Don't sleep on visiting Fava. The food here is amazing! We had a trio of spreads and the lamb empanadas and both were incredible. But the best part of our lunch were the cocktails. The Fava margarita is a delightful play on a Caribbean margarita and the spritzes were fabulous. The cucumber one is like springtime in a glass! I'd drive up from Philly just to eat here!

The food really amazed us and exceeded expectations!! My sister and I each ordered the chicken souvlaki platter. I ordered mine with the pistachio feta which was so delicious. My sister ordered hers with the avocado spread. She loved it. French fries are super fresh. The pistachio coppa was ordered for dessert which was also really visually appealing and tasty! Highly recommend giving Fava a try!

Rude as can be. No toilet tissue. No soap. Asked to move table 3 times to accommodate others. Loud music. Annoying owner...very rude.

FAVA Excellent food. Zucchini chips, Fritto Misto, Spanicopia. Tuscan Panini, chicken, steak were Outrageous. Our first time but not our last.

Adventurous drinks by Chrissy, consistently fresh and flavorful food, awesome service, modern setting and atmosphere. Prices are not cheap but generous portions are shareable and you get what you pay for here. Best restaurant on the island imo!

What happens when you add Italian vinaigrette to Greek salad? Visit this place to find out. Spoiler - you get a great salad. Good quality Greek - Italian - Spanish fusion food. We tried Grilled Octopus, Greek salad, Skirt Steak Skewers and Greek burger, everything was very tasty. Friendly service, good crowd of people having dinner and drinks. Nice bright interior, clean bathrooms. We are definitely coming back for an occasional Sunday dinner.Kid-friendliness: There is a kid menu section
Absolutely amazing!! Food, service and drinks all great. I have been waiting for a place like this to open. I recommend making reservations as it is not too big on the inside.

Very good food! The place is cute, friendly service and the portions are quite big too! The appetizers (Garlic & Oil spicy shrimp, spanakopita and fried calamari) were delicious! Entrees we got skirt steak in a pita which was a little disappointing because the meat was too well done for our taste. The ladies got two unbelievable Greek salad plates with grilled shrimp skewers seasoned to perfection! We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.
This spot is nearby to me, so I decided to check it out. We decided to start off with the shrimp ajillo as an appetizer. It was a little spicy and came with a side of pita bread to dip in the sauce the shrimp came with. It was delicious! For an entree, I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter, and my boyfriend ordered the chimichurri steak panini. The souvlaki platter portion size was definitely enough for two meals for me. It came with a side salad, a spread (I got the spicy feta which I highly recommend), and an option of Greek fries or grilled vegetables. I have celiac disease, so I went with the grilled vegetables option and they were very good (red peppers, zucchini, and eggplant). The waiter was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. I would definitely come back here again.

We came here for a friend's 50th bday and to our surprise, place was wonderful. Food was amazing and the service was great. We were pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, service and food was amazing. Loved the food, was top notch, by far the best food I've had in a long time. They even had a photo zone to take wonderful pics with the flower decor. It was such a quaint, small place, not too crowded and just a wonderful experience. To be honest, I was not expecting much since it was in S.I but we all had a fantastic time and food exceeded our expectation. We will most likely come back, prob more often if it wasn't for the $$$ Verrazano bridge. Props to our friend who randomly picked looking thru yelp. This is a must restaurant to go and enjoy fabulous food, service and experience.

5 STARS! I tried this place for the first time with my fiance for my birthday. We were very impressed! Our server Ruben was very friendly and attentive. I tried a Fig Martini, and it was surprisingly good. The Baked Feta is a must try as an appetizer. We also tried the Mediterranean Farro Salad, which was very refreshing. My Chimichuri Skirt Steak was cooked perfectly to my liking and was a good portion size. The roasted potatoes and broccoli on the side were also very good. Next time I'm trying the Seafood Paella Pasta dish. But my fiance's Sacchetinni was also very tasty! 5 stars!
Very nice restaurant with great food and service. Frankie was top notch and had great
