    What makes it fun

    At Fachini, you’re greeted by midnight blue walls, vintage glam vibes, and tuxedoed servers straight out of a classic Italian-American film. The retro-chic décor creates an elegant but not stuffy ambiance. Chef Julian Barsotti serves up handcrafted pastas and classic Italian-American comfort with upscale flair. The menu features think lobster ravioli, Wagyu tenderloin a la pepe, and rigatoni alla vodka. Make sure to try the 100 layer lasagna. If you want a date night that feels luxurious without being over the top, Fachini is the spot for you. Fachini offers up good food, vintage charm, a bit of theatricality, and plenty of opportunities to lean a little closer to steal a bite or share a kiss.

    I recently visited Fechini Restaurant with my neighbor and had an amazing experience. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe pasta, 100-layer lasagna, a salad, and tiramisu to finish. Everything from start to end was memorable.

    The Cacio e Pepe was absolutely perfect in my opinion—rich, cheesy, with just the right kick of pepper. I really loved the depth of flavor, especially the balance between the cheese and that freshly cracked pepper. My neighbor, on the other hand, found it a bit spicy and mentioned the pasta was slightly overcooked for her taste—so I think it really depends on personal preference. But for me, it was spot on.

    The 100-layer lasagna was just as incredible as I remembered—this was actually my second time having it, and it didn’t disappoint. Each bite was layered with flavor and perfectly balanced. The salad was fresh and simple, a nice contrast to the richness of the pasta.

    We ended with the tiramisu, which was a highlight. It was honestly better than many dessert cafés I’ve been to—light, creamy, and full of flavor. It tied the meal together beautifully.

    Parking can be a bit challenging since it’s in the Highland Park shopping area, but on the plus side, it's a great spot to walk around and explore after your meal.

    If you’re looking for a cozy place with elevated comfort food, flavorful pasta, and desserts worth saving room for—Fechini is a must-try.

    Fachini is fabulous. Walking up the stairs with the plush red carpet and entering the energetic vibe of the dining room creates a good feeling. Our server was on point during the entire experience. He struck us as a person who genuinely enjoys engaging with the patrons. The food was really good, but I recently dined at an exceptional Italian restaurant in Chicago where the food was next level so my bar to hit 5 stars in this category is very high. Nevertheless, Fachini is in Dallas and among the best Italian restaurants we have here.

    The place was recommended by one of the sellers from Dallas Market. They even made the reservations for us. We showed up at 7. Promptly seated. Wonderful garlic bread and calamari. Dinner was a couple of great pasta dishes. I think this is a place to share a plate. Portions are quite large. The wine selection is fabulous. Shared a carrot cake for dessert. I would definitely recommend and return here.

    If we could give 10⭐️'s, we would. Everything was fantastic. Service, food, portions. We came for DFW Restaurant Week and our expectations were exceeded. The homemade ricotta was out of this world!! We will definitely be back! My husband said this is the best Italian food he's had. Even though they did not have sweet tea, the tea was infused with something and still very good.

    Second time we went was just as amazing. We took my mother and she loved it!
