• Excellent food.
• Steep prices and ultra-small portions.

“Excellent food served in amazingly small portions at steep prices. We ordered a half carafe of wine and it was just over half full when it arrived. When questioned, the server said that Fabio's doesn't fill the half carafes to the fill line but fills it only enough to pour two glasses. Ergo a $50 savings over two glasses. Weird! Ergo it shouldn't be called a half carafe! The salads were tasty but very small portions. The bread was piping hot and delicious (and ample). Our (my wife and I) pasta dishes were very good but the amount of pasta in each dish wasn't even adequate for a 3 year old! We can't imagine what the Bistro portions are like - probably fit in a thimble! The decor is early hideous. We won't return mainly because of the parsimonious portions. Too bad. The food is excellent. While most prices are over $20 per entree, our dishes were $11.50 and $14.50 respectively. Reasonable if it weren't for those ghastly portions!”

• Salad, bread, mussels.
• Waitress, veal dishes, atmosphere.

“Salad and bread were great. Mussels were terrific. The two veal dishes were terrible made with something like hot peppers which does not belong in Veal Piccata or Veal Marsala! The waitress was nothing less than obnoxious, and ruined what could have been a much better experience. The entire interior of the restaurant needs "finishing" and carpeting.”

• The salad and bread.
• The veal entrée.

“I had the veal ala Romano. It was overdone and tasted like it was made out of shredded meat. For $20 expected better. The salad was excellent and the waitress was very nice. The music being played was just short of rap or possibly something from the Caribbean. If it was to be a romantic dinner that would have ruined the ambience.”
