Fanelli's - Cave Junction

My grandkids and I had lunch and it was AMAZING!! We split a meatball sandwich and soup. Everyone was so full and happy. A great meal at a great place for a great price.

It was my birthday, and since I'd never been to this restaurant before and typically don't enjoy Italian cuisine, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I had the best meal ever! I can't thank them enough for such an amazing experience. Hats off to them!

I absolutely love this place! I'm from Massachusetts, about 30 minutes north of Boston, and every time I eat at Fanellies, it takes me back to enjoying a meal at Vinny Testa's or Polcari's in Boston. The restaurant is slightly small, but it captures the essence of a genuine Italian setting with its decor and atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and personal; the couple who runs the place truly brings everything together and makes you feel right at home.

The ingredients here are top-notch, and you can truly feel the skill and passion in every dish I've tried. The specials are particularly remarkable, showcasing the chef's meticulous attention to detail. With a phenomenal chef at the helm and the freshest local ingredients, each meal turns into a deliciously exciting culinary experience right in our own community.

The Italian cuisine here feels bland and lacks originality. Who serves a meatball without sauce? The basil tomato soup tastes more like a simple bowl of tomato sauce with just a dash of dried herbs on top. Don't even get me started on the eggplant parmesan! They use the lowest quality ingredients, including meats and cheeses packed with hormones. If you're looking to support someone truly worthwhile, head to Pietro's in Cave Junction. And if you're in the Rogue Valley, Rosaria's in Medford is definitely worth the trip!
