La Festiva, Springvale

Our beloved pizza shop close to us closed and so we trauwled the net for a replacement. We saw these guys were close and seemed to have good reviews, so we tried it out tonight. Must say, their food is actually pretty good! They only have hot salami, not mild, but I tried it and it's not actually that hot which is good, and their garlic bread is really nice. First time in ages I've eaten half a large pizza and three slices of garlic bread - and I'm a girl!

Great food, excellent value and the owner and staff really look after you. Plus it's very reasonably priced

Although it is not the most picturesque restaurant, the quality of food is outstanding. The pizzas are fantastic, not overly loaded with toppings, but very tasty and delicious. The home made gnocchi is also divine.

i come here at least 3 times a week ! the food is cooked FRESH, tastes BEAUTIFUL and is great VALUE !

the staff and owner are great, they are fast and friendly so combining this with the excellent food i personally couldn't ask for more :D

Two of my colleagues and myself enjoy a weekly lunch at La Festiva. Their Pizza is fantastic, I can highly recommend the Sam's Special.

Overall, La Festiva is a very good place to eat, and good value. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. I gave La Festiva a 4 star rating in all categories but would have given it 4 1/2 in most categories if it was possible to do so.

There were 4 areas that I would fault La Festiva, and 3 of those many people may think I was being picky

The most serious was that the fried calamari was not quite cooked properly, and was a bit rubbery.

The other areas that let La Festiva down were:

Ordered fettuccine, but got spaghetti.

The main courses were brought out before we had finished the entrees.

The staff didn't bother to ask us how the meals were.

These were only minor, but hopefully will be addressed by the management.

I would definitely be happy to eat at La Festiva again.

Attention to detail. Sams cooking is superb and the food quality is excellent, the waiting service is superior and thoughtful, the atmosphere is totally "family-oriented" and they pretend not to be otherwise and the entire experience was great.

We have eaten at La Festiva many times over the last 7 year this is a very relaxing place to eat, the food tastes very nice the price is also very good value for money.

Sam has lots of staff working for him and each have a very happy outlook, which comes across in how they look after every customer.

We called in recently for lunch. Our Pizza's were served quickly by a jovial waiter. Our Pizza's and Garlic Bread were really tasty. The decor is really simple and rustic but the food is delicious and the service very attentive. We will definitely be going back again soon.

Great customer service, great food. Everything is nice and fresh any time of the day.

We have been going there weekly for a long time and never once had a bad experience.
