    If you’re looking for a lovely place to enjoy delicious handmade pasta, just like in Italy, this is the perfect spot! 🇮🇹❤️ We had the Ragù Napoletano, and OMG… I wanted to lick the plate at the end!!! 😂 Absolutely delicious! The service was so friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was fantastic, and we even ended up having a laugh with the lovely people at the table next to us! Thank you, Favola team! It was such a pleasure dining with you. You’ll definitely see us again soon! 🍝💕
