Buongiorno, Buonasera, Ciao , Salve , Saluti

In true Italian style and with proper Italian cuisine I wish to introduce you to the only authentic Italian owned restaurant Café/Panino Bar and Delicatessen in Hermanus.

It is with warm Italian hospitality that I would like to invite you to come and taste great Italian cuisine and specialties at Fabio’s Ristorante Italiano and Pizzeria at 60 St Peters lane Hermanus.
Situated in the heart of Hermanus, nestled between the trees and greenery of the St Peters church, in St Peters lane , with a ocean view from the outside sidewalk Peroni Deck “Casa Peroni” , the Italian look and feel ambiance would really make you feel like you’re in Italy.

Stemming from a family of restaurateurs , Italian born Fabio learned to cook with his mother who owned three restaurants and was blessed to have his mamma hand down her winning cooking recipes to him

A nice selection of SEAFOOD, MEATS, PASTA & PIZZA , a great local and Italian wine list, together with great service and a warm and beautiful ambiance, a winning formula that goes with great Italian music has just been the successful result factor at Fabio’s Authentic Ristorante Italiano
We introduce several new black board recipes per week and some end up being added to the menu as they become so popular


Fabio’s ( The Don) his cousin and recently acclaimed partner Antonie Lombard aka ‘Antonio The Hammer” will make you a offer you can’t refuse.

Specialties include, Seafood Lasagna a self designed recipe and unique to us, a new Risotto menu, Seafood Soup ( Zuppa Di Pesce), Pasta Putanesca ( All Home made ) and typical Italian thin crispy pizza’s with a variety of toppings including Parma-Rock( Parma Ham and Rocket) on a typical Margherita base.

Our starters are all of origin, Tre colori Bruschetta , or normal Bruschetta , Gnocchi, Antipasto Platters , home made Beef Fillet Carpaccio, Springbok Carpaccio, Soups and salads.

Our pasta’s are all made alla minute , our sauces ,our lasagna and canneloni are all home made, try our Fabio’s Speciality Pasta ,also the “Grande Cinque” cannelloni, filled with 5 different fillings, a novelty at Fabio’s and a first in the world together with our lovely dessert menu , all your senses will be served.

Our pizzas are thin crispy based with various toppings and creative designer pizzas are also available.

The menu also includes meat dishes specializing in Veal( Medallions) or Veal Rack Chops (STA), Rump, Tuscan lamb shanks & Fillet steak . The veal is made with a creamy Marsala or Limone Piccata , other steaks can be made the Italian way, all served with a side dish.

Seafood is, fresh fish of the day, line fish, sole, calamari and prawns, including a zuppa di pesce( Italian seafood soup).

Our dessert menu is as good a quality as our food and specializes in Italian Frozen desserts, ice creams, sorbets and several home made desserts such as Tiramisu

Quoted as One of the TOP 1000 restaurants in South Africa and one of the top 3 restaurants in Hermanus including we boast a write up in the Country Life magazine that quotes our Veal and Tiramisu dessert.

We also have a fantastic wine list, including great grappa’s (Including and available at Fabio’s a White & Dark Chocolate Grappa and Prosecco wines) and various stunning Italian after dinner liqueurs such as Limoncello, Averna , Ramazotti, Amaretto etc

Fabulous food and service, 12 Aug 2011
Reviewer: Pierre Scholtz (Adventurousness: I'll order it as per the menu.)

Comments: We had an amazing time at Fabio's great food, excellent service from our waitress (even when my son spilt his milkshake all over her). My wife who loved the gluten free Pizza. Wish more restaurants would offer gluten free food. The wine list catered for all tastes and budgets. Would recommend that any person visiting Hermanus can not call their trip complete without a visit to Fabio's!

Heaven on Earth, 30 Mar 2011
Reviewer: harry & beryl (Adventurousness: What is the chef's special today?)

Comments: What a great place. We thought we had died and gone to heaven. They have the best food and the best service, really continental. Once inside you thought you were in Italy.
Whenever in Hermanus the first thing we will do is visit Fabio's.
Ciao Fabio and staff.
