Excellent service! Delicious food! Four of us celebrated my birthday here last night and enjoyed every single detail. The calamari and arancini appetizers were flavorful and breaded perfectly. One person had a Caesar salad, he said it was perfect. For our courses, my husband devoured his Cappellaci All Aragosta, but not before sharing a bite with each of us, and it was soooooo good. I had the Spaghetti Al Funghetto and absolutely loved it. Mom and dad also enjoyed their pasta dishes very much. Our desserts were crème brûlée, cannoli, and tiramisu. All made in house and all delicious. Then the service. The staff took very good care of us. Our waiter happened to be one of the owners, Sergio. We were lucky to hear about his history of working in the restaurant industry in Madison for years at restaurants we had known, now running his own! He was so passionate and interactive about the menu, it was so fun! By the end of our meal, my husband and I already had our next date set for another dinner at Fratelli’s. And in Madison, with so many options to try, we don’t revisit many places often, but Fratelli’s is going to the top of our list.
Fantastic food in downtown Rutgers U.

The food was fine, but the waitress was impatient & rude from the start which we never complained about and remained polite throughout her meal. I'm a kill them with kindness kinda person. All the way thru dessert, we thought, ok maybe we'll give this place another try - these are just some hiccups. Then we waited nearly 20 mins for them to run our credit card only to have the presumed owner come over and tell us that she was having problems with her system and/or internet and did we have any cash. We did not have cash for our party of 4. She said that we would have to wait for the system to come back up. It's 8:30pm, we were the last table in the restaurant, and we had been there for nearly 2 hrs (service was also slow and inconsistent). I asked how much longer we might expect to wait, and she said maybe 10 more mins. I said we'd be happy to wait 10 more mins, but that we had to dash off for our 8:30 commitment. She then went on about how this wasn't her fault (was it our fault?) and she was glad she didn't have a full restaurant. No apologies for the delay or offers to make it right (comp dessert?). We said that if the system wasn't back up in 10 mins, we were happy to pay another way but couldn't wait indefinitely. It was at this point, that our waitress storms over and threatens us with saying that she will call the police if we don't wait. We had no intention of not paying the bill and to threaten the customer with the police over a problem that the restaurant is having is downright uncalled for. The owner then proceeded to run the card again and thankfully it worked and we went on our way. After threats of calling the police, we won't be going back and cannot recommend Fratelli's.

Got turned away at 9:15pm on a Friday when google says 10pm and so does their website. Not a great way to do business....

Everything is deliciosos and service is great!
I was among a party of 8. The waiter was very attentive and pleasant. I ordered Gnocchi Alla Gorgonzola. The Gnocchi was melt in your mouth soft and buttery. The Gorgonzola sauce was a religious experience. I will return to Fratelli's Trattoria!
