Book NowAbout Fabbrica Pasta Shop CBD
Part retail pantry, part basement canteen—Fabbrica CBD cuts straight to Roman pasta essentials. Desk workers pack the central communal block for brisk midday refuels, while evening pairs take to the courtyard for low-lit date nights. The kitchen keeps the menu focused on house-made noodles with a distinct al dente bite, led by peppered cacio e pepe and curly prawn mafaldine. Pull a minimal-intervention wine straight off the retail shelves, split crisp zucchini flowers slicked in chilli honey, and finish with the hazelnut tiramisu.
- Handmade Pasta Classics: Handmade daily, from peppery cacio e pepe to prawn-and-nduja mafaldine turned out with classic al dente chew.
- Retail & Bottleshop Counter: Bottle shop shelves stock low-intervention wines alongside fresh pasta packs and sauces to cook at home.
- Basement Block & Courtyard Seating: A compact basement footprint built around a massive central block table, plus heated alfresco seats in the courtyard.

Before you head over
Key guidance on seating, timing, and menu choices to streamline your meal—book your table now to secure a spot.
Reserve Ahead for Evening and Group Dining
Walk-in tables fill up quickly during peak lunch rushes and are often impossible after work. If you are dining with a group or visiting during peak evening hours, book ahead; solo diners and off-peak visitors around mid-afternoon have the easiest time walking in.
Request Courtyard Seating for Added Comfort
The indoor basement dining room centers around a single communal block table where leg space is constrained. For more breathing room, relaxed conversation, or a date night, opt for the outdoor courtyard tables when the weather permits.
Balance Rich Roman Flavors with Starters
Traditional Lazio and Roman pastas here lean distinctly savory, rich, and pork-fat forward. Offset the heavier plates like cacio e pepe or ragu by ordering sourdough or lighter seafood options, and be sure to leave room for the hazelnut tiramisu.
