My wife and I decided to try this place out and was not disappointed. We were treated very well by the two Anns that we met here along with Phong. Great food and vibes. The grilled octopus appetizer and shrimp risotto were excellent. I could not finish my steak because I was already full. Great relaxed atmosphere and very cozy interior. We will definitely be back. You will love this place!

Food always is great. Pasta homemade, dishes are eclectic. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Gnocchi is like a pillow

Warm, cozy, relaxed ambience. We were seated immediately. Our servers were attentive, responsive, and accommodating, and service was perfectly timed. We never felt rushed and also never had to wait. The only thing better than the experience was the food! We will definitely be back.

We ordered take out not fine in for our first visit as it was during the recent ice storm so we walked over to take home. The Pappardelle al Cinghiale was precisely what I wanted and it didn’t disappoint. My only complaint was that we paid for a $15 Caesar salad and literally got a $5 salad that didn’t seem fresh. I don’t know if it was because it was take out but it discouraged me from ever wanting to order take out if they give much smaller portions.

My girlfriend and I visited Fraschetta in Bryn Mawr this past Friday night to celebrate some positive changes in her job, and we couldn't have picked a better spot. We've been to this restaurant several times before and always enjoyed ourselves, but this visit was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the owner Fong made us feel genuinely welcome. Her warmth and kindness set the tone for the entire evening. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely amazing, as it always is. Since the restaurant is BYOB, we brought a bottle of wine, but it turned out to be bad. Without hesitation, Fong stepped in with an act of generosity that truly stood out. She gifted us a bottle of wine from the restaurant and surprised us with a complimentary dessert. Gestures like that aren't common, and Fong's kindness should not go unnoticed. It turned what was already a great night into something really memorable. Overall, an incredible experience. Fantastic food, outstanding hospitality, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be going back!

Snowy night dinner after the movies was great! Service was exceptional...specials were delicious...only complaint was that the espresso wasn't hot in my affogato.

Four of us had universally delicious meals. My mushroom gnocchi was superb(!!) and the Boar's pasta (pappardelle al console)was also noteworthy. Two of us had the grilled pork chop and it was so good the bones and plate were picked clean by the end. Also, the layered eggplant antipasti was remarkable. The only downside was service could've been quicker. Wait staff very friendly and they were hustling but we waited often while trying to get their attention (for initial ordering, dessert ordering). Might have been understaffed that night(?) but we should've been out in 90 min and instead we were there a full 2 hours (not by our making). Since I can't give 4.75 stars, I bump up to 5 as we really had a lovely, absolutely delicious meal. Will definitely return soon.
Always happy with this restaurant. The pasta is so fresh and delicious. Planning my next visit.

From the time we entered, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We were seated an immediately attended to by the wait staff. Water and bread were brought and our wine was opened. The first course was caesar salad, excellently dressed and prepared. We had the special for the evening which was a seafood combo with either squid ink pasta or rissotto. Also enjoyed was the pasta a la Norma. Dessert was a selection of gelatos. Service was friendly yet not annoying. It was a lovely evening spent enjoying delicious food!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff was attentive and welcoming all night, and the owner was wonderful and made sure everything was perfect. The food was seasoned just right, and every dish they recommended was spot on. We were hesitant about the fish special but trusted their suggestion—and it did not disappoint. The spinach and capers balanced the dish beautifully. Fantastic food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Fraschetta not only never disappoints but more often than not exceeds already elevated expectations based upon many past enjoyable visits. The people are genuinely courteous and warm, the service is prompt, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the food is outstanding. We shared a delicious caesar salad which was not drenched in dressing (thankfully) but accented with "just enough." I had the mushroom lasagna. My description does not do justice to this altogether fresh take on that quintessential comfort dish. It was creamy heaven and served in a very ample portion. My spouse had the cod and since she never finishes her dinner, I sampled the fish as well. My hypersensitive nose for fish was never triggered as it was a perfectly cooked and seasoned piece that could have been in the ocean ten minutes earlier. We capped the meal with the peach cobbler which was exquisite. The biscuit was fresh and just firm enough and the topping was the right blend of moist and sweet, and as usual the helping was not in the least stingy. In a time when eating out may be a luxury cost-wise but all too often not taste-wise for many, Fraschetta always makes the experience memorable and worth every penny.
