  • I was excited when I heard Fabbrica was open and made dinner reservations for 5 people. It was very busy for a weeknight but the servers were friendly. I love many of the cooked dishes that McEwan has across the street so I was expecting something as wonderful. My overall impression of the food was mixed. A couple of great dishes and the rest were so-so. I'm a huge fan of Terroni and rarely have I had something mediocre there. One thing I did notice was the prices on the menu posted on their website is different than the prices we were charged or should I say overcharged. I've put the web prices in brackets. We started with: Brushette mushrooms and gorgonzola torta $10 which was very good, not overly greasy and very flavourful. The bread was toasted nicely. Selezione di salumi, Berkshire prosciutto, Genoa Salami, Capicollo, Guanciale $27 ($26) Not outstanding - just average. I'm not a fan of Guanciale, it's just too fatty. Mozzarella di buffala $16 ($14) The tomatoes were sweet and juicy and how can you go wrong with buffala? Pizza Margherita $17 ($16) Bland and soggy. Pizza Funghi $20 Had more flavour than the Margherita but again very soggy. The actual pizza dough was nice not too salty but needed to be cooked longer. Ricotta Gnocchi $18 ($16) The texture of the Gnocchi was light and fluffy and the hint of lemon was very nice. The sauce was ok. My sister thought that the tomatoes tasted canned. The Gnocchi at Terroni is much fluffier but Fabbrica's was better than most I've tried. Maiale pork belly $14 I really enjoyed the pork belly - it was subtle and delicate if pork can be delicate. I like that the natural flavours come through not saltiness. Great sauce but would have been better with some bread. Agnello braised lamb neck $28 The flavour was quite intense and delicious. Barbabietale organic beets $11 ($10) These beets were fabulous and flavourful I think I ate at least half of this dish. Cavalo nero black kale $10 ($8) I found the kale a bit tough but edible because it took on the flavour of the speck. For dessert we had Tiramisu $11 ($9) and Sorbetto $8 ($6). I can't comment on the Tiramisu but I had three different flavours of sorbetto: cherry, lemoncello, pear & prosecco. My favourite is usually lemoncello but it wasn't as tart as I would have liked it. Cherry was ok but the pear was fantastic. I wish I had gotten 3 scoops of that instead. I agree with the others that the bread should be complementary. We didn't ask for bread but with some of the saucy dishes it would have been a very nice addition. I give it a solid 3 stars as all the food was quite edible. They just need to do some fine tuning with seasoning on some of the dishes and definitely the cooking times for the pizza. I would go back but not right away. I'm hoping the next visit everything will be refined and service more polished.
