Honestly loved this place and would love to come back again. The service was fantastic and the waiter we had was terrific at helping us choose a wine to pair with our meal. Loved the roast eggplant appetizer. Also got to try a few of the main dishes - the agnolotti, the ragu, and the canelloni and they were all great. We didn't get to do dessert but the menu for it looked wonderful. Super cozy interior and the atmosphere creates a nice vibe for a cute date or a chill hangout with friends.

A lovely and memorable night! We planned a small wedding dinner with Faun and everything from start to finish was seamless — from planning the pre-fix menu and creatively working with my family’s dietary needs to the amazing and thoughtful service. The food was so good my family is still talking about it days later. The patio space was the perfect backdrop for our dinner and created a cozy and intimate atmosphere for my family to socialize ☺️ I only wish we took more photos of the food but you can’t go wrong with any dish!
A huge thank you again to the staff for making this a night to remember and I would highly recommend for anything from a date to a group dinner 💕

Delicious food and drinks.
Fish was a little underwhelming, but all the italian classics were unbeatable -- namely the aroncini and tortellini! The foccacia with whipped ricotta was excellent and the drinks were great too.

Super cozy, causal luxury, adorable patio. Seasonal menu. Street signage is understated — I knew we were in for a treat. Close to Barclays Center. Anchovy Toast, Agnolotti were spectacular!

Cannot give Faun enough stars!! My husband and I had our wedding and reception here in September and it was perfect. The food was incredible — multiple guests said it was the best food they'd ever eaten at a wedding and one even said it was the best meal they have had! The staff were incredibly attentive, accommodating, flexible and friendly. When a guest unexpectedly needed a dietary accommodation, the staff seamlessly made sure she had a special dish made. The backyard was absolutely stunning and the staff moved furniture multiple times to make the ceremony, dinner and dancing all happen without incident. I cannot recommend Faun enough — whether for a once in a lifetime event or just a weeknight dinner.

We went there for Saturday brunch with reservation. The restaurant was packed, and the garden was fully booked. The food came understandably slowly since the restaurant was busy, all of the dishes were delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits and the little gem salad with added blackened shrimp.

I went to Faun not knowing much and was delighted by the food and the ambience. Sitting outside next to the open street was very relaxing. The pasta and the appetizer were delicious, the fish was flaky (yum!). The pasta cotta was not as exciting to me. Service was fine, but not very attentive.

This is an absolute gem of local restaurant that my husband and I happily travel across NYC to visit. The pasta dishes are really some of the best we've had anywhere, and the kitchen does an outstanding job with both classic and more unusual/seasonal ingredients — we have come here on date-nights, we have come with friends and we have come with our kids and we have never been disappointed! We also love that the ambience is both relaxed and “hygge,” as well as sophisticated: the details including the lighting (so important) are very thoughtful throughout. The little back patio is lovely and intimate with lots of interesting plants and herbs — a magical little oasis. Just wish there were more places like this!

A beautiful dining experience! Everything was wonderful from the food & drinks, to the ambience and service. Won’t recommend any particular dishes because honestly everything we tried was delicious! They have a mix of semi-outdoor, indoor, bar, and patio seating and the ambience is perfect for an intimate dinner with friends or even a date night.

Great small restaurant right by Prospect Park. Would definitely go again. If you're thinking about trying the focaccia, do it! I recommend the pork shoulder ragu 👌 also shout out to the server who ran after us because we forgot a backpack there

We did our little wedding dinner at Faun about a week ago and I want to say thank you so so much! It was exactly what I imagined it to be with the very intimate and comfy atmosphere - inside and outside with their cute backyard. It was our first time there and we made the right choice. The staff was amazing! So kind and caring putting in so much effort to make it a special but warm evening for us. The food was excellent. We decided to do their prix fixe format and had plenty of leftovers to take home. All of our guests loved the food but were almost full after the second course. I cannot recommend Faun enough and we're definitely going to come back!

Came here for a date with my husband. The focaccia was amazing! We had two pasta plates. Mine was a bit too salty, but both really good. Great atmosphere and service. Good place for a quiet evening out!

The staff at Faun are so incredibly kind, warm, and professional. They make the experience one I continue to come back for again and again. The focaccia and ricotta starter is absolutely divine and the tagliolini neri pasta remains my go-to.

Faun is a cute little restaurant in Prospect Heights, with a nice interior decor and a lovely outside patio. The food is very good, and my highlight was the house focaccia. I don’t remember having eaten a better one ever, and the whipped ricotta and olive tapenade were just AMAZING. Another fun experience was the reasonably priced flight of amari, an after dinner digestive liqueur, which was very fun to try out (light drinkers beware!).

I enjoyed my dinner at Faun, the food was well presented and the black squid pasta I had tasted delightful. I would say though that they could have improved on the ambience, there was too many flies (it was summer) going in to the main dining area, I wish they could have done something about it because I was flapping my hands most of the time while eating.
However, besides that setback, their service was great!
