I will admit, I was a regular at Fratelli, so I have high expectations. Having been to the previous decarli location (always packed and so loud we couldn't hear each other), we were wondering how this would turn out. Parking was SO much better! We had a reservation for 6:30 on a Friday, and as we walked in there was a large party waiting to be seated. Initially I was ready to rip this review, because the host was actually cleaning and setting up tables (not only for the large party, but many others as well), and she was the only one there, so our 6:30 reservation turned into being seated at 7:00. This had me wondering why we bothered? I watched other servers just hanging around, while this poor host was running ragged (and being treated like a turd by more than one patron). Read on because ...
Once we were seated however, our night turned fantastic. We decided to just go all out and ordered a bunch of small (yeah, right) dishes: oysters (yes!), polenta fries (get these, gorgonzola butter sends these over the top), mussels (the broth was incredible), caesar (I could eat this every day) and the strozzapreti - which we were so full from everything else, but I had to take a bite. Honestly this was such a wonderful meal, we don't feel badly about overeating. My super full belly thanks you for an amazing meal. Can't wait to return. From the ample parking, so a space that you can actually hear your date, to the amazing food, and impeccable service - you cannot go wrong. Get a reservation so you're not turned away at the door, but also, be nice to the host.
