Noah WeissFebruary 16, 2016🍝🍹❤️. Focus on their fantastic and quite original "pastas". The squid ink pasta, mushroom gnocchi, bucatini with chicken, and the whiskey sour all great. Trendy vibe with soaring ceilings.
Aja BrandmanFebruary 18, 2018Nice open space kitchen/dining room concept. Food was delicious with some different takes on pasta. The mushroom, corn, whey pasta had a foam sauce to accompany it. The roast duck was amazing.
BrooklynBoyOMay 14, 2015Food is 5-star. Cocktails & drinks are amaze-balls. Dessert = fuggedaboudit! Pictured are the Bushwick Buck + Bridge & Tunnel's TigerEyes Hazelnut Brown Ale. Do the Brandy Bramble, too, in the summer!
Absolutely incredible from cocktails to dessert. Get the dandelion salad and rolls to start. The gnocchi and buccatini were sensational. The staff definitely knows what they are doing.
Emily WilsonFebruary 10, 2017The gnudi with pork ragu, fennel, and cream is the shining star of pastas at Faro, and possibly of the whole menu. It's like a rich, creamy, and complex lasagna in new form.
Amy WangJanuary 15, 2018Went there for both nye and Sunday evening yesterday. Nice staff very prompt Sevi even food is tasty however steak, duck, even pasta all served as tempid temperature.
Becca McArthurJuly 17, 2016I'm still dreaming about the bucatini with pulled chicken, chili, basil & alpine cheese (swapped in gluten-free pasta & it was still amazing). Apps are very small & service is slow, though.
Possibly the best new modern Italian spot in the city. Try the squid ink pasta and Whiskey Sour 👌🏻
Kika GSeptember 12, 2015Really beautiful space that feels airy and big without being echoey or loud. Share something from every section of the menu, especially the squid ink pasta
chin1taMarch 9, 2016the food here is outlandishly good! even the bread-and-butter dish is exciting. my favorite was the porridge, which was mysterious and wonderful.
Joseph MarchettiJanuary 31, 2016Amazing past tasting menu### we have been her re three time is the the last week the food is so good.
such a great vibe. The space itself is huge yet cozy. The gnudi had to be one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.
Dr. EesSeptember 3, 2018Superior. And worth the $. First class service. Amazing food. Great menu. Terrific wine choices. Very LOUD when busy.
Morgan HenryNovember 5, 2016Drinks A+, pumpkin icebox cake A++, pasta very good and well portioned as well. Deserves title "best new restaurant in NYC"
jiresellJuly 11, 2015By the same people who run Northeast Kingdom. Share the plates! Great decor. Worth the trip to Bushwick to eat here.
Asuka TsujiOctober 4, 2015A little pricy but tastes good. Try aged duck breast and squid ink pasta! Beef carpaccio was okay, olive oil was lil too much.
jamie macdonaldAugust 2, 2015Great pasta, fantastic beef dishes too. Bread is top notch as well. Nice experience all around, really nice decor.
Chirag PatelMarch 5, 2017Gnocchi Alla Romana excellent. Almost like a big piece of polenta tofu. Cabbage and caraway on top great
Tessa LawDecember 11, 2015Pasta is absolutely delicious! Portions aren't huge so skip the tiny appetizers and order an extra pasta dish to share.
Philipp NassJanuary 31, 2018I enjoyed an upscale dinner here. Great selection of food and superb quality. Service was great too.
Brendan MNovember 19, 2015Squid ink pasta is all the rage of course but don't miss the steak tartare or sweet potato soup
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 11, 2021Sesame bread, squash pasta, oaxacan cocktail, spanish white wine, trout, crudo. Pumpkin desert skippable. Crudo tiny not worth it.
David PacklesSeptember 4, 2015Unbelievable new restaurant in Bushwick. Inventive flavors, beautiful space, and great service.
Justin HSeptember 13, 2016Perhaps the best pasta I've had in New York City, and reasonably priced at that.
Adam D.July 19, 2019Food is delicious, but you will pay a fortune to leave starving. Super small portions.
Bradley BoughtonAugust 6, 2017Small portions that was good but not amazing. I got the NY strip steak expecting a at least a whole piece of steak. I got 3 small chunks of steak and 3 tiny potatoes. All for the price of $26.
Get the rye pasta with braised beef or the Roman gnocchi
Joslyn HansenNovember 11, 2016Everything was very good but the pasta is truly exceptional and not to be missed.
Colm O GradaDecember 14, 2016The foie was immense. Pastas very creative with great flavour combinations.
Get the rigatoni. The pork belly is also outstanding.
Beef Tartare and Duck Breast, two items I'd like to be buried with when I die.
