“This Italian restaurant is truly exceptional and consistently goes above and beyond every single time. Whether we’re dining in for a casual dinner or hosting a larger event with their catering, the experience is always outstanding.

The food is absolutely incredible — authentic, flavorful, and made with such care. Every dish tastes homemade and fresh, from the sauces to the desserts. Whenever we’ve had parties catered, our guests always rave about the food and ask where it’s from. It’s become our go-to recommendation without hesitation.

Beyond the amazing food, the service and attention to detail really set them apart. They genuinely care about their customers and it shows. We’re so lucky to have a place like this — highly, highly recommend! 🍝🇮🇹“

“Did Uber for a friend who resides in a nursing home. He said everything was delicious and plenty of leftovers too (great portions). He had the clam chowder, stuffed salmon with crabmeat and shrimp, a side of white rice, and cheesecake. Definitely will order again and looking forward to tasting many of the other menu items.“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“We went last night, SOOOOO GOOOD!!!!! I got a short rib special over pappardelle as an entree - with escarole and beans for an appetizer. My daughter had angel hair pasta and garlic bread with cheese - her fave. We ended with Affogato and rice pudding, and took a cannoli home. I must say, not only was the service phenomenal, our waitress’ was beyond wonderful, so service oriented, and her daughter shares the same name as mine does. From start to finish it was such a fantastic experience and the food was amazing, so much left over - we will be eating the leftovers for a week!! We will definitely be back!“
