Fabio's Ristorante Italiano

DD’d Fabio’s this evening for the first time and I have to say, the penne vodka and bruschetta are easily the best I have ever tasted. Absolutely DIVINE!! Keep. It. Up!!! 😍🤤

The most consistently delicious takeout in Charleston. They never miss! The burrata salad and gnocchi bolognese are amazing.
And always packaged/presented so beautifully.

Best Italian food in Charleston. Big portions and always get my order right even with substitutions every time. We order from here once a week and they never disappoint!

Great place for authentic Italian food. Having almost 6 years working throughout Italy their burrata, homemade rigatoni, vodka sauce and tiramisu are right on the money as far as the nuances of taste, quality and presentation. Fabios is great and Carlos, cameriere del ristorante was fabulous and so handsome. We will be back...

The chicken breast in the Chicken Parmigiana is terrible. It's not actual chicken breast it's highly processed pressed meat. The sauce was straight out of a can. I took a few bites and threw it away. The risotto balls tastes like they were filled with hamburger helper, seriously. Also thrown away. How this place has the ratings they do can not be real. Never again

My fiancé and I ordered takeout, never having tried this place. Seemed a little pricey - which when the quality of most Italian places around Charleston ain't very good made me a bit unsure. It was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. The BEST Italian I've had.
We shared the Bruschetta for an app and it was delicious - covered in cheese, a sweet balsamic, tomatoes, and fresh spinach. Even after a 15 minute drive it had a very satisfying crunch.
I had the lasagna - outstanding. 6 layers - which were cooked so soft that you can cut thru it like butter and melt it in your mouth.
It made me make noises my fiancé hasn't heard, and feel things I didn't know I could.
In all seriousness, my Fiancé had the Duck Tagliatelle and she loved it.
For desert we split the Limoncello - mosit, light and fluffy, not too sweet, with tiny white chocolate shavings across the top and served with fresh cut strawberries.
A spectacular meal - and the fact that they added in a big bag of flavorful herb and garlic bread *chefs kiss*
The care and quality put into this food were outstandingly high and obvious.
Can't wait to enjoy their food again.

I absolutely love Fabio’s not only is the food fantastic the owners are awesome! I highly recommend this place for the best Italian in town. My son and I are gluten free and it’s so nice to be able to get pasta out that is gf. Can’t recommend this place enough!

I really can't say enough about Fabio's. It is the best Italian food in Charleston, by FAR. Karl, Fabio, and Olga treat us like family. Order the penne a la vodka (or anything, really), you won't be disappointed! Thanks for always taking such great care of us!

Placed an order two hours in advance. Received confirmation. When I arrived the man at the counter said they did not have my order. I should him my order on my phone. He said it was not on his screen. Ok, I asked if I could get food and pay him. He said no I had to call Door Dash to place an order. Very interesting business model. I certainly will never return. Horrible customer service.

Place an order 2 hours in advance. Received confirmation. When I arrived to pick up my order the person at the counter said he did not have my order and I would need to call Door Dash. I asked if I could just get food and pay him. “No” he said my only option was to deal with door dash. Very interesting business model. I certainly will never order from the again. Horrible customer service

Quaint family owned authentic Italian! Jacki was our server (the chef’s daughter)… outstanding personality and explained the menu very well with delicious recommendations!
Had to try the tiramisu after our meal and it was a delicious fruity twist… save room for it!
We reheated leftovers the next day… was still fabulous!

Saddest bolognese I ever had. Pasta overcooked, dry, flavorless. Take out presentation was extremely poor. I wouldn’t recommend nor come back myself. Almost 25$ for this and I think it could had been better.
