Fachini

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 StarService: 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 StarsFood: 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 StarsOverall: 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.

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.

I recently visited Fachini, and the interior immediately stood out--it's a beautifully designed space with the perfect ambiance for an intimate dinner, whether for business or pleasure.Service:Our waitress, Sarah W, was fantastic. She took her time to walk us through the menu and even helped me pick out some wines to try, which made the experience feel personalized and enjoyable.Food:The snapper was outstanding--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The mussels were also solid and satisfying. As for the lobster ravioli, there was a bit of a hiccup as the first dish came out overly salty, likely a mistake in the kitchen. However, the staff handled it well, and once remade, the ravioli was delicious and worth the wait. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and carrot cake, both of which were excellent. Sarah mentioned they're made in-house, and you could taste the care that went into them.Ambiance:The cozy yet refined atmosphere makes Fachini a great spot for a special occasion or a quiet evening out.Overall:While the menu is quite limited and on the pricey side, the attentive service, high-quality food, and charming ambiance make Fachini a lovely dining experience. I'd recommend it for those looking to treat themselves or celebrate a special evening.

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.

I recently visited during Restaurant Week, and it was an incredible experience! I ordered the Rigatoni alla Vodka with Meatball, and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was super flavorful without being overly salty, and the meatball was perfectly tender. My friend got the Fettuccine al Ragu di Funghi, which was equally amazing. Both dishes were rich and satisfying, and we were both impressed.We were way too stuffed to fully enjoy the desserts, but we couldn't resist trying the carrot cake, and I'm glad we did! I'm usually not a big fan of carrot cake, but this one was fantastic. One thing to note: parking can be a bit tricky, especially during peak hours when the area is busy with shoppers and people visiting other restaurants. But the food and service are well worth the effort to find a spot!Fachini has definitely become my new favorite restaurant in the area. I can't wait to return! Highly recommend it for anyone in the mood for amazing Italian food.

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.

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

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!!

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!

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.
