Since 2011, Trabocchi has focused on expanding Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants to become one of the preeminent restaurant groups in the world. It currently includes the Italian inspired Fiola, Fiola Mare, and Sfoglina Pasta Houses in the D.C. metro’s downtown, Van Ness, and Arlington, VA neighborhoods.
