This has to be some sort of money laundering or **** front. They have a display case it doesn't have anything in it there's never anyone there it literally looks closed from the outside. And while the service was great everything we had was terrible the wine did not taste right, the sauce tasted like it came from a jar, the supposed Seafood dish was frozen shrimp, the rice and vegetables were clearly a frozen pack without any added flavor. I would never recommend this place to anybody.

If you are looking for a restaurant that offers amazing food and service this is the place for you! The food was absolutely amazing and delicious! I found their menu to have a lot of variety and options, at times Italian restaurants can seem very basic with the types of dishes they offer but not Fratello’s! I had their Linguine Pollo Pra Diavolo and I have never had anything like it anywhere else. It was a delicious semi spicy marinara sauce and the chicken was cooks perfectly and the pieces were already bite size. I will be coming back again and again and I’ll make sure to bring other people so that they can experience Fratello’s as well! The restaurant was very nice inside and I loved how all of the tables were set up it was a beautifully set entrance. Their complementary bread was very hot and fresh. Their tiramisu was to die for! Our waiter even sang to the birthday girl when he found out it was her birthday. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we were doing well, he kept our waters full and was very nice and sweet to us. This restaurant deserves to be visited by everyone in Livermore and by those visiting!

We had the steak. It was good, not great. At $50 a plate, it should be great. Tis a nice place, just rather spendy for what you get.

We had only been to the old location but really liked it ao thought we'd try the new one. Some of the art work was still from Anita's but they added some italian pictures. It wasn't too busy when we walked in but did get busier. There were 2 servers and 1 busboy, Not sure how many cooks. The service was slow but I think they need more help. We finally got our food, but had to ask 5 minutes later for parmesan cheese since the server never came back. The food was good but a bit pricy for pasta. It seemed like everyone waited a while for their food. The people are very nice and the food is good but not sure we will go back.

Fratello’s Livermore isn't just another Italian restaurant; it's a celebration of fresh, flavorful food served with genuine hospitality. I've had the pleasure of dining there twice and using their catering service for a party, and each experience has been exceptional.The menu is a love letter to Italian’s. From perfectly al dente pasta dishes to succulent seafood specialties, every bite is a testament to quality ingredients and culinary expertise. Everything is bursting with flavor, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming.The staff at is as delightful as the food. They're attentive without being intrusive, offering recommendations and making sure your dining experience is seamless. They genuinely seem passionate about the food and the restaurant, which adds a personal touch to the whole experience.What truly sets them apart is their dedication to fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can taste the difference in every dish. Here's the surprising part: despite the exceptional quality, the prices remain very reasonable. You get incredible value for your money, making it a perfect spot for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a special celebration.Their commitment to quality extends to their catering service as well. I recently used them for a party, and the food was a huge hit with everyone. They were easy to work with, offering a variety of options to fit our needs.In short, if you're looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional service, and a commitment to quality, look no further than the Livermore location. You won't be disappointed. I met Omar, the owner. He’s experienced and takes is profession seriously.

The food was exceptional! And the service was fantastic. The atmosphere is very nice... it's a great place for an Italian dinner with easy parking and a quick short walk from downtown Livermore.
Love this place. They make their own bread which is fantastic and their food is excellent. Service is impeccable.

The food was seriously incredible! Top 3 Italian dishes I've had, and I go to a lot of Italian places. I read that the atmosphere could use some work, and I agree. The lighting, vibe, music, interior design, etc. was all just a little odd and off. HOWEVER, if I had to choose between great atmosphere and great food, I'll choose great food any day.

The veal dishes at this restaurant are the best I have ever had. No other Italian restaurants compare. Only in New York would you find something comparable

Wanted a tasty meal in a relaxed environment. We are regulars and rarely use a menu. We arrived about 15 minutes after the restaurant opened and were in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Our meal was hot and tasty and the ? was good.
Parking: Friday night at 5:15 when we arrived parking was available easily. When we left about 6:45 there was less parking, but still some spots reasonably nearby.

Had reservations for 5:00, showed up 15 minutes early and we were told we would have to wait. Which would have been fine if they were busy, but only three tables were occupied. It took 50 minutes to get our food, which is ridiculous since, again, they were not busy. Hopefully, they get better service, because the food was really good.
