| - Fabricca is an oasis in the Toronto strip mall, chain restaurant burbs. It's owned by Mark McEwan, celebrity chef and owner of One, downtown Toronto, which is a destination restaurant. Same level of detail and excellence exists here.
Been there before for dinner but went for lunch today. Hip, creative industrial, yet inviting decor, large windows, innovative menu with fresh and freshly prepared ingredients, it's well worth the few extra bucks you'll pay here versus Olive Garden, which isn't even on the same planet as this place.
Hot delicious breads, wonderful soups, even my vanilla mint ice tea was refreshing. The salads are nice sized and served on a wood chopping block. The steak salad and Nonna McEwans raviola (beef, pork veal, tomato and heaps of reggiono) were crowd favorite as was the chocolate torta, but just go to the website and look at the pics and you'll see that this is a serious place.
Excellent, polite and friendly servers enhance the overall experience. it's in a upscale outdoor mall area so leave some time for a stroll afterwards.
