Introducing FAVA for your next tasting! Few things are more rewarding than crossing the finish line of the Broad Street Run—the energy, the camaraderie, the sheer joy of accomplishment. After pushing through every mile, there was no better way to refuel and celebrate than indulging in an exceptional brunch experience at FAVA.

The staff greeted us like family, ensuring that from the very first moment, we felt at ease and appreciated. Hospitality is at the heart of FAVA, making every guest feel valued and welcomed.
A Love for Italian Cuisine & Flavors that Deliver
As an Italian food enthusiast, I couldn’t wait to dive into the menu. Every dish felt like a personal reward—an ode to the tradition and flavors that make Italian cuisine one of my favorites.
- Linguini Clams & Mussels – Briny freshness perfectly balanced with delicate seasonings.
- Eggplant Parmigiana – Rich, layered, and bursting with tangy marinara and melted cheese.
- Smoked Salmon – Silky and smoky, a wonderful addition to the brunch spread.
- Frittura Mista – A golden-fried medley of seafood that was light yet incredibly satisfying.
- Cannoli-Stuffed French Toast – A decadent creation that merged classic cannoli filling with pillowy French toast.
- Meatballs al Forno – Sizzling, hearty, and everything comforting about Italian food.
Sipping & Toasting to the Day
No brunch celebration is complete without the perfect drink. I raised my glass of Rosé, enjoying its crisp, refreshing notes. The Tramonto Viola, a beautifully balanced cocktail, added a sophisticated finish to the meal.
If you’re looking for a weekend brunch elevated to the next level, FAVA offers bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and bloody marys, making indulgence an art form.
Food for the Soul: The Joy of Sharing a Meal
One of the best things about dining out? Sharing the experience with a friend. Meals aren’t just about nourishment—they’re about connection. Sitting across from Amanda, unwinding after a physically demanding but exhilarating race, and savoring incredible food reminded me of how much joy comes from these moments.
