Fox 45 visited Facci Baltimore to talk about our Wine Spectator Best Restaurants of 2025 recognition and get the inside scoop of our Italian Summer Promotion. Watch the clip here!
Facci Ristorante has been recognized for its exceptional wine program on Wine Spectator magazine’s just-released list of the Best Restaurants of 2025.
This is not the first prominent recognition this year for Facci. In April, Palma was invited to the Italian embassy in Washington, D.C. where Facci was the very first Maryland restaurant to be honored with a coveted “Due Forchette” (Two Forks) status from Gambero Rosso on its 2025 list of Best Italian Restaurants (previously only one Maryland restaurant has earned a single fork honor).

Gino Palma-Esposito is the chef at this comfortably stylish bistro, which became an instant hit by hitting all the right notes. It’s chic but accessible, and seems to know that kids don’t need to be babied with crayons and chicken fingers, which is why they love it.
A Little Italy
Italian food may be the current “it” cuisine, but that doesn’t mean there are a lot of great dishes commanding our attention. Facci, a new restaurant and wine bar in Laurel (7530 Montpelier Rd.; (301) 604-5555) that specializes in wood-fired pizzas, is a notable exception-though not for its pies. Seven bucks ($6.50 during happy hour, from 3 to 6) buys a heaping pile of the tenderest, most flavorful meatballs we’ve had in years, its generous blanket of zesty marinara all but spilling over the sides of a two-handled silver crock. You may want seconds.
