ravioli and said it was delicious. It was presented nicely. They have a great wine selection without being exorbitantly priced. They won't split checks, which is ridiculous. It is so easy to do. With Baltimore being a common location for conferences, where people dine together, they need to figure that out. read more

Delicious Italian food and great cocktails! We visited Facci Ristorante early on a Saturday evening, and it was about a quarter full. The restaurant has a modern style with high ceilings, two televisions at the bar, and comfortable chairs. I tried the facci sofisticata to drink, the octopus as a starter, and the ravioli d'aragosta as my main. The drink had an exquisite blend of flavors. The octopus was artfully presented, tender, and paired with interesting sauces. The ravioli was served al dente with a splendid filling. The sauce was not very rich but it was good enough. Overall, I had a lovely time at Facci Ristorante and would highly recommend them for Italian food in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. read more

Food was good and not at the same time. My sister had the lobster ravioli, but the crab topper was cold. I had the gnocchi caprese which was incredible but not true gnocchi nor was it proper caprese. Only a sprig of basil on a soup of tomato sauce. Mashed potatoes on my father's perfectly cooked steak tasted like instant potatoes. Mom had no complaints with the spicy shrimp dish. The most egrious part (i'm being dramatic, lol) was that after our entrees arrived, we weren't seen by our waiter once. We all ran out of water and had to flag him down 10 minutes after we ran out of water. Someone else brought us our check. I only hope it was just a bad night for him Lighting was kind of poor and the water they serve first is citrus water, so my fellow water purists be ware. Very pricy, and honestly? A bit stuck up for it. But decent food, just a bit high up there. read more

Wow! This is such a hidden gem! It's right in the cut and across the street from the Inner Harbor. Decided to go for date night last night and glad that I did. It was very quaint not a big location at all. The lights were dimmed and I love how they had candles on the tables and real candles not the fake ones lol. Our host was extremely nice and patient though at times we had trouble hearing him because he did have a soft voice. I enjoyed that there were TVs but only at the bar area, but they were still visible from our table. Now let's get into the food. The food was absolutely amazing. The pastas were really rich and bursting with flavor. Each of us ordered a pasta dish that had seafood in it and the seafood was extremely fresh And real not imitation crab. I definitely will go again. They have a lot to offer on their menu and I really enjoyed myself. We also found out on Tuesdays. There are half price bottles of wine, which I definitely would want to take advantage of moving forward. The only reason I gave them four stars instead of five is because of the Caesar salad. It was way too much pepper. So much that we couldn't even finish it. And then decided to just have it sent back and remade with no pepper. But when the Caesar salad came back, it was still a large amount of pepper. read more

Amazing food. Amazing service. Wonderful vibe. Just an all-round great place for an intimate dinner, which is why we went. We started with calamari then split one of their seafood pastas. They charge a $4 up charge if you split a dish, but we weren't hungry enough for 2 entrees so that was fine with us. The seafood pasta was DIVINE. That red sauce with the Calabrian chilies?? Amazing. Would come for that again. The seafood was cooked perfectly: shrimp, mussels, claims, squid, and scallops. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and our waitress was super knowledgeable on their wines, suggesting an excellent pairing for our meal. 10/10!! read more

The location is great - Right on the Inner Harbor. The ambience is cool - trying to be trendy but doesn't really work. We were there on a sunny Sunday & it really wasn't that busy. Brunch menu looked interesting but I got a salad instead. Hubby got the French toast. My biggest serving pet peeve occurred- my husband's order arrived several minutes before mine so he ate while I watched. I hate when the kitchen screws that up. The food: Average. My strawberry, pear chicken arugula salad probably had 1 sliced strawberry & a tiny bit of pear. Salad was overdressed.... But the chicken was cooked well & was very tasty. The French toast looked nice - too much whipped cream. Maybe their pizza is the way to go. read more

I have not been to a Facci's restaurant in a long time. I was happy to hear that there was a new location at the harbor. This location, right on Light St., across from the Harbor, is eye-catching. Definitely a refreshed look compared to other locations. Great vibes walking in. The bartenders and staff were great. The food presentation was fantastic. I tried the house sangria. It was a bit on the sour side. The espresso martini was a nice treat. Great taste. I ordered the bacon wrap shrimp. Looked great but the shrimp was under cooked. The Louisiana Penne pasta looked great as well. No salt and pepper in dish. I asked for more season and recieved a small cup with probably 3-4 pinches of seasoning. I was able to season the food better. I will definitely visit here again but I will try some different dishes. read more

I had dinner at Facci with a friend last weekend, when we were in the neighborhood for a play. What was nice about it: The service was great; our waitress was really helpful, lovely, friendly. The restaurant itself is beautiful - high ceilings, well decorated. Comfortable and elegant (but still casual enough that you definitely don't have to dress up). The location isn't an area I frequent often, but it's nice to have a more upscale option in the area for if you're heading to a show or event. Their wine list was great - lots of wonderful Italian options to enjoy with your dinner. What wasn't as good: The food. The menu is huge (way too many options in my opinion; on a menu this big, I don't think the kitchen can make everything consistently delicious) - I think there are 50 items on the menu, including 20 pastas. We shared four items between the two of us. We started with the calamari, which was quite good. We shared two pastas: the linguine alle vongole (a classic dish - little neck clams, cherry tomatoes, garlic white wine sauce) and the ravioli d'aragosta (ravioli stuffed with lobster with chives, creamy saffron sauce, crab, and asparagus). The linguini was pretty good. It's a classic dish and a pretty decent version of it. However, I really didn't enjoy the ravioli. The pasta was too thick, so the edges of the ravioli were too thick and chewy. I also thought the filling was stiff and stodgy - a bad texture and not very flavorful either. To me, the ravioli was a miss. For dessert, we shared the chocolate souffle (moist chocolate lava cake with a side of vanilla gelato). It wasn't bad, so my issue with the dish was really a labeling issue - lava cake is not souffle. But the lava cake was good. Overall, the food was inconsistent. Some of the dishes were good, but that one ravioli dish was really a miss for me. Overall, our meal was okay, but I'd return and try different items from the menu if I'm in the area for dinner again. read more
