Came in on a Saturday night for our 8:00pm reservation and grateful for there valet and coat check services on this blistery winter night.
Our hostess kindly greets us and leads us to our end table in the dining room in front of the pizza oven with wonderful views of chefs hard at work.
Within a minute of being seated our waitress comes over to go over the menu with us and takes our drink orders. Right after a delicious basket of freshly sliced warm right out of the oven bread arrives table side. Just like last time its crunchy exterior and soft chewy interior brings back delicious memories.
Next arrives our super bubbly perfectly chilled glasses of Nino Franco - Prosecco. I remember to remain lady like and not chug back the entire glass of this enticing nectar.
For appetizer we order the Fabbrica meatball - veal, pork, beef, tomato sauce and reggiano. It is Hugeeee! However the delicious combination of meats is juicy and flavourful and the rich tomato sauce beautifully soaks into the house bread which our waitress kindly refills.
For mains we continue the carnivorous theme and order the Porterhouse for two.
Beautifully presented on a wooden platter garnished with roasted garlic and lemon my mouth begins to water as the aroma fills my head. I am thankful its already presliced so I don't have to waste anytime digging in.
Perfectly cooked medium rare, juicy, tender, flavourful I can not fault this meat in any way!
To accompany it we order sides of roasted fingerling potatoes w/ rosemary and garlic & sauteed rapini w/ garlic and preserved chili. Both are delicious and perfectly cooked and seasoned.
As if we weren't stuffed enough after our hearty dinner, I can not resist browsing a dessert menu and lucky me my favourite flavourful of gelato is featured.
Pistachio Gelato - deep rich flavours of roasted pistachios with the perfect balance of sweet and salt spark my appetite once again. I appreciate that they didn't dye the gelato a vibrant green but left it au naturel! I devour my bowl of gelato in no time.
Fabbrica does it once again! Beautiful and equally delicious well prepared food leaves me overly satisfied. I look forward to another wonderful night out here again!
