While not the first time to be shunted about as a sinlge dinner this was my most recent experience. I get that it's a busy place but I have had dinner at the bar before with much better results. Perhaps there has been a loss of staff a the end of the summer.

Our waiter did not seem very customer focused- his explanation of the daily specials wasn’t very enthusiastic. He didn’t really seem to know much about the offering other than the menu had changed recently and the specials are a mix and match of old and new menu. He didn’t even ask if we wanted bread of which we observed being offered to every other table by a different staff. The experience was underwhelming- we had higher expectations.

Our meal was wonderful. We started with an heirloom tomato salad with strachitella. The tomato was fresh, firm and bursting with flavor which was enhanced by the house made cheese and dressing. The bone in veal was moist and tender and covered in delicious marinara and a perfect amount of mozzarella. It was also huge and could easily feed two people. The roasted chicken breast was the star of the evening, full of flavor and incredibly tender. The decor is romantic and rustically elegant. Our servers were both attentive, friendly and professional. A perfect dining experience.

Food quality was surprisingly low, someone is purchasing low quality ingredients - ribeye was meh for $90 and the Caesar was low quality and warm. Not how a proper Caesar should be presented at this quality level of restaurant. Atmosphere was very nice! We had server confusion on who was waiting our table, Server forgot our apps also then apps came after the main course and we’re still billed and we’re burnt - just tacky to do something like that. I have no issue spending $350 for 2 people but the food quality and service does NOT align with the price point. The Mill Cafe makes better quality food and has better service - you guys need to STEP UP your game!

Good food. Good service. Lovely decor. We shared many plates in our group of 5 so we all had a little taste of everything - a great way to do it. They were very accommodating. Wheelchair accessible with a little help. A little loud, but otherwise nice.

Had a great dining experience at Fabbrica. Service was friendly, attentive and fast. I sat at the bar and could see that the staff worked so fluidly and well together - a fine-tuned machine for sure. I ordered their pasta special (linguine with scallops) and it was fantastic. I also their homemade foccacia and tapenade. Wonderful!

Our second time here but this time we sat on the patio. Great food and atmosphere! We went with our four young kids, so not always easy. The owner came and spoke with us briefly, was laughing along with the kids. Will definitely be heading back soon

Lots of flies, but we choose to sit outside, so I'll take the fall for that. Service was ok. Seemed a bit arrogant when my husband asked prices of the specials. Made a comment of "your Ceasar salad is your meal, your main dish?" Expensive....don't eat out much, this justified why I do not. I understand people need to make a living, but $24 for 7 oysters? $24 for a bowl of pasta, with a few pieces of scallops and mussel bits? Although a good meal, I've realized once again why I do not eat out. Diner for 5 with only a few of us having an alcoholic drink amounting to $400. Kinda extreme.....won't be back.

This was my first time here. The food and service was good. My only complaint is that we were rushed. From the time we got there, ordered, food served and bill it was 50 minutes. We could not finish our bottle of wine if we ordered one. I don't like to be rushed when I go out to spend time with loved ones. I don't go out for only the food, it's for the whole experience.

it was probably our fault that we did not check out the menu in advance. we had a reservation for 6:15 and were there & seated early. very pleasant waiter Chad immediately came by & offered us drinks, water & advised us of specials. came back at 6:30 to place our orders immediately came back to state that the "special of the day" ordered by 2 people in our party was sold out. unfortunately, limited choices for us after that. Caesar salads, 1 pizza & burger shared among 4 people Very expensive. We would not go back again but I understand it is a very successful restaurant for many, many people. Again, excellent waiter Chad
