The 27 Best Italian Restaurants In New York City - New York - The Infatuation

"The menu at Fausto in Park Slope hasn’t changed much since it opened in 2017, and that’s one of the reasons why we like it so much. That, and the fact that the people in the kitchen know how to make a great bowl of pasta (which makes sense: both co-owners come from L'Artusi). Order things like hearty orecchiette with fennel-braised pork and some kale, or the punchy fettuccine with tomato sauce and calabrian chili. Always start your meal with the little gem salad, and finish it off with an amaro and the olive oil cake. Fausto is great for special occasions or dinner with your parents, but a meal alone at the bar is just as good." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
