We visited Fabio,s while saying in Hermanus at the end of March 2013. What a little gem of a place. Great location, very authentic Italian,interior and excellent food and value. The owner, Fabio, came over to our table and talked to us while we were there, which showed great customer service. Would definelty recommend Fabios if you are visiting Hermanus.

My friend and I regularly slip away mid-week for a nice wine and dine. Fabio's has quickly become a regular spot for excellent food and great atmosphere. The pizza is absolutely gorgeous. I had the Filleto and added some mascarpone, onion and rocket. My friend always has the Gnocchi. At a previous visit I really enjoyed the chef's signature pasta... More

Had lunch here whilst on a whale watching holiday, we had bruschetta and then pizza both of which were fresh and tasty. We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and would go back if ever back in Hermanus. The service was good, and food tasty and good value.

we had the most wonderful evening at Fabios ! it never disappoints! we visit the town fairly often and always make a point of grabbing dinner at Fabios. We used to go to the other Italian spot in town called Rossi's but fabios ingredients and quality of food cant be matched. Price is slightly higher but food is top draw.

Fabio's Ristorante is a little off the main track but once we found it I was not sorry. A rustic authentic Italian retuarant where my whole family was able to find something succulent. Kids devoured the pizzas (which are made on a crispy thin base), my wife had the fish and I had a pasta. Food was delicous and it... More
