Fava Ristorante Italiano

The food at La Fava is consistently wonderful. I have come back for the Cioppino multiple times ( I love that they make it with salmon and the seafood is perfectly cooked)! The lasagna was sensational this last visit.

There are two areas that I would really love for La Fava to grow in: one is the drinks. We love a good cocktail on our date nights and find the drinks pours to be really tiny and lacking. We took a risk and ordered a special cocktail last night and it came as basically a giant glass of ice. I would love to see more generous pours for their cocktails and wine. A full size martini that isn’t done in a few sips with three olives, a glass of wine that doesn’t scream barely call it a glass. I would love their drinks pours to carry the same generous and care that their meals do.

The second area is the potential wait time. One could wait extensively to be seated, drinks to arrive, and occasionally food to come.

The staff is warm and friendly and work so
Very hard. The food is consistently wonderful but wait times and really meager cocktails are areas that if improved could really set this restaurant on an even higher level for
sure. We would leave with a beaming 5 stars versus just wishing every time for these other areas to be better and match the standard of the food. Hoping that this review is helpful 😊

What a pleasure it was to dine here this evening! First time here and the service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! The place is clean, the atmosphere is wonderful with the piano in the background. I noticed one thing, and that was there was not salt and pepper shakers on the table, and there's a good reason, you dont need them! The food is fresh and flavorful. So happy with everything, I will be returning.

Fava never fails! The food, drinks, atmosphere, staff.. EVERYTHING is amazing here. Michael, our bartender made great drinks and was so friendly. Everyone is friendly here, the service is impeccable. Tonight we had the beef short ribs and the cappelini di mare which was amazing. The appetizer, dessert, and drinks were all delicious.

Drinks were delicious. Had the New York Sour and some kind of homemade sorbet drink. The mushrooms risotto with duck was fantastic. Highly recommend if it's on menu as a special. The bartender was very busy but super nice and hus recommendations are spot on.
I will get the banana foster next time. It looked amazing and the table presentation was fantastic.
Definitely a place you must try!!

Awesome food and equally awesome service (Jennifer). We were staying at a nearby hotel due to lax tournament and just stopped by and we were totally blown away. We had the Vongole, Pasta Special, and Filet as our main courses and they were all spectacular. To cap it off, we had the strawberry romanoff, which they prepare table side. They even have a piano player. In all, highly recommend!!!
