   This place is fantastic. Excellent service and consistently great food with ample portions. Calamari is the best around. Can’t wait to go back.

   Food was great. We've eaten here before. It was Easter Sunday. Our server was slow and seemed uninterested. Overall, just poor attention on the service side. Staff around us setting up tables for a large party and moving tables in general. Could things have not been set up prior to seating other guests? It was challenging to enjoy great food with poor service and furniture moves.

   Thank you for joining us on Easter Sunday and for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and have dined with us before, we’re truly sorry that the service and surrounding setup took away from your overall experience. Holidays are incredibly important to us, and we strive to make each guest feel valued and cared for—clearly, we missed the mark here. Your comments have been shared with our team, and we’re taking them seriously as we continue to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the experience you’ve come to expect from us. —Fava Management

   This was our second visit. We had a great time. Staff is excellent. Food and drinks were very good. I forgot my credit card in the bill folder and they had it for me when I called the next day. We will definitely be back again soon!

   As with all the other dishes I have enjoyed, the chef has mastered the proper temperature requested for a hamburger. The gently fried onions are crunchy and flavorful without burned edges. Delightful!

   Recently, the chef has been having trouble cooking hamburgers medium rare. He just prepares well done. Fortunately, the management is customer service oriented, so they gladly have the dish returned and prepared as requested. I suspect they will eventually teach the chef how to prepare the dish as requested.

Your feedback is truly valuable and has been shared with our culinary team as we continue working to ensure consistency and precision with every dish.

   It wasn't very crowded Monday night, so we could really enjoy Joe's piano music even though we were at the other end of the room. Service and food up to their usual excellent standards.

   This was my third visit here for lunch and, once again, the food is so delicious. This place is a gem, the prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. I live 35 minutes away and I don't know how many Italian restaurants I pass on the way but it is worth the trip
