Sooo The Brothers Trattoria was such a cute date night spot! We went during the week for a late dinner, so it was pretty quiet — which was actually really nice. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful with the menu. The decor has a modern, clean, wine-bar vibe that felt cozy and stylish. The food was solid overall, and I definitely want to come back to try their pizza next time!

What we ordered:

Garlic Butter Shrimp: Great starter!

Ravioli: Hmm mmm… yummy!

Lasagna: Seasoning was a bit mild, but still enjoyable.

The Brother catered our celebration and supporter thank-you after-party following our recent charity event, and it was absolutely perfect! After a long but beautiful day, their meal hit the spot in every way. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — exactly what we needed to wrap up the evening on a high note.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Huge thanks to The Brother for helping make our event so memorable!

The experience was nice. I can see they make a very good pizza and that seems like it might’ve been the thing to order. Everything we had was 3.5 to 4 out of five and so far is food so if it’s on your way, it’s definitely worth trying.

Living so close, we can’t believe we hadn’t tried this place sooner! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was incredibly kind and welcoming. Even though it was close to closing time and there were only a few tables left, we were never rushed and felt genuinely taken care of. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Ordered delivery order: Carbonara e polpotte pasta came without meatballs (polpotte literally means meatballs). The pasta was doused in grease and oil as you can see in the picture. The pasta dishes were overcooked, the meatballs in the other dish ordered had a weird texture and tasted like canned processed meat. What good Italian restaurant charging $21+ per pasta doesn’t get served with a bun or some bread. The portion was smaller than average. Overall bad dinner. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I feel I wasted $50 dollars on 2 bad pastas.

Really great pizza, it's going to make other pies pale. The grilled chicken breast was moist and well seasoned. And the meatballs definitely were homemade and perfectly went with the marinara. While I have not been to Italy, now I don't need to go there to get very thoughtful and delicious food. I look forward to our next visit.

We recently hosted a birthday party for 30 guests at The Brother, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was. From the moment we began planning, the staff was incredibly accommodating—helping us coordinate the space, timing, and menu so that everything ran smoothly.

On the day of the celebration, the restaurant truly exceeded expectations. They handled our large group with ease and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was prepared perfectly, served hot, and full of flavor. Guests kept commenting on how much they enjoyed their meals.

What really stood out was the level of service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from drinks to special requests, all while maintaining a friendly and attentive attitude. They made the birthday feel special, and we never felt rushed or overlooked despite the size of our party.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience at The Brother. It was the perfect venue for our celebration, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to host a special event—or simply to enjoy a great meal. We’ll definitely be back!

We entertained some friends from out of town. TB staff set us up in our own corner and were very attentive. Even accommodated us staying a bit too long...lol. We much enjoyed the food and service and much appreciate the great hospitality.
