  “The food was nice and reasonably priced, the starters were big and the mains were also a good size. Great value for money but the service was very slow was the only downside.”

  “I have been going to La Favorita since 2011. Always been a very classic and cozy restaurant that has kept its quality and and quantity steady and good. They are the reason I first explored pasta and now love eating it. I forget to take photos as I jump to eat whatever I order however thanks to my husband Harry I have the prawn starter photo and it's tastes fresh and delicious. I always order various prawn based pastas which are impeccable and Harry has tried roast chicken and steak (medium rare which i have been told is hard to get it right) and along with sides like seasonal veggies and French fries. All have been on point. And customer service has been great and very gentlemanly... which I like the old school charm of the restaurant along with very Italian music too. All in all I go there whenever I crave Italian food. Spend quality time to celebrate occasions with close family and friends. Recommended.”

  “I wish I saw the review of the steak before I ordered. Like the previous review, I asked for a medium and it came well done, it was tough and rough. The steak came to the table swimming in butter. Service wise, I gave it a 3 because the waiter obviously saw how much of the steak was left but did ask if the meal was ok. I appreciated he acknowledged my disappointment and still came with the bill with a smile. There was clearly no point asking and there’s no point having to tell either. The one star was for the chips which was nice. For £35 I’m not going to lose sleep over, it might be nice to someone who likes well done steak. Atmosphere was ok. It was a quiet night.”

  “We enjoyed a very pleasant meal here. The staff were friendly and the restaurant felt intimate and cosy in its decor. We all very much enjoyed our meals, the pasta was creamy and warming and the pizza had a crispy crust and was topped generously with peppers and goats cheese. I felt that the portion size for my pasta was a little small (although perhaps I’m just greedy as my friends were perfectly satisfied with theirs), the pizza was good however, less cheese would have been preferred as it was very thick and a little over-powering.”

  “I had the linguine marinara, pasta with sun dried tomatoes, king prawns and mussels, in a rich tomato sauce and my husband got the penne arrabbiata. The seafood in the linguine was nice and a good amount of it, though i did have to add some salt to my own personal taste as it was slightly bland for me but the optional cheese on top really brought out the flavours, i was also offered black pepper but said no so maybe that would have made it even better for me. Next time ill do that. The portion size was good and the bread was delicious. 👌🏾 The penne arrabbiata was very nice and had a lovely amount of spice and flavour to it. The resturant was quiet at around 5:30 when we came, but the waiter was very welcoming and attentive The price was reasonable and we both enjoyed the meal. Would return!”

  “Very authentic Italian food. Cosy place and very nice staff. Generous portion sizes. Definitely recommend. Dessert was flambeaux'd at the table which was a nice touch. Worth the money. Definitely will be back.”

  “We always have our dinner here for special occasions. Love their menu specifically their lobsters menu and Taglionni. Friendly waiters. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. I recently came back here to have dinner with my mate still have the best dishes in town. I also recommended this to work colleagues and they have had great birthday celebrations here.”
