This was our first visit and it didn’t disappoint! I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was on of the best I’ve had! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The menu is varied and the prices are between $11 an up.-There is parking nearby.-An elevator if needed-Near walking and river walk trails-In addition to the set menu they have specialsParking: Parking is paid during prime business hours and free parking outside of that. City parking lot.
Vegetarian options: If you are unsure, just ask. They can accommodate your needs.Dietary restrictions: Let your server know, and they will speak with the chef to ensure you are taken care of.Parking: Free on the weekends and after 5p. Just know what time it is when you park. Would hate to ruin a great meal over a parking ticket.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty for children to choose from. If you don’t see what they want, just ask.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp going down to the restaurant from Commerce.

First time at Fratelli’s. The interior is clean, modern, with historical flare. The space is divided by a geometric center wall. One side is the bar while the other has table and booth seating. The service was great. Our waitress was considerate and quick without being pushy.The food was very good. The meals came with a warm bread basket with butter and olive oil/vinegar on the table. The menu is diverse enough for many tastes but not too big. The table ordered calamari as an appetizer. It was fried well with a tasty sauce.I ordered the scallops and risotto. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto had the smallest bit of crunch. Everything was well seasoned and portioned well. We ordered desserts to-go. There are cheesecake and cake options, as well as coffee and dessert drinks.I got the tiramisu cake. It was delightful.This is a good place to eat, and with Grey’s closed, it might be my new favorite splurge in Lynchburg.Parking: There is a small lot on Commerce street, but it fills up quickly. There is a larger lot with public hours diagonally across from the restaurant.

The wife and I went here for our anniversary. The service was impeccable. We sat at the bar and our bartender was a guy named Paul. He was phenomenal and took care of us and that guy can make a drink! The food dishes were 10/10 great flavor and cooked to perfection! Thank ya chef! We will definitely be going back and trying some other menu items. The couple that bought our dessert were great company and informative as well. If you want some solid Italian food Fratelli is it. Thanks again for making our anniversary dinner memorable! Look forward to seeing you all again.

Parking: My visit was midweek so naturally parking was plentiful. However it seemed as though there were plenty of parking spaces for weekend patrons.
We made a reservation to sit at the bar. When we arrived the bar was full so they sat us in a smaller booth. I'm not sure why they would offer the 2 options if they sit you where ever is open anyway... A bit frustrating but no big deal. We had the flat bread. 4.5/5 the Italian Salad 5/5. the muscles 4/5 and the calabrian chili shrimp which was very spicy! 4.5/5. Service was a bit slow but only because our waitress was taking care of a big party. Overall, we had a great time.

Our first visit was difficult to find restaurant. Atmosphere was really nice. I liked the menu a lot, very versatile. I would have liked a couple of old standards like carbonara. The goat cheese appetizer was really good. The fried calamari was set on top of plate of marinara whereas I prefer on the side. I had chicken Parmesan which I never ever order out but had craving for it and I was not disappointed . Dessert did not disappoint but I don’t understand why most restaurants use frozen whipped toppings instead of fresh. We’ve had dinner at Shoemakers and William and Henry, both use frozen topping and both are high end restaurants. I’m always disappointed by that.Our server was nice and knowledgeable except she ghosted us for a good bit after we finished eating. Overall we really liked it and are planning on returning Thursday evening.Parking: Valet would be convenient and appreciated especially in winter.Kid-friendliness: Our friends brought their 8 year old son and our server had his pizza cooked and served before we ordered so he was happy and we were able to take our time.Wheelchair accessibility: Both were very convenient.
If you are looking for a classy, jazzy atmosphere where you will enjoy exquisite food and delightful drinks, then Fratelli’s should be on your list of must-visits.

We have loved Fratelli’s and used to keep a standing reservation each Wed for their jazz night. It’s been going down hill for a while. Tonight, unfortunately may be our last time. 1)Our Caesar salad was completely dry. I’m not even a person who likes a lot of dressing but when I say there was no dressing I mean it. I added oil and balsamic to mine, my husband did ask for more dressing. 2) My Spinach Florentine came out luke warm at best, I even had my husband taste it and he was shocked at how cold it was. 3) We ordered coffee with cream, they brought us milk. I did ask another waitress for cream because we couldn’t find our waitress. 4) the chocolate tiramisu cake was hard and freezing cold and tasted like the refrigerator. Our bill for the two of us was over $100. Not impressed at all tonight and very disappointed as we were celebrating a special occasion and we don’t like being complainers.
