" This place comes highly recommended, and now I know why! We enjoyed an exquisite dining experience at La Favorita. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, which was perfectly prepared and incredibly flavorful. The garlic bread was a delightful addition to the meal! The ambiance was charming, making it a great spot for dinner with friends. While the service was mostly attentive, we did have to ask for our drinks more than once, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, great food that I will recommend to everyone.

" We recently hosted a family reunion at La Favorita, and I must say, the food was spectacular! Everyone loved the variety offered on the menu, from pizzas to pasta dishes. The portions were generous, and the service was really attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was perfect for gathering, with a warm and friendly environment. Highly recommend this spot for any family event! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely dinner with friends! The ambiance was lovely, and the music had a fantastic Italian flair. We ordered a variety of dishes and could not have been happier with the selection and quality. The fettuccine Alfredo was rich and creamy, and the seafood risotto was full of flavor. The portions are more than adequate for sharing. The only downside was the slightly slow service, but the food made up for it! Surely, I will be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited La Favorita multiple times, and it’s consistently excellent! The pastas are always luscious and freshly made, reflecting the authenticity of Italian cuisine. I particularly love the pesto linguine, which is delectable with hints of garlic. The wait staff is friendly and genuinely seem to care about each table. I also appreciate the cozy decor that transports you right to Italy. I highly recommend it if you're craving authentic Italian food in Ottawa. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried La Favorita with friends, and I have to say, the experience was delightful! The atmosphere felt authentic with decor that echoed Italian traditions. The pastas we tried were cooked perfectly al dente and tasted homemade. The only downside was the slow service, likely because the restaurant was packed that night. Thankfully, the staff apologized and offered us complimentary drinks, which was a nice touch. The overall experience was enjoyable, and I would be keen to visit again, especially for their pizzas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the best lasagna I have ever had! It was rich and hearty while perfectly layered. The service at La Favorita was continuously helpful, ensuring our glasses were full. The atmosphere strikes a balance between casual and refined, perfect for both families and couples. I was seriously impressed with how fresh everything tasted, especially the salad. I will definitely come back for more and suggest trying their house red wine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My go-to spot for Italian food! La Favorita feels welcoming and the staff are always so friendly. I regularly order their veggie pizza, and it's hands down one of the best in Ottawa! The crust is perfectly crispy and the toppings fresh. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it ideal for a casual dinner. Keep up the great work, guys! " (*Curated Review*)
