Fabrizio (30 St Cross Street, London, EC1N 8UH) An amazing find. The exceptional food is amazing value and the bill is always surprisingly low. Initially found via word of mouth and I in turn have taken friends along who just keep coming back. Apart from the fabulous food is the lovely Fabrizio himself. As well as been a great chef he will always come out in the restaurant to talk to his devoted followers… for this is what you become ! His lovely wife and sister in law are often working front of house too. The menu doesn't change much, but does have good specials, but then when you have perfection, why go changing? The seafood risotto with it's creamy texture and inky taste is always a good recommendation and the fish and meat dishes are always cooked to perfection. As much as I want Fabrizio to reap the rewards of his success, I don't want the place to change too much, though larger premises, which I know is something he is looking for, would add to the delight.
