Faccia a Faccia Boston Reviews

They serve quite a few hard to find gluten free dishes! I knew we were coming here from the moment we planned our Boston trip. And it did not disappoint. Service was amazing. I could take pictures of every inch of this place! And the food was grea
While the food and atmosphere of Faccia a Faccia was
While the food and atmosphere of Faccia a Faccia was incredible, we were left quite disappointed with the service. We came here to celebrate a birthday however our waiter appeared to be rushing us out. We didn't feel quite welcomed and felt that
Great oysters and drinks! Very fun and engaging bar
Great oysters and drinks! Very fun and engaging bar tenders! Quick service! I couldn't ask for more!
Good Italian food but very pricey for the portion size.
Squid ink pasta was the favorite. Grandma bread was like 3 bites of food
Absolutely phenomenal food.
We had multiple dishes, drinks, and desserts and it was all world-class. Excellent service too!

Went back to Faccia after going a few years ago when it first opened and it remains good but with some drawbacks. The food was tasty but heavy and quite expensive (yes, an occupational hazard of Newbury St). Drinks were excellent and we tried most of

I thought this place was yummy! The service was super quick - they bring food out as it's ready. We sat outside on the patio and it was a great experience especially since it was open newbury. I'm vegetarian and there was a decent amount of
The interior is beautiful and very nicely lit.
The menu is pretty limited but cohesive, and the staff were friendly. The Copley Salad was amazing! Overall a very nice experience, I just wish there were more options.
Expensive food that almost feels gimmicky.
The starters are expensive for little value and little taste. Misleading items as well (lobster arancini which is just 1 cheap tasting rice ball topped in cold lobster and a pinch of caviar for $28). Service is fine, food comes out fast and you are
Overpriced.
The food here is delicious but it is mostly really overpriced. Today I had the lobster arancini. It was one small arrancini with lobster salad on it (think lobster and mayo) and some caviar. The caviar added nothing to the dish. It was $28!! Delici
Five of us ate here for the first time last night.
We sat outside as it was a beautiful night. Our waitress from Ukraine was very helpful in describing the menu and making suggestions. This is a Topas restaurant with many shareable dishes. We weren't in the mood to share so we all ordered our o
not an Italian restaurant
the title says it. I was there with a group of 10 people. Neither food nor cultural experience has the remotest semblance of Italy. Food was good though, although service and atmosphere were poor.
Made us leave
I try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, especially restaurants I’ve visited previously and had a great experience. However I woke up this morning and was still really bothered by how we were treated last night so I am writing this revie
Casual Ambiance With Menu Designed To Share
We learned about Faccia a Faccia, “Face To Face” in Italian, watching NESN’s Billy & Jenny show, and have enjoyed Ken Oeringer’s other restaurants, so we were eager to try it. On a chilly May night, we of course dined inside. Nice staff
Great Atmosphere and Good Food
Stumbled across this place and food was tasty and good service. Did have to send the pasta back as was undercooked but when it came back was good although had ordered the pasta with zucchini flowers although replaced with zucchini and no flowers in s
Style over substance. Expensive, average food, indifferent service and silly food/drink pacing.
Style over substance. Average food, very high prices, frankly poor service, and the ‘we’ll being the dishes and drinks out when they’re ready, or if we remember’ vibe just doesn’t work. I particularly enjoyed ‘the asparagus takes much lon
Terrible pacing and not good for a group
Beautiful space, and overpriced. Service was nonexistent. The pacing was *terrible.* One pasta comes out, then 15 minutes later a salad, then 15 minutes later a risotto, then another salad. Would only go back to have a drink at the bar. Don't re
Exceeded expectations
Great Ken Oringer restaurant on Newbury Street. Wasn’t sure it would be touristy in this location but we thoroughly enjoyed every single dish we ordered. No notes. Loved the whipped ricotta snap pea toast; the fried artichoke; the calamari (what wa
Decent food, weird pacing
Cute interior. Not too loud. "Small plates" concept that allows the kitchen to push out things whenever they are ready. The pace of the meal wasn't great--it was a sort of torrent of food at the beginning followed by an incredibly
well, the food and service were flawless.
home made gluten free pasta was amazing, all tapas style appetizers had fabulous texture, flavors, and the presentation was spot on. We had a great time.
Overpriced for tiny portions.
It's a nice vibe inside but don't think it's worth the money
I feel like this becoming my thing: Bar staff that is
I feel like this becoming my thing: Bar staff that is distant, cold and unattentive. Once again, this was my experience this past week at Faccia a Faccia. Sat at the bar and finally the bartender comes by and does us a favor by taking our order. No
Highly recommend coming here! The food and vibes are
Highly recommend coming here! The food and vibes are amazing!! My girlfriend and I had the duck breast with foie gras and it was absolutely to die for! Very hip spot and very good cocktails as well! Definitely check it!!
Brunch was struggle city
Out of Bloody Marys, out of pancakes - disappointing! Food was good and came out quickly. Might be a better spot for dinner than brunch.
Visited last February to celebrate my son's birthday.
Found the atmosphere a bit stuffy and the food slightly above average, if not overpriced. Would not have reviewed this place, except to relay this odd tale. Upon ordering a martini with extra olives, my wife was told that they instituted a 3-olive

most AMAZING meal i have had in a while - the food was all so delicious, everything was able to be curated gluten free to accommodate to a table allergy and the service was fantastic! will definitely be back!

We have basically become regulars here! As a gluten-free gal, I love going to places that are very accommodating to dietary restrictions, Faccia a Faccia never disappoints! We had Lisa as our server and she was amazing!!! 10 out of 10 recommend if y
Great food.
Warm service. Killer vibes. Tre nice. I love walking down Newbury St and sitting at the bar.

I like the spacious environment and it seemed like a great place for catching up with friends. I honestly was not impressed with the food. Nothing tasted off by any means, I just didn't really enjoy the flavor profile of the food we ordered. We als
I'm probably being a little harsh because I was so excited
I'm probably being a little harsh because I was so excited to try faccia a faccia. Everything was decent but wow is it overpriced. I'm happy to splurge for a great meal but this just wasn't worth it for the price. Try Coppa or Select Oyster Bar inste
Came here for drinks and sat at the bar.
I got to make my own mezcal cocktails which was super fun!
Cozy and delicious coastal italian
Incredible meal at Faccia a Faccia -- loved everything we had. Large room with cozy ambiance, central bar, open kitchen. Highlights included the mozzarella sticks (never had a mozzarella stick with caviar on it!). Delicious and just a bit over the
A cut above the rest
This Italian restaurant is a cut above the rest. It had a real buzz to it and the food was inventive (but not weird!) Italian rather than the old favourites that one tends to find in average Italian restaurants. The whipped ricotta with roasted Bruss

We had a reservation for my birthday (my first birthday alone since my twin sister passed away) with the rest of my family. We were seated an hour and a half after our reservation. The receptionist was talking about our party as we grew impatient. Mo
Lovely ambiance, casual but still upscale.
Excellent cocktails. Pasta was quality but not so so much better than what you can find elsewhere, so the high price point felt unjustified. Bartenders were friendly and fast, food took a while. Would highly recommend for some cocktails, but I have r
Came here while visiting Boston on a work trip.
This place is phenomenal. It's small plates of Italian with a hint of local flare. EVERYTHING we ate was good. Literally. Only thing to keep in mind is that all items come out at there own pace. There is no rhyme or reason, or order. My favorite was
Wonderful!
I recommend sitting at bar to fully enjoy the full ambiance of this wonderful restaurant! Octopus, bay scallops en crudo, and pastas are stand-outs. Also a major shoutout for the Sardinian Connanau red wine - Sarja!!! Really great! Staff knows menu
I'm going to be totally transparent - when I went to Boston
I'm going to be totally transparent - when I went to Boston I didn't expect to be going to this restaurant. I had reservations at the little donkey (their sister restaurant) but they had to close that night due to a pipe burst. I was totally panicked
Excellent Experience
This restaurant has helpful friendly staff, and excellent food. The Iberian sausage was especially noteworthy. The wine list is excellent and reasonably priced. Reservations are essential and difficult to get. One of the owners told us that even with

Truly great food - since the first time I went a few months
Truly great food - since the first time I went a few months ago, I've been back 4-5 times. Everything is sooo good - definitely my new favorite restaurant in Boston proper!
Went with my parents and sister for her birthday.
My thoughts are:Vibe: On a Saturday night, there was Drake blasting all dinner. I loved it, and it isn't that my parents minded, but maybe not the ideal setting for a family dinner. I would definitely enjoy this with girl friends, but less so with my
First posted on Resy in November.
Worth sharing again. This restaurant was a massive disappointment. As former Bostonians visiting the city this week, we looked forward to dining at Ken Oringer's newest venture. We reserved a table at Faccia on October 1st as soon as their calendar a
A celiac heaven! They have a lot of gluten free options
A celiac heaven! They have a lot of gluten free options that are deemed to be celiac safe which is wonderful for my husband! They are super aware of cross contamination and my husband did not experience any symptoms after we dined here!
Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff.
The food was beautifully presently and delicious. My reason for giving 3 stars is because the portions are incredibly small for what you pay for. Our server mentioned we should order multiple small plates per person to share as a tapas style however
Jamie and Ken have done it again!
Wow! What a great meal! We are big fans of Coppa and Toro, and Jamie and Ken have hit it out of the park with their newest addition. Every bite we had was delicious and perfectly seasoned from the smaller plates like Grandma’s bread and grilled
Excellent Food, VERY Pricey
Food is excellent, as is service, but the prices are ridiculous for pretty small plates. $42 for breaded chicken and a little bit of shaved artichokes......really? The fried artichokes are the best I've had, including Rome, but $21 for a pretty small
Worth the price- excellent food
Amazing food - best bowls of pasta we've ever eaten! On the pricier side but definitely worth it. Lovely decor and atmosphere too. Ali, our waitress, was so lovely and cheery! Highly recommended.
Mai piu Never Again !!
Went to Faccia a Faccia with new friends for Dinner on 12/23. First time for all. Had 5:30 reservation. Only time available. We are all approx. 75 yrs old and were enjoying each other’s company. Drank wine and conversed for 45 minutes and we’re
A new brunch favorite
Everything is a must-try dish at Faccia a faccia, @facciaboston Another Ken Oringer hit. The pasta was not the highlight. Good but not exceptional. My favorites: black bass crudo, garlic hanger steak, and the apple pancake (crispy edges and fluffy).

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Faccia a Faccia Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Faccia a Faccia Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Faccia a Faccia Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Faccia a Faccia Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
