It has to be "They looked AT each other ...." The "at" is necessary. As for the rest, the "before" is redundant with "already," So just " ... as if they already knew each other" is fine, or " ... as if they had already met before," et cetera. But in speech, many people wouldn't notice the repetition.

@alikson They looked at each other as if they had already met/known each other before.
We use had met or had known because this action happened before another action in the past (it's called the Past Perfect tense), whereas "they looked at each other" is great in the simple past.
