Great food, great bread, all for a price that matches the flavor and quality.

Worst

Go anywhere else ! ---Food was very average. The prices for the entrees were way overpriced for what you received. I ordered the lamb chops (recommended). They were very ""ga...

Buon Alimento! 4/13/2007

On a whim, decided to drop in at 9 pm on a Wednesday night. The food was WONDERFUL, portions were generous, atmosphere was inviting, relaxing, pleasant. The service was so lightening fast - we were shocked and amazed. We literally ordered a chicken pasta dish and a calamari salad and 5 minutes later it was on the table, the pasta steaming hot and delicious. This was really a wonderful surprise as I have been really disappointed by Hollywood restaurants - all hype, no substance, usually overpriced, too crowded, indifferent waitstaff. But this was not my experience at Fabiolus at all! Very refreshing alternative to the normal local cuisine. You can't leave without having the Tiramisu - seriously, it's the best around and plenty for 2. Pros: Everything was really very good - there is even free parking! Cons: N/A more

great for a date 4/5/2007

i went for lunch and it was good, but the dinner i had there was fantastic! the atmosphere in the evening is so much better (maybe it's the darker lighting or the bigger crowd?). the food was fantastic and the ricotta cheese cake is OUT OF THIS WORLD. i can't wait to go back for some more! the waiter we had made our dinner that much nicer. (wait staff can make or break an evening out) overall wonderful experience for a wonderful price! Pros: ricotta cheese cake more

Hollywoods Best Italian 10/22/2006

The food is fantastic. Very fresh and authentic. Wonderful friendly service. They have an arribiatta to die for. Their ravioli is my all time favorite\r \r HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pros: everything Cons: Can get a little busy on the weekends, but worth it more

Great outdoor patio dining 9/5/2006

this place has a great outdoor patio with a low-key atmosphere. the prices are very reasonalbe and the portions are huge. a risotto dish is big enough for two to share. there is a free parking lot in the back of the restaurant. convenient location, friendly service and good food! Pros: great prices, big portions, nice outdoor patio Cons: service was a little slow but still friendly more

Customer Service is Optional 8/17/2006

Great food, great patio, just hope you don't run into the Stalin-esque Owner. Even after this incident I filed a claim with the ""Triple B"".\r \r Had a party of 4 on the patio, food took approx. 30 minutes. Unacceptable, right? When I approached the owner about this he openly berrated me in front of other customers on the patio and yelled, ""You chose to eat here, you'll wait for your order"" all the while becoming increasingly more physical with his exclamations. I was appauled at his actions and was not sure what entitled him to such an outrage. Each and every business owner should be grateful for the money we hand over to them as clientele. \r \r That was 3.5 years ago, haven't been there since. I hope that other clients boycott establishments such as this and choose to hand over his/her money to those establishments that deserve to be supported. Pros: Food Cons: Careful you don't cross the Owner on a bad day. more

cute spot with good food 5/17/2006

Easy for last minute reservations, friendly staff, inexpensive delicious dishes! I think the patio is pretty quaint. Nice for a date. Also, my friend and I were able to have dinner with her baby and they were very accomodating. Yummy food! Pros: Inexpensive, atmosphere, good food more

Consistently good 2/20/2006

Fabiolus is consistently good - the food is the lighter style Italian (not the heavy sauced, over-cheesed stuff), and it's never bad. The lunch menu is mostly sandwiches, which are tasty, but the pasta is the real star here - tasty, cooked perfectly, not over garnished or fussy. Highly recommended. They have a decent list of wines, and the owner's a great guy. Pros: Good food, friendly staff, parking in back more

Lunch goodness. 11/22/2005

Though it's a little pricier then I'd usually spend, the food is lovely and full of flavor! The ingredients are fresh and I love the bread that comes to the table with the garlic oil. That in itself makes the trip to Fabiolus worth it. Try the chicken and spinach salad. more

Pretty Good 4/29/2005

We went to this restaurant for the first time last night and we thought the atmosphere was really great. The food was definitely not up to par for the pricing. The bread and service was excellent. We will give this restaurant a second try and order something different. If you are going to eat here ask for recommendations from your server. Pros: atmosphere, parking, service Cons: food more

Good and Filling 3/27/2005

I've been coming to this location for a few years now (for lunch and dinner) -and the food has always been consistent. The wait staff is suberb, and the owner comes by himself to help you out and check in on you. The dishes are average portions but are filling. Some of the best calimari you can get in L.A., and the Fusilli e Fungii Spinaci dish is really good. It's located on Sunset, right outside of the Palladium and down the street from the Pantages, so be aware of theatre crowds. But get your sweet fix elsewhere, since the desserts don't live up to the entrees and seem pre-packaged. Pros: good food, ambience, friendly staff Cons: busy area, separated restrooms, small parking lot more

Huge Portions / Nice Atmosphere 9/25/2004

This restauarant was a pretty good deal - we happened upon it by accident while heading out to a nearby nightclub. The outdoor seating terrace is fantastic and i could see it as a good romantic spot. I had the calamari, which was good, but my risotto was only OK. The bread was yummy though. the portions are huge so getting just an appetizer and splitting a main course would be a good idea. Pros: Bread, Calamari, Atmosphere more

Good Stuff 3/18/2004

We tried this restaurant because we had a meeting close by and found it on Citysearch. We loved it. The service was very good, and genuine. Definitely non-Hollywood despite its location. Food was excellet, and we even made an out-of-area return trip just because we enjoyed it so much. Almost like a warm, Italian bistro. Pros: food, service, warm more

Not recommended! 7/13/2003

My husband and I went to Fabiolus for the first time before our show at the Pantages. We were happy with the environment and were seated promptly since we made a reservation. However, we were very disappointed at the food and service. We ordered the specials and soup of the day. The esparagus and leek soup was nothing but boiled vegetable with tons of oil. The temperature of the soup was way too hot! I ordered a baked chicken dish and it was way too salty. My husband ordered a rib-eye steak. The steak was so bitter that he had to ask for a side of sauce to dip the steak in. It took the waiter 15 minutes to bring him a side of marinara sauce! We felt very uncomfortable because the waiters are constantly ""running"" around us and they were rushing us out so we hardly enjoyed our meal. more

Damn fine food 4/17/2003

Stuck in the middle of the Birds - Mayfair bit, this place, though well-hidden, really stands out. I swear, every time I try to find it, I pass it and have to go back. The entrees are great, the staff is very attentive, and though cramped, the outside space is very comfortable. Pros: food, service, ambience Cons: cramped space more

Good value, beware of the theater crowd! 12/21/2002

We had a pre-theater dinner here at 6:30pm on a Friday. While there seemed to be several hostesses on duty, it took us about 10 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated it took another 10 minutes before we saw a waiter. The food did arrive quickly. Unfortunately, we did not see our waiter again until one of us flagged him down in the kitchen to get the check. The decor is basic but clean. The food was also good but not great. The prices were very low. If you are in a rush before the theater, beware the crowds. I think that they were overwhelmed with a number of large parties after we arrived; however, they do tout themselves as the theater restaurant, so they should be prepared for such influxes. Overall, a recommendation - but give yourself ample time to be seated, order and get the check! Pros: Value, Convenience Cons: Service, Parking more

Fabiolus is Fabulous 7/18/2002

dropped into this place for a drink pre-show at the Palladium across the street. ended up sampling their calamari and their generous and affordable wine cellar too. what a charming ambience, professional and courteous staff (authentic Italian too i believe) and overall warm and enjoyable experience. Definitely have to get back to this gem for a full blown meal. Pros: freshness, flavorful, charming more

Excellent lunch spot 5/19/2002

This is a great place to lunch. Quick and efficient with all the sit down amenities. The pesto starter set at the table is so addictive. The seafood ravioli is amazing with tender, stuffed pasta and chunky marinara smothering it all. A great dish if you're really hungry. The outdoor patio is a relaxing area and makes you forget your on the less scenic side of Sunset. Pros: efficient waitstaff more
