I've never been disappointed when I've eaten there. it can get quite a lot to do, which is not bad, and is a certificate for the quality of food served there. the personal is friendly to another bonus. Please note that the map on urbanspoon shows the wrong location. fabios is in corstorphine, on the main road to the airport. it is close to a small commercial property where there are good parking spaces.

I started with the calamari fritti, and it was excellent: lightly battered, crispy, and not greasy at all. For my main dish, I had the pollo milanese, which was also wonderfully prepared. The chicken fillet was juicy, with just the right amount of breadcrumb coating, and the mini roasted potatoes were perfectly crispy. No sauce, no cheese—just simple and delicious! A light dessert of Italian coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell rounded off the meal perfectly. I’m definitely a fan of Fabio—the restaurant!

I 've been here before, and I know that Scottish food is pretty bland, so I came here with pretty low expectations. However, for a restaurant in the UK, I would say that this is a pretty decent restaurant. For starters, I had some smoked salmon wrapped in cream cheese and a minestrone soup. The smoked salmon was pretty good, it came in 3 pieces. There was a bit too much cream cheese for each piece, so I only had one and shared the rest with my co workers. The minestrone soup was very good and refreshing, considering the weather is currently in the 50 's 60 's and I came from Houston 80 's 90 's degree weather. For the main entree, I had a shrimp dish, served on rice, in a creamy mustard sauce. It was alright. The sauce felt overwhelming, and it was poured all over, drenching the rice, so it was hard to take any bite without a spoonful of the mustard sauce. Mustard is a strong flavor and it felt like they used a bit too much mustard. The shrimp were small pieces cut up into smaller pieces, which was not what I was expecting either. Just a note, lemonade means sprite to them. Not fresh lemonade. Overall, still a better meal than anything I expected.
