Fava Restaurant is a standout on Staten Island! The food was excellent—loved the garlic & oil spicy shrimp, spanakopita, chicken souvlaki, and quinoa salad (fresh, flavorful, and generous portions with perfect Mediterranean touches). Service was outstanding: friendly, attentive staff who made the experience welcoming. Atmosphere is nice—cute, modern, and relaxed, though not overly fancy. Great spot for sharing mezze or a full meal. Highly recommend this gem!

Very disappointed- arugula was mushy, wilted, drowning in dressing and with yellow leaves. Cost $25 for this with tomatoes and olive. No bread - no beans.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience and dinner here! The drinks were great we both got a mango margarita and he got the chimichurri steak I got the penne alla vodka. Amazing food and Nick was the best! We came all the way from Massachusetts and would gladly come again.

Came here with the family for the reviews and got the steak chimichurri and left hungry, it was a small portion with two potato's and two pieces of broccoli. I don't believe this was worth the price. Others at the table got burgers and wraps which were just okay. The fries and dessert were their only redeeming quality. The mezze platter was underwhelming and not family style, we were a party of 6 people and it was 2 pieces of pita per person. Overall left underwhelmed and still hungry for $400, in this economy not worth the price.

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!! I have been coming here for at least two years. Everyone that I bring here just loves it because the manager goes above and beyond to make sure that we’re all happy! I love coming here. I wish she could open her own place cuz she is a diamond! The food is excellent, and the service is the best. That’s why I keep coming. 💯💯💯

We visited the restaurant around 5 p.m. and found it completely empty. We ordered calamari, octopus, pappardelle, and the steak pita. The calamari and octopus were excellent and easily the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the pappardelle was disappointing — it wasn’t actually pappardelle with ragu as listed on the menu, but rather plain fettuccine bolognese with a spoonful of ricotta on top. The steak pita was also underwhelming; the meat was very dry despite the waitress asking how we’d like it cooked. The pita itself was stuffed with fries, and fries were also offered as a side, which felt redundant.
What really stood out was the lack of options: on a Saturday evening, they had run out of beer and almost all desserts, with only two remaining. Considering the prices, the quality of the food and the overall experience didn’t meet our expectations .
I had a really nice lunch here with my wife. She ordered the grilled chicken kabob with a salad, and I had the Greek chicken wrap with Greek fries. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was also excellent, Cristy took great care of us and made the experience even better. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

Rayne truly made our visit to Fava unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that set a positive tone for the evening. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered great recommendations that really enhanced our meal.
What stood out the most was her attention to detail—she made sure our drinks were always filled and checked in just the right amount to ensure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. The food came out incredibly fast, and she took the time to explain each dish, which added a personal touch to our dining experience.
Her dedication to providing exceptional service was evident; it felt like she truly cared about making our evening special. If you visit Fava, definitely ask for Rayne—she exemplifies what great service should be!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at FAVA, and it was a fantastic experience overall. I ordered the lamb chops, and they were excellent—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve.
The interior of the restaurant is really well done—modern, stylish, and inviting. It has a great atmosphere, although when we visited, it was completely empty, which made us feel a little out of place at first. That said, the quiet setting made for a peaceful and intimate meal.
Service was also top-notch. Attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish.
Great food, great service, and a beautiful space—I’d definitely recommend FAVA to anyone looking for a quality dining experience.
