Having dispensed with its previous incarnation, this attractive spot has remerged as a sleek and upscale restaurant. Fausto serves consistently delicious Italian-influenced food courtesy of Chef/owner Erin Shambura, but its overall ethos is guided by restaurateur (and sommelier), Joe Campanale.

The kitchen showcases a distinctive take on Southern regional fare that ensures each bowl of pasta is a showstopper. Find evidence in the whole wheat bigoli al torchio, twirled with duck ragù and Piave Vecchio. Regardless of what you eat, save room for the roasted heirloom vegetables set atop goat cheese with pistachios and a drizzle of honey. Forge ahead with impressive fish and seafood items, before closing out with a superb cheese course in lieu of dessert.
