Good but at those prices - it should be.
We learned of Fabios from our Austrian food guide (it had a commendably high score). The one caveat that must be stressed before I say any more, is that Fabios is a very “serious” restaurant. If you are looking for a slice of pizza or think you can bully the Maitre d’ then you will be very disappointed/upset. At Fabios the customer isn’t always king. You can try to book online…but you can’t. You can request that your booking application is considered but you need to receive confirmation before being certain. This is made quite clear. The other thing that is made quite clear, is that you will be seated where you are told you are sitting - not where you wish to be seated. This is also made crystal clear in the booking. The last thing that may cause you concern is the cost. Fabios isn’t exactly a bargain but then again - is any five star restaurant in any big city? Now on to our experience. We were seated indoors but next to a window, which for us was absolutely perfect. You could watch the world go by without the pitfalls of an outdoor table. The interior decor is classic modern Italian. You could be mistaken for being in Milan. Seating is well spaced and the furniture extremely comfortable. Service is polite, efficient and correct. In my humble opinion however, some of the food did not live up to its lofty price. The breads supplied were superb, with a good selection of well made products. Of our two starters my wife’s Fried Squid with Amalif Lime Dip was the best we have ever tasted. If your experience of squid has been chewy, borderline inedible, rubbish - this was an absolute triumph! The batter was light and crisp, the squid extremely tender and complemented perfectly by the light, slightly acidic but tasty dip. My braised baby octopus was OK but really quite bland. I haven’t eaten “moscardini” served in this way before and in my opinion, it didn’t do the octopus any favours. It was also under-seasoned. Things looked up with my main of beef, cooked and served to perfection, as were the accompanying rosemary potatoes. While my baby octopus was under-seasoned, my wife’s Ossobuco Milanese was, if anything, very over-seasoned. This was a shame as it was a very fine example of the dish, with the meat (as it should be) falling away from the bone. The best part (the marrow) delivered a delicious, creamy “hit”. The polenta served with it was a change from the usual saffron risotto but did compliment the dish well. Desserts were excellent, with my wife’s Millefoglie with creme patisserie, mini profiteroles and marinated figs being simply spectacular. My Tiramisu was more traditional and delivered with a bit of a flourish, the creamy aspect of this classic dessert pouring down the sides of the Savoiardi sponge, after the serving “ring” was removed. Absolutely no complaints about the desserts. From the wine list (with mark-ups reminiscent of my home city of London) a reasonable Primitivo was chosen, with the better bottle (from the producer Es) breaching the €200 mark which is (IMHO) way too much. The preprandial cocktail drinks (a classic Negroni for me, an excellent Prosecco for my wife) were a little over the expected price but very good nevertheless. I said service was excellent (and it was) but I would change one aspect - put my wine within reach. I am quite capable of pouring my own wine. I know that some do like to have their glasses “recharged” but not me. In conclusion, I would recommend Fabios, if you know what you are letting yourself in for. I was quite surprised when the bill arrived, as it was less than I anticipated. This was more to do with me “reining in” my wine expectations (after seeing the list) than the cost of the food. The faults (if they can be called that) were minor and were almost entirely down to seasoning. You can add salt - you cannot take it away. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a very special place, serving special food - you could do far worse than book a table at Fabios.

Unfriendly reception. I (an older lady) was alone and wanted to eat. I was given an uncovered table, although there were plenty of covered tables free. Then no service came for ages, while the presumably regulars were being courted at the covered tables. I felt absolutely unwelcome and so left after waiting in vain for a while. It seems that only Viennese society is welcome here.

We ate at Fabio's for the first time in many years. We had fond memories of the veal liver. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the meal. The veal liver was not tender and the sauce was too thick. For starters, we had stracciatella with asparagus, but there were only a few tiny pieces of asparagus. The crème brûlée and the apple tart for dessert were good. With such extremely high prices, we expect better quality.
Be the first to ReplyDisgusting Fabio
This place is run by an arrogant and uneducated savage who speaks to his customers as though they should kiss his feet for the privilege of being there. Avoid at any cost, unless you find yourself in a sado-masochist mood.

What a lovely restaurant to finish off a trip to Vienna. The food was delicious and service great. A great choice of starters and mains.
Be the first to ReplyCatastrophic food
We were very disappointed, not only by the bad food and the absolutely catastrophic presentation of the dishes, but also by the prices which were in no relation to the bad food!!
Be the first to ReplyTop quality, unfortunately now completely overpriced, the paint is coming off.
Excellent quality of the food, very good wine selection, but the price-performance ratio is no longer right, there are now better alternatives in Vienna.
Be the first to ReplyA great classic in Vienna
Fabios is of course a classic in Vienna's city centre. The bar area (renovated some time ago) is ideal for an aperitif, where you really feel like you've been transported to Italy. As for the food, it's worth noting that it's exactly what you'd expect from such a restaurant: high quality, but without any major surprises. What you find on the plate is exactly what you'd expect from the menu. But that's a positive thing, because the quality is good. Overall, of course, it falls into the "trendy restaurant" category, but it's always worth a visit!

You get a good reception and your outerwear is hung in the wardrobe. The food is very delicious and the meat is tender. The tiramisu is really good, with a delicious coffee taste. The service from our waiter, Alberto. Could have been better. We didn't get the opportunity to order more wine or coffee etc. So we didn't buy that.
Be the first to ReplyRobbery plain and simple
This is plain and simple a rip off. The food is served in microscopic portions and its not even good. The prices are absolute insanity. A Ceasar salad for instance is 29EUR. Honestly I cannot understand how people can be mislead believing that is actually a good restaurant. The waiters are unfriendly and if you only order a bottle of water (9EUR) then you are looked down upon. So sad that this type of restaurant still exists in this day and age.
Be the first to ReplyNice elegant simple ambience, excellent Italian cuisine and service
I visited Fabios during my last family visit in Vienna. I saw this restaurant some years ago when spending time in Vienna, but could not get a table on short notice being it was fully booked. During my last visit in February and having read some of the negative comments, I wasn't planning to make a reservation. After having viennese cuisine for a number of days i decided I would risk visiting this restaurant. My experience there was excellent from the very first minute, the welcoming, the table, food was excellent wine and service. I left commenting that if I was living in Vienna I would have been a regular.....

Portions were terribly small but the prices were terribly high. I ordered Caesar salad with sliced chicken breast but there was no Caesar dressing and the chicken breast was not freshly cooked and my wife ordered gnocchi which was the smallest portion we ever experienced. Then finally when we asked for our check the staff disappeared and we forewarned them that we were on a time schedule and needed to leave promptly and the restaurant was not busy at 5:00 PM. My recommendation would be pass on this establishment and there are much better restaurants in the area.

We are good guests of this restaurant, at least I thought the would be welcome but after last dinner, not so sure anymore. It was a horrible experience, I got a broken wineglass with a hole in the middle( to be honest I have never seen something like that) So when I startet to drink the wine spilled on my clothes, not only I wear nice clothes I was sitting during dinner wet on the table. It was a shame, nevertheless this things can happen even in those restaurants. But the worse thing was the reaction of the service personal, close to nothing, they were just shocked about the glass because it looked kind of funny but no excuses that I was completely wet and this in the beginning of the dinner. So thank you very much for this very uncomfortable experience.

I had reserved today on 6:00 Pm by phone because i couldnt do it online and the person ( mr) on the phone told that he can confirm at 9:30PM. When we went there they told that they dont have table and they canceled. Very very bed person. He let us out at 9:30 Pm and we had to manage to find a restaurant at this time. Very bed service. We will never come again!!!!
Be the first to ReplyDiscrimination of Ukrainians in Austria :(
Discrimination of Ukrainians! The worst service ever! I couldn’t even imagine that people can openly show how they hate Ukrainians and support Russian aggressive actions. I’m not saying all the staff is the same, I’m saying only about one person who is a manager and hostess at the same time (I guess). We have been visiting this place for several times and every time it’s said to be fully booked. But when I ask my Austrian friend to call them and book a table , he managed to find it immediately. Today we came there and again asked for a table, this manager said NO! We asked whether we could seat for only 1 hour with kids , really quickly and it’s unbelievable that every time we hear negative answer. He saw we were speaking Ukrainian , opened the door and said : IT WAS YOUR LAST TIME HERE, no bookings for all of you in this place never ever, go away right now and demonstratively shouted while everyone was watching this picture. I’ve never experienced such kind of attitude , my parents also didn’t . Today, when there is a war in Ukraine , all NORMAL people try to support us, not hate. It was stressed and offensive. I don’t advice visiting this place, only if you are Russian , maybe you’ll manage to eat there !
Be the first to ReplyRude. Do not go there.
We got refused the entrance because of a simple misunderstanding. The manager, overly agitated, literally kicked my family and I out because he felt offended by a misuse of an English saying, knowing we were tourists with a basic level of English. Just because it is situated in the luxury quartier of Vienna does not entitle servers to be rude and select their customers. This is unacceptable and a shame for the industry, especially the Michelin Guide. The said manager should switch jobs. This kind of attitude is not representative of Vienna's culture. There are other Italian restaurants closely that are worth a visit, for a cheaper price and a better service.
Be the first to ReplyWorst place! Only enter if you are wearing a Chanel!
Today I was in this restaurant with a friend for dinner, and we were received in the worst possible way. First, the receptionist looked me up and down analyzing my clothes (I was dressed in black pants, black high-heeled boots, and a polyester parka winter coat) and he simply said that it was already full, that there was no room for me. There were several empty tables. He didn't hear my question about whether it was possible to make a reservation, opened the door, and told me to leave without any politeness. Like I'm contaminating the place. I have never been treated that way anywhere in Vienna. But even if I had all the gold in the world I would never go back to a place like this. The attendants simply think they can select customers by the way they dress. They should put a sign at the entrance: "Only enter if you are wearing a Chanel!

I went here for a dinner with 7 business contacts. I was a bit surprised when they booked an Italian restaurant but they looked after us so well, I was very impressed. I ordered the Turbot special with cauliflower crème and it was brilliant. I will go back here with my wife when I next take her to Vienna.

Love This Place
We’re enjoying our dinner at this restaurant very much. The ambience is terrific. It’s an elegant Italian dining experience.
We just finished one of the best carpaccio‘s we’ve ever had in the world. Seriously. The calamari was very good. Not great but very good.
We both had pasta dishes. Honestly, both are fantastic. He’s issues are better than Italy. We’ve been to Italy many times…
I highly recommend this restaurant.
