WOW. All I can say, as an avid pasta eater, this is a must have. You would never think this little pasta stand in Venice Beach would have some of, if not THE BEST pasta one can get in Los Angeles. Super authentic and delicious, all the pasta is home made and you can absolutely tell. Will definitely be coming back, we had the gnocchi with a huge piece of burrata, and amazing squid ink raviolis with a creamy Alfredo sauce and focaccia bread crumbs.
Great fettuccini alfredo with mushrooms. A lot of delicious fresh pasta and garlic bread for only $14. $3 for a big bottle of water too.
Had the Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli with Alfredo sauce and both Mushroom and Chicken toppings, walked an hour to get home and it was excellent!!The bread that comes with it was still crispy and wonderful.Recommend big time.
Fabio is an amazing chef. I tried his gnocchi with pesto on Sunday night and it was one of the best I’ve ever encountered, both here and in Italy. The gnocchi was light as air and the pesto was grassy and (fresh basil) perfumed in the most delightful way. He deserves every accolade he receives and takes great care to make each dish perfect. We will definitely be back!
My favorite is the spicy tomato pasta and my kid loves the meat sauce! The pesto sauce is super good too! Yummy!
I was skeptical about this place when I saw the outside but it proved me wrong. Delicious pasta. Cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of souse. I only wish I would order double mushroom as it was so yummy too. Great pasta!!
Fabio's is a fantastic little Italian experience. It's small, but filled with culinary excellence and a menu that's big enough for variety and small enough for specialty and focus.The fresh made pasta was cooked very well, you could feel the bounce in the noodles that only fresh pasta gives.The Alfredo was rich and had a good sharpness to it with some subtle pepper flavor, it was so good the chicken i had to accompany it was really unnecessary, but still nice to have.The mushroom sauce was creamy with the mushroom taste being tame and not overwhelming. I'm not even much of a fan of mushrooms but the type used or it's preparation lends itself well to the sauce.Finally the tiramisu was quite good, big enough to share if you don't have a huge sweet tooth, but small enough that you can eat the whole thing without feeling like a gluten.When I went here, Fabio's had 4.9 stars and boy can I see why. Great Italian food, good prices, and friendly motivated staff. It's hard to beat, you NEED to give this place a shot ASAP.
Skip the deep fried carnival “food” on the main boardwalk and pop around the corner and grab one of Fabio’s perfectly crafted pasta dishes. Fresh, simple menu perfectly executed. I am amazed a place like this exists in the middle of the touristic silliness of Venice beach.
Delicious pasta served from a window by an extremely nice gentleman. One of the 'real' food options on ocean front walk. Outside seating available so you can watch the ocean and people watch while enjoying.
Got to be one of the best places at Venice beach, food is reasonably priced and it comes out hot and fresh.
