On a chilly November Saturday, I made the trek across the river to have brunch at Faccia a Faccia, a “new coastal Italian restaurant from award-winning chefs and restaurateurs Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonnette,” according to their website. Oringer and Bisssonnette are also the masterminds behind other Boston classics, such as Coppa, Toro, and Little Donkey.
As Faccia a Faccia recently opened for lunch with a brunch-inspired menu, I was invited for a complimentary visit to the restaurant to sample their latest items. The brunch menu includes classics like breakfast sandwiches and fruit plates, along with more unique items like a cacio e pepe scramble.
