A St. Louis Tradition Since 1978
Favazza's Restaurant has been proudly serving generations of St. Louis families and visitors from our corner of Marconi and Southwest in the city's historic Hill neighborhood. What started as a family dream in 1978 has grown into one of the most beloved Italian dining destinations in the city.
Founded by Vito Favazza, his wife Ellen, and their son Tony, Favazza's was built on the values of family, tradition, and genuine hospitality. Today, Tony and his brother John continue to carry that legacy forward—welcoming guests with the same warmth and generosity that have defined our restaurant for over 45 years.
Our menu reflects the best of old-world Italian cooking, featuring classic recipes passed down through generations. From house-made pastas to wood-fired specialties, every dish is prepared with care and served with pride.
Located in the heart of The Hill, Favazza's is more than just a place to eat, it's a part of the neighborhood's rich Italian-American heritage. With seating for over 300 guests, a beautiful patio with a fireplace, and a variety of private dining options, we're proud to host everything from weeknight dinners to milestone celebrations.
