Fabbrica has been a stellar performer for me and my wife over the past couple of years. The interior is warm and inviting, the service consistently genuine, the vibe always interesting and the food is reliably very good. Oh, did I mention the pizza oven? I will go to my grave envious of such a beautiful thing.
The bread...if there is in fact a charge for it (as others have noted) I have never noticed as it, along with the oil, is exceptional. Don't whine about having to actually pay for something so good.
The pizza...some of the best this city has to offer. Others have noted that it is not as good as _____________, and it may not be, but make no mistake, this is GOOD pizza.
The salumi (charcuterie)...second only to mine.
Octopus Diavolo...exceptional. Yes, one of the best I've eaten.
Coffee...they know what a macchiato is and come close enough to knowing how to make one.
Polenta and beet salad are also worth mention.
Fabbrica is a good all round performer. Not cheap, but we have yet to have a meal there that was anything but very good.
