" First visit to Favazza's last week and I was impressed. The moment I stepped in, the atmosphere felt warm and cozy. The servers welcomed us with smiles, making us feel at home. I opted for the eggplant parmesan and my partner chose the steak mudega. Both dishes were great, though I wished mine had a bit more seasoning. Portion sizes were generous, leaving us with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. We also tried the famous tiramisu for dessert, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I plan to come back soon to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried a lot of Italian restaurants, but Favazza’s stands out as one of the best on The Hill. The décor oozes old-world charm with its cozy nooks and inviting atmosphere. I tried the vegetarian lasagna, and it was layered with rich flavors and melted cheese that left me raving about it for days. The portion sizes are generous—I had leftovers that I enjoyed the next day. The waitstaff was attentive and charming without being intrusive. I could feel their pride in the food they were serving. Wonderful spot for any pasta lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful Italian restaurant with authentic decor that sets a festive atmosphere. My recent visit was delightful! I enjoyed the mostaccioli, which was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. However, my partner felt that their chicken piccata was on the saltier side. While the portion sizes are quite generous, it’s a shame about the slight inconsistency in flavor. The dessert menu is extensive—do try the cannoli! Overall, a nice experience with the potential for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Favazza's based on a recommendation and was eager to try their well-known dishes. The space was beautifully decorated, providing an enjoyable dining experience. However, the food did not quite meet my expectations. I ordered the spaghetti marinara, which was good, but nothing that blew me away. The garlic bread, on the other hand, was fantastic! I felt the service could be more prompt, as we waited quite a while for our entrees. Overall, it’s a solid choice, but I might explore other options next time. It felt busy, but the staff rushed through things and we needed to request help a few times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough about Favazza's! From the moment we walked in, the charming decor and amiable staff set a welcoming tone. The lasagna was out of this world; it was juicy, layered perfectly, and tasted like it had just come out of a grandmother's kitchen. We also ordered the garlic bread, which was light, crispy, and combined with the rich homemade marinara, it made the perfect appetizer. The servers were attentive but not overbearing, making our dining experience smooth. I truly felt as if I had been transported to Italy while dining here. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Italian food on The Hill! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our experience at Favazza's! The food was phenomenal and full of flavor. I highly recommend the chicken marsala—the sauce was rich and savory, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The ambiance contributed to a lovely evening; quaint yet lively. Reservation is a must, as it gets quite busy, but the wait is well worth it. The staff was attentive; they even noticed it was my friend’s birthday and surprised us with a complimentary dessert! How sweet! Will definitely be back for more delicious Italian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I rarely give perfect scores, but after my meal at Favazza's, I couldn't help but do so! The flavors in the dishes were authentic and reminiscent of my travels to Italy. The seafood platter was fresh and beautifully presented, while the pasta was cooked to perfection. Service was impeccable; our server anticipated our needs and cared about our experience. The outdoor seating is delightful, providing a charming space to enjoy the meal and people-watch. I can't wait to recommend this delightful gem to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)
