Fabio's Authentic Italiano - Hermanus

Fantastic authentic Italian cuisine made the right way with the best ingredients. great, friendly and attentive consulting. Thank you.

Had a lovely dinner, authentic Italian and very tasteful aromatic food! The family ambiance in the restaurant is amaizing and very welcoming. Service is fast and friendly. Thank you for a great evening out!

One of my favorite restaurants in Hermanus is Fabio's, and if you love Italian food this is a must try. Located in a narrow side street of the main road, the restaurant doesn't have a sea view, but makes up for it with it's decor and music which creates a sense of stepping into a restaurant in the heart of Italy. Their menu is vast with a definite highlight being their seafood pasta or any of their pizzas. They also have a selection of local as well as Italian wines and beers to choose from, however as we visited during Covid lockdown we weren't able to buy alcohol, but they had a variety of alcohol free beers available as well. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating, trying to give you the best possible experience. This wasn't my first time visiting and definitely wont be the last. Ciao!

Consistently delicious food and fabulous service with personality. All in all, a great experience. And yes you can get cheaper in Hermanus, but remember that you get what you pay for!

We were very disappointed to arrive there after a long day's driving, although we did not have a reservation, friends who live in Hermanus told us we won't need one, and at 7pm on a Sunday for dinner we were told that the kitchen is closed for orders. There weren't even other alternate options recommended by them to us. We were really looking forward to try the food, as they came recommended to us by friends/locals. The restaurant was not even at full capacity with the regulations and most of the outside seating was open (and even seating inside). Feedback on the owner's response: Dear Fabio, I appreciate your response, but I am sorry, it was not loadshedding at that time, loadshedding only started there at 8pm. If your restaurant is under pressure and the kitchen cannot deliver food to a half full restaurant, maybe you should re-evaluate your seating capacity. I would also suggest that we could have been informed in a more polite manner than what we were told: the kitchen is closed and we're not serving anyone else which came across quite rude and without any other restaurants as recommendations, if one cannot assist patrons at your restaurant. I do appreciate your feedback, but I do not appreciate that you say "pls feel free to email me anytime directly rather that using social media as a medium , I’m a good person love my business Ciao Fabio I am a reviewer, and Google Reviews is a platform used for this. If I wanted to, I could have run to all other social media platforms, which I did not do. If you don't want your restaurant being reviewed, you can have Google Reviews remove your business from the platform. My review was to inform people of MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, and the means that you are providing in trying to set it right yet from your type of response it is clear that you are not taking ownership/responsibility, this is what patrons need to be made aware of. Also, please note that you even got my name incorrect, no one spells their name with an small letter...
