Highly recommend! The owner is very nice as all Italian people! The food was gorgeous and not so expensive! Rigattoni with spicy tomato sauce and buratta was delicious!

The best homemade pasta dishes (pappardelle w/black truffle sauce & sausage and rigatoni w/spicy tomato sauce & sausage) we've ever had, hands-down. The tiramisu was perfection, too. /10 experience. Came back again 2 days later (this time for rigatoni w/bolognese & burrata and fusilli w/basil pesto & burrata), and again, incredible.

I had an incredible dining experience at FABIOS last night! The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly made the night unforgettable was the talented chef, Michael. Every dish was prepared with such care and attention to detail-each bite was bursting with flavor. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich, flavorful sauces, everything was top-notch. If you're looking for an amazing pasta spot, this is it. Thank you, Michael, for an exceptional meal, I'll definitely be back!

This place is honestly the BEST pasta around Los Angeles! Every single time the quality never stops impressing me and all the new people I bring. My go to favorite is the papardelle pasta with black truffle and tiger shrimp and if that doesn’t make you fall in love then I can’t help you. Michael makes the experience here overwhelmingly great. The seating outside is a couple tables and chairs and is best accessed by walking but there is a paid parking next door for 15 dollars. Don’t skip this staple of Venice and come fall in love!

A place for an authentic Italian culinary experience on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Fresh hand made pasta, fresh ingredients done the Italian way, at a no frills al fresco stall along Venice Beach. When we arrived hungry for some pasta, we were so warmly greeted by the server. He gave us explanations of the menu and made suggestions for daily specials. Service impeccable. The pasta was fresh, texture and flavor on point. Honestly, can’t go wrong. With giant balls of burrata that coated the noodles with creamy yumminess, it hit just right.

FABIOS is a true hidden gem near the Venice boardwalk! This yummy, hole-in-the-wall spot serves incredible pasta. Every dish is bursting with flavor, and the food is so satisfying—it’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back. It’s the perfect stop after a stroll or bike ride along the boardwalk. I always bring friends and relatives here when they visit, and it never disappoints. Fabio, the owner, is from Sardinia, so he knows what’s up with Italian food and hospitality. And he’s an absolute sweetheart. He doesn’t just make amazing food; he serves it with genuine care and a side of life wisdom. His warmth and compassion make the experience even more special. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check out Fabio’s. It’s the kind of place that feeds both your stomach and your soul. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic pasta - make your own combinations and both of the ones we tried were 10/10 (the Sausage Fusilli and bolognese pappardelle). Would highly recommend!

The reviews you see for Fabios are representative of what to expect. The food is delicious and there are tons of options. I went with the Spaghetti Bolognaise which was probably the best I’ve ever had. Very convenient location too for those visiting the skate park area of Venice beach. Strong recommendation
