La Fava of Glen Mills

Food was excellent and by far the best Mediterranean and Italian fusion cuisine I’ve had in a while

I drive by this place all the time and am glad I finally tried it. It was delicious. The food is of excellent quality and not too heavy. They don't have a discreet kids menu, but can whip up whatever pasta dish is needed in a kid friendly portion. My picky toddler loved the bolognese. The service was really good as well. They have nice outdoor bubble seating, which is great, but has to be reserved ahead of time. Will return.

Abience very comfortable. Owner friendly and appreciative of our business. Manager who helped select wine a nice touch. Enjoyed our meals. Not sure the pasta was homemade ... but overall nice evening out. Suggest a group of 6-8 and request outdoor pod.

Fabulous! We love it there!

Everything was great. Drinks was good and strong. I had the mushroom bruschetta which was good. My friend had the burrata and she enjoyed it.. We ordered the specials for our entrees. The Dover sole was delicious but the Chilean Sea Bass stole the show! It was the best thing I have eaten in a long while. We plan to return to try other items on the menu.

Just tried out the brunch with a friend. We thoroughly enjoyed the bottomless mimosas, our server was friendly, and our meal overall was terrific.

It was our daughters 21st birthday. Wonderful food and service. Thank you.

Overpriced!!!!!!! Service was slow mushroom app had no flavor meat board 3 slices cut in half and rolled, but the Burrata was delish. Pasta had to be sent back to heat.

Food was good. Servers were friendly. The wait for our entrees was ridiculous. Would give it another try. This time in the outside igloos.

This was our second visit - outside during the summer. We loved our first but were disappointed this time. Service was not attentive. We were never told about the dessert special we saw (afterwards) being served at other tables. Entrees meh, not up to the prices charged. Ambiance inside in banquet room (?) underwhelming, brightly lit, and loud. Unlikely we will be back ~

Great food, good service and nice wine!

We enjoyed our dinner at LaFava. Our server was very outgoing and fun, food was delicious (I had the halibut special with succotash, nom nom). My only complaints would be the beer list is very small and the place got very busy and it took forever to get our check because our waitress was so busy but overall a very nice place to go.

we loved it!

La fava is one of our “Go-to” restaurants. We have routinely dined here through their last 4 reincarnations. Each former iteration was good and seemed successful but the first three just didn’t make it. Perhaps it is the location and accessibility. We are hoping that this one is successful, By all indications, it seems to be doing well. We were on time and the hostess referred to her chart and decided on a table after a show of indecision. We were seated at a High-top, across from the bar. Acceptable, but not preferable. Our waiter, Tyler, promptly greeted us and went to obtain the appropriate tableware. In the meantime, a manager stopped by and asked if our waiter had visited us yet. He seemed anxious that no one would be neglected, as he was stopping at a number of tables. We placed our wine order and enjoyed that with sparkling water and the warm bread and Fava-based dip provided. My wife started with the Char-grilled Spanish Octopus Appetizer while I sampled the French Onion Soup. Both were very good and served appropriately hot. Our entrees consisted of the Tuscan Seafood Stew (our favorite dish here) for my wife, while I couldn’t resist trying the Bison Bolognese special. Our entrees were delicious. The Bison special was different enough to be intriguing and I was glad I tried it. We ended with Limoncello and Cappuccino. La Fava continues to offer very tasty and somewhat different dishes than most area restaurants and we have not been disappointed is anything we have tried here.

Waitstaff we're very hospitable and friendly. The recommended dish was a great choice

Totally enjoyed it. Not our first time there.

Terrific night out. Eight hungry adults all pleased with their meals. Service was great. Food delicious.

The restaurant was shockingly full despite covid restrictions and we waited 30 minutes from the time we finished our appetizers until the entree was served. The food was ok but definitely not worth a $250 tab.

I did not see the value in their bruch menu. Additionally, they charged $30.00 for 2 orders of scrambled eggs. Felt like a rip off ( $15.00 per order. 2 eggs each, no sides, no toast, no breakfast potatoes. Literally just scrambled eggs). The waitress was very attentive and gave good service. Nice atmosphere. Not worth the money for brunch.

Great food and service.

We had a wonderful time! The food and experience were amazing

Second time at La Fava. Once again everything was delicious. Baked Fusilli and Meatballs sounds basic, but it was superb. Lobster ravioli was scrumptious and even the 11 year old enjoyed the pasta carbonara. Will definitely go back.

Great food and service . We will definitely go back .

Food was great and our server was so nice to the kids.

Made a reservation at 2pm for the pods. Arrived and the host was rude and cursing at the computer saying we wouldn’t be able to sit in the pods because it was too close to dinner seating (even though I made a reservation and was not told this). They were able to “squeeze us in”. Server was nice but very slow. Had to pay for water. Food was very mediocre. I won’t be going back

I ordered fish and received a very small portion filled with bones. Our entire party was disappointed w the portion sizes of their meals. We dined inside and it was not Covid friendly. The outside looked much more compliant. Unusual menu with good options.

Excellent food and exceptional service under very trying circumstances. Mike is always a perfect host. Kudos to all the back of the house and front of the house staff.

Good food, nice wine selection. Service was a little slow and forgetful at times

We enjoying most of our first dining experience at La Fava, the food, drink & service were exceptional. The only distraction was the location of the table we were seated at. The guests at the table next to us (definitely less then 6 feet away) were very loud as was their server. We were seated in front on the hostess desk, near the bar and the front door. Upon exiting we walked through another dining room that was much quieter and would have preferred a table in this location. This was our Anniversary and Valentine’s Day special dinner and it was not as quiet & romantic as expected. In the future I would ask for a table in the quieter dining area or perhaps one of their private outdoor dining bubbles!

Great!! Love the Food. Very fresh and Tasty

My husband were able to get a same day reservation for Valentines Day so we’re super excited about that! We sat at the bar and there was plenty of social distancing to make us feel safe. The place has great ambience and we plan to go back to try one of the outdoor “bubbles” for seating (extra $25 and reservation required). The staff and service was top notch and overall we enjoyed our evening. There were a couple issue with the food that caused me to rate it lower. My husband had the pork chop and unfortunately it was a little overdone and a bit tough. My husband didn’t say anything until the ride home and ate his whole dish but it could’ve been a bit better. The real problem I have, is paying $25 for a bowl of pappardelle with bison bolognese where the bolognese had very little meat in it. If I had to guess, there was less than an ounce of meat in the bowl so seems a bit steep considering it doesn’t come with a salad or anything else. The flavor was really good and the pasta seemed homemade but a little over cooked (not al dente). We will go back to try again but maybe make different choices for a meal. Overall we had 4 glasses of wine, a signature cocktail, pasta bison bolognese, crab cocktail appetizer, pork chop, and cheesecake and the bill with tip was $207.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner. We have food allergies and found everyone accommodating and felt we had options to choose from. The food was great. My only critique was the meal took a bit long to be served.

Valentines Day

The food and service were excellent. We will definitely return.

Excellent! We went for a Brunch- had bottomless Mimosas and Bloody’s! Food and service amazing- going back again - this time for dinner.

Went for a night out with my wife before Valentine’s. The service was quick and the food was fantastic! The bananas foster for dessert was delish! This is a must visit :)

Lovely Valentine’s date night! Dinner was delicious and the blood orange margarita was just perfect! The staff works so hard!

Food was barely cook and did not taste good. Waiter was rushing us through the meal and again the food was terrible.

Great service!

A grown up dining experience right her in Delco! Real waiters, real hosts and bar teams - you can expect professional service, attention to detail and a thoroughly delightful dining experience. Order across the menu you will not be disappointed. We take tremendous joy in sharing our favorite local dining destinations with friends who haven't had the opportunity to experience La Fava and they all come away with the same reaction - top notch!
