About us

Fava, located in the Brandywine Crossroads Center at Routes 1 and 202 in Glen Mills, is a true Italian ristorante — a place meant to restore and refresh. We honor that tradition by offering exceptional cuisine, attentive hospitality, and an atmosphere designed for comfort and connection.

Our kitchen, led by owner Michael Buono and the Fava Culinary Team, blends classic Italian flavors with modern touches. The dining room’s warm, contemporary setting invites you to relax, unwind, and enjoy the experience from the moment you arrive.

Our beverage program features a robust wine list with hundreds of labels from Italy, France, California, and beyond. We also offer premium spirits from around the world, seasonal craft cocktails, and an international selection of draft beers alongside rotating local favorites. Live piano music on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays adds a refined, energetic backdrop to your evening.

Join us for Happy Hour Sunday–Friday from 4–6 p.m. (extended to 8 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays) and enjoy select food and drink specials.

Fava is also a premier destination for private events, including bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, celebrations of life, corporate meetings, pharmaceutical dinners, group happy hours, and more. Our Campania Room accommodates 20 to 120 guests, offering a beautiful, versatile space and a dedicated team committed to bringing each event to life.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fava—where exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a warm Italian spirit come together.
