Casa Fabesso

First time at the restaurant and we loved everything about it. It was as an original experience for us and turned out to be a vey pleasant evening.
The food was great, lots of variety and prepared very well. Anna was very pleasant and explained each dish as it was served. There was enough time between courses to be comfortable with the next and if we needed anything Anna took care of it right away.
Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

this is a great place. set menu seafood or meat. both were excellent, as we shared. we brought our family here for our wedding party, and were treated right. seafood menu 60 $ meat 55 $. this is my second meal here so i was ready. do not eat the bread, as it wont leave room for the food. all items were great. i will certainly return. thanks for a great night

Went last night to Casa Fabesso, had to choose between the seafood menu and the meat menu — and after that, just see what comes!
Arrived early, and the place was closed, no entrance a half hour early — when we came back closer to our reservation time, music going, a couple in another table, friendly greeting, parking pass — on this Friday night, there were only two tables of two and one bigger table of 8 set up in the middle of the room — and it went from quietly romantic to raucously fun when they came in!
Lovely deconstructed bruschetta to start, followed by a crab cake, a scallop with mushrooms, perfectly cooked pasta with sea urchin, and when we were stuffed, a full portion of halibut, followed by a frozen amaretto dessert. We ate non stop from 7 – 10 pm — I must have missed something because i think there were 7 courses — amazing, lovely, fantastic meal — for $ 50! Add in a bottle of Nebiolo, a couple of glasses of house wine, a cappucino, and the bill was about $ 180 for two.
Great deal, great food, lovely simple type of cooking lots of olive oil drizzled, etc
Next time Im trying the meat!
You actually CAN customize the menu, especially if you have a group, but the experience of not knowing whats coming enxt around the corner — was a wonderful, amazing, memorable experience!
DEFINITELY highly recommended, especially if you are adventurous enough to be willing to try ANYTHING!

A little hidden gem tucked away in Reed Point Marina, off the Barnet Highway. This house or shack seems rather random on the parking lot overlooking the parked boats. It is anything but random: 1. You need to call ahead to RSVP (it is not some place you can drop in); 2. It is for authentic Italian cuisine lovers; 3. Chef Roberto creates «Degustazione» (tasting menus) based on seasonal availability and market freshness of all ingredients.
We came here for a friend’s birthday and we had the whole place to ourselves; a private dinner party and our own private chef! This requires a group reservation of 20 guests or more. The night we arrived, it was pouring rain and there was no view to be enjoyed. I would imagine on any other clear starry night, it would’ve much more romantic.
We were greeted by friendly service and while we mingled by the bar /​drinks area for some wine and hors d’œuvres: sardine, avocado and tomatoe burchetta.
The main dining room was arranged with a long table with tons of natural light and windows. The only strange part was the solo washroom was located inside the dining room. We joked whether we would hear the person doing their business. But I think we were much too noisy. Noise blocked. Good!
Tasting Menu: $ 55/​person (not including tax/​tip)
Let me being to say the portions are very generous. There was a lot of doggy bagging and I still don’t understand how some of the boys were able to finish everything off their plates.
Appetizers — Grilled calamari stuffed with ricotta, Caprese salad, Polenta with Baccala (dried cod): It is when fresh ripe tomatoes meet light tasting fresh cheese you realize you are off to a good start. The calamaris were tender and moist and the ricotta albumin was slightly sweet in taste. This was a heavy start and I realized I needed to pace myself if I wanted to make it to the main course.
First course — I feel like I am at a Chinese banquet where they serve you rice and noodles near the end. Only I’m in a pretty little house.
Tagliatelle in a meat sauce: the pasta had a fresh egg texture which you could taste the quality in the ingredients. Cooked al dente and layered with a rich, bold and savory meat sauce.
Risotto with prawns & leek: This creamy dish a lightly seasoned over individually al dente rice cooked at the right temperature. Compared to the Tagliatelle it lacked some kick.
Second course — Grilled tenderloin of pork, Braised beef, served with grilled vegetables: Honestly at this point I really couldn’t eat anymore. But it wasn’t much of a loss since the dish overall was very salty. The meat seemed a bit over cooked and the grilled vegetables wasn’t too impressive either.
Dessert — Tiramisu: Nicely presented as a cake! Perfect for the birthday girl. Ladyfinger cookies are dipped in coffee and layered with mascarpone and dusted with cocoa powder. A light but creamy dessert.
It was a lovely experience but I’m not sure how inclined I would be to go back given the enormous portions I can’t finish. Our visit will need to be pre-​planned.

I went here for a friend’s birthday party for an 8-​course meal. The whole restaurant was set up for her party of about 30 people — one long table in the dining room. I was very excited about this since I’ve never been there or had an 8-​course Italian meal before. I walked away full, but definitely not excited about the food.
The food missed the mark, the pasta was dry, the cod paste lacked flavor, the steak was over cooked. It was more quantity than it was quality, when it came to the dinner. I would have much rather had one great dish for the price I paid than the many bland dishes that were served.
Perhaps I should have ordered wine — they seem to have a nice selection.
