So much great Italian dishes to choose from... So little room in my stomach!!

by janaschreiber8

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

by regsusa

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.

One of the BEST Italian Food I've Ever Tasted!

by missdream4

A friend of mine told us that we should all have dinner there one night. This was my first time dining there. The place was so cozy and tastefully decorated with pictures of Italy. A good place to go on a date or with your friends. I saw even a small family there too. Our server was great. She was super nice and very attentive. Our friend is obsessed with the chicken dish that comes with artichokes and capers. We tried some of her dish and wow. I ordered the chicken napoli which is bow tie pasta with chicken, basil, mushrooms, and gargonzola cheese in a cream sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Every bite was like a burst full of flavor. Prepared freshly and with key ingredients that make the dishes so savory. Huge portions and at a reasonable price. I couldn't finish it all. The leftover food two days later was still so amazingly tastey, Great place to dine. I think I have found a new favorite Italian restaurant versus the usual Cheesecake Factory. I will come back again and again. That's for sure.

• Pros: Great service, fine Italian food in a cozy setting that isn't a rip off
• Cons: Small, pot-holed stacked parking in back
