"Fabio’s Restaurant in Old Town has been a family favourite for nigh on thirty years, since my parents first took me there as a kid. Every experience was a special moment, it was always a treat to dine there. Gianni, and his attentive team, treats us as royalty and still gives us attention despite their regular, enormous amount of covers. Always an ‘on-the-house’ aperitif offered to close the meal. As for the food, I recommend sticking close to the traditional structure for Italian dining: • Antipasti: a couple of small shared dishes, such as: ≈ insalata di mozzarella e pomodori ≈ insalata di mare ≈ trio fritti • Followed by Primo (1° course : pasta dishes served as starter portions especially, the fettuccine: ≈ fettuccine al salmone ≈ fettuccine all’ortolana • Secondo (2° : go for a special if possible, the fish is usually a standout, or: ≈ pollo alla’cacciatora ≈ filetto rossini filetto alla boscaiola • Contorno (sides : usually comes with the main so no need to order separately • Dolce (dessert : panna cotta or banana di fabio followed by espresso latte digestivo, limoncello being a personal favourite Suitable for: ≈ Romantic meals, family, parties, solo dining ≈ IBS-friendly, just ask for alternatives and they’ll accommodate ≈ Portion sizes appropriate to Italian meal structures ≈ Vegetarians"

The ambience in this restaurant was just superb. Tuesday evening and packed! That tells you something! My food wasn’t exceptional yet tasty enough. The service was truly excellent. Engaging, personable and with a smile at all times. All 12 of us enjoyed our visit.

We went to Fabios last Thursday as a work team, for our managers retirement. We're a remote team, so colleagues travelled from Scotland, Sheffield, Wakefield, Northampton and Bournemouth. I can't thank the management and staff there enough for making the evening so memorable and special for everyone, but especially for the retiree! Everyone said the food was lovely and complimented the warm, friendly atmosphere and the fantastic service. Keep up the great with Fabios!

After not being able to get to a pre booked restaurant because of floods we had to make some quick decisions as to where to try for an 85th birthday celebration. The first we tried was Fabios in Old Town Swindon and much to our surprise they said they would try their best to fit us in but we might have to wait a while after we arrived.

The food was delicious, the staff extremely efficient a...
