Yes this place is a bit pricey, but. We had very good food, good service, and good and reasonably priced wine. A group of us were in Ocean City for a golf outing. A couple of our friends recommended we go here. During the week before Memorial day, the place was busy, but not overcrowded. We were seated right away... More

I just wanted to comment on this restaurant as to the different sides as my wife and I saw it. We were in Ocean City, MD. about a week ago and stopped in this Italian Restaurant for dinner. It was early so there were only a couple other tables there. I have to say that the food was exceptional, but... More

If you have not visited this restaurant you are doing yourself a disservice. The food was cooked to perfection and the waitress was very friendly. The owner Fausto was very knowledgable and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants real italian food. It was a little pricey but I would have payed double for the meal that I... More

Fausto, your Host is very charming and makes sure the food is superb and the atmosphere welcoming. He visits every table and takes time to chat. Moving to OC from Long Island in 2005, this is my family's favorite Upscale Restaurant. The prices are up there, but for a special occasion are truly worth it. Only the freshest veggies and... More

I have some NJ Italian advice for those considering this place – FORGETABOUTIT. Really! The wait staff were rude, inattentive, salesy, cocky, disorganized, unapologetic, unaccommodating, and did I mention rude. In over twenty years of traveling for business, this was the worst when it came to service. From simple requests (substituting Spaghetti for Penne) to being told, literally, what we... More

Apparently the owner only greets those he wishes to greet - he totally ignored our party, leading us to wonder why. Our waitress seemed annoyed with us when we declined the bottled water and things only went downhill from that point on. Waitress seemed determined to 'up-sell' us and wasn't even friendly about it. Nevertheless, we stayed, despite the wait... More

For an unforgrttable dining experience, with authentic Italian food and impeccable service, this is the place. I would put it on the same level as any 5 star restaurant, anywhere !!! And to boot, the owner, Fausto, is all the entertainment you need. and, he'll cook anything special you ask for, if it's not already on his menu.

This was our third visit to Fausto's. He did not dissapoint. As others have stated, it is worth the wait and reservations are a must during peak season. My husband said it was the best sauce he's ever eaten (!). I got the veal scallopini marsala and it was perfect. The house merlot was fabulous. Iit is a bit pricey;... More
