In the heart of Banbury, you can find a delicious piece of Italy at Fabio's. This is a restaurant that takes pride in providing quality authentic Italian cuisine and a warm atmosphere - one that will transport your mind away from British shores. Located just a short distance from Banbury Cross, the warm reds and sunny golds of Fabio's will draw you in from the Oxfordshire night air.
The traditional decor is the first step towards creating that genuine sense of Italian hospitality - chequered tablecloths, European murals and grapevines encircling the intimate seating. Fabio's is fully licensed, and so provides the ideal setting for a family celebration or romantic meal. You can choose dishes from a comprehensive à la carte menu, brimming with Italian deliciousness. Perhaps begin by enjoying bruschetta pomodoro (toasted bread topped with cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil and extra virgin olive oil) while sipping on an Italian wine, then choose an antipasto such as crespelle della casa - a crepe filled with mushrooms, spinach and mozzarella cheese in a tomato and cream sauce. Mains could be pasta, risotto, meat, fish or vegetarian dishes - opt for the risotto pollo e funghi and enjoy the tenderest chicken breast with mushrooms and a white wine and cream sauce; or tuck into saltimbocca, a traditional Roman dish of veal escalope topped with Parma ham in butter and sage. The menu is created to match the season, incorporating a plethora of Italian flavours and using the best ingredients, either imported from Italy or sourced from local suppliers. In addition, plenty of daily specials offer something a little bit different. Finish your evening with the likes of 'Charline Vaniglia' - caramel and vanilla ice cream covered with caramel sauce, crushed amaretti biscuits and decorated with small pieces of caramel - and you'll step back out through Fabio's doors, and back to the UK, with a smiling face and a happy stomach. Fabio's is available for exclusive hire, and can cater for parties of up to 50 guests for a sit-down meal in comfort. You can simply relax and enjoy yourselves, whether it's a wedding reception or another celebration in need of a hint of Italian flair. It
