Four of us went for dinner with a reservation and we were seated right away. After cocktails, three of us ordered the special Dover Sole with Shrimp. The fish was very bland and a little tough. I think of this dish as one that you can cut with your fork. Not this time. The accompanying risotto was chewy, not creamy. Our waiter who was very nice and polite was the only server and he had to take care of the entire room. He was stretched too thin and could have been more attentive. Not his fault. The overall experience was that it was just so-so and I wouldn’t rush back.

Arturo, thank you again for exceptional Manhattans and excellent service! Chef, the arugula salad was fresh & delicious. The calamari was crispy and tender with the perfect notes of pickled peppers. The linguini and clam sauce was wonderful! Pasta was perfect Al dente in a luscious sauce, & the clams tender/fresh. The lobster ravioli special was unique, delicious and a perfect portion. We LOVED every bite! We look forward to our next visit to our next visit.

This is a great little place. The atmosphere is that of a fancy Italian restaurant, but the pricing is much more reasonable. The food is amazing, some of the best I’ve had recently. Their staff does a great job of making you feel like an important guest in their establishment. 10/10 would eat here again.

We had an incredible meal at this restaurant! The sea scallops were perfectly cooked and so flavorful. The penne al
a vodka was creamy and delicious, and the vongole was fresh with just the right amount of seasoning. The filet mignon was tender and juicy. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding—our server was so friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Update; met up with our close friends and had a few cocktails and dinner….outstanding! Great service great food.
Today was our wedding anniversary and we chose to give Favio’s a try. Well I must say we were not disappointed. Francesca our server was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.
We started with cocktails and wines, fried calamari with hot cherry peppers, pear salad, veal chop, pasta and cappuccino.
My only issue is the table we were seated at was to small for a dinner setting even for only 2 people. Also as a cappuccino aficionado it was the weakest part of my meal.
We agreed we would return and continue to try other items on the menu.

Place is legit, food was excellent, the atmosphere was excellent, the place was spotless clean, bathrooms completely spotless. We had a chicken Caesar salad and salmon an a salad, absolutely delicious. Had the Zucca for an app, very very good. Our waitress Adrianna was an absolute pleasure, service was top notch. It’s the first place in a Iong time that I liked as soon as I walked in. We will most definitely return.

First visit here. Reservations are definitely recommended. The atmosphere is small and cozy. Can definitely get a little loud. 3 of us were able to get a spot at the bar because we didn’t have reservations for a table. Service was ok, neither friendly nor unfriendly. Food was decent. Portion sizes seem fair for the price. Calamari app was mediocre to me, honestly. Pasta seemed fresh. Everyone thought their dishes were pretty good.

A+/Superlative marinara sauce. I also love the mashed potatoes. This is what I eat when I come here. The best marinara sauce I ever ate in my life. I love coming to Favio’s to eat, and I bring friends, refer customers. Delicious food, big portion size, and a value price

First time here and already planning on coming back!.
Everyone makes you feel welcome the second you walk in. We sat at the bar and had espresso martini w/ baileys, red sangria and dessert.
Everything was perfect and we don’t say that very often. The espresso martini with baileys was probably in my top 3 from all CT.
Our bartender was Jennifer and she was super friendly and fun to be around with.
We will be back!

I don’t write reviews often, but I was so overly impressed with my food that I had to share. My wife got the Rigatoni Al Forno and I got the Rigatoni E Burrata. Both were absolutely delicious, and I thought they were good portions for the price too.
There were so many amazing sounding things on the menu. I cannot wait to go back and try more.
