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

Super cute second story spot in HP village. The dimly lit restaurant gave a very romantic atmosphere to dinner. Dinner started with an assortment of bread and cured meat for the table. This was probably my favorite food of the dinner and this was the complimentary start. Service was not what you would expect for the spot. Would still keep this spot on the list and try different menu options next time. 10/10 for the cocktails and the bartender was phenomenal with the drinks. read more

Exceptional experience! Really love this place although it's easy to miss. 50-layer lasagna, linguine, and Wagyu were favorites and we ate family-style. The design is sleek and inviting with white table cloths. We brought young children for lunch and the staff was easy and accommodating. Can't believe I've been to HPV a million times and never dined here before but definitely coming again and again. read more

Quick note: as of September 2021, they were only accepting reservations through phone. Fachini was wonderful. One of the best Italian experiences in the DFW area. The quality, ambience, and staff are perfect. The food- oof. We started with the lobster ravioli and Texas wagyu carpaccio. The Raviolo was perfect, and the sauce was to die for. Big enough to share, but I was trying to sneak in a few extra bites the whole time!! The wagyu carpaccio was also excellent. "Wagyu" and "melt in your mouth" are two things that are always paired together, and this was no exception. The wagyu immediately melts when you put it on your tongue, and the cheese follows to create a nice flavor profile. There was a bit too much arugula for me, but something nitpicky that doesn't take away from the dish. The rigatoni a la vodka was also incredible- the pasta is VERY al dente, which I've definitely never tried before. Before eating I thought "wow, there's not much sauce here" but after trying it I realized it was the perfect amount. The tiramisu- goodbye world!! Wonderful way to cap off the meal. It is moist, but not too moist. Best of all- the portion is big enough to share for two. The service- from start to finish, great. Our server was kind and diligent, and did a great job of explaining the dishes. They have an incredible wine list and incredible menu- make the most of it!! Ask the servers the best wine pairings to go with the dishes you picked and it'll make your meal so much better. read more

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Fachini. To start, the ambiance is beautifully classy with very intimate spacing. The service was also top-tier and very attentive, especially for recommendations on their menu selection and wine list. They only have Italian wines on their wine list, which I found unique. While it may be intimidating for those who are not well-versed in Italian wines, our waiter was able to understand the California wines and profiles we prefer and gave us some options, allowing us to try before we purchased a bottle. Before ordering our food, we were given cured meat, pickled vegetables, house-made bread, and ricotta. All of them were unique and delicious. For an appetizer, we ordered the lobster ravioli, which was truly delicious and cooked to perfection. Our main courses included their special 100-layer lasagna alla Sunday and Rigatoni alla Vodka, both of which were cooked to perfection and captured the authenticity of Italian cuisine. We also ordered a side of meatballs which were unique and delicious. Additionally, our waiter gave us the Parmesan whipped potatoes to try, and they turned out to be some of the best whipped potatoes I have ever had, with incredible flavor and a light and airy texture. To finish, we concluded our meal with peach cobbler that did not disappoint. The caramelization and softness of the peaches themselves were sublime. In conclusion, I highly recommend giving Fachini a try! read more

This hidden gem in the Highland Park Village. The location is upstairs with a door on street level. The lasagna is like nothing you have had before. Definitely worth the price. Excellent service. Must try this restaurant. read more

Food & service both incredible. Best Italian in Dallas. Rigatoni alla vodka is better than Carbone.

Italian done right. We had rezzy for 530 but nightmare traffic landed us there 630 and the hostess was gracious and seated us right away. We were started out with anti pasta of pickled vegetables, fresh bread, creamy burrata and prosciutto. Absolutely divine fresh pasta that's done al dente. The fettuccine with funghi just melted in my mouth. The place is a date night dream and the service was perfect. We will return. read more

I was so excited to finally get to try Fachini, but was unfortunately overall disappointed with the experience. The food was pretty bland. The eggplant rollatini was my favorite dish of the night. Yummy and flavorful. The Caesar salad was not very special. The veal Marsala was the biggest let down of the night. It was kind of dry and bland. Usually Marsala is so flavorful. Lastly, the lasagna wasn't bad, but wasn't a stand out. I think it needed more sauce. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the ambiance was amazing. I would definitely go back for drinks and maybe apps. read more

Excellent food, ambiance and Zavi is THE best server!!! Great martinis. Highly recommend!!

Food and ambience was great. My wife and I came here for our anniversary, but the restaurant didn't recognize that at all. We also found hair in our salad, and although they gave us a new salad, they did not give us any credit to our bill. Pretty unacceptable for a "high end" restaurant. read more

Visited Fachini on a Wednesday night for my husbands birthday. I made a reservation and accidentally booked the bar seating area vs the main dining - something to look out for if you'd like to be seated in the main dining area. To our surprise, the restaurant was completely full for a late dinner on a Wednesday night. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was classy and definitely upheld to the Highland Park Village vibe. For appetizer we ordered the eggplant rollatini and for dinner we got the vodka pasta and chicken to share. The eggplant rollatini was delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The chicken was also very tasty, though nothing special for the price and restaurant. The vodka pasta was decent, though I may just be a tough critic as this is my go-to at most Italian restaurants throughout Dallas. Our server was attentive and even grabbed the Salami from our table on his own knowing we didn't eat pork. For dessert, we got the chocolate lava cake. It was good, but nothing to remember and dream about. read more

We went to Fachini for the holidays and it was the perfect choice. The food was amazing and the ambiance even better. I highly recommend the Egyptian salad and the Bolognese! read more

Fachini - Dinner with friends - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Was visiting Dallas for the weekend and ordered a to go order. Was slightly disappointed they didn't offer a chicken parmesan dish so went with the chicken limone dish on their menu. Upon arrival we sat at the bar and waited for our order. I checked the bag and asked for to go silverware and they told me they didn't have any. I found this quite bizarre and annoying since I was out of town how was I supposed to eat the food. So my friend and I had no choice but to eat our to go food at the bar with their utensils. I had ordered the 100 layer lasagna and a Cesare salad. Both were top notch. I was impressed. The lasagna was cheesy warm goodness. I thoroughly enjoyed the tomato sauce and the ricotta cheese on top. The salad was excellent. Lettuce was fresh and the dressing was on point. My friend has ordered the chicken limone and I took a few bites. This was the best item of the 3. Chicken was tender, cooked perfectly and the sauce was full of citrusy flavors. If I come back this is what I'm getting hands down. Overall was a pleasant experience but they need to get to go silverware. That's a given at a restaurant. read more

mediocre all around. service was unmemorable, restaurant was beautiful but had a strange ambiance. very quiet, except for tacky italian music playing. Pasta was cold. Way too pricey for what it was... would rather comfortable neighborhood italian. It was my birthday, they knew this, and they didn't pull out any stops. very unimpressive read more

I would give it 3.5 stars not only 3 mainly on service and lack of attention We went to Fachini for my husband's birthday, which I had previously told them when I made the reservation"twice". My disappointment was when we saw two deserts come out from the restaurant with a candle, she asked us if we were celebrating "yes" and we basically got a piece of chocolate molten cake tossed at us without a candle. I would've brought my own but I was particularly busy that afternoon with no time to spare, hence why I made sure to tell them we were celebrating previous to the reservation. My Flounder Picatta was a little too much butter and not enough picatta. The chopped salad and Rigatoni were excellent and very nice portions. It wasn't our first time and probably won't be our last but I will rethink my order and try not to make a celebration out of dinner there :-( read more

This place is amazing. Truly one of my favorite Italian places I've had. That does not negate the poor service that was given today. The hostess hung up on me, and then when I called back she gaslit me to think I hung up, after I sat there for about 7 min. Then I called back and she threatened to hang up on me when I read my card too quickly for her. The management did absolutely nothing and kind of made me feel worse? Unfortunate because I love this establishment. I hope they can provide better customer service because I would love to come back. read more

I wanted to impress my aunt who traveled from Chicago to visit me in Texas. I knew we'd check out the best of Texas BBQ, but wanted her to enjoy the full Dallas experience. Fachini was high on my list of places to try. I'd read and heard such glowing reviews. We tried several dishes including the 100 Layer Lasagna. Each dish was a hit. Service was exceptional. The biggest let down was with the bar. While it's fully stocked, they don't have a cocktail menu. ..kinda odd for a restaurant of this caliber. I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's located in a ritzy shopping area in case you'd like to burn off those carbs after dinner. read more

Best Italian in Dallas, easily. The one MAJOR complaint I have is that the staff changes the tables cloths right beside you while you're eating and WHIPS the cloth as they place it over the table (think folding clothes). VERY unsanitary and unsettling. Please, I hope management sees this and gets their wait staff to change the manner in which they replace their table cloth, bc nobody wants dust/dead skin cells, cloth, in their pasta! Thanks! read more

Love love Fachini! It's one of mine and my boyfriend's fav dinner spots in Dallas. Perfect for a last minute date night at the bar. This time, we brought our friends from out of town to experience the restaurant. Our server was Greggory and he was an excellent server. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We loved him! Definitely request him as your server. I love the little complimentary snacks they bring out while you wait on your drinks - pickled veggies, garlic butter bread with whipped ricotta cheese and some type of charcuterie meat. For apps, we ordered the fried calamari - so tasty! Lightly battered, perfectly fried and you could really taste the calamari and not just the oil from it being fried. For dinner, we ordered the fettuccine funghi (10/10), rigatoni alla vodka (7/10) and the cappelletti bolognese (8/10). I always order the fettuccine - it's not too heavy of a dish and the mushrooms are delicious. I wish the rigatoni had a little more sauce. Half way through the dish, it starts to thicken and curdle a little bit. Still good though. For dessert, it was my friend's birthday, they brought out a complimentary carrot cake. It was moist and fluffy. Highly recommend Fachini! We'll be back soon. read more

Do I start with the appetizer? Do I start with with the meal? How about I start with Daniel! Daniel was our bartender/server. Daniel is so passionate about the food it's contagious. From appetizers to dessert we took all of Daniel's recommendations and let me say, they did not disappoint Fachini has it all....amazing food, great atmosphere and of course, Daniel. Go check it out for yourself. You WILL not be disappointed. Ciao and Buon Appetito read more

Just had a fantastic Mother's Day dinner at Fachini. Wow!! So so good. The service was amazing and our server, Jack, was so helpful and kind.

Comfortable, elegant, cool ambiance too. Highly recommend Fachini -- you cannot go wrong. read more

I really loved the dark lit vibe. They have a bar to grab a drink while you are waiting. I had an 8:45 reservation and unfortunately didn't get sat until after 9 which is kind of annoying.

Fachini is a beautiful and delicious restaurant. The menu is filled with entrees I've never heard of before such as a 100 layer lasagna!! Furthermore, their customer service is spectacular. Our waiter was so engaging and kind and the hosts were welcoming. We ordered the lasagna of course, calamari, eggplant appetizer, pasta a la vodka, lobster ravioli, some kind of mushroom fettuccine, and fried veal. I would recommend everything, but the veal. It was kinda tough. Also I would warn a few people on the mushroom fettuccine, the fettuccine was fresh, very thin, and very soft. I personally like soft pasta so it didn't bother me. However, my mom doesn't so she really didn't like this dish. On the other hand, the pasta a la vodka had VERY al dents pasta. I would definitely return, 8.5/10! read more

WOW! As a New Yorker who's had my fair share of amazing Italian food, this place is up there as one of my favorite Italian restaurants I've ever dined at (maybe even THE favorite). Came here on a beautiful Saturday night and the vibe was perfect. The service was top notch. They also have a small and intimate rooftop that overlooks highland park village. I ordered the cappelletti and my husband ordered the rigatoni and they were both incredible. Can't wait to come back here! read more

Dined here at Fachini last night with 2 new girlfriends. We heard a lot of great things about Fachini, so we decided to have our first outing together here to celebrate. Our server, Bryan, was very dismissive and inattentive to our specific table. I observed him with all of his other tables and saw the exact opposite treatment. He walked by our table several times without checking on us, and without asking how the food was, or if we needed anything, until I finally had to flag him down at the end of our meal for service, and ask for a box for my leftover pasta. He asked if I wanted another glass of wine after our dinner was already over, and our table was already bussed. My friend who also had ordered hot tea, then finally got a refill of hot water, for her tea that had been empty for the past 20 minutes. Going into how inattentive and dismissive  he was. It's disappointing how we realized we only received service once we had to flag him down. Overall, terrible experience, thanks to Bryan. read more

Everything here was delicious! We started with the lobster ravioli (yum!) I had the Snapper New Orleans which was perfect! And my hubby had the wagyu filet. He loved it! The garlic bread they bring you is also very tasty. I can't wait to return so I can try other items on the menu! read more

I was able to come here on a busy night, pre-storm, pre-valentine's day and the team was very accommodating with my reservation being lost. Here is the breakdown: Food- let's start with the free appetizers. The bread with some toast feel was to die for. It came with Salami and cheese-- it was delicious. I ordered the 100 layer lasagna. Very delightful and light. Was scared that was going to be very heavy but it wasn't. Ended with the tiramisu: very generous portion... and equally as good. Decor/ ambiance- very nice vibe and relaxing environment. Perfect for family or a date night. Highly recommend. People definitely dress up a bit so definitely dress up a bit. Service- the hosts were amazing. The waiters were a bit disappointing. Not the most courteous. Wow factor- 100 layer lasagna truly a differentiation there. The feel of the restaurant was definitely a plus despite the lack of social distancing. Overall- had a good experience and would definitely go back. This visit was done during COVID: - social distance- not sure if it was fully reinforced. Definitely felt that the tables were all too close to me- - hand sanitizer- didn't noticed if they offered at the entrance but definitely not at the table - masks usage- definitely reinforced to the guest and staff read more

I'd heard this place was delicious, so I'm glad I was able to finally give it a try! Fachini is located in Highland Park Village. When we visited, their sign wasn't lit up, so we almost passed by it! It's right by YO! Lobster, so if you see that restaurant, look to its left and you'll find the stairs to Fachini. We had a reservation for 2 on a Tuesday evening, so we were seated immediately. But the restaurant wasn't too busy at the time. Service was very efficient - our waiter came up within minutes to get our waters and give us the cocktail menu. They also gave us some pickled veggies, slices of cured meat, and some garlic bread with olive oil + butter! Delicious start to a delicious dinner. I got the del capo (Earl Grey Infused Teeling + Amaro Vecchio + Allspice Dram + Oleo Saccharum TX Wildflower Honey + Angostura) - I've been really interested in earl grey infused drinks lately. This one was a bit too strong on the alcohol for me, but I still enjoyed it. The ice cube was super clear and pretty! For our appetizer, we went with the mussels salsicce. Very good with the tomato sauce. We also got the chopped salad with the red wine dressing. Refreshing. Then, for entrees, we got the veal chop marsala and cappelleti bolognese. The interesting thing about the bolognese is that the meat is wrapped inside the pasta! Interesting concept. The veal was tender, juicy. It went very well with the pieces of mushrooms on top! Our waiter suggested wine pairings with our entrees, and he did very well! My barbaresco red complemented the veal perfectly. We ended our meal with the tiramisu. We were very surprised when it was brought out because it's so large! We finished less than half of it. But it was so good! So soft, the coffee flavor wasn't too strong, not too sweet either! Had a lovely experience here, and I would totally come again! read more

This is the best reason to come to highland park village, and worth every penny. The terrace was beautiful and felt private, and it was the perfect girls dinner spot. The espresso martini was delicious, the martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was magnificent and I have zero guilt about the best tiramisu I've ever had. And the ten layer lasagna was as promised, unique and amazing, but I can't wait to come back and try a few more entrees. Oh and order the lobster ravioli and I will refund you myself if it disappoints! read more
