Fantastic service, amazing food, and a great vibe.
They were incredibly accommodating, squeezing us in on a busy Friday night right near closing time without making us feel rushed at all.
The food and drinks were absolute perfection, and you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The marinara sauce was superb, and the Caesar salad is honestly one of the best I have ever had. The pizza was beyond delicious and cooked to absolute perfection. To top it all off, the drinks were out of this world—highly recommend the Tiramisu Martini and the Paloma!
The live music added so much to the wonderful ambiance, making the whole dining experience even better.
A special shout-out to Kevin, who was super friendly, welcoming, and incredibly attentive throughout our meal.
We will definitely be back!

We came out with our dogs and the patio is definitely the highlight here. Live music, pet friendly, and just a really good place to hang out when the weather's nice. I was a little surprised nobody ever offered our dog a bowl of water though. It's a small thing, but one I'd expect from a place that's so pet friendly.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, but service definitely lagged behind throughout the meal. We ended up waiting a few different times to order and get refills. Had to order all the food at once after we realized what type of service wed get.Nothing that ruined the night, but it was noticeable.
The food was a mixed bag. The pizza is about as average as it gets. It's perfectly edible and I'd eat it again if I was already there, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The lasagna was unfortunately the bigger disappointment. It actually tasted pretty decent, LOADED as well, but it ended up making us sick afterward, which obviously put a damper on the whole experience.
Overall I'd still come back because the patio is genuinely a great spot to spend an evening. Grab a drink, listen to the live music, and enjoy the atmosphere. I'd just be ordering something different next time. The place has a lot going for it, I just think the food and service have some room to catch up to the vibe.
Overall, we enjoyed the food (we ordered pasta marinara with meatballs, chicken ravioli, and a slice of lemon cake). The portions were generous, and everyone left feeling full. However, we were not offered the lunch menu - even though we visited during the hours when the special lunch menu was available. What left a sour taste was the way the bill was presented: instead of bringing us an itemized paper check, they simply showed the total amount on the card terminal screen. The total seemed a bit inflated, but it’s not in my nature to dispute charges or ask for a detailed receipt, so I simply paid (including the tip). BUT it left me with a very uncomfortable feeling — as if we had been judged by our appearance...The service for an Italian restaurant was a bit lackluster...

We had lunch at Fratello’s today (our first time at this restaurant) and so glad we stopped by! Margherita pizza and pepperoni pizza were sooo delicious, thin crust and the toppings - everything just perfect. Good coffee, very kind friendly service.
Lots of dessert options, we got cannoli to go. Will definitely return and recommend to our friends.
The restaurant filled up at lunchtime, I could tell it’s a well-liked place.
*** A year later - pizza is still amazing, tiramisu out of this world, wonderful friendly service 😊😊😊 We should try other dishes next time!!!

Grabbed lunch here with my sister and loved it! The staff were kind and our server was happy to give us feedback on recommended dishes and he very prompt when I let him know my calzone wasn't hot in the center. It came back melted and delicious and the dough was absolutely phenomenal!
They had live music on their patio and the two gentlemen were very fun and lent such a wonderful ambiance to our meal.

The food was excellent, service was so so…. It felt a little unwelcoming at first, but the manager that took care of us at the end was great. The food is great, I would go back. Great for families.

My wife and I ate here on Wednesday, March 25th. We ordered a small sausage pizza. This was possibly the best pizza we have ever eaten! The crust was light and delicious (hand-tossed). The sauce was outstanding. The (house made) sausage had a little kick, but was extremely delicious! The cheese was first-rate: perfectly stringy and succulent. Would definitely recommend!
