Fabio's - Reservar una mesa

I 'm in Edinburgh.UK for a little under 2 weeks for work. I 've been here before, and I know that Scottish food is pretty bland, so I came here with pretty low expectations. However, for a restaurant in the UK, I would say that this is a pretty decent restaurant. For starters, I had some smoked salmon wrapped in cream cheese and a minestrone soup. The smoked salmon was pretty good, it came in 3 pieces. There was a bit too much cream cheese for each piece, so I only had one and shared the rest with my co workers. The minestrone soup was very good and refreshing, considering the weather is currently in the 50 's 60 's and I came from Houston 80 's 90 's degree weather. For the main entree, I h...

First... this is ITALIAN restaurant, not Scottish, not British. And you shouldn't have smoked salmon--even if it's wrapped in cream cheese--if you don't like bland food. The restaurant is somewhat small and since it's not in the city center, I imagine most tourists don't even know it exists. Yet, we got the last table when we were there as the restaurant was fully occupied with people who seem to be regular visitors. There were only three servers visible, yet they were friendly and accessible (though you may have to raise your hands to get them to notice). I had the calamari fritti for starter, and it's done right: lightly battered, not greasy, and crispy. For main I had the pollo milanese,...

One of the most interesting places for itialian cuisine in the city (for me at least). Based close to the western outskirts of the city (just behind PC World and Shell station) it still provides a romantic atmosphere and good food to enjoy. Prices very good and even a bit shocking (in a positive way) as for same dishes in the city center you'd have to pay at least £2 more. Drinks ok too, service nice and polite. Really as I say the only minus is that is so far from the city center. But if you're a food lover and like to spend an evening in pretty romantic atmosphere than why not spend some time on the bus but then not regreting your decision?

Fabios has fantastic food which is freshly cooked and very tasty. The prices are good, probably what you would expect from an italian outside the city centre. The staff are friendly and always happy to help, they make you feel very welcome. There is a great range of non-italian food for those who want it and although there is not a childrens menu they will make a half portion of pasta or a small 8 pizza for children. Food at the weekends takes a while to arrive at your table, so get a starter to keep you going. All in all a great place to eat, nice friendly atmosphere, lovely home made type food, good prices, highly recommended.

Good food and affordable prices. I ordered the carbonara which was delicious and my husband enjoyed his ravioli. The tables could use a bit more space in between but no complaints otherwise. If your looking for good Italian just outside of Edinburgh this is a good spot.
