    Dinner Salad
    Steven J.

    Favazza's is a well-known and respected Italian spot on "The Hill", St. Louis' Italian Neighborhood filled with old delis, charming markets and upscale Italian restaurants. Our extended family is a big fan of Favazza's, so we go from time to time with them. We went last week with my Aunt & Uncle, and it was great. The dining room(s) are charming, but getting a bit dated, in all honesty. Since it's on "The Hill", it's not necessarily an issue, but in any other neighborhood, I think others would agree with me that it needs some sprucing up. Regardless, the ambiance has a fancy and classy feel to it. The service we had was fine. Everyone is dressed up and respectful, but sometimes the service lacks personality at these places because they're so worried about being "ritzy". This is the case we had last week. Regardless, also a fine experience in this category. The food was DELICIOUS last week. We started with the Toasted Ravioli. You can tell it's the real-deal -- the filling is excellent. Our entrees were also phenomenal. I got the Chicken Limone and it was tangy and luscious. Genuinely one of the best Italian dishes I've had before. The dinner salads, side pasta and phenomenal garlic bread were an added bonus. Favazza's may be older and their service may lack personality, but their food is nothing to scoff at. A very solid 4 Stars from me.

    Chicken Marsala
    J.P. W.

    Stopped in here for lunch with the team during a work trip. They were very complimentary of this place, so I was looking forward to the experience. We sat outside in the patio area, which in mid April can be a good thing or a bad thing in St. Louis. For us it was a very good thing, the outside is very comfortable and the server was very attentive. My main dish was the chicken marsala. It was very good and prepared well, but the flavor wasn't quite as strong as I've encountered back east in Italian restaurants in New York or Boston. This is not a bad thing, it was just different, and I enjoyed the dish very much. The side of pasta was very good as well. Everyone at the table was very content with their meal and I was too. I'd definitely stop back the next time I'm in town.

    My team is back in Saint Louis for our quarterly meetup and planning sessions and my reputation as a Yelper has gotten around. My manager asked me to choose where we would go for dinner. He specified Italian on The Hill, able to seat a party of 14 and not terribly expensive. Easy enough. I selected Favazza's as it met that need and also, because they're open on Tuesday nights. So many others on The Hill are not. I read through the menu, checked prices and settled on this one. Our group arrived on time to a mostly empty restaurant where our big table was set up in the furthest back dining room. A few other parties were wrapping up their meals and after a bit, we had the space to ourselves. First off, our waitress Kelly was awesome. A friendly and experienced veteran, she rolled with the questions, with the "actually, I want something else" order changes and did a fabulous job of ensuring that drinks were refilled, dinners came out as ordered and everything ran smoothly. Calamari, cheese garlic bread and artichoke hearts to start and that's on top of the baskets of regular bread that arrived. My side salad was great and fresh other than two lettuce cores I set to the side. For main, I chose the Chicken Limone and it was heavenly with mushrooms and a great sauce. The imported pinor noir I enjoyed with it was also fantastic. To summarize, nothing but five stars for the food, for the location and for the service. Favazza's on the Hill was a great choice, not only because of all of that but I got the credit from my leader for choosing it! [Review 356 of 2026 - 491 in Missouri - 25542 overall]

    I think my new favorite snack is going to be toasted raviolis this summer and that's only if I can get them from Favazza's! This place is classic classic CLASSIC Italian fare. We arrived on a busy Friday night with no reso. They gave us a 30 minute wait time which we decided to sit through at the bar. The bartender was "adrenaline rush" busy but he stayed present and checked in on us regularly. The place was seriously slammed! We were seated in a back dining area. It was full and noisy but kinda felt like I was at a family party. Decor in the bar and main dining room was traditional. We loved the brass elephant heads at the bar. They have an outdoor patio area which also looks adorbs! Highly recommend this place for great old school Italian food and vibes!

    Baked Mostiaccioli
    David C.

    Every year, my wife and I seek out a new spot for a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day and what better place to celebrate than the Hill? Favazza's has a well-established reputation in STL and the food to back it up. We arrived just before 6 pm to meet our reservation. Despite an understandably busy evening, we were seated and ordering drinks within just a few minutes. Walking through the spacious dining room lets you soak in the elegant, cozy atmosphere. Paired with the soundtrack of traditional Italian music played at a comfortably low volume, it's an excellent venue for conversation between each bite. The service slowed down about halfway through our visit, but it's to be expected (especially when Valentine's Day lands on a Saturday). Our server was friendly, answered a few questions about the menu, and we were easily held over by (what was probably too much) complimentary bread before the main course. To start, we tried the fried cheese with marinara: as rich as we'd hoped, rivaling one of our favorite Rich & Charlie's appetizers. After some internal debate, I chose the Steak Mudega (medium rare) while my wife went for the Baked Mostiaccioli. We also shared the two sides served for my entree - Caesar Salad and twice baked potato. So many wonderful textures and flavors, filling in the moment, and solid as leftovers. I especially enjoyed the mushroom and wine sauce that topped my filet, to say nothing of the steak itself. Dessert sounded amazing, but we couldn't eat another bite. We'll have to give it a try next time. Favazza's is worth a visit, and we're glad we finally did.

    Cavatelli Con broccoli
    Jessica S.

    Very good. We ordered toasted ravioli, tortellini pasta and con broccoli past The toasted ravioli was cooked to perfection. Both pastas were rich but very good and definitely very filling with large portion of pastas. The bread was delicious.

    Linguine Tuttomare
    Jenelle B.

    We were seated in the "garage", a large room with multiple garage doors that turn the space into open air patio during the summer. In late November however, the room has a lovely wood burning fireplace which sets a peaceful atmosphere. The complementary bread was generously buttered and garlic-ed. We started with toasted ravioli which filled with a delicious meat filling. The small house salad was plenty to share between two and had generous salami toppings. I had the baked pasta with eggplant Parmesan. The serving was HUGE and served piping hot. My dining partner had the tutto mari which also was a larger serving. Both dishes were incredibly rich and saucy. Traditional Italian fare.

    Spumoni
    Gracie L.

    I swear I could write an entire 5-star review on just their spumoni. I'm not embarassed to admit that my partner and I have visited Favazza's on several occasions for the sole purpose of getting a dish of spumoni and nothing else! While the spumoni is probably my favorite part, there's lots of other things to love about Favazza's, too. I've been coming here with my dad for years, and it's one of our go-to's for good ole classic, reliable Italian food. The inside of the restaurant is huge. Lots of seating options, including a covered patio area and spaces that you can rent out for larger groups. I most recently visited during lunch with a group of seven to celebrate my college graduation. Our server took such good care of us. She was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We were even more impressed by her ability to recite the lengthy and detailed specials for the day with no hesitation! My group started with an order of their famous garlic cheese bread and some toasted ravs. Both were excellent. I also had a caesar salad, and it was HUGE and delicious. I probably would've been fine sharing the salad with my partner because it was a lot of food! Whether I'm eating here for lunch or dinner, I am very loyal to the penne primavera, which includes olive oil, garlic, tomato with fresh vegetables and basil. Very light and flavorful, and I always get to take home leftovers! Now back to the spumoni... no matter how full you feel by your meal, you MUST find a little room for this ice cream! It's homemade AND I heard you can buy it by the pint if you want to take some home :)

    Wow what a place. Deep rooted history in St.Louis Italian neighborhood known as "The Hill". Fresh authentic Italian food served by the best locals who know their history. If you didn't know any better you'd think you're in Italy with their ambiance. Super friendly and near perfect staff gave us the best service.

    Espresso Martini
    Steve D.

    Ok first time in a long time for no other reason than there are so many choices when it comes to The Hill. However we were so happy how fantastic dinner was and what a great experience before a fun show downtown. The food the drink the service was all excellent and we definitely will be back sooner than later

    Crispy artichokes

    I'll be honest--I do NOT understand any of the low star reviews. We almost didn't come because of that but I'm so glad we made the trek from Illinois to check this place out before we headed to our Muny show last night! Michael was our server--he was the best we have had anywhere in a very long time. So personable, anticipated our needs, and was incredibly friendly and provided top notch service all around! The food--it was all EXCEPTIONAL! You can tell the ownership and cooks take a lot of pride in this place--it shows! It all came out hot--we had the toasted raviolis and crispy artichokes for an appetizer, salad, margarita pizza, pastas, and the steak special. Steak was cooked perfectly, pizza was so fresh and homemade, and the pasta was to die for. Everything tasted super fresh and made from scratch! Regretted not trying dessert but we were stuffed and heading to a show--definitely getting some next time! Had the espresso martinis and wine as well--the drinks were great! Super fast service and hot food with amazing hospitality.. it was worth every penny and we will DEFINITELY be back soon!! Even checked out the bathrooms because I always say it says a lot about a restaurant and they were very clean and well-stocked! Would be great if they'd open another restaurant in Illinois in the O'Fallon area--we simply just don't have restaurants this wonderful over on our side of the river. Thank you, Michael, and the team for an amazing experience! Didn't take enough pics but here are a few! Full five stars from us!!! Oh and our teen daughter said the Diet Coke was super crispy and delicious too LOL!

    Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and no mushrooms
    Ed S.

    Our visit to Favazza's on The Hill in the STL was fantastic! We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a day after because that's when the amateurs aren't out crowding the restaurants. We had reservations and got right in without any wait. We were able to split a big and delicious Caesar salad. The pasta dishes that were so tasty! I don't like mushrooms and I was able to get mine without. There was so much food we had lunch for the next day. Any restaurant on the hill gives you that small Italian neighborhood experience. The atmosphere and decor is on point. It was our first time here and we will definitely come back!

Because our guests had a lot of food issues - gluten, nut and dairy it was a real challenge! Stephanie carefully curated a menu that hit all of our requirements. In addition, because we live out of town for most of the year, our decorations, holiday plates and whatnot were quite limited. Stephanie put my fears to rest by assuring me she'd take care of all the details. As the day of the party dawned, we had the place all cleaned up and ready. Stephanie and Mary arrived about an hour before the guests and set to work transforming our little place into a festive, inviting party spot. We had holiday cocktails and mocktails, delicious heavy appetizers and desserts that were out of this world. Stephanie literally thought of everything. All the food was labeled so our guests could choose foods that were best for their food sensitivities. At the end of the party they gathered everything up, helped set aside uneaten food for later consumption and left with very little for us to other than sweep the floor and fall into bed after a very fun and satisfying gathering of friends.
