Fabio On Fire | Pizzeria Italiana

Authentic Italian! Our party of four enjoyed the fine service-- not rushed, with perfect course pacing. Erika was attentive and responsive to our every question and request. We started with the complimentary bread plus olive oil/balsamic vinegar to dredge our bread through, and an appitizer of calamari fritti, then butternut squash ravioli, salciccia e fungi, pear salad, strawberry salad, and a pizza with sausage and mushrooms. Everything was delicious, the sauces rich and co plex... excellent! We will return and highly recommend.

Tried Fabio's for the first time. I definitely understand the hype. The artesian style sandwiches and bread were amazing. The serving size is also pretty large and very shareable. Really small restaurant mostly meant for takeout but definitely worth the trip. They also had a ton of gelato flavors which just looked amazing. Next time we're going to try dessert.

Delicious and authentic! Highly recommend the Capricciosa pizza. Great crust (my favorite part). The desserts are HUGE, I was not expecting that 🤯 The young man that brought us bread and water was highly attentive. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely go back!

This is a great italian restaurant. Really great. It is crowded, loud, and the tables are crowded as close to each other as possible - maybe even more so! Recipes went after complex flavors - savory and sweet - and nailed them. The arugula salad with pear, toasted almonds was exceptional. Light, but almost no "bitterness" from the arugula without being too sweet. We also had the short rib ravioli, and the butternut squash ravioli. Both were really good, but the squash ravioli was best. Savory with sage, but sweet and rich without being overwhelmingly so. Really, really good. Even the iced tea was incredible. Finally, we got a reservation on a saturday night, at 4:00 for 7:00. Very crowded and we sat on the patio. Only reason atmosphere was a 4 was the chairs were really hard. But honestly, not too important. Oh... wit salad, 2 meals, iced tea, and a desert (Tiramisu) bill was $70.00 (before tip). WHAT??!? Really reasonable pricing and still exceptional food? Definitely go to this place - you will go back!

Went there with 6 people , had a great time, just a little slow getting started with the service had to wait a while for a sever to come to us and we were the 1st people there at 4pm and 3 people where standing around the register doing nothing because no one else was there. Food was absolutely fantastic, A#1, nice atmosphere and waiter was very nice and had a good sense of humor. We will definitely go back

My husband and I chose Fabio On Fire because of the great rating, and it did not disappoint. The bread with olive oil & vinegar was a great start. The calamari appetizer was yummy. We both got pasta dishes despite how yummy the wood fired oven pizzas looked & we both loved our handmade pasta dishes! I'm confident it wouldn't matter what you ordered...its all delicious. We shared a shared a double dipped canolli (half chocolate chips & half pistachio). Everything was made with love, you could taste it. We were both happy with this choice, made reservations online giving us no wait. Great place for date night! Thank you!

For the past three years, Fabio on Fire has been my go-to destination for authentic Italian cuisine in Peoria. Known for its inviting ambiance and elevated dining experience, it's a place that inspires patrons to dress up and savor each moment. While I’ve noticed a slight dip in the quality of their pizzas—primarily with a reduced amount of cheese—their flavors remain delicious and true to classic Italian traditions. The pizzas, although slightly different from what I recall in earlier visits, are still prepared with care, offering a delightful combination of crisp crust and fresh toppings. Service during my most recent visit was prompt, with food arriving swiftly and servers maintaining professionalism throughout the meal. The restaurant's aesthetic is polished, fostering a refined atmosphere that's perfect for special occasions or simply indulging in a well-crafted meal. However, after several visits, one aspect that stands out is the consistency of the menu. While it’s commendable that they’ve mastered their current offerings, I do wish they would occasionally introduce new dishes or seasonal specials to keep things exciting for loyal patrons like myself. All in all, Fabio on Fire remains a top recommendation for anyone in Peoria looking for a quintessential Italian dining experience. Just a touch of menu innovation could make this already great restaurant even better.

We've been going here for a couple of good years. Like the pizzas and the pastas. The bread that they serve ahead of food is super addictive! If you want dessert, the Diplomatico is on a different level, give it a try.
