This restaurant has the perfect setting for a date night and the food was very flavorful. My only critique is the lack of non alcoholic beverages and the only option being a mocktail that has tastes like it has sparkling water in it. The taste was not very good.

Food was amazing. I recommend the short rib ravioli. Another member of our party had the Sunday sauce and that was amazing as well. Service was very good. Lighting was very dim and the dining room was very loud.

This was the 4th time here, each time food is great but service is horrible. 2 servers for the entire place and 1 bartender. Took about 20min to get a drink at our table. The restaurant wasn’t even 1/2 full so it’s really odd to take so long.

Loved our dinner, food and service was excellent. My only complaint would be the music level, it was so loud and hard to have a conversation.

My husband and I went to Fanny’s after it was recommended to us by friends. We decided to get a bunch of appetizers to split, and have pasta and a veggie. The first course, we started with the meatballs and the stuffed clams. The polenta and the sauce that came with the meatballs blew us away. The meatballs were very tender. The clams were delicious with the nduja and breadcrumbs. Our second course was the caponata crostone and the whipped ricotta crostone with zucchini ribbons. The caponata was delicious, and goes so well with the goat cheese. The whipped ricotta on the bread made me think of a bagel with whipped butter in the best way. Combining it with the zucchini, which was marinated and grilled, was such a great combo. I ordered the vodka sauce pasta, which was surprisingly light, and my husband ordered the short rib ravioli. We split the Brussels sprouts, which had a lovely array of flavors and textures. Our server was incredibly kind and did such a great job. Everyone we encountered was lovely. The ambiance was so interesting. It was as if they took one central space and created three different rooms due to the decor. It’s a wonderful date night spot with either a significant other or friends. I’m looking forward to coming back soon.
