What a delicious spot! It is always fun to see new places arrive in HPV, and getting to celebrate a dear friend for her birthday here - it was the best place. The service was INCREDIBLE! I wish I remembered our servers name, he was amazingly attentive and suggested wonderful drinks off menu that fit our taste. We all ordered different meals, and there was not a bad one in the bunch. The portions are perfect size if you want to split with a partner or friend but I shamelessly ate all of mine. The atmosphere was not too loud, we sat by the door so that probably helped with the noise level. We will 100% be back for another night out with friends or a date night. read more

As soon as I walked into Fachini, I was obsessed with the vibes of this place. It was perfect spot for a fun night out. They started us off with complimentary bread and whipped ricotta which was amazing! For an appetizer, we tried the lobster ravioli which is absolutely a must-order. The flavors were incredible and definitely one of the highlights. For our mains, the linguine vongole was a bit on the bland side, and the fettuccine al ragu bolognese could have used more sauce, the meat was a little dry. The special of the night, stuffed tortellini with mashed meatballs, was easily the star of the table. The Chicken Al Limone had a delicious crust and great flavor as well. Even with a couple of dishes that missed the mark for me, the overall food and service were great. I'd love to come back to try more of the menu, definitely looking forward to my next visit! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for years and it did not disappoint! The ambiance the service and the food were all top teir! It was the week before Christmas so parking was sparse, however valet made it super easy. I got a special which was abosolutley delicious. Complementary bread was brought to the table (multiple times upon request) it was warm soft and melts in your mouth. The accompanying whipped ricotta was equally delicious. I cannot wait to return! read more

Had lunch today at Fachini. It's a small restaurant accessed on the street beside Ralph Lauren and up a flight of stairs. I would agree overall with most of the posted reviews. It's a nice quaint space. Overall service was great. I had the 50 layer lunch lasagna and my wife had the snapper. Both were good. It was a nice lunch, I'd come back again and try some other dishes. read more

A truly beautiful experience at Fachini! It's the perfect spot for a date night--each section of the restaurant feels cozy and intimate. While the tables are close together, the overall noise level remains low, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Service was top-notch, and the food was wonderful, with generous portions that were easy to share. The cocktails were delicious--highly recommend giving them a try. Be sure to make a reservation, very organized and we're seated immediately once checked in. An excellent dining spot all around, and I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is worth the hype. All of our food was delicious & even the bread service was better than most. Great service too, we got to sit outside on the balcony & it was magical with the lights of HPV. read more

Had birthday dinner for 5 Sat nite at 530pm. First time. Had a nice booth in corner by door to outside patio. Bad place as door opened a hundred times blowing strong wind in on us. It was very very loud ,so loud we could hardly have a conversation at our booth. Place was full and everyone was talking Food was good not great and not worth the price. Service also good. Like Nonna better. Food much better in sister restaurant. Decor was all black and dark. Nice. Do not think will return but was nice to try once. read more

Fachini is an Italian restaurant located in Highland Park Village in Dallas. Atmosphere: A long walk up a red carpeted set of stairs (or there is an elevator) sets the stage for a fine dining experience. White table clothes and waiters in suits is the norm. 1 Star Service: One of my favorite things is the fact that the service is not only polite, but it is not pretentious like you would get in some other "ritzy" restaurants. The waiters are also attentive without being overbearing. They give you time to look at the menu and decide and only come to the table when they see you need something. They seem to read the table very well. 2 Stars Food: Fantastic Italian fair with bright sauces and some classic appetizers. We started with the Calamari which was delightfully crisp and hot out of the fryer. Nice accompanying condiments of a chunky marinara and tartar sauce. For entrees we each decided to get a different pasta and share. The portions are gratuitous and make for easy leftovers or just for snagging a bite from your table mates when they aren't paying attention. We ordered the Cappelletti Bolognese, the Lobster Ravioli, and the Rigatoni alla Vodka. As stated before, the sauces for each were delectable. The surprise for me was the classic tomato based sauce for the Lobster Ravioli. Almost always, Lobster Ravioli comes with a cream based sauce from my experience, and this was a wonderful revelation that I am all for. The Vodka sauce wasn't overly strong and had just that right amount of "oomph" to it. It was paired with a perfect pasta to help capture it. And finally the Capelletti, stuffed with savory meat and covered with a deep red bolognese sauce, was also delicious. 2 Stars Overall: What a great lunch, and it's easy to see why this is a goto spot for fine Italian food. It's inconceivable to me how you could continue shopping in The Village after filling up with this aptly portioned "abbondanza" of pasta, because for me it was a great lead into an afternoon nap! 5 Stars. read more

Fachini - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great Experience. My girlfriend and I wanted to try something new. This was highly recommended on TikTok. We were warmly greeted, we didn't have a reservation, showed up 45 minutes before close and we still got a seat within 30 seconds. Complimentary focaccia and pickled vegetables were good. I ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka with Meatballs and my girlfriend ordered the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe Carciofi. Both great meals. Brian helped us pick out wines to pair well with our meals as well. 10/10. Would recommend. read more

This place has been on my Dallas to do list for a while. The atmosphere is upbeat and fun. The service is nice. Food isn't bad, but I wouldn't come here for the food. It's a place to have fun. Ambiance: Nice looking dining room. It is a bit loud, but it is still easy to have a conversation at the table. A fair number of people were dressed up on the Saturday evening we visited. The flimsy paper menus seemed out of place. Food: Everything was tasty and simple. We started with the carpaccio, then 100 layer lasagna and veal parmigiana, and finally tiramisu. Portions are sizable and hearty. We were fans of the tiramisu. read more

We took my mom here for a late lunch on a Saturday. We made reservations a week before. The ambiance was really neat, very swanky decor. Great drink menu and the service was outstanding. Between the three of us we ordered the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe Carciofi, Fritti di Calamari, Lasagna and shared a Chopped salad. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful time. We will be back again! read more

Everyone was attentive and the ambiance was unmatched. Went with my friend where I started with the This Drink is A-N-A-N-A-S which was honestly such a good drink. We shared the calamari as well as some meatballs, both of which were very good. My friend got the bolognese that I also had a bite of and the fact that the bolognese was in the pasta was just amazing. I had the rigatoni alla vodka that came out so hot and had the perfect flavor. I finished with the Fico Suave drink and it ended up being really refreshing. I definitely think I will be back!! read more

Nice ambiance and interior. Ricotta and focaccia was great. Drinks were good. Service was great. Lemon chicken was not good, I wouldn't get it again. Chicken was kind of tough and the sauce didn't taste lemony at all and wasn't good, potatoes were the best part of the dish. read more

Service was top notch and the ambience was great. We ordered one serving of the 100 layer lasagna to share and they were nice enough to split the portion into 2 halves for us. It was delicious and the wagyu carpaccio was great too! read more

Fachini is a very classic American-Italian restaurant, kind of has a country club feel but very nice inside. The service / staff were great, our waiter was actually really funny. The food was super good, from the beef carpaccio to the veal parm. The cocktails were also good. I give a 4/5 because it is DEFINITELY a good restaurant, but at their prices, it better be. 250 dollars for dinner for two, including two apps two drinks and two entrees means I am expecting incredible food. So again it is really good, just maybe not matching with the price point. read more

Service is off the hook and the vibe is quaint and intimate. Food is good but not great sadly. Menu is quite limited and the portion to price ratio is surprisingly disappointing. Overall a neat weekend or holiday stop over but bring two credit cards. read more

I have heard lots of great reviews about this place. I ordered a Salad and Fettuccine bolognese. It was ok but it definitely needed some seasoning or salt. The complimentary bread was awesome. The bartender was preparing for the evening rush. Never asked if it was my first time. Sometime that welcome really seals the deal for me! I had a glass of wine, Salad and Pasta for $74. I give it a 5.5/10. Maybe i shld try it again bc the 100 layer lasagna looks awesome. read more

Best Pasta in Dallas. My wife and I literally crave going back to get pasta here again. It's pricey but understandable considering the quality. If you want a meal made with love and care, definitely eat here! read more

I never leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that it deserves one. I've worked in the service industry for years, my husband has managed steakhouses in Dfw, and have been to this restaurant before--this was, without exaggeration, one of the worst experiences I've had anywhere. Kristi is a poor excuse for a manager. I requested a booth in the main dining room in my reservation and was instead seated at a random table in the middle of the room without a word. When I went back to ask what happened, Kristi stood there with the host and casually told me I could "wait for a booth" and that they just sat me wherever was available. That's not hospitality--that's laziness. The bare minimum would have been to ask before seating us whether we wanted to wait, instead of ignoring the request entirely and hoping no one would say anything. I ultimately kept the table, but the rest of the night only went downhill. Our server was incredibly rude, condescending, and made the entire table uncomfortable. I've never complained after a meal in my life, but this was my birthday, and I felt genuinely embarrassed and guilty that my friends treated me and paid for such a terrible experience. When I explained all of this, Kristi's response was dismissive at best. No table touch. No attempt to salvage the situation. She actually asked what I would have done or liked her to do? Not my job to tell you to do the bare minimum with your job but I did tell her she should have done a table touch. When I mentioned the server's behavior, her response was essentially, "That's unfortunate, he helped open this place." That is completely irrelevant. Longevity doesn't excuse treating guests poorly. Maybe next time someone asks for Parmesan, he shouldn't make the entire table feel uncomfortable with his comments. I've worked in service over ten years and my husband has managed steak houses in DFW. I think knowing how to run things then stings more when you see things like this. Management sets the tone for a restaurant, and the tone here was apathetic, unprofessional, and uncaring. This place has gone downhill. read more

Nice ambiance, though acoustics in the main room are not great, and I could detect no music. You'd expect some Italian style crooner in a place like this. Food was fine, the calamari in particular was good, but my dining companions found the pasta a bit on the salty side. The cocktails were hit or miss - mine was just OK. Maybe they're more of a wine place, their wine list was extensive. I wanted to cross this restaurant off my list, did that, don't know that I'll necessarily return. As a note, if you're in stilettos for the evening, consider the elevator. That's one long set of stairs to attempt in very high heels. read more

Hosted my birthday here and it went perfectly! Favorite Italian restaurant in Dallas. The food and ambiance is amazing and the waiters are so nice and welcoming. I recommend the rigatoni a la vodka, calamari and cosmos. Great for parties and girls night out. read more

Finally made me way over to try Fachini in Highland Park Village and it did not disappoint. Here is what we ordered and how I would rate: - Cesare salad (7/10) - Calamari (8/10) - Bread & ricotta (8/10) - Rigatoni alla voda (9/10) - Lobster ravioli (9/10) - 100 layer lasagna alla Sunday (10/10) Overall, I loved the rich, Italian flavors each of these dishes had. The softness of the homemade noodles was also amazing. Pro tip: definitely make a reservation for Sunday so you can try the 100 layer lasagna. It's melt in your mouth and some of the best lasagna I've ever had. Our service was great and my only complaint was the restaurant was pretty dark - but that could be perfect for you if you're looking for a romantic vibe!! :) read more

Highly recommend making reservations as this is a smaller establishment. Came at 5:30 and had the place to ourselves for 30mins which was nice before it got loud and busy. The complimentary bread was the best part. The cacciatore was good but not something I'd eat again. It's fried angel hair pasta with quail and pancetta. The quail was good. The linguine vongole could've been better. The sauce and seasonings just were meh and bland. Not a place I would come back to. I think it's overhyped. read more

Loved this place! My husband and I had never been so decided to try it out. The bar table was such a pretty vibe with the windows and lit up trees for Christmas. My husband got a red wine that he liked and the bar tender was so nice to create me a mocktail (tasted like a Moscow mule - was yum and came in the copper cup which I always like a mocktail to be presented in a fun way!) we got the calamari which came with a butter sauce that was so good, lasagna, and veal parm! All delicious! Will come back for sure :) read more

Excited when we booked on July 9, 2024 for Dallas Restaurant week 2 for 8/17/24. Disappointed when Restaurant week menu was cancelled upon arrival. The menu was different and no longer a 3 course meal as we had planned. The lobster ravioli is a favorite elsewhere. Here it was small pieces and hard to taste the lobster, as well as too much sauce on top. Caesar salad was shared and not worth the price of $18 for the portion. Snapper New Orleans delicious. Carrot cake was the shared dessert and not disappointed. We are world travelers and felt the service was exceptional. Food not so much. read more

Went back. Again. We like the food. Wow. This place is a dumpster fire. The servers are robots in tuxedos who talk with zero enthusiasm and just robot talk and write your order and off they run. Weird. Management still is uncomfortable. The rude lady Christy is still there doing her I'm better than you and I'll show you attitude. It's mind blowing. Just show us our table that goes with our reservation, without all the pretense and attitude. Wow. Tacky is what she is. read more

Excellent lasagna. Overall good experience. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Will be back.

Great food! Started with complimentary bread and cheese which was delicious. We ordered the mussels as an appetizer and it was delicious, a little on the spicy side but full of flavor. For our main course we ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and 100 layer lasagna, both were wonderful! The desserts unfortunately weren't great, we will skip on those next time. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here during restaurant week. Loved the ambiance of the place and the staff was friendly. For apps, we had eggplant rollatini and calamari. The eggplant was delicious while the calamari was decent--however, nothing special about it. We did enjoy the additional apps that were complimentary to your meal similar to how Carbone does it. For entries, we had the 50-layered lasagna and the veal parm. The lasagna was definitely unique and tasty and I thought the veal parm was even better. The pasta that came with the veal parm was delicious as well. For dessert, although small, we enjoyed the tiramisu. I don't personally like carrot cake, but my wife said it was ok. The one thing I would not get is the espresso martini (they pour it out of a box for $18). Had I known that, I would not have gotten it. While the drink was fine, I'd much prefer having a bartend craft his own espresso martini, but that's just me. Additionally, either the ice or the water tasted funky. I would look into that. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here and we were stuffed. I am notoriously picky with Italian restaurants, but this was enjoyable. read more

We were lucky enough to walk in and grab a table. Most likely because it was around 4PM on a weekday. The main reason why we were here is that we were hungry and my wife had to do some shopping in the area. I was never in this area before so I pulled up the trusty Yelp app and Fachini was displayed as a 4 plus star restaurant, to add we were hungry for Italian cuisine. This restaurant is definitely high-end in a high-end part of town. I mean when you see Lamborghini's and Porsche's parked around every other car, there is some cash floating around. And it is Highland park for a reason. To start the host and our waiter Jack were very helpful and accommodating to us. Jack recommended some drinks, I ordered a Bullet bourbon Old Fashioned and my wife ordered a chablis. My daughter ordered the hard stuff of ice cold milk. While we pursued the menu we did get to try out the bread starter and boy was that amazing with the cheese spread and pickled veggies. For the app we ordered the mussels which also hit the spot for us. My daughter ordered the ever classic spaghetti and meatballs. Which I of course had a to try. The meatballs were huge and homemade with a nice flavor to them. The spaghetti was great and most importantly my daughter was happy with it. My wife ordered the Wagyu Tenderloin a la Pepe medium rare and it came out great. She really really enjoyed it and literally devoured all of it. As for myself I ordered the fantastic Veal Chop Marsala. Which all I can say was literally amazing and to me was the zenith of the meal and was to me better than the Wagyu tenderloin. If we were elsewhere I would have picked up the bone and gnawed on it to get all of the meat, but I had to restrain myself. We also ordered a side o the whipped mashed potatoes were also fantastic. For our dessert we ordered the Tiramisu which was very decadent and delicious. We did order vanilla ice cream for my daughter which I really liked but my daughter was not used to seeing little black vanilla bean specs in the ice cream so she passed. (more for my wife and I. ha ha.) Over all Jack was very attentive, the servers were fantastic and I'm really glad we came here. I will be back one day for a special event. This is not a Buca di Beppo, this is a real deal high end restaurant that is yes pricy, but you will really enjoy it. read more

Another wonderful meal at Fachini! If you have not tried this place, the ricotta they bring with the focaccia is almost worth the visit by itself. As usual, everything we ordered was great: calamari (extremely good), flounder, snapper, penna vodka...all great. The best dish was the veal chop. Service was very good, however the kitchen was slow with the mains (it was a busy Friday night). The dining room is always noisy when full. We think the food here is some of the best in DFW. read more
