Service is always excellent. My Husband loves the steak and cheese sandwich. The Gnocchi is incredible the best I have had. Their red sauce taste more earthy than most, but still decent. Cannoli is also delicious and the best I have had in the area. Bread and dipping oil is a must!!!!

I thought this place was...ok...not bad but not as good as I had hoped for. Salad came in a paper thing usually used for fried clams. The sauce and cheese on manicotti had almost no flavor and for a cheese lover, almost too much cheese...

This was some of the best Italian my husband and I have ever had. Their oil and bread to start with is evil good. I should have gotten a bottle of that oil to go. The gnocchi was the softest and pillowy I have ever eaten and the meatballs tasted homemade. My husband had the Stromboli and it was so unique from any other he has ever had. Their dining area is small but so worth coming to eat at.
Consistently good food, friendly staff. Great place for to-go or dine in. One of the best Italian sandwiches in town and THE best stromboli in town.

Nice small Italian restaurant. You order at the counter then they bring it to you at your table. Nice variety of food: appetizers, salads, pizza, subs, and entrees. Only 3 entrees are available before 5 pm but that still leaves a lot of choices. We started with the cheesy garlic bread which was very tasty. Two of us had side Caesar salads which were fine. Another person ordered the house salad and it came with yummy bread and a great dipping oil. For dinner we had cheese ravioli, large house salad, cold sub, and sauteed ravioli with caramelized onions. All were good and not the usual oversized Italian portions. Prices were reasonable for what we ordered and the server was attentive. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did.Kid-friendliness: Table by us had 4 small children and the family was happy with the choices.Wheelchair accessibility: Street level restaurant with a wide door.

I crave fav's; I dream about them. Definitely, one of the best pizzas in this country! Whomever, put the spring salad together today, Amazing! Only one bad experience in 11/2 yrs. when the tall, loud, bald headed guy made my pizza, Mike was on vacation, yuck! I love the Gnocchi; so hard to find home-made foods inspired by Love. Thank

Excellent food and friendly staff. Super pizza and $13 bottle of wine!
Despite its appealing appearance, the pizza left much to be desired in terms of flavor, with the toppings like green peppers and mushrooms barely making an impact due to their sparse use. While the Caesar salad managed to salvage the meal. The overall experience was marred by the downgrade from table service to ordering at the cash register. The use of paper plates only underscored the decline in the restaurant's standards, offering a stark reminder of the disappointing shift in quality.

Quant Italian ambiance in downtown Bradenton! Had an delish ( Delicioso ) Cesar Salad and an 16 in green pepper and mushroom pizza! (Would have liked a little more flavor on the pizza) Fav's has some family heritage photo's on the menu. Love it-brings you into eating Italian style!! You're able to sit outside, inside and a few table's available on the side in the attached building lobby. Service was nice and helpful.

If you want to have great food catered at your special event, Fav's is the perfect choice. We had a surprise party of 30 catered by Mike and his team at Fav's and the food was delicious! The lasagna, pizza, and ravioli were amazing! Everyone enjoyed it! Thanks Fav's for making our celebration more special!

Great steak sandwich on fresh focaccia bread. The chicken salad was nicely prepared as well. The service is attentive. Just be sure to order inside and they bring it. Nice outside seating on old Main Street
