Favale's Trattoria

Fantastic calamari! Some of The best I’ve ever had! Super light and flavorful batter. Pizza was delightful. Nice thin crust and unique sauce makes it a pizza worth trying again and again.

Favales is the perfect family restaurant. We have been here several times and have enjoyed everything we have had . My son and I can’t get enough of their mussels . The pizza is delicious.

I finally got to try this place for lunch and I couldn't be happier. They don't serve single slice pizza but they make up for doing personal pies. I got their white pizza with spinach, mushrooms and prosciutto. It was FANTASTIC. The server was so helpful in answering questions and didn't make me feel pressured.

Favale’s Trattoria is truly a hidden gem. This place may be pricy, but every ingredient is fresh. My half-Italian grandfather said quote “this is the most fresh antipasto I’ve ever had.” The antipasto had very fresh mozzarella, aged parmigiano, dry sausage, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and olives. The pizza was perfection. Light and thin crust but not crunchy, fresh mozzarella, and rich tomato sauce. If they ask you “margarita style or plain,” say margarita style because it’s ten times better. Finally, they put a nice spin on zeppoles. Instead of dough with powdered sugar, they put nutella and cannoli cream along with the powdered sugar. Surprisingly, when you bite into the zeppole, no powdered sugar gets on your clothes and I was wearing a black shirt. Disclaimer: Bring your own alcohol. All in all, this hidden gem of a restaurant had the most fresh ingredients and is a 10/10.

Margherita pizza was amazing, BYOB is a plus. Definitely coming back

This was an absolutely amazing experience. We stopped at Favales on a whim, but we're very happy that we did. The vibe of the place was impressive right from the start, we got a spot right by the cashier and had a front row seat for how the team worked together. We were seated beside a very friendly couple who were regulars and had nothing but positive things to say, pointing out the drive and versatility of the owner and how the team worked together like a well oiled machine. The waitress was helpful and knowledgeable, offering descriptions and recommendations that were perfect. The prosciutto and pear pizza was divine, the coal fired oven added unexpected layers to the flavor. If you get the chance to stop by here, expected or unexpected, take it.

**Favale’s Trattoria** 32 W Main St, Ramsey, NJ 07446 (201) 962-8373 Open Tuesday–Sunday 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Closed Mondays) If you’re craving authentic Italianthat tastes like Nonna’s been cooking all day, **Favale’s Trattoria** is your spot! This cozy little gem in Ramsey is a local favorite and now I know why! We started with their coal-fired Margherita pizza (yes, that’s the proper spelling!), thin, crispy, with fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil, and a homemade tomato sauce so rich and flavorful, you'd think someone’s Italian grandma was stirring it for hours. Then I tried what I later found out is called Chicken Scarpariello, tender chicken breast dipped in egg, served with garlicky broccoli rabe and savory Italian sausage. Comes with a house salad and your choice of pasta, I went for the linguini and don’t regret a single bite! It's **BYOB**, family-friendly, and you can even watch your pizza being made right in front of your eyes. The space is small and intimate, so I’d recommend calling ahead on the weekends, but they were super accommodating when we walked in without a reservation. They made us feel like part of the family. Favale’s is that kind of place where you come once and immediately start planning your next visit. Seriously, Ramsey’s got a hidden treasure here. GO!

First time visiting. We were a group of 9. We came for some brick oven pizza. We were not disappointed. We ordered the white sauce pizza, margherita, pepperoni and cheese. Loved all of them. Thin crust and flavorful. They came with chicken wings which were also good. They serve water when seated. Definitely will come back.
