Fabbrica

Start with wine and a few appetisers, then move on to pasta or pizza once you find a dish you like. At Fabbrica, you can build your meal by choosing just as much as you feel like eating. The antipasto platter brings together 6–7 prepared dishes, including pink potato salad made with beetroot. It works well if you want to sample a little of everything, or share a few bites around the table. There is also a charcuterie platter with 4–5 varieties, including Parma ham and pancetta, as well as a cheese selection featuring hard, white-mould and blue cheeses.

One dish visitors remember is the linguine with roasted mushrooms and nuts in anchovy cream sauce. They describe the salty anchovy, savoury mushrooms and creamy sauce as a pleasing combination, served with pasta cooked to a satisfying firmness. The same meal included a pizza combining the soft-yolk Bismarck and Romana styles, whose chewy crust was well received. Other diners mention coming for pizza and wine, or enjoying Pizza Formaggio with honey. These options offer a more substantial meal than a light evening of drinks and appetisers.

Wine can be sampled by the glass before you settle on a favourite. Visitors describe tasting a few and then ordering the one they liked by the glass or bottle. The menu also lists Pinot Grigio described as crisp, a dry Sauvignon Blanc and a fruit-forward Bordeaux red. There are choices to pair with a few appetisers or with a meal centred on pasta or pizza.

There is indoor dining as well as terrace seating, where dogs are permitted outdoors. Visitors have reported dining alone, coming in groups and spending time on the terrace with their dogs, making this a place to keep in mind if you want to choose your seating to suit the occasion.
