Shrinkflation seems to have hit here. We ordered a 1/2 order of penne a la vodka (one of our favorite dishes) and was really disappointed in the portion size. There was barely enough for the two of us. A full order used to come in a very big bowl so we were expecting more than half that size The chicken carpaccio was delish!! Out easier was very attentive! Also didn't appreciate that pets are allowed. It was definitely not a service animal.

My family and I come here once a month if not more. Or even have the food delivered. Always great and fresh. Food portions are huge. All servers are friendly especially John, even when he's not our server he will stop by and say hello. The cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage or the shrimp franchise is our favorite but really all of the dishes are good. Their dessert are heavenly.

I just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!
