Good atmosphere. Excellent service. Great drinks. The food was excellent although I thought my entree was too lemony. Of course, that is a personal taste. My wife thought it was fantastic. We will go back. It’s definitely worth the return trip. More things on the menu that I want to try.

This rating is based on my food only as it was take out. Though that staff was friendly while I was there.

A beautiful experience! Great, cozy and authentic atmosphere…the mozzarella-stuffed eggplant appetizer is AMAZING…the sprinkled breadsticks are so tasty and my favorite Italian dish, lasagna, was FANTASTIC! Can’t wait to go back!

We had a lovely dining experience the evening of 1/23/21. We were seated promptly with our reservation, and I liked the attention to covid rules.

First visit…it was great! Absolutely loved the veal parmigiana and the Involltini di Pollo (chicken breast stuffed with spinach and mozzarella) with mushroom cream sauce. Served fresh salad and hot garlic bread. Service was great!

A delight to share a meal again at Fausto’s. The soft shell crab over crawfish pasta is delightful! The restaurant is buzzing w flocks of New Orleanians anxious for the superb food!

This place is cozy and buzzing with patrons. The wait was very short for our party of 3 even though the restaurant was mostly full. This was recommended by a local and I was absolutely not disappointed. I knew from the moment we walked in that our meal would be fantastic. After we were seated, our drink orders were taken and we were able to look at the menu. The lighting was a little lower than I normally like it but the menu was not difficult to read. We ordered the Arrancini to start with and it was perfect for sharing with 3 people. I wish more Italian restaurants would serve this dish instead of the standard mozzarella sticks (which I will always love). We each ordered different plates for our main course. I had the veal saltimboca, my lady had the eggplant parmigiana, and our friend ordered the chicken marsala. Everything came out beautifully and everyone cleared their plates. Then at the end of the meal we split a tiramisu because while we were stuffed, we couldn’t leave the place without having something a little sweet. I will, without a doubt, come back to this wonderful establishment. It reminded me of summer trips to see my family in New York City. The food was delicious and our service was top notch.

Quiet little gem of a place. I’ve had the veal with artichokes and lump crab, the escargots and they were perfectly prepared! Save room for dessert and cappuccino ♡♡♡

Metairie’s Italian restaurant’s best hidden treasure! Since the early 80’s, Fausto’s has been consistently serving mouth watering Italian staples that will leave you wanting more. The murals and atmosphere add to the experience. Plus super friendly service. A must go to!
