I’ve been coming to this place for a while and I think it is time to give them a 5* review, I would give them 6 if I could!
Don’t know where to start…
Food:
Woah just will mention some of the must try: OvenBricked chicken, Burrata with focaccia, Branzino fillet, fried calamari, $ 1 Oysters Happy hour at the bar, Pici pasta, all salads, prosciutto pizza… and of course all the fresh desserts!
This is the kinda of place where you can go from chill afternoon doing some Work on your laptop (yes, they have free and FAST wifi) to have a crazy diner party with friends!
Best spot on Williamsburg!

Let me preface this review by saying that I’ve been going to Fabbrica for years, often multiple times per week (usually after work for drinks/​food at the bar). The folks who worked and/​or managed the place have been incredibly nice to me me and my partner. BUT over the past six months or so, I’ve felt a decline. Several items that I ordered frequently have been removed from the menu (ravioli, shrimp cocktail). Specialty cocktails too. Which wouldn’t be a problem, except that the bar tending staff seems to turn over on a weekly basis so no one has the ingredient history etc. And that is my biggest disappointment with Fabbrica. Every time I get to know and like a bartender, they disappear. Part of the allure of the place is its «neighborhood joint» vibe. But that can’t be maintained if the staff changes so often. I still swing by occasionally because my home is right around the corner and I want the restaurant to do well. But there are so many other options in the hood, I’m less inclined to keep going back.

I wrote that it’s loud, but in a good way; Great music.
Food is great, staff is friendly, and it’s a fun place to hang.

I appreciate the response, the fact is, I was motivated to speak up because of how much I loved the pappardelle. I loved it so much that when it was taken away it made me angry.
Fabrica is special, please keep doing what you do, I will be a happy supporter. I look forward to eating your food.

Came here alone with my two toddlers (we’ve been before in the past but Ive never come solo with the kids). They couldnt be nicer & the food is great! Also great kids deal, when you order an adult entrée, kids get a free pizza.

Stopped by here with a friend some hearty Italian food — we ended up going with two of the nightly specials that were offered by suggestion of the waitress and we weren’t steered wrong!
We ended up ordering the special spicy sausage pasta alongside a butternut squash three cheese pizza which was a great combination of a more spicy dish paired with the sweeter tasting pizza. The pasta was delicious and a perfect sized portion to split between two people. The pizza crust was baked to perfection with a great combo of ingredients with the three cheeses, fresh cut butternut squash and finely chopped bacon bits. We also shared a delicious bottle of red wine and had amazing service by our waitress. I don’t think you can go wrong with the Italian food here!
My only slight against this restaurant is the music — it is completely random and went from loud house music, to oldies, to rap, to pop, to metal — does nothing for setting the mood or ambiance for the restaurant.

Feels like the owners have disappeared and the staff is running the show and not that well. We sat at the bar at 5pm on a Weds. When the place was pretty empty and waited to be served our first drink and then it took another 45 mins before the same bartender shucked our oysters. We ordered some pasta dish that was so-​so and a bottle of red from their limited wine list that was blah. I used to like the big couch in front of the front window for people watching and tapas at happy hour, but they moved it to the back, and filled that space with tiny 2 person tables with cramped metal chairs. It’s lost its charm and many things that made it cool in the beginning.

Loved this place. They made a pretty decent martini.
This is a good location if you want to talk to a friend/​date and there are sofas that you can chill at.
Definitely more classy, so expect a bit higher drink prices, but worth it.
Didn’t get a bite to eat so I can’t comment on the food.

Great service, best Italian delivery in Williamsburg. Comes really fast, still hot, and quality and flavor wise, unbeatable by any other area restaurant. WOOHOO! Fabbrica!

Visited Fabbrica instead of the Smorgasburg since we were traveling with children. I ordered a special that reminded me of Shashuka (eggs in tomato sauce served with a crusty bread), the dish was OK, but nothing I’d rush back for. We also had a side of broccoli for the kiddos, which was more of a broccolini and incredibly bitter. The feel of the restaurant, like most in the city, was fabulous. Open spaces, large windows, a separate bar area and not overly crowded. Although what should’ve been the shining glory: the food, was just okay. I won’t rush back here in the future.

Really friendly and helpful staff, yummy drinks and a great ambiance. I’d definitely visit this spot again.
Came on a late Friday night for a cocktail with my husband and the staff plus the ambiance, pushed us into an amazing conversation.
Great spot in Williamsburg for a drink.

Solid spot in Williamsburg. Upon entering the restaurant I was immediately impressed with the set up — very trendy and unique looking bar in the center, dining area to the left and spacious couches to the right. They also have a café area. The décor and ambiance is very «hip» without trying too hard.
I came with a friend, we sat at the bar, and ordered strawberry «leblon caipirinhas» — they were having an event «Fresh from Brazil» and I believe they were promoting leblon, a Brazilian liquor. The bartender was friendly, quick, and good at what he was doing. After sampling the pineapple leblon caipirinhas, we ordered a round of that as well — absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.
For food, we shared the margherita pizza. Brooklyn sets a high standard for pizza in general so of course this was great. The manager was very warm and welcoming. He brought out one of their pasta dishes for us to sample — carbonara with smoked pancetta, pecorino, and an egg yolk. They make their pasta in house and wow it was delicious. I wouldn’t normally order a dish like this on my own so I really appreciated the opportunity to try it. He explained the history behind it and all the individual flavors that we were tasting. We cleaned the plate.
All in all, I love everything this establishment has to offer, especially their attention to detail. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They’re good to their regulars and new-​comers alike and I had a wonderful experience. There’s really nothing I disliked about Fabbrica and will surely return in the near future.

I’m having a hard time believing the situation Michael P below is describing. I wasn’t there, so I didn’t see it. So fair enough. Grain of salt.
But I spend a lot of time here because I live close and like the place. Every single time I’ve heard a customer voice dissatisfaction with a drink or food, the restaurant has jumped on it. They regularly erase drinks if people don’t like them and buy back any food or drink that customers weren’t happy with. And when the customer isn’t happy, they recommend something else.
Again, I wasn’t there. But I’ve brought my daughter in here and had plenty of lovely times. And I’ve never, ever seen them mistreat a customer. Their default mode seems to be to erase the charge for a mistake or something someone doesn’t like. So to read that they didn’t care AND still charged him is very suspicious to me. I didn’t see it, but that’s not the crew I know.
These guys make good drinks, take care of regulars and seem very determined to make sure people have a good time. In my experience, they own their mistakes and try to fix them.

C’est grand, c’est plutôt beau, dans le style un peu industriel de Williamsburg mais très «propre sur lui».
L’accueil est chaleureux, le service efficace, rien à dire sur ce point
Nous y avons bien mangé après une journée de vélo:
— nous avons partagé la salade Polipo: poulpe grillé, pommes de terre, oignons rouges, olives, vinaigrette au limoncello, légumes frais, je me suis vraiment régalée avec ce plat très réussi et dont les saveurs se mariaient étonnamment bien.
— J’ai ensuite pris une pizza aux champignons, gorgonzoloa et pignons. La pâte n’était pas mal et la garniture délicieuse.
— En revanche j’ai vraiment été déçue par le tiramisu que j’ai commandé en dessert, je n’ai pas trop aimé son goût, je l’ai trouvé compact et pâteux, bref, le tiramisu qui doit littéralement te tirer vers le haut m’a plus alourdie qu’autre chose.
La panna cotta de ma voisine né m’a pas plue non plus, trop gélatineuse.
Je pense donc que la fabbrica se défend pour le salé mais que les desserts sont à éviter. Le salé est bon, j’ai bien dîné, mais je n’en garde pas un souvenir impérissable. Une adresse correcte mais je pense qu’on peut trouver mieux dans le quartier.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly there was more than enough seating available. We sat outside because it was such a nice day to people watch. The waiter was so attentive and friendly.
I couldn’t decide between eggs or a pizza and the waiter recommended the breakfast pizza (forgot the name) and it was to die for. He also recommended the burger to my boyfriend and again, he did not steer us wrong. The burger was juicy and the perfect size for a midday brunch or lunch.
We then had a cappuccino and split the tiramisu. The cappuccino was AMAZING, however, the tiramisu wasn’t as splendid as the rest of the meal.
5 stars for the outstanding waiter’s recommendation and service as well as the design and little details of this cute neighborhood joint. But of course, I can’t forget the food. Fantastic place and I can’t wait to go back to try another pizza from them.

Got here by searching for a proper espresso. Since in the U. S it’s very very hard to find a good coffee n not an American, I was super thrilled to taste this amazing lavazza machiato. Done in the right way!
Also had capreze sandwich which was served with Salad
On and all, I can say only good things…

Grabbed a quick bite to eat before my flight out of JFK. Had the octopus appetizer which was good followed by the buffalo mozzarella pizza. Overall taste of the pizza was good but it appears that it was cooked a little to quick since one side of the crust was very black and the dough could of used at least 1 – 2 more minutes in the wood burning oven. Perhaps putting it further away from the fire could have prevented this.
We then had the carbonara pasta which was also good. Finished of with the panna cotta which was a bit on the hard side and would have preferred it to more creamy or smoother.
Service was good and friendly.
Admire the interior design as it matches it name. Would return if I was in the neighborhood again.
