A great place for casual dining. Good food choices and perfectly cooked food. ambience was quiet and nice . Adding to that service was good too.
We enjoyed an excellent brunch at Fabbrica yesterday with a group of 8 friends. Besides good environment, good food, we really enjoyed our waiter Robin, he is a breath of fresh air. Next time we will ask for him specifically!
Every dish here was amazing! The menu is consistently satisfying. The service is dependable, the dishes are consistent. Drinks as well was so good. It was great experience.
Great Italian food at Fabbrica - definitely a special occasion kind of place rather than an everyday place (it is a little pricey). Pappardelle with braised short rib was really good

Better than last time I came here. Every dish was amazing. The entire table of 6 is happy with their meal!
But rate, gnocchi, Arctic char, pizza, carpaccio, frutti, we tried so many dishes and all good!
Fabbrica is the Italian Restaurant from The McEwan Group located at Shops at Don Mills. It is focused on making authentic rustic Italian dishes, in which many of the ingredients sourced from Italy. Did you know? Fabbrica means “factory” in Italian. We sat at the piazza in the front and it was a beautiful space with
Last week, I went to Fabbrica in North York with my team at work. It is one of Mark McEwan’s restaurants and located right across the McEwan grocery store in North York. We started with some appetizers including some fries with truffle and grana padano cheese. They were so addictive! We also had some warm olives (which were some of the best I’ve had) and their signature meatballs. I forgot to take a photo of these because we ate them too fast.
Finally had a chance to come and try this place. It was wonderful! Service was excellent and friendly.
Fairly casual and fun atmosphere. Lots of tables with plenty of space. Love the big pizza oven in the back and the open window kitchen.
We had the pizza of the day with lamb sausage, risotto with zucchini, and the meatballs. For dessert we ordered the Panna Cotta with key lime - it was wonderfully tart & not too sweet. The espresso was good too.
I'll be coming back.
Came for dinner to celebrate Mother's day and it was amazing. The service was great and the food was perfect. The lamb porchetta was super tender and moist. The Octopus salad was delicious. The Octopus was cooked perfectly..not rubbery or chewy. My Bellini drink was strong! I'm not a drinker but one was good enough. Lol!
I just want to comment that the atmosphere is very romantic and classic. If you need a first date location, pick this place. However, the waiters are very good-looking so your girl (or guy) may be very busy looking at other guys (cough).

Awesome food. I just need to comment that their special ravioli is to die for. First of all, it’s super soft and the meat is well seasoned inside. You only get like 5-6 pieces for the $20 that you pay, so DON’T SHARE lols. My friend was very nice and gave me 1 piece, so generous lols. Some restaurants make that ravioli too thick, to the point where you can’t taste the content inside. This ravioli combines the right texture, thickness, and temperature so it’s a sure win. The funghi pizza that I ordered is very light and it’s great for those who love cheese. The mushroom taste is very subtle and I find this to be a good contrast to the normal pizzas that we eat (e.g. Canadian, meat lovers, vegetarian, etc.). The meatball wasn’t bad, we really liked the sauce but one can engulf that dish in less than 1 minute.
[Cost]
I put this section up because this is not a cheap restaurant. Honestly I would come back to try other foods but considering its price I definitely need to save up a bit. I personally don’t think the quality REALLY justifies the price they are serving their dishes at, but all in all it’s a pretty solid restaurant.
