Northern Italian cuisine made fresh to order is a family tradition here! Reservations are strongly recommended
(462)

Visit Ristorante Fabio for upscale, casual dining in an intimate atmosphere with warm and welcoming service! The Ciminati family invites you to experience a delicious family tradition! Though the doors of Ristorante Fabio opened in 1993, our family has been in the business of cooking incredible food since the early 1970s. Today, daughter and chef Viviana Vena is now the owner. Our customers love indulging in our Northern Italian cuisine, which ranges from decadent pastas to savory entrees to sweet treats. Every dish is made to order fresh, and we're always happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. It's because we believe in giving our guests only the best -- it's the least we can do for a community that's shown us so much love over the years.
