10/10Authentic Italian food and reasonable prices. Wonderful ambiance of a small family run business. It's not the largest restaurant, but not cramped either. We had the boar ragu with papardele and the truffles risotto. Both were incredible. The risotto was al dente and creamy with an abundance of shaved truffles. The boar ragu was with some vegetables and was delicate, tender and light. The sauce and pasta blended seamlessly. Overall a splendid menu with a great wine selection as well. Enjoy!

10/10Refined Italian food, warm welcome, excellent service, cosy and romantic setting. Pricey but fresh ingredients and authentic touch justify the prices. Go for the house specialities rather than the dishes you can find in any other Italian restaurant (example: burrata). The tiramisu is among the best in the world (and I’ve tasted quite a few!) .

9/10Excellent food and very nice service. Though believe it is better to sit in 1st rather than ground floor.

7.5/10Starters were great, especially the grilled polenta and the buffala, however the main courses were average quality and extremely overpriced for that quality.

9/10Had not been to La Favola for about 15 years and found it again at the suggestion of a friend. Very “ sympathique” atmosphere in this small restaurant located in a charming street in the old city. Very decent, reasonably priced italian dishes . Excellent alternative to the louder, showier Italian restaurants in town .

8/10Given the excellent reviews, I expected better. However, I am demanding: my husband is Tuscan and we are often in Northern Italy - I expected food of the same quality. The wine was excellent.

5.5/10Extremely expensive even for GVA. Main dish of a small duck leg with a few grilled vegetables hard to chew. Around 50chf!!! Whaaaat?!?! I left the restaurant hungry. Also the place is small and the noise from people talking is terrible. I couldn’t hear my friend on other side of the table. Will never return!

10/10Myself and my flight crew have been here a number of times. Fantastic food. Wonderful service. Can’t recommend the Tortelini Burrata and Panna Cotta enough. Excellent options. The filet of beef is excellent as well. The Pinot noir selection was great as well.
