La Favola means "the fable", and that's how we think about a meal here: something you sit down to and lose track of time in.
Handmade pasta, Campanian recipes, a room built for long dinners. Fully licensed and BYO, with corkage at $18 a bottle.
Italy isn't a place. It's a feeling.

Meet Fabio Stefanelli, the chef behind La Favola.
He grew up in Caserta and brought his family's recipes with him to Newtown. Every shape on the menu is made fresh in our kitchen each morning, with egg yolks and semolina, the way it's done at home.
