This was our second time at the restaurant and it was amazing. We live a ways away but we love it so much we will continue to keep going back. The service is amazing the food is so good that you will have a hard time deciding what to get every time. I didn't get the best pics because I was to busy enjoying the food and company at dinner read more

A great traditional restaurant with authentic Italian dishes. Excellent service. Don't skip the Housemade gelato before you leave. They also cater. We showed up without reservations, and they found us a table, but I recommend reserving ahead of time. We took the waitress's recommendation on the pasta. It was outstanding. Complimentary bread and shallow dish of olive oil and vinegar brought to the table. This was also so good. We ordered: Gli Antipasti | Appetizers - BURRATA with ROASTED COMPARI TOMATOES - Burrata + pomodori Campari arrostiti + pesto + Olio EVO (Burrata imported from Italy roasted in wood-fired oven along with tomatoes + basil + EVOO.) Pesto is made with pistachios. Absolutely delicious - POLPETTE DELLA NONNA - Meatballs made with Nonna's (grandma's) recipe. Also very good! Pizzas - DIAVOLA - San Marzano pomodoro + mozzarella + salame piccante + Olio EVO (San Marzano tomato sauce + mozzarella + spicy salami + EVOO). Son said their pizza was amazing. Wood fired. Handmade Pasta - RAVIOLI AL BRASATO x2 - Con crema burro e salvia (Braised short-rib ravioli with a buttercream sage sauce) a subtle herbed rich cream sauce over fresh pasta filled with braised short rib. Great flavor and filling. I could tell the pasta was Housemade on taste. Le Insalate | Salads - PERA | PEAR - Rucola + pere + pomodorini + mandorle tostate vinaigrette al limone (Arugula + pears + cherry tomatoes + toasted almonds + shaved parmesan + lemon vinaigrette. Daughter loved this salad. Presented so well. Looked amazing. We had no room for dessert. We'll have to come back for some espresso and treats. Patio seating available or table and bar seating inside at a cozy spot that feels very welcoming. read more

The food is EXCELLENT and FRESH. I love the fact, he imports all of his ingredients from Italy, so it doesn't have GMO or Monsanto poison in it like most foods have in the US especially the flour it doesn't cause gluten resistance issues. The owner is very friendly as is the staff. I drive 20 minutes past several pizza places from where I live in Surprise to get there. It's well worth the drive If you want quality Fire Oven Pizza. read more

Ehhhhhh. It's not my favorite but it's not bad. I think the service is the highlight of the experience. The staff is nice and organized. The food is okay but pricey for what it is. The vibe inside was a bit off because there was pop music that didn't really match the Italian vibe theyre going for. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere and wonderful customer service. Food we had: penne pasta with meat sauce, papardelle with short rib ragu, and seafood platter with pasta, vanilla gelato with chocolate chunks and tiramisu. We loved it all. We will come back. We were concerned that the place was too intimate of a place for our family with two toddlers but they treated us wonderfully. Thank you!! read more

The food is always delicious, we won't eat Italian anywhere rise. They have a Wednesday special for table side carbonara and it is brilliant! We're supposed had their spinach ravioli with a walnut cream sauce that absolutely blew our expectations out of the water! Thank you so much for the great service and experience! read more

Fabio On Fire - Spinach ravioli and the pappardelle short rib ragu - Pizza Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

What an amazing find in North Peoria. We came here with a group of friends and enjoyed incredible authentic Italian dishes. The pasta was made in house and the sauces from scratch. The service was incredible. Cozy dining room. The gelatos were also house made. Definitely worth your time. read more

We didn't have reservation and went there on Saturday night, so waited for 45ish mins. Overall the food was 4/5, but the service was 5/5. The owner introduced the menu seriously and asked multiple times about our experience. My favorite was the pizza which I forgot the name but might be called "fabio" something... The burrata and mortadella was so good and the pizza dough was also amazing. The bolognese was ok, and margherita was good but not wowing me. They treated as a dessert and though we were full but still thought it was good, the cream was light and not too sweet. read more

I love this spot! We have never had a bad meal at Fabio on Fire. From the pizzas and pastas to the gelato, nothing disappoints here. We always enjoy the ambiance, either inside or on the patio, and are always met with top-notch service. My favorite dish here is the bolognese. It is hearty and filling and I typically get two meals out of it thanks to their generous portions. We really enjoy this lovely local gem. read more

Fabio on Fire is a small, casual Italian spot offering pastries, gelato, paninis, and pizza. Unlike their other location, this isn't a traditional sit down restaurant with wait staff. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. The service is great, and the paninis are amazing. I love their pizzas too, but the paninis really steal the show. My favorite is the Piccante. The mild, creamy cheese paired with sweet caramelized onions and spicy salami creates the perfect balance of flavor. I highly recommend checking it out. It is so worth it. read more

Felt kind of stuffy walking into this place... almost uncomfortable from the stares. The hostess finally came and asked if we had reservations...2x... to which I replied (both times) - no. Finally seated... waited about 15 minutes before someone came to greet us and take our order. Ambiance- honestly not my favorite cup of tea- was very loud.... could barely hear the music. Food: check out the pictures attached for what we ordered and what we rated it... average place... pizza and meatballs were the highlight of our order. Would I come here again- no. Feeling slightly uncomfortable can change the mood of an entire evening- including dinner. read more

Made a review 2 years ago, had a bad experience then. Decided to give it another try - worse experience than the first. Our server was rude. Barely engaged with my husband and I, did not refill our waters when empty, did not bring additional bread when requested. Overall, felt like we were more of an inconvenience to him than a customer. Food was okay, nothing special. Can confidently say we will never be back and have let our friends/neighbors know that they should not support this business. read more

Lovely atmosphere, the kitchen is really cool. Haven't tried the food yet but seems like it's a popular spot

From the first glance at the charcuterie board to the final bite of dessert, this meal felt like a celebration of classic Italian comfort food elevated with quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Service was exceptional - from wine recommendations to always having full water glasses. The evening began with an impressive charcuterie board featuring a generous assortment of cured meats, cheeses, olives, and antipasti. The variety was outstanding, offering everything from delicate prosciutto and salami to creamy spreads and tangy marinated vegetables. The board was beautifully arranged and encouraged sharing, conversation, and plenty of flavor exploration. The butternut squash ravoli were served in a rich cream sauce, it was indulgent and satisfying. The pasta was tender and well-filled, while the velvety sauce added a luxurious touch without overwhelming the dish. It was a hit. The orecchiette pasta showcased a more rustic side of Italian cooking. Combined with broccolini, spicy sausage, tomatoes, and a dusting of Parmesan, the dish offered a nice balance of savory, fresh, and earthy flavors. The pasta was perfectly cooked and hearty enough to stand on its own as a memorable entrée. The pizza delivered everything diners hope for from a traditional Italian pie: a beautifully blistered crust, vibrant tomato sauce, and generous toppings. The combination of olives, artichokes, mushrooms, and cured meats created layers of flavor, while the char on the crust suggested a properly hot oven and careful attention to technique. Dessert provided a fitting finale. The tiramisu was light and creamy with a generous dusting of cocoa, offering the classic coffee-and-mascarpone flavors that make it a perennial favorite. The diplomatico was a cream-filled pastry added a contrasting texture with its flaky layers and sweet filling, making it difficult to choose a favorite between the two. The atmosphere was warm and intimate, with low lighting that creates a comfortable dining experience. Portions were generous, presentation was appealing, and the menu demonstrated a commitment to traditional Italian flavors. This restaurant excels at delivering authentic Italian comfort food with quality ingredients and generous portions. The standout charcuterie board, flavorful pasta dishes, well-executed pizza, and exceptional desserts combine to create a memorable dining experience that would be easy to recommend for both casual dinners and special occasions. read more

Amazing the selection of dinner items. We were a party of 3 and this was our first time trying their food. The server we had was so awesome. She wanted to know what food allergies we had at our table and was able to assist us with the food. Restaurant was very clean and staff was friendly and helpful. I loved my ravioli stuffed with short ribs and sauce. So delicious read more

The food was amazing, creative menu. Service was friendly. Large portions, enjoyed the leftovers the next day!

We were craving Italian and found Fabio On Fire on Yelp. Since we'd never been there before, we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and with the nice weather, we chose to sit outside. The tables were a bit close together, and there wasn't much in the way of decor, but it had a relaxed vibe. Our server was super busy--seemed like he was handling all the tables--but he was still really attentive. We ordered the Calamari Fritti with Zucchini, Lobster Ravioli, Salsiccia E Funghi Pizza, and Capricciosa Pizza, plus some gelato for dessert. The calamari was a little small and crunchier than we expected, but everything else was delicious and nicely plated. Glad we found this place--definitely coming back to try more! read more

My buddy and I stopped by Fabio on Fire | Pizzeria Italiana for dinner. Located in a shopping center, parking won't be a problem. The name of their restaurant makes me think of the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Fabio commercials back in the day. IYKYK. Fabio was definitely on fire. Service (4.5/5): We were seated close to the open kitchen and our waitress did a great job throughout. She was friendly, checked in on us, and gave us recommendations when we asked. She's also a Michigan fan so you know that's a winner in my book. Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much a traditional neighborhood Italian restaurant. What I expected in the 'burbs. There aren't a ton of tables but it's homey and welcoming. Drinks (N/A): I had an Arnold Palmer so not much to report here. Food (4/5): I had the braised rib ravioli which was delicious. The braised rib and the pasta were tender and the pasta sauce was creamy. They complimented each other well. My only complaint is that the portions size was relatively small and overpriced for what you get. But still delicious. I finished things off with the gelato where I was able to pick two flavors. I went with the watermelon and the cookies and cream. The watermelon was delicious and you can never go wrong with cookies and cream. Perhaps my favorite ice cream flavor of all time. If you're looking for a solid Italian meal in Peoria, get lit at Fabio on Fire! read more

Tried Fabio's for the first time. I definitely understand the hype. The artesian style sandwiches and bread were amazing. The serving size is also pretty large and very shareable. Really small restaurant mostly meant for takeout but definitely worth the trip. They also had a ton of gelato flavors which just looked amazing. Next time we're going to try dessert. read more

Love the food. However 2 weeks ago we ordered Doordash and had our order cancelled 30 minutes after we placed it! The staff claimed they didn't receive it but door dash adamantly stated it was cancelled by the restaurant and they could see it on their end- I emailed about this and no response. Tonight we called ahead and asked how late they took to go orders And they told us 830. We called at 815 to place an order and they told us their kitchen was closed. Same person we spoke to 1 hour prior. We called ahead to make sure to plan our dinner time. I consider this poor service now that it's happened twice and I felt the first time we were lied to and it was never addressed. Food can be great but if customer service is bad, it makes the overall experience poor. Very disappointing - as we love the restaurant and we live right in this neighborhood and love supporting our local businesses. read more

Authentic takes on Italian dishes that show a high degree of sophistication and understanding of this cuisine. The CA sea scallop and white bean purée was to die for. Grandma's meatballs were pitch perfect. Pasta was perfectly cooked. My highest recommendation. read more

Hubby was looking for places we hadn't tried in the area and found this Italian restaurant not too far from home. We arrived at 4...they open at 4...and were the first ones seated. When you first walk in, it doesn't look too big, but after looking around, there were a few different seating areas (including outside). The pizza oven is front and center, plus the kitchen is open, so we were able to see the chef cooking. When we sat down, we were immediately brought Italian bread with olive oil/balsamic for dipping. So good!!!! Our server, Maurizio, was funny and friendly. I ordered the Gnocchi Bolognese...the gnocchi were like tiny pillows, literally melting in my mouth. The sauce was wonderful and the gnocchi so light, it was delicious! Hubby got the Lasagna, which he adored. The sauce tasted like Nonna's been cooking it all day and the pastas were definitely so fresh. We decided to try one of the pizzas, so ordered the Salsiccia E Funghi Pizza to go. We each tried a taste of it after getting home and am so glad we did. Since it was an early dinner, have a feeling we'll be digging into the pizza a little later...LOL! We're really looking forward to coming back soon!! read more

I made a reservation for 2 of us for a Friday dinner. Best way to kick off the weekend and distress. It was so so hard to choose what to eat, everything looks so good from the menu. I showed up right on time for the reservation and they were not ready. I had to wait 10 mins, no problem. My friend was late anyways. When I sat in the other room with the bar, it was very cute and cozy. Read the menu again until my friend got here. I ordered an ice tea and beef short ribs raviolis and butternut sauce. They give you complementary bread & butter. Ravioli Al Brasato (Short-Rib Ravioli) - Braised short-rib ravioli with a buttercream sage sauce. WOW, I want a second order of this amazing dish. I got hazelnut gelato for my dessert. YUM! Service was ok. Friendly when you can get their attention. read more

I conspicuously noticed that was indeed Fabio spinning pizza dough near the wood fired oven upon entering. I immediately had the sentient to know I wanted pizza. Quick glance at the pizza menu and we ordered the Americano pizza. I thought the pizza may have been a little undercooked. It lacked crisp on the outside, and was a little floppy in the core. I did enjoy the pasta dish. House made pasta is unequally always a treat. The sausage was flavoured delicious. Decent Italian food overall. Solid 4 stars imo. read more

Great menu and great tasting food always. Service is always outstanding. Great Italian variety.

This was our third visit and we've been pleased each time! The food is truly authentic and house made which is hard to come by these days. We are big fans of the gnocchi bolognese and the tagliatelle bolognese. Our kids love the pizza of course. Service can be slightly scattered but overall everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Only reason not 5 stars is that the seating is a bit crowded and the consistency of the gnocchi has been variable - from the best I've ever had to moderately good. Nevertheless a go to spot for our family! read more

Came in for some gelato without friends. Their flavors are so yummy and elevated, without being too sweet. The cups are smaller, but they do not level the gelato across the top, but they top it off with a heaping mound of gelato. Service always just as sweet. Highly recommend their pizza and paninis. They will make you paninis to go so you may make your own creations at home. read more

Today was our first time getting pizza from Fabio's. It was horrible. The crust was burnt as well as the entire bottom of the pizza. I guess it's a good thing I didn't select well done when ordering or the entire pie would have been black. If that wasn't bad enough, when you picked up the slice to eat the crust was so flimsy all of the cheese and pepperoni fell off onto the plate. Save yourself the trouble and select a different pizza place. Save yourself read more
