| - Two of us were hungry on a Thursday night and were craving a pizza. We didn't feel like having the regular big chain pizza, but rather a nice restaurant style one. So we decided to drop by Fabbrica, as it was conveniently located nearby and their website said they were going to be open for over another hour. I apologize in advance, but this is going to be a lengthy and weird one.
As we got to the restaurant, the doors were closed yet we saw people sitting inside. I was really embarrassed, since I thought I had maybe misread the listed times. So I went back on their website and confirmed that I hadn't been mistaken, but the doors were just closed quite early for some reason. We saw the hostess from outside and caught her attention. As she unlocked the door, we asked if they were closed given the website indicated they should be open. She looked very confused and said, well...we are kind of closed, but you could come in. We would only be able to serve you pizza, salads and dessert. I was very reluctant to go in given all of this weirdness. But, my boyfriend was very hungry and decided we would go in.
Once we were seated, our waiter asked us if we had any questions about the menu. We wanted to clarify what we were able to order. I saw the ravioli on the menu and wanted to know if it was a possibility, given what we were told at the door. The waiter also looked rather confused and said he would be back to check in the kitchen. He came back and let us know that all the pizzas, pastas and apps were available, but none of the meats or fish, etc. Fine. My bf got the lamb pizza and I got the ravioli.
While waiting, we were given yummy bread on the house with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to munch on. It was a good start to our meal. However, we received our food and were both quickly disappointed. The food was pretty bland. We asked to get some seasoning or hot sauce of some sort. We were given chilli oil and chilli flakes that we gladly added to our food. The pizza was okay in my opinion to begin with, but the ravioli was very bland. Once I added the chilli oil, I finally began to enjoy my meal. We were going to order dessert initially, but then decided not to in case we were going to be disappointed with that too. Can't add chilli oil to cannolis...
Overall, they should definitely modify the times on their website if there have been changes so that customers are aware before making a trip there. Or, I would recommend calling them in advance. The way we were greeted was very awkward and I personally would have never gone in had my bf not been starving. The service once inside was pleasant, which is why the second star is given (and the bread). However, all of the confusion and the bland food earned this review 2 stars.
