My party ordered the chicken parmagiano, the linguini tutto mare, and the kid’s pizza. All three were terrible. The chicken was overcooked and tasted like a jar of oregano. The house salad that the chicken came with was limp and drenched in dressing. The linguini was also overcooked and mushy, and the added spice was too strong. The kid’s cheese pizza had watery sauce and no flavor at all. Even my kid, who loves all forms of pizza, refused to eat more than a couple bites of it. We regretted every cent we paid for the food.Our waiter was inattentive, but a different waiter came to check on us a few times, so at least some of the employees care.The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous, though. It had an intimate and quiet vibe. However, it is NOT kid-friendly like other reviews said. They do accept kids, and they have a kids menu, but all other patrons were quietly whispering, and would give side-eyes when my child spoke at a normal volume.Seriously though, if you want good Italian food, don’t go here. If you want mediocre Italian food, still don’t go here. Olive Garden is better, and I don’t say that lightly.

I have gone there so many times and it is 100% my favorite restaurant on the hill! it is owned by one of my friends family, and I think that the food there is worth the price and very delicious!Parking: It is a little bit hard to find a parking spot because there is no designated parking lot, you just have to park on the street if you could find a spot and then walk up to the restaurant.

Had made reservations for 7pm. When we arrived at 7 pm, we were told seating was about 25 minutes behind. Had to go elsewhere as we had a scheduled event that we had to be at. Very disappointing!!!

Here in St. Louis for a work conference and went as a large group for dinner. The meal was excellent. The lasagna was the best I have eaten followed by amazing Tiramisu and limoncello. Such great flavors and textures.

Favazza’s was a huge miss for our group. Had a reservation for a group of 20 on a Monday night our table was big enough to fit 16-18 comfortably. Had 20 chairs and place settings on the corners of a traditional 4 top table shoved against the wall so when you sat down there was no getting out at ease until dinner service was over. Had to pull chairs out and down to the end because you couldn’t fit a standard size American at the original configuration. One of the guests added an additional table and our server Brook became unhinged, screaming across the table at my guest that were trying to remedy the “problem” themselves. She was unable to recover from that moment. 20 people and one server wasn’t a ratio she could handle. She basically took our order and disappeared. Dropped food and disappeared then got 23% gratuity for splitting checks. Would never recommend this spot for a large group. Best part of the whole experience was the bread and the bus boy ensure water glasses were full and plates were cleared. If you’re considering a large group request more servers to save your group 30+ min to split checks.
