"My third visit to Fabbrica! Food is extremely inconsistent! The first time my fish was bad, the second time everything was good. The third time the beet salad was missing most of the ingredients listed and the pasta special was ABSOLUTELY TASTLESS! When the check for 2 people is $130, this is just unacceptable. Although my second experience was good, the last experience will be long remembered! Don't think that I'll return again!
Our waiter was fantastic!"

"It was my first time at Fabbrica and I really loved it! My pasta with mussels was so yummy, and my friend's pizza looked and tasted simply great! The place looks very cool and the atmosphere is very cozy. I saw that they have tables outside, so I'm definitely coming back for brunch!"

"I am very fond of Fabbrica. The food is always very good, and innovative while remaining traditional Italian. Have eaten there many times. However the service is always inadequate. ALways polite and friendly but slow, late, reactive. For example--bread brought to the table, water refilled, bar drinks served. Last week when I dined there--not a busy night--we waited over 30 minutes for our food to be served. Occasional apologies were offered--but nothing else to make up for our delayed food, e.g drink or dessert complementary. I think the restaurant is undermanaged as to dining room experience. The have been open long enough to have fixed this."

"Service is less than stellar, and this is consistent. I have been here before. I asked the man who seated us to check us in so I can get my OpenTable points. He clearly forgot when 30 minutes later I received a phone call from this very restaurant asking if I am still coming! The food is great, though. The poor service is a minor annoyance in a place like this."

"My main complaint is that my linguine w/ clams was gritty i.e., the clams had not been properly washed...so every bite tasted like sand. My salad was uninspired and the pizza was only OK. I feel bad saying this, but there is no need to go back."

"BRUNCH REVIEW only - It was not good. Way too savory for brunch. I had eggs and my husband and pancakes and we felt like we were eating either a dinner or a dessert. I will be back for dinner for sure, but not for brunch."

"Good food but nothing special compared with what's already available in Northside Williamsburg. I would go more often if the Menu prices were a little more affordable, otherwise I prefer to keep going to other in the area.
The design of the room is more like a nightclub with pop-acid graphic wall that in my opinion has nothing to do with the home made Italian food. Service could be improved hiring professional servants.Very good wine selection.
With an adjustment to the menu prices and the room design,this place has a lof of potential."

"First time there although the executive chef is very familiar because of his work at both Giano and PerBacco in Manhattan. Food is precious as expected and the personnel is attentive. Kind of expensive for a location in Williamsbourg with contemporary decor and communal tables but I will be back anyway in the future."
