    Modern, clean decor. Great service. The food was very good, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The trout dish was probably my favorite.

    rock shrimp with squid ink pasta
    Marc F.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood, hands down. I always love visiting here for special occasions - birthdays, anniversaries, any celebration really. Have been here a few times more and loved it every time. Fun to grab a seat at the bar and have a nice solo dinner or a quiet table in the back. The cauliflower salad is a can't miss for me. Perfectly salty anchovy dressing, a nice mix of crunchy raw cauliflower or tender roasted cauliflower. Rockfish with squid ink pasta was a familiar combination but delightful and delicate. Don't be afraid to order a focaccia to wipe the plate clean. And cant go wrong with the classic roast chicken salsa verde with potatoes. Good luck saving room for dessert. But you'll find it in you to at least top it off with an affogato.

    Settanta cinque
    Maggie T.

    This was a meal that had no misses for me! Everything was excellent. I got the settanta cinque to drink and it was better than I was expecting, as it was a great balance of sweet and smokiness. I often find that mezcal drinks can be too smoky and overpowering but this drink struck a great balance between the flavors. We ordered the little gem salad to start per our server's recommendation and it was absolutely delicious. For my main, I ordered the orecchiette pasta and wow!! So good. The fennel braised beef was so flavorful and you could absolutely tell that the pasta was homemade. The shape of the pasta also works great for this dish as the cup shape allows you to scoop up the beef all in one bite. Our server did a great job of walking us through the menu and providing recommendations. Overall a great place for date night or dinner with friends!! Make a reservation if you can.

    Pork chop
    Peggy C.

    Great atmosphere, tasty food. The highly touted whole wheat pasta is interesting and flavorful, but much more lemony than expected. I was happy to experience it once, but I probably would not get it again. The bolognese sauce was super fresh and delightful. The pork chop was very tender, but the accompaniments are just OK. The service was good. I never felt like I was lacking anything, but we were not interrupted much either - just the way I like it. We will be back!

    Campanelle
    Lindsey O.

    Great food and service. They have a few outdoor seats for the people who will probably never feel comfortable dining indoors like myself again (I know most people aren't where I'm at, but the continued offering of some outdoor seats is truly appreciated). Our multiple servers were very friendly and helpful. I had the orange wine which was delicious and tasted like juice, and my friend and I started with the focaccia and the arancini. Both were great but the arancini really knocked it out of the park. For ny main, I had the campanelle. It was very tasty, especially with the kick from the spicy lamp sausage. I definitely would recommend it. My friend had the orecchiette - I tried his and we both agreed it was a little salty. But the campanelle was just right and I'd totally get it again. I had gelato for dessert - it was good but I've had better gelato. I think I'd opt for the panna cotta next time instead. I would definitely return!

    Paparadelle
    Dahlia C.

    Fausto was lovely! We made a res for a party of 4 on a Saturday evening day of, though it was the weekend following Thanksgiving so maybe normally this wouldn't be possible. We ordered a couple apps (cauliflower, arancini, and focaccia) and 4 pastas (pappardelle, paccheri, capellini nero, and chitarra) to share. This was a perfect amount of food. Mt favorites: the cauliflower (loved the anchovy caper vinaigrette) and the paccheri (delicious lemony flavor) I'd say our experience was a 4.5 out of 5 because we had to wait a little while for our table to be ready despite having a res, and the coursing timing was a bit off (we had to wait longer than we waited to between the first and second round of pastas). Otherwise everything was fantastic. Would recommend and would go back!

    Olive oil cake
    Fayee T.

    Unique /true Italian style , with great service The menu is only one page but has nice variety of platters As appetizers we get the cauliflower and the stracciatella both were tasty full of savory flavors And then capellini Nero ( delicious black squid ink pasta with shrimp :was delicious but has a bit of spicy flavor. The oreccietta was delicious as well , whole wheat chitarra( this platter was amazingly delicious with egg yolk Black bass was ok For dessert olive oil cake covered with marmalade and vanilla panna cotta was outstanding Recommend!

    This is a $25 dollar pasta???

    The pasta is SO overpriced for the amount you get. They rip you off if you order online. Absolute theft.

    Bucatini
    Manan D.

    I came here on my birthday for some fresh pasta and a chill date. I had also specifically searched for a nearby place with Bucatini on the menu, as that is the single greatest noodle known to man. Was not disappointed at all - the bucatini here is absolutely delicious, perfectly chewy, and holds sauce inside the noodle exactly like it should. The pine nuts on top added a great texture too! For such a reasonable price, the food was outstanding and the meal felt fancy. The restaurant vibe is very warm and cozy, and felt both classy and homely at the same time. The service was similarly both very professional and warm. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Arancini.
    Annalise W.

    Cute little neighborhood spot. Came on a Friday evening a few weeks ago and it was only half full, which was surprising. Good ambiance and service. Food: Not sure I'd go far out of my way for this place, but I live close enough that I'd definitely go back again. My favorites were actually not even the pasta dishes! Between 2 people we ordered: -House Made Focaccia: this was sooo good. I honestly would go back just for this bread. -Little Gem Salad: I think they switched out the salads. The one I got was more similar to a caesar covered in parm cheese and red onions and it was amazing. Nothing fancy, but for some reason I crave this salad. I hope they bring it back!! -Arancini: I wish it came with more sauce. -Campanella Pasta: this was my favorite pasta. -Bucatini Nero: I normally like clam pasta but there was some herb or seasoning that was super overpowering and I did not like it. However, my fiancé liked this pasta so it's just a taste preference. -Lumache: typical bolognese, but good! -Strawberry Panna Cotta: I loved this. Tasted like the strawberry yogurt with the fruit chunks I used to eat as a kid.

    I don't think Fausto is toddler friendly.

    Is brunch all day?

    We host weekend brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am - 2:30pm. Hope to see you soon!

    Gluten free options?

    Yes! We have a variety of gluten free options available for brunch and dinner.

    Is this restaurant Vegan friendly? And if so what are the best options on the menu?

    Yes they have a vegan option that you have to ask for. It's a twisty noodle with a marinara type sauce and you can add mushrooms. It's not on the menu. Ask the waiter. It's actually pretty yummy!

    Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.
