"Truly authentic Italian food"
Since I discovered Favoloso Café and Pizzeria every other "Italian" place in the city just doesn't measure up any more.
The food is fresh, simple, made from scratch and delicious, just about every reason authentic Italian food is renowned for.
I was born and raised in Italy and I am telling you folks it doesn't get more authentic then this.
I have gone to Favoloso for lunch with a big group of colleagues, by my self, took my family for dinner, ordered take out for a corporate event or just on a casual week-day evening.....no matter what the occasion I was never disappointed and walked out feeling amazing.
The place is modern, clean and inviting.
Giorgio the owner/chef goes above and beyond to make everyone feel special and welcome.
On my multiple visits I have tried a bit of everything:
- the pizza is simply the best you will have in the city
- the lasagna made from scratch, multipe times a week, is fantastic comfort food on a cold day
- the carpaccio paired with complimentary flat bread fresh off the oven is one of my lunch favourites
- tiramisu (again made fresh in the house) is to die for
- Pastas, coffes and salads are all delicious
Check out this special place I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!!!
Just had lunch here for the first time, and I'm excited to go back! I had a salad, which was light, fresh, and flavourful. Thankfully my friend ordered a pizza, and was kind enough to let me try a piece. WOW, the pizza is SO GOOD! Honestly the best pizza I've ever had. I'm new to authentic Italian pizza, and found it much lighter and more flavorful than the chain-store pizza we usually order. I don't think I'll be going back to chain-pizza after trying the real deal!
The service was attentive and friendly, and clearly Giorgio the owner and the staff aim to please and are eager to provide an authentic Italian food experience. I'm excited to go back with a group of friends so we can order an assortment of pizzas to share! And I hear that the lasagna is amazing!
This place makes fantastic pizza, some of the best I've had in Edmonton. Fresh ingredients, delicious combinations. The restaurant is clean and Giorgio is amazing. I've always taken pizzas out and eaten them with family and friends, with a bottle of wine or two. It's never disappointing.
