Cozy West Valley neighborhood Italian eatery serves everything from calamari and pizza to seasonal vegetable dishes and pasta specials.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- The small lot in back of the restaurant holds six cars, double-stacked. Street spots can be hard to come by on Ventura, so be prepared to circle the block a couple times.
- What to Drink:
- The restaurant offers a limited selection of beer and wine. Corkage is only $5.

Simply Delicious!
by GAFARU at Citysearch
Excellent service and even better cuisine!! I really enjoyed the Antipasto Salad which we watched the designated salad chopper cut fresh for us at his salad station. Dude is good with the knife. Nice yet affordable wine selection. Delicious and large desserts. Overall a 5/5.

This place is GREAT-Dinner time is very busy. Fabrocini's feels warm and welcoming. Victoria was our waitess-very friendly-helpful and fast. I had the Scapparella-nicely prepaired, wonderful taste.My husband had the linguine with clams-he enjoyed every bite. We took our 5 yr old grandson-they made him chocolate milk(which isn't on their menu) nice people!!! Great place,Great service. We will be going back.
Horrible service + overcooked food!!

We had to ask twice to get service and finally order.
I had the pasta with scampi - the pasta was soft/overcooked and drowned in a sea of garlic sauce - really bad!!
The parmesan was in a shaker on the table, when I requested fresh parmesan, I got a tiny portion.
We never had a chance of getting a second glass of wine or even desert...the waiter was so unfriendly and unattentive, which killed the entire mood of the visit.
We will never be back...
So much great Italian dishes to choose from... So little room in my stomach!!

Cozy and crowded, fragrant and fresh, Fabrocini's offers some of the best Italian food in the Valley. Although it could take a while to get seated during weekend evenings, the food is most certainly worth the wait- especially when you can walk down Ventural Blvd. to make the the time go by faster. The steamy soups and variety of delicious salads ranging from minestrone to a mussel and clam soup with a tomato basil based broth, and an antipasti salad to a fresh array of marinated peppers and buffalo mozzarella atop chopped greens, it is difficult to make your way down to the entree selections. The freshly baked bread that you can dip in olive oil, balsamic vinegarette, and parmesean cheese- its absolutely amore!
- Pros: Delicious Food, Comfy, Cozy atmosphere
- Cons: tiny space is conducive to long waits
Excellent Italian Food

This is a great place to eat. Service is exceptional. Parking has gotten much better since the movie theater next store closed. Been there a dozen times haven't had one bad thing on the menu. They usually have three or four nightly specials which you should definitely give consideration to. My favorite special is the Chicken with Grogonzola sauce. It's the best I've ever had. It's so good, it should be on the regular menu. Their bread is warm and delicious. Staff is very friendly and attentive. I get re-fills on ice tea long before my glass is empty. Place is really cozy. TRY IT OUT! You won't regret it.
