Factory51

Yes, Factory51 is a popular choice for date night thanks to its warm, brick‑walled setting, candlelit indoor/outdoor areas and a menu of Italian pizzas, pastas and standout dishes like truffle focaccia. Guests repeatedly praise the atmosphere as casual-but-classy and the service as friendly, making it well suited for a romantic evening. For a quieter table, consider booking mid-week or an early dinner, as weekends and Valentine’s nights can be busy.

Portions are generally described as satisfying but not oversized, guests mention generous focaccia and pizzas, while some smaller entrée portions (like a shared calamari plate) felt small. Many diners praise dishes such as gnocchi, pork and pizzas as well balanced; a few guests wished some mains were larger. If you’re sharing starters and pizzas, consider ordering an extra main or two if you have a big appetite.
