This little gem offered a break from all the pasta we'd been eating all week in Italy. The food was excellent, fresh and their menu offered something for everyone in my group (6). The staff was friendly and efficient. Would definitely return next time I'm in Rome! Ambiance is relaxed with indoor and outside seating read more

Great for healthy food!! But if they tell you two hour wait just wait on the side as you will have a table in 5min!!

The service was fine and so was the food. However , when the the check arrived we were charged the persone convience fee for 4 people, when it was just 3 of us. They quickly realized their error and corrected it. As we were leaving the restaurant another family approached us and let us know that there bill was also padded with 3 additional water bottles that they didn't order. Just beware and check the receipts before paying read more

Absolutely a breath of something else ! Don't get me wrong , I love pasta too,but sometimes you just want vegan or vegetarian options. I was very happy with my vegan salad! read more

After plenty of days of gelato and pizza, it was sooo nice to come across a clean, healthy spot! The workers were kind and knowledgable. I started with a juice full of greens, carrot and ginger. Strong ginger flavor, but just what my body needed! I proceeded to ask the employee to make me a sandwich of his choice on multigrain with smoked salmon and no dairy. He put on some vegetables and pesto. Thick sandwich too! Very clean and delicious. They even have different kinds of marinated tofu. Super close to the Vatican too!! read more

Good healthy sandwiches and good juice! Grabbed some food here before touring the Vatican. A nice change from eating pizza and pasta everyday! I was starting to get sick of carbs so I'm glad I came here. #3 with turkey on wheat (4 stars): Good mozzarella! Good sandwich. Apple, pineapple, lemon, ginger juice (5 stars): Refreshing! Just needed more ice. I notice juice bars in Italy don't really add ice, but it's so hot!! ATMOSPHERE Only about 3 seats on a bar table so but we got lucky and snagged them! SERVICE Everyone was so nice here. Menu was in Italian and they translated it for us. Great service. read more

This is our favorite sandwich place in Rome! We first discovered Fa-Bio in 2014, and had some of the best vegan sandwiches with tofu slices that we have ever had. On this trip we were passing through Rome for just one day, and we purposely booked a hotel near Fa-Bio so that we could eat there again, AND get sandwiches for the long flight home. Turns out that Fa-Bio has moved down the block, and is now located in a larger space at 71 Via Germanico. They now have outdoor sidewalk seating, which is a great addition. The owner is a wonderful human being, and he took great care of us. We highly recommend the vegan sandwiches with smoked tofu and also the basil tofu. We only wish we could buy this same brand of tofu in the United States, but it is available only in Europe. read more

These were some of the best (and most interesting) sandwiches we had in Europe. The staff there were extremely friendly and took the time to run us down their entire menu (we were there on a weekday in the off season though). Amazing value though; 12.50 for two sandwiches and a medium juice. A fun side-note: we bought lunch here and then took it to wait in line for the Vatican museum. Definitely the way to go. You get an excellent sack lunch and don't mind the wait as much and save some money from not having to eat the "blessed" food inside the museum. ;-) read more

Eating healthy is very important to me, trying to find a healthy place in Italy is a bit of a challenge. I am glad we found this place! It's exactly what you need if you are feeling low on vitamins and just need fresh vegetables. They make fresh pressed juices with any combination you would like. The sandwiches were amazing! We ordered the tuna sandwich with tomatoes and avocados. The service was so sweet! They offer good recommendations and are very accommodating if you have any food allergies. Definitely recommend!! read more

Re Bio - tuna sandwiches on whole wheat!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Rome, RM

This place was great. Everything people said about it was true- great sandwiches that are good for you and make you feel healthy. Kind people who serve you had help you with the menu. They aren't open for as many hours, so you'll have to plan wisely to get here to get your sandwich- that's the only thing. We went by a couple of times and they were either closed or closing- and then finally we hit them when they were open. But it's worth getting over here. read more

4.5 The name was enough for me to step in. I keed. Sorta. But, in all honesty, my good friend told me that after my adventures at and around The Vatican, there was but one place I should stop in for lunch and a good recharge: Fa-bio. And she was so so right. This is the sort of place I never would have found without a local guide. It's my hope that people using their Yelp app (the owner was vaguely aware of it) when in the area will see what an awesome shop they have on their hands. First thing you should know: the storefront is tiny and the locals/regulars do not suffer f00ls. I don't blame them. If this was my local go-to, I wouldn't be pleased with interlopers gumming up the works. That said, for as pushy and impatient as the local regulars were/are, the fellas behind the counter couldn't have been more gracious, patient and kind. Their good nature would make me want to recommend Fa-bio on it's own. They switched from Italian to flawless English effortlessly. It embarrassed me how good they were at my native language and I could only grunt like a caveman in theirs. The fact that they have a fantastic product is icing on the cake. You come here for healthy take away. Fa-bio boasts organic fare at affordable prices. After a few days of overdoing it in Rome, you'll be extremely happy you came here. They have an extensive menu of juices and sandwiches... but you know me. If I have the option of doing my own thing, I'm going to take it. Plus, I am a food genius, a pairing master. It's a gift. I started with the juice. I made my own with orange, lime and pineapple. Citrus + tropical always = delicious. My drink was a frothy, sweet delight. To make it a bit less sugary, you could add cucumber... but, why? My sandwich was just as delicious: on sesame, I asked for prosciutto, mozzarella, cabbage, tomato, arugula, olive oil, and salt & pepper. It was another taste touchdown from yours truly. Even the owners were impressed at my ability to combine ingredients to make delicious things. Rather than leaving, I took at seat at the small bar and lapsed into pure gastro bliss. Noting that I wasn't from there, the owner asked me how I heard of his shop. I told him that a friend informed me but I also told him I worked at Yelp and that people loved what he was doing online. I showed him his reviews and he seemed genuinely happy with the discovery. Pleased that I'd eaten well and spread the gospel, I Ubered myself out of there and onto my next adventure. Please believe, though, a return trip to Rome will find me here for take away. The product is clean, delicious, affordable, and ticks every traveling American's sensibilities (and more than a few locals). read more

Pretty good healthy sandwiches and fresh juice! Got a quick bite to eat before more touring in Italy of course! Place is really small, all they have is seating at the bar with 3 chairs pretty much, we got them luckily but it's more of an order out type place! Got the #1 with prosciutto, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato etc. and I chose an olive bread my sandwich bread was super hard so that's one thing I didn't like and the whole thing kept falling apart!! Still did the trick, but I wish I picked one with deli meat instead everything was too tough for me (3 stars) Custom apple, pineapple, ginger, and lemon juice (4 stars)- This needed ice or to be chilled somehow, but tasted like it almost did at home, which was nice! read more

We tried Fabio for lunch - the service is very attentive and there are lots of options to choose from. I opted for the make your own sandwich and had a (basil) tofu sandwich on focaccia bread with some vegetables and an artichoke spread. It was the best sandwich I've had thus far in Italy, but that's not saying too much. We also had a smoothie and I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't very cold and was room temperature which was not appetizing on a hot day. They also have small pastas, salads, and wraps available. The shop is very small and has a bar with three stools available if you opt to eat there. read more

I was getting really tired of heavy Italian food so I was thrilled to find this place. It's very small but the shop owners are extremely friendly and speak good English. The food offerings are very healthy and light too. We got a large fruit/veggie juice and two ham wraps made to order. Everything was really fresh including the juice ingredients and meat + cheese+ veggies for the wrap. To top it off, prices were on the lower side too. Lunch only cost us 15 euros, which was way less than what we've been paying at restaurants. Overall a great find and definitely worth a stop, especially if you're looking for something refreshing. read more

This was the freshest, healthiest, most satisfying food during a week long stay in Rome. And it was affordable! Sandwiches are 4 euro; smoothies 3.5 euro. And it is very close to the Vatican-- between the Vatican museums and the Otaviano metro stop. We ordered smoothies (the owner can suggest lots of combinations and even carries rice milk and soy milk) and make-your-own sandwiches. We got sunflower-whole-wheat bread with smoked salmon, avocado, tomato, lettuce and the owner suggested the zucchini pesto which was incredible. In total, this was an amazing lunch for 15 euro for 2 people-- very fresh. It seems most of the ingredients are organic and everything is super fresh. The tiny shop also sold: wrap sandwiches, fresh made juices (your own combination), amazing looking salads, packaged cookies and some muffins as well as the usual bottled drinks and I saw a coffee machine. You can tell this place is well loved- just in the space of 20 minutes we saw many locals come in and chat with the owner and pick up something to eat. The owner is very nice and friendly and speaks perfect English and Italian. My only suggestion is to invest in a high powered blender (Vitamix or Blentec) so that he can expand into green smoothies. Thank you Fabio for a fantastic lunch! read more

Delightful conversation with the elegant, accommodating chefs makes this way more than a quick takeaway joint. Fa-Bio is everything "fast food" should be but never is: healthy, fresh, made to order with skill and attention to detail. Try the buns stuffed with rosemary and carrots (it's to die for). Sandwiches, pressed juices, salads, little snacks and sodas to go, whatever you pick up is going to be fantastic and leave you craving more. read more

It's a small and cozy salad & juice bar. I ordered a salad and it was super big and not that expensive for the Italian standards. The quality of the ingredients is high: most of them (if not all) are organic. I love to eat and drink healthy and I love this place! read more

Re Bio - My salad to go (€6) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Rome, RM

If you like bio-organic food (c'mon now, who doesn't like a little health in their life?) and friendly, professional staff with the best sense of humor to be offered from the other side of a sandwich counter (and who doesn't?), Fa-Bio is for you. This wee little spot right by the Vatican Museums in Prati is a jewel, and Fabio and Claudio (the owners, who speak both English and Italian fluently and probably a few other languages as well) will whip up almost anything you might want, from sandwiches to salads to soups and rolls, not to mention fresh smoothies made from fresh fruits and vegetables. In a city that sometimes struggles with opening up to different sorts of foods, Fa-Bio is not only refreshing but fun, as the environment is friendly and clean. This place is so good it has become a meeting point of sorts for much of the international crowd, and it's almost impossible not to become a regular! read more

Great to have some salad amidst a week of pasta and pizza. Fresh, healthy, huge salads - you can make your own. Seems like the ingredients change, so they may be out of some things, but have other items instead. Great prices, friendly staff. Small counter to eat. Nice lunch before hitting up the Vatican Museum. read more

Deduct the star just because it's a cramped space. Otherwise, a change of pace after so many days of eating Italian. I loved the diversity of food in the Prati area of Rome including Fa-Bio. The two staff working knew we were English-speaking when we tried our best to understand the Italian menu. Hey! I tried! So, they directed us to the English menu - thank God! Haha My nephew ordered a juice and I ordered a salad. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was really craving a salad. Let's just say this place knows what they're doing. The salad was phenomenal and the baked bread (in house) was phenomenal as well. read more

Nice, healthy, affordable. We had some simple sandwiches and a salad. Would recommend for a lighter meal or a break from all the heavy Italian food. read more

After eating all the pasta and pizzas, I really needed a break from all these carbs!! Found this trendy place and decided to give it a go. Had the Tiffany sandwich and it was amazing!! Super filling too - something my New York stomach hasn't been feeling with these small Italian portions. They also have salads, juices, smoothies, & wraps! read more

The place has a very San Francisco-ish feel to it which I liked. The guy making the juices was very friendly. They have great fresh fruit juices and fresh sandwiches. We tried a tofu sandwich which was good and a couple of their ready-made sandwich buns (?), one with chard filling and another with curry vegetables which were very average. The chard one infact was quite bad and I had to throw away most of it. read more

Best sandwich in a long time! Friendly and helpful staff. When you visit Vatican City make sure to eat there. Affordable prices too :)

Great alternative to heavy meals in Rome. Good prices, very friendly service.

Fantastic! It was such a delight to find super healthy food in Rome. After carb-on-carb overload, Fa-bio offered a reasonably priced welcome reprieve. My husband and I each ordered a freshly made veggie & fruit juice, along with two scrumptious salads. The menu is in Italian and while I can usually get by, a lovely gentleman working there helped translate the words I couldn't understand. Every veggie was cut to order and the salad combinations were fab-ulous! Service is excellent, super friendly and accommodating. There was a good mix of tourists and locals, its a very small place (only about 8 seats) and ingredients sell out quickly, so get there early. Overall, a wonderful meal, staff and restaurant that we would frequent often if we were lucky enough to live in Rome. ;) read more

THE SALADS WERE AMAZING! The staff is sooo lovely and were so thoughtful about my allergies! And they tailor made me a juice just for my ailment! read more

A delightful, healthy, delicious place for lunch. Very customer focused. The owner speaks perfect English and was very patient and kind to us. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Most seating is outdoors but with a covering. The food was exactly what I was needing after a full morning at the Vatican museum. read more

Good Smoothies! Excellent service. Extremely polite. Great stop after a long day visiting the Vatican.

The sandwiches here were great. Very clean and healthy. Even better was the customer service. The staff was super nice. They spoke excellent English. They explained the menu to us and made suggestions on what to order. When I asked for a banana for my baby, they gave it to us for free and even let me pick out the banana I wanted. Moreover, we were unprepared for the rain, so they gave us an umbrella and recommended an excellent cafe around the corner where we could enjoy an espresso. We loved this place and would highly recommend it! read more

Excellent sandwich/ wrap place, Claudio and the folks behind the counter were great, everything we had was yummy. The place is a bit small but the food is all natural and so many vegan options. Definitely recommend it read more

Outstanding vegetarian sandwiches and wraps. I liked the choices, the smoothies, the organic selections. Mr Claudio, one of the owner and the two ladies were just gracious and really good with their wares.. read more

Amazing experience & a great break from pizza/pasta! Super helpful & friendly staff (there was no English menu), and the sandwiches and smoothies were customizable and DELICIOUS. I wish we would've found this place sooner in our trip to Rome. I highly highly recommend! read more

Ordered custom vegan sandwich and got a great smoothie. Servers very nice and spoke English (really well!). Very fresh and flavorful, healthy and vegan, and delish! Good prices, too. Wish they had a better seating situation, though. read more

I've been using Yelp for a few years but I haven't written a review until now. My visit today was nothing but wonderful and pleasant. I met and spoke with one of the owners about different fruit combinations for smoothies and had a delightful conversation about my travels to Italy, his travels to my family's country, and even issues in the US. He used fresh, flavorful fruits in my smoothie and strived to ensure that the smoothie was to my satisfaction. Furthermore, he welcomed both new and existing customers with open arms and created a lively atmosphere in the space. The quality of service exceeded anything I've experienced so far in Italy, and I'd highly recommend FaBio to anyone looking for a healthy bite. read more

Great sandwiches and salads-perfect for lunch and if you're looking to grab something quickly or take away.

I stumbled upon this restaurant when I was looking for a healthy and affordable place to have lunch after my morning at my internship at the Vatican. The Vatican is FULL of tourist traps, so it wasn't easy to find a place like FaBio, but once I did...I was SOLD. The interns and I went once and we FELL IN LOVE. Now, we go back every week...can't bring ourselves to go anywhere else! The sandwiches and salads are INCREDIBLE. Fresh, healthy, and there are options for everyone from meat lovers to vegetarian and vegans. The staff is so nice, and they make amazing food!! Now that we go back every week, they remember us and we always joke around and have a great time with them. If you are visiting the Vatican or if you are in Rome at all...you MUST make a stop to Fabio. It is small with only a few seats, so I reccommend getting your food to go and enjoying it on a nearby bench or grassy park. I look forward to my weekly salad from Fabio all week long! This place is the BEST. Not sure what I will do when I leave Rome in May and can't have my weekly Fabio salad!! :( read more

Fantastico! The salads are fabulous, made fresh to order, and lots of veggie proteins for those of us who don't eat meat. The seitan wrap was awesome, especially at 2.5 euros. Quality is great, and prices overall are lower than nearby options. It's one of those small, quirky stores that makes a neighborhood unique. read more

Best lunch I had during my week in Italy! Sandwiches were delicious as was the fresh juice. The guys who run it are super helpful and nice - we had to wait a short time - maybe 5 or 10 minutes - while they were preparing another groups food and they gave us several half cups of free juice as apology. If you are visiting the Vatican City, definitely get lunch here! read more
