About this restaurant

Permanently Closed - Though most are shopping for diamonds while in London’s Hatton Garden, Fabrizio’s may be brightest gem in the area. This intimate, family-run restaurant is refreshingly unpretentious, with café-style wooden chairs and tables and paintings of Mediterranean food to whet the appetite for the huge Italian flavours on offer. The genial chef/host Fabrizio is always at hand with suggestions from either the a la carte or outstanding seasonal specials menu. Regular favourites include warm chicken livers with wild mushrooms and fried polenta, homemade spaghetti with baby clams, chilli and cherry tomato sauce and seared beef tagliata with balsamic reduction and rocket. Prices rarely go over the £13 mark, making it a diamond for both gullet and pocket.

    perfect local Italian. Excellent wine list. Well priced and full of interesting Italian wines. The pastas are the best. What it lacks in atmosphere it makes up in food. Will definitely return

    Lovely little very well run family owned restaurant. Friendly staff, very efficient service and the prices were very very good too, for central London. Far better all-round experience than the usual chain stuff, and one we all agreed we would happily go back to. Very large portions too, so you won't be left feeling hungry, and the drinks were very reasonably priced too, which is always nice to see. excellent all round. thanks.

    Lively, family owned restaurant with a very personal touch. I never give 'outstanding' but have made an exception in this case

    We went to the restaurant on a personal recommendation, it looks very unassuming, we were welcomed with a smile and offered a menu with specials that contained unusual items like sheep prosciutto which was lovely, the chicken livers were excellent, we then had pasta main courses linguini with sea urchin was a seafood delight and the ravioli was wonderful, the sicilian wine was made with a fiano grape which was a very refreshing white. The dessert a cherry cheesecake was great finight the meal. The service was very good we didn't feel the waitress was hovering but she appeared as soon as we finished each course. In all an experience we can't wait to repeat.
