This Michelin restaurant definitely deserves the 5 stars! Above and beyond. Exceptional service, interesting food and a nice chill atmosphere. The highlight was the tradizionale ligurian foccacina. Light flaky, flavorful! The mandilli di seta was a very close second.. perfectly cooked noodles with a super creamy pesto style sauce ( not the traditional pesto, but all the flavor)
Love the crostata for appetizer, my favorite is always the pesto pasta . Also the peperu is my favorite for appetizer. May God keep blessing this place and its owners . This is about my 5th time in this place . My husband loved the branzino
We parked in the lot behind the building and walked over, didn’t know we needed reservations but they were available within the half hour. Our server recommended the Paradiso and 18K gold cocktails which were interesting! The gnocchi was absolutely delicious and the best I’ve had thus far. It’s lovely inside despite the tight fit when it’s busy. Amazing food and service!
I've been to Factory Kitchen multiple times and it's always a great, flavorful experience.
This time we ordered multiple dishes to try.
The prosciutto is super good. The creamy cheese complements the prosciutto nicely. Also had the flatbread tradizionale which was very good as well.
Booth mains were great. Mandilli di seta home made pasta was cooked perfectly and the Porchetta was SO good, melted in my mouth!
Always great here and will continue to beat favorite stop for Italian food
Very good, everything on the menu is just great. Not sure what to recommend first, but do yourself a favor and try their prosciutto dish, their drinks, and the cheese bread
Factory Kitchen never disappoints for a night out or dinner with friends. Wonderful food, drinks, and service are always consistently on point. The Porchetta is to die for and always cooked perfectly. You must start with Prosciutto de Parma with fried sage dough. You will not be disappointed.
Warmly welcomed, carefully tended to & lovingly fed. And all of this without totally breaking the bank. Staff is super well trained, the food is as good as in Italy. Yeah, no wonder they have been around for 10 years. We had a really lovely night.
Great option for a business dinner venue. They planned it really well for a party of 14. Service was amazing. Food was delish. We ended ordering a bunch of appetizers as there were a lot of great options and a couple of pasta dishes. My favorite app was Prosciutto, peperu and Scottona.
I will definitely be back for dinner. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal dining experience. Worth every penny. The beets appetizer, all the pastas (mostly the gnocchi), the bread pudding - perfect. Insanely delicious. Great service. Perfect for special intimate dinner.

Came back a second time and removed a star. The beets appetizer is still phenomenal but not all the pasta dishes are that great. Would pass on the ravioli and the other clams pasta. The pizzata was OK, sorta soggy. The prosciutto appetizer and duck entree were boring and uninspired.
The pasta is excellent and unusual; will definitely make a lasting impression if you are looking to be surprised with new flavors. The appetizer salad was quite disappointing: arugula, fennel, and orange slices for $18. The space is intimate but the ceilings a bit low and I don’t get the plastic plants hanging from columns. Maybe they put the Kitch in the Kitchen!
Lovely regional Italian food from Liguria in a chic setting with excellent service. Although the handmade pasta is the star, don't discount the excellent fried leeks appetizer (light and deft), the cipollini onions (perfectly cooked with Balsamic vinegar) and especially the veal sweetbreads (delicate, flavorful, on a bed of vegetables). Nice ginger mocktail as well.
This culinary Mecca is on every “must eat” list for a reason. The menu was a bit confusing but the waiter proved that no menu was needed. He laid out a three course meal that catered to our cravings. Every bite proved to be heavenly bliss on the palate. Every step of the dining experience was perfection. The only regret you’ll have in not coming with a bigger appetite!
The espresso shots are incredible strong and sweet enough. I really enjoy the chocolate sorbetti and pane (not in picture) Highly recommend even for just drinks and dessert.
We ordered 6 dishes and each one was both unique and delicious. The only miss (and not a big one) was the dessert.
We had
1) peperú - soft cheese stuffed sweet&spicy peppers, grana padano, arugula oil - Delicious
2) prosciutto - thinly sliced parma prosciutto, lightly fried sage dough, stracciatella - Holy Moly!
3) funghi - crescenza, foraged pioppini mushrooms, extra virgin olive oil, italian parsley - This gets an OK, great flavor but it isn't foccacia as most of us know if and the thin dough didn't really hold up
4) casonzei - pork sausage & beef filled egg-pasta, brown butter, pancetta, sage, parmigiano - Really yummy
5) ossobuco - nebbiolo braised veal shanks, root vegetables-roasting jus reduction, polenta - Really good & savory, a tiny bit dry
The aforementioned dessert, the tiramasu was just Eh.
Updated - Sadly they have lost one of their great chefs. I don’t know how good it is now.
This is no ordinary Italian restaurant. I visited for dinner in a party of four and was treated to some of the finest Italian cuisine that I have ever experienced. You don’t see the usual Italian staple dishes on the menu here - Angelo and his great chefs are far too knowledgable and creative for that. What you can expect are dishes created with the utmost attention to detail resulting in sublime multi-layered flavouring and great presentation. The outstanding food combined with attentive waiting staff served in a warm and friendly atmosphere make this a great venue for all occasions.

We ordered several different pastas, but I recommend getting the Mandilli di seta (pesto pasta) one the most.
- Mandilli di seta (pesto): I know it just looks like a green blob and doesn’t look very appetizing, but it is a heavenly, thin pasta blanket doused in pesto sauce. I’ve never had this type of pasta before, but it was really good! It was super delicious, silky, and so saucy. Highly recommend as this is what they’re known for!
- Carsonzei (pork sausage and beef filled egg pasta): a yummy, Italian “dumpling”-like pasta. However, idk if it was because the pasta cooled so quickly or maybe it was because of the cheese, but after a few bites in, the pasta started tasting dry, but oily. Past the buttery, oily surface, everything else tasted dry.
- Modenesi (prosciutto filled egg pasta with truffle) I was most disappointed with this once because despite the price, it was my least favorite. The menu emphasizes that this pasta truffle butter AND summer black truffle, but there was no truffle scent or flavor. Also, because it was a prosciutto filled pasta, it was a bit too salty for my liking.
Service was a bit slow and our server was just so-so in friendliness. Parking is OK.
I had the casonzei pasta and it was, zero hyperbole, the best pasta dish I have ever had in my life. My waiter recommended a great wine to pair with it. I really liked the ambiance as well: low lighting and appropriate music. Also, the service was so incredibly warm, giving and glad to be there!!! I highly recommend dining here!!!
