Fabrocinis Italian Kitchen

Great neighborhood feel. Nothing fancy on the inside. Enjoyed an antipsasto salad and had the penne Diane

My lunch pals and I enjoyed our meals very much. All 12 of us.

Excellent Italian Food. Since moving from the east coast I have been looking for an Italian restaurant that knows how to prepare Veal Parmagean. Most restaurants in LA, except the extremely expensive ones use chopped veal. It was a pleasure to find a neighborhood restaurant that uses real veal and pounds it thin. In addition they serve pasta, and for a mere $5.00 extra they will add what they call broken shrimp. This is a misnomer. The shrimp are whole and medium sized, and they give you a large amount. All in all, this is a pleasurable dining experience.

I'm torn between telling you just how fabulous Fabrocini's is, and keeping it all to myself. This probably comes from a selfish sense of entitlement because I've been a returning customer for many years, going way back to a time when they were a fraction of the size with two or three tables. Back in the day the kitchen was larger than the dining room. It was quite a hole in the wall. They've grown a little since then but the food has remained the same simple, and strikingly delicious. Two gems: the scampi and the chicken ravioli.

No nonsense Italian food. We enjoyed our meal. Will go again.Vegetarian options: Many menu items are vegetarian. Not much for vegans but I am sure they can handle requests.
