  • Let me start by saying I never really understood the idea of "al dente" or the "The pasta is not swimming in sauce" comments you would hear all those cooking shows say. Having eaten pasta for longer than I care to admit, I feel as though I've been cheated by the restaurants serving the noodles and goop I have been eating. Now on to the review... My wife and I went on the advice of friends that recently returned from a three week stay in Italy. They said that if I wanted real authentic Italian food, then Fabio's is the place for us. So, we went and had buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto salad, spaghetti w/mussels and shrimp, short rib ravioli, and strawberry gelato. The cheese and prosciutto were delicious. The pasta was the best I have ever EVER had. I totally get the al dente now. The sauces coated the pasta as opposed to a ladle of red stuff with meat slopped in the middle of flavorless noodles. So I guess those TV chefs knew all along what pasta is supposed to be, huh? The strawberry gelato was also perfecto. The kind of OMG I need to sit down before I pass out kind of good. Yes, it's a tad pricy, and yes it's true that you don't get endless plates of dreck to gorge on, BUT you will get the best tasting meal you may have ever had. No, I don't say that lightly. It really was that good and I plan on going again tomorrow. As far as service goes, everyone was super friendly. Fabio came by to introduce himself before the food was even served. Rafael knew every detail of what you were going to eat, and we chatted like old friends about his family. I had the good fortune of living in Europe while stationed in Germany. The "service" was just as I remembered. No, they don't hover over you and hand you your check before you swallow that last bite. Rather, they treated us like guests. That's how it's done over there. It's slightly slow by American standards, but I didn't want American-Italian, I wanted Italian-Italian and that is exactly what they gave us. The portion size was also perfect. While the food was so good I wanted to eat more and more and even more; I was full but not painfully so. The bang for your buck IS there in quality not necessarily quantity. I'm perfectly fine with that.
