Quick info
About Fabio Ristorante
Fabio Ristorante is an Italian restaurant on Bath Road in Swindon, a short walk from the town centre. The kitchen focuses on pizza, alongside other Italian classics, and the Monte Carlo is offered as a special dish for guests looking to try something different. Music plays in the background as part of the atmosphere, giving the dining room a relaxed soundtrack throughout the meal. Set on a busy main road, the restaurant sits within easy reach of local shops and the nearby rail links. The room takes both walk-ins and bookings, and the team serves lunch and dinner to cover the main trading hours of the day.

Customer Review Summary
Views on Fabio Ristorante split sharply, with several long-term diners praising the food and warmth while a couple of recent visits describe a sharp decline. The pizza and a Monte Carlo special drew specific praise, and repeat customers highlight consistent, friendly service over many years. Against that, two reviewers report rushed pacing, salty dishes, and staff who seemed disengaged during a birthday booking, leaving one former regular unsure about returning.

“Staying 1 night In Swindon, fancied Italian food and let me tell you this place didn’t disappoint. Our children literally licked their plates clean. One of the nicest meals I’ve had in years. Fabios restaurant is outstanding food, service and the atmosphere was buzzing. It is everything you want Italian restaurant to be, we had starters, mains, desserts totally stuffed & satisfied. But we couldn’t leave without their gorgeous gelato for the walk home. Our only disappointment is that we don’t live here in Swindon so we’re gonna have to make the journey back again from Ireland next year. Can’t wait”

“Been plenty of time and always been very good. Not sure if it was because it was mid week but service rushed and no intent put into service. Booked for wife's birthday and rushed in and out within 80 minutes. Not great for a £250 bill”

“Our starter came in 3 separate services.. before we receive our last part of starter they brought our mains .. we said special birthday occasion non of the waitresses cared.. staff were walking around so busy stressed clueless .. some of our food were salty. We were regular to Fabio’s but I don’t thin we will go there any soon .. it is not like it used to be so sad..”
