The bread was ok. The chicken was cooked well. The tour of…read moreItaly was very disappointing. The Alfredo was basically heavy cream and little bit of Parmesan. The only way I knew there was parm in the sauce was the few strings of cheese. It was also way too thin. It would've been nice if they'd at least started with a béchamel before adding the parm. Throwing farm in heavy cream is not an Alfredo. The chicken parm was.... Well cooked and breaded chicken with a can of tomato sauce and some cheese thrown on it. I couldn't even it I was so disappointed.

The menu doesn't stray far from the usual assortment that you expect from an Italian restaurant. There is nothing wrong with that. The items on the menu are all beloved and most will find something on the menu that will intrigue them. The service was friendly and professional and definitely added to the vibe and experience. I went with the lasagna and found it to be enjoyable. I would definitely recommend La Favorita.

They were unique, with a ritz cracker coating and a warm gooey pimento cheese on the inside! My son got the kids chicken tenders, fries and bbq. He loved them. Hubby and I each got a panini. They were similar, so we wished we had ordered a pizza instead. That's our fault! All of the food was good, and we enjoyed our time there. Loved the grits, Mac and cheese is very rich in flavor. Hubby enjoyed a gin and tonic! Great spot!

For an appetizer I had the beef carpaccio which was nice, but I have had carpaccio from other places I prefer.

She never got grilled chicken and she asked for no crushed pistachio's on top but she got them anyways. Our server recommended the special which was pasta with scallops and grouper. There were two scallops in the dish and the grouper was so dried out and gross. She did take it back. We waited well over 45 minutes from the time we were done eating to get our bill. We had to wait another 20 minutes while they took the chicken off our bill and the gross special I sent back. We won't be going back anytime soon.

It's since grown to a 150-seat restaurant at 301 Harrison Ave in downtown Panama City. Mike has since retired and handed the restaurant off to new owner Matt Harbison, who's kept it going. It holds a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award and has been called the best restaurant in Bay County by locals. The food lives up to that reputation. We started with the fresh mozzarella ball appetizer with prosciutto and peppers, along with the bruschetta -- both great openers that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The homemade pasta is clearly a point of pride and it shows -- the spaghetti bolognese was rich and well balanced, and the chicken parm was done right, with fresh mozzarella melted over a well-breaded cutlet. Grilled shrimp was a great lighter option alongside the heavier pasta dishes. Finished with the ricotta cheesecake, a nice twist on the usual cheesecake that leans into the restaurant's Italian roots rather than playing it safe. A genuine downtown Panama City institution, and the homemade pasta alone makes it worth the visit.
