"When Fausto first opened, a few of your coworkers probably expressed interest in going before realizing it was just about impossible to get a reservation. But now the frenzy has died down, and you could eat there tonight. Think of this Prospect Heights Italian place as an overachieving neighborhood restaurant, and make it a goal to come here so often that you can start calling it “your spot.” It’s perfect for dates, it’s perfect for a catch-up dinner with a friend, and it’s perfect for any time you’d like to eat some excellent pasta and feel like you’re living an unrealistic version of your own life." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
