This place has been on my Dallas to do list for a while. The atmosphere is upbeat and fun. The service is nice. Food isn't bad, but I wouldn't come here for the food. It's a place to have fun. Ambiance: Nice looking dining room. It is a bit loud, but it is still easy to have a conversation at the table. A fair number of people were dressed up on the Saturday evening we visited. The flimsy paper menus seemed out of place. Food: Everything was tasty and simple. We started with the carpaccio, then 100 layer lasagna and veal parmigiana, and finally tiramisu. Portions are sizable and hearty. We were fans of the tiramisu.

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 Star Service: 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 Stars Food: 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 Stars Overall: 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.

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.

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.

Amazing. 10/10. Need to go back and try all the other pastas/dishes. Pictures don't do the food justice. Also the calamari may be the best I have ever had. Great service. Great atmosphere.

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.

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!!
