I set up a party for 10 people. We did make a reservation. when we got there, the table was set perfectly. The wait staff was very friendly. The food was incredible. The fillets were amazing. The salmon was very good. The salads were wonderful. The appetizers were great.. Every dessert was amazing, we ordered every one of them and then rated them for fun. The winner was the bread pudding. I would definitely recommend this place for a night out, party, anniversary, birthday or whatever l. it was great!! Did not disappoint at all.

Fratelli’s sells itself as an upscale steakhouse. What I received was a masterclass in culinary disappointment. When our waiter claimed the steak was “so tender it could be cut with a spoon,” I was intrigued. That intrigue quickly turned to doubt when he returned with a steak knife (not a spoon). Looking back, that should have been my first warning. What I was served barely qualified as steak. It was a dry, leathery slab of meat, roughly the size and thickness of a deck of playing cards. I’ll own the fact that I ordered it medium-well (a tricky temperature, I admit), but what I got wasn’t medium-well. It was well-done. Maybe even too well-done. Burnt offerings belong on altars, not at a steakhouse. At a lesser restaurant, I might have let it slide. But not here. Not at Fratelli’s. Not for what they charge. I should have spoken to the front-end manager, but I was dining with friends and didn’t want to disrupt the evening. Instead, I kept quiet, went home, gave it some thought... and now here we are. The real tragedy of the evening was that the best thing on the menu wasn’t even the steak. Everyone else at our table ordered pasta or seafood, and everyone else enjoyed their meals. If you take anything from this review: skip the steak. And that’s a harsh truth to admit about a place that calls itself a steakhouse.

So overpriced! They have great options in which I wanted to try, but even the Greek Salad was $12! And if you want to add protein, it’s an extra $8! The complimentary bread was very good and warmed. The chocolate cake was good as well.

Usually, this restaurant checks all the boxes, but last night we made an early reservation for 4:30. The food was fairly simple (spaghetti for kids, fettuccine, steak with side of spaghetti and meatballs). It took almost an hour to receive the food which was frustrating because our family was full from the bread. I just started warming up leftovers for our kids and found a chunk of broken glass in a meatball in my mouth. I cannot imagine what would’ve happened if my child had chewed or swallowed this. After $200 bill, food will now go in trash because I have no clue if there’s more glass. Now I’m nervous not knowing if I actually swallowed glass unknowingly.

Beautiful with on point service. Food was great! We'll definitely go back. Pasta was great...lasagna, Alfredo, and spaghetti.

For the most part one of the best places to eat in Winston Salem. They have delicious steaks, excellent service. The place is very well maintained. Even the chairs were very comfortable. It is very expensive, but it is a special place for the food, service, and atmosphere. There is pleeenty to eat! My only problem is one night my wife and I ate there but didn’t order wine, and our waiter gave us a nasty look like we were poor and wasting his time. At first I thought it was a sly joke, but he seemed genuinely bothered lol. Literally every other time we’ve been there has been top notch service.

The restaurant has an atmosphere that stands out as fine dining and very unique dining incorporating Italian with a steakhouse. We have never been and were recommended by my colleagues and friends. We made reservations about one week in advance then traveled from a not to distance community to Winston Salem for this dining experience. Arrival on time at 645 and inside checking in was simple. The wait for our table took fifteen minutes as we were told our table was not ready for our reservation at this point. We sat down at a nice clean and well setup table then waited in by our waiter who seems to have many years of experience. We waited for another about fifteen minutes after we closed our menus deciding on our selection before he returned. He was very informative on our questions and provided answers we were looking for. As we waited for our dinner we could tell the proper attire did not apply anymore to the restaurant as people sitting next to us had basketball shorts, graphic T-shirts and a ball cap on. We of course dressed appropriately for the evening in business casual which is usually appropriate these days. The food was very good especially the shareable Tomahawk steak that was recommended by our friend. We recommend the restaurant but it is not one of the more upscale that what it appears as when we saw the overall customers were just dressed in everyday attire. Overall nice dining yes but not an upscale special occasion restaurant. We were not disappointed it just seemed like we were more dressed up than we should have been, could have just worn just casual clothing.

This is my 3rd visit to Fratelli's. I was unfortunately disappointed yet again. We met a group for a celebration 2 days ago. Our server was friendly, but not as refined as to be expected. He was attentive enough but several times we needed something and he inattentively walked away or wasn't around. The table was not cleared regularly as fine dining requires either. Drinks were ordered all around and I got a pomegranate martini. I requested very little of the cranberry and pineapple splashes it described, but unfortunately it tasted like all pineapple and wasn't very strong. Others seemed content with their beer and wine. The food was most disappointing. For a "fine steak house" the MENU prices were as expected, but the included house salad was served family style (a disappointing surprise to us all) and the quality was sub-par. Lettuce was pale and limp, and the dressing was a bit heavy, thought it tasted ok. I ordered the seafood special of halibut and shrimp. It was salty (an issue on a previous visit) and tasted ok, but not amazing for $55. Fish and shrimp were slightly over cooked. The house gnocchi was its only redeeming quality, it was silky and delicious. My husband ordered the cowboy ribeye off the butcher menu (no listed prices). He requested a light medium rare and got medium at best. Flavor was good, but it was a thin cut and average quality. When we discovered it was $100, we were seriously disappointed and felt a bit robbed. We've purchased and prepared the same ourselves with far superior results. The server said the signature dessert was a Krispy Kreme bread pudding. Not my thing but hubby wanted it. It was nothing more than donuts pressed together and baked with a scoop of ice cream on top. Exceptionally pedestrian and disappointing! So, to end this missive, we will not be returning to Fratelli's again. Three strikes, a $200+ bill, and they are out.

Food was excellent and well prepared! However, we were very disappointed by the service we received by the staff. I made our reservation months in advance and noted from the beginning that requested a booth and we were celebrating my mom's birthday. However, during the duration of our meal, they did not acknowledge my mom's birthday whatsoever, and they tried to seat us at a standard table and not a booth which we had to correct them on. Even throughout the entire meal, our waitresses did not even offer any additional refills of our beverages nor did they even offer to check in on how our meal was. It took them so long to return to our table we didn't even bother ordering any after-dinner drinks which we were planning to have. And the worst of all was when our check was returned after payment, our waitress slammed it on the table, rolled her eyes as we said thank you and walked away....... What a "great" way to celebrate a birthday..... Very disappointing. My father spoke with the manager to consult this, and the manager only offered apologies, nothing else to make up for the behavior by both waitresses...... We don't know if we will be back.

First time at Fratellis and it was enjoyable. Overall experience was as expected for a higher end steakhouse. Similar to Outwest in Kernersville. Both of our steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and well seasoned. Truffle fries are good. Garlic Broccoli was a little bland as if the garlic was tossed in after cooking but still good enough as a side. Our order came out quick and hot. Decent selection of bourbon which is always a plus.

This was my first time trying this spot in Winston, and honestly, probably my last--unless someone else is picking up the check. I tend to eat pretty clean, and unfortunately, the healthier options here just weren't good. The mussels were extremely fishy, and my husband's $46 fish special was so dry he said it was probably the worst fish he's ever had. On the positive side, my dad's steak was solid, the calamari was tasty, and the house salad had potential (though it was overloaded with cheese). The martini I ordered was also excellent, and the service we received was friendly and attentive. That said, if you're more health-conscious like me, this place really doesn't offer many good options.

I had a reservation 7:45 on a Sunday evening. The service was great!! Got the crab cakes for an appetizer- they were good but the presentation was underwhelming. For my entree I got penne with vodka sauce- it tasted like regular marinara sauce. Good flavor, just not what I was expecting. Glad we tried somewhere new, but probably will choose other steakhouse options in the future.

Very much a good time and great place. Expect t to be very much attended to. I didn't know what to expect but it was worth it. The fried Lobster was amazing but the sauce for it took away some of the taste. By itself it was great. I've never gone crazy for lamb chop but theirs was incredible. Seasoned just right and perfectly tender. My ribeye was strongly seasoned and appetizing from start to finish. I faced no problems with wait and the service was great. Great overall experience a little dim on the lighting but a great choice nonetheless.

We have visited Fratelli's a few times throughout our years in Winston and it has been somewhat of a mixed bag. I have tried different entree's every time I have visited and found their regular steaks to be good but nothing better than some other more affordable options. I found their chicken parmesan to be delicious but not the best I have tried. This most recent time I tried a steak on special that was wet aged in bourbon mash. This steak was far and away my favorite item I have tried from here. Perfectly cooked and flavorful. Outside of the entree's the restaurant, the Fratelli's salad is fantastic and the deacon tower cake is very good as well. The restaurant is very traditionally decorated and the staff are always friendly, efficient, and prompt. All in all Fratelli's is a great local option for a pretty good meal, however, not all entree's have been a home run!

Went in for my birthday dinner and the entire meal was absolute perfection. We started with appetizers that were the perfect portion and they were absolutely delicious. My husband and I got the tomahawk special and it was to absolutely die for. It was a massive tomahawk (40oz bone in) and came with two sides, two salads, and a bread pudding for dessert. Their house salad is one of my favorites and I always look forward to it. The steak was cooked perfectly.

As I do with all new to me restaurants, I read reviews, and if available, detailed info about the spot and its owners. In the case of Fratelli's, the caustic comments of one reviewer caught my attention. In two reviews a month apart, he wanted to know why they called this an Italian restaurant, which in my mind leaps to exactly what is an Italian Steakhouse? Turns out this is the epitome of an Italian Steakhouse, even if several of the owners are of Greek ancestry! On the back of the large Italian immigration in the early 1900's, restaurants catering to Italian tastes (pastas, pizza) were opened, especially in lower east side of Manhattan and the near south side of Chicago! As the Italian offerings grew in popularity with non-Italian Americans, these restaurants came under pressure to serve the hunks of red meat so loved by them - the Italian Steakhouse was born - you classify as such by simply serving classic Italian dishes as well as steaks. I have heard much about this steakhouse and its broad menu, including a number of classic Italian dishes. I don't completely trust steakhouses that try to do too much, though admittedly the venerable Ryan's here in Winston has pulled this off for years! This place opened about 10 years ago in the spot that housed one of the locations of Staley's restaurant - one of Winston's earliest upscale restaurants, evolved into a local chain - followed a few years later by Sam's Gourmet (best salad bar EVER, Market Street West would be next - both had great bread and sardines) - both places I still miss! But on to the subject at hand. I had not been to this restaurant before, but the opportunity arose recently - special occasions for family members are cool! On our visit, we ordered several apps - Steakhouse Bacon ($14.29) - Million Dollar Bacon at First Watch - $5.99 for FOUR strips), Calamari ($15.49), and Onion Rings ($14). Obviously little here is inexpensive, so the value aspect will take a hit, even if the quality is there. The entrees we chose were the 12 oz Ribeye ($44.99), the Lasagna ($20.99), and the Chopped Steak ($20.99). All items came with a Fratelli Salad and a side, raise to a Premium Side for $1. We swapped out 2 of the Fratelli Salads for a Caesar and a Greek, so we could try some different items. We chose the Brussel Sprouts, Jumbo Loaded Baked Potato, and Asparagus. While we waited for the food parade to begin, we enjoyed our Adult Beverages, and they were soon joined by the Bread Service with a seasoned dipping sauce - spoiler alert, that very well may be the two best items of the entire meal, seriously! The apps leaked out of the kitchen in a relatively slow drip, which was not a problem on this occasion since we intended on sharing - another time perhaps a party foul! Now to the apps - the Steakhouse Bacon is an overpriced joke at $14.29 - a single slice of bacon, thick or not, I don't care how you choose to sauce it, or put a small amount of crostini and cheese with it. No return! Calamari was simply ok, would rather have that at Village Tavern, pricing is similar, cut and breading is better. Onion Rings much the same, refer you to the ones at Davie Tavern. These 2 are not at all bad, but the quality doesn't support the price! The salads were ok, with the Fratelli's salad being a bit too sweet for me! So we move on to the entrees - and our mixed bag continues, all of it haunted by the pricing! The Lasagne was good, the steak was also good, though a bit overcooked, while the chopped steak was dry and lacked flavor. The sides were ok, with the sprouts being the clear winner. All in all, the food was average to good, but at these prices that falls more than a bit short of a good experience! One of the repetitive themes in a number of reviews was the expression "hit or miss", hard to argue with after this visit.

Been trying to get here for over a year. They did not disappoint. Food was amazing. Steak cooked to perfection. Sides were average but good. Service wasn't spectacular but was not bad. Great place I highly recommend.

A very nice restaurant location (with a giant cow outside) which makes for a rather excellent first impression that you'll be eating steak when you come here. The service was prompt. We tried the calamari, chopped salad, and the ribeye. Calamari: Nice and crunchy with reasonable size pieces of calamari to coating ratio. The marinara sauce was nice. Chopped Salad: very savory and pretty great for my carnivorous nature but my partner felt it was a bit too overwhelming and not enough vegetable. It did taste good though and I thought each bite was different which was good. Ribeye: we got a medium rare steak which ended up closer to medium to medium well. The crust was on the softer side which was mildly disappointing but the flavor was pretty good. Wasn't remarkable but nothing majorly flawed with the exception of the doneness. Overall, it was decent but I did not feel it lived up to the hype. It was a decent steakhouse but didn't stick out compared to any other steakhouse.

Had reservations for valentines for 730and still had to wait , but let's be honest we was expecting that so we wasn't upset about that at all but a few ppl was , we got seated at around 8pm but they put us all the way in the back by the dumpster lol just kidding it was the outdoor patio it was set up nicely as well but they should have that area for all the ppl that didn't have a reservation but once again we didn't complain or minded to much we was there for a reason to have the biggest and best steak they had. The 2 servers that they had working the outdoor patio area rocked it my drinks was not empty at all they knew the menu and was very helpful I truly hope the ppl that was eating in the main area got treated as good as we did out back lol the food came out fast and hot ,the cocktails came out quick as well but let's get to the food For starters we got They gave us some dinner rolls with olive oil The Fried lobster tail and it was very good 10 out 10 The bacon 8 out 10 FYI we made some sliders out of the lobster &bacon with the rolls Main course We got the Tomahawk with crab cake , grilled shrimp asparagus , mashed potatoes ,garlic spinach and 4 cheese risotto

I made a reservation at the beginning of February for the end of the month on a Sunday night at 6:30pm for 2 people. There was a good crowd when we arrived, but not super crowded. We arrived 10 minutes early and they sat us right down at our table. For our appetizer, we ordered the steakhouse bacon ($13.09). It was interesting. Not terrible, but a high price for 1 piece of bacon. The Boursin cheese that came with it was very good. The free bread and bread dipping oil was a nice addition. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Only I ordered a drink and none of the cocktails on their menu interested me so I ordered a dirty Shirley with house vodka ($9.50). It tasted good. For dinner, my husband and I ordered the same exact thing. 7oz Filet Mignon with a side of onion and Parmesan hash browns ($43.99/person). We switched out the fratellis salad with the Caesar salad ($3.49 upgrade/person). We both ordered our steak medium. My steak was more medium rare and my husband's was medium so we ended up switching steaks. The steak was enjoyable, but not enough for me to make a special trip back here for it. The hash browns tasted fine, but we needed to add salt and pepper. For dessert we ordered bread pudding ($7.99). That was super yummy and a great way to end our meal. I also felt the price was reasonable. I gave this place a 4 because of the obvious difference in temperature of the steaks and the fact they aren't as transparent about their pricing. I do think the flavors could have been a little better as well. I will say that we had a great waiter and I appreciated that she never tried to get me to upgrade anything to spend more money. She did well with keeping up with filling my husband's water bc he drinks a lot. Overall, not a bad experience and we were thankful that we had a gift card bc our total before tip and our gift card was $134.33.

Valentine's Day 2025 and Fratelli's did not disappoint. The food and service were impeccable. Just remember to book well in advance of the holiday because they were turning away walk-ins.

Extremely expensive with the meats (but the quality was unmatched). There were a handful of slightly cheaper, but still relatively expensive, options. Food was incredible. Ambiance was your typical fine dining experience. Service was impeccable. Usually they take reservations but they let me in with a short wait and a short time frame. Hard to go wrong with this place if you can afford it.

I'll be the first to admit that I've had both hit and miss experiences at Fratelli's. Sometimes the service has been superb, and sometimes the food has felt disappointing. This past visit was, without a doubt, the most top-tier visit I've had. I always enjoy going at Christmas because the decor is so festive and fun. But unfortunately sometimes they're busy and the service just isn't outstanding. On this visit, we had the server team of James and Dawn, and they truly made our experience. While the food was also the best meal I've had at Fratelli's, our servers made the experience. Thank you so much for outstanding service and a memorable evening from start to finish! Must haves on a visit to Fratelli's: Calamari. It's lemony and cooked perfectly. Always a winner. A cocktail. They have a large cocktail menu, but I personally love their cosmo. Brussels sprouts. The standout side. They're roasted with apples and bacon, perfectly soft and infinitely delicious. Worth the upcharge. Dessert. I can't pick between the Krispy Kreme bread pudding and the bananas foster. Get both. Thank me later. I got the NY strip on this visit and it was cooked to medium rare perfection. I did the add on of a crab cake. It was good, but not the best I'd ever had. I would try the shrimp next time! This was perfect for our girls night out, but it's great for dates, celebrations or special occasions!

I recently attended a conference a Wake Forest. The host of the conference took me to dinner. We were greeted by friendly hostess, and then to our table. Our waitress just so happened to be a Texas girlie like me. She shared the specials which of course I went with the Sea-bass. Why because I always go with the Sea-bass it also came with their staple house salad, which is absolutely delicious. The Sea-bass was absolutely perfect.The crispy hashbrowns with onions in it was a surprising touch that I didn't know. I needed. Although I couldn't take another bite, they insisted on sharing a dessert I chose the banana froster not only was the best piece poundcake I ever had but the candy pretzels wasn't added treat along with the homemade vanilla ice cream. Only I could've brought it back with me. the restaurant itself was quaint not very busy. Most definitely will be back.

Appetizers were great, service could have been better. We ordered steak specials that were so overpriced that the waitress should have listed the prices when discussing them. I was disappointed by that and not sure I would return due to that.

We had an annual Holiday celebration here on the covered and heated patio. It was a catered event with a lot of people. The set up was cozy but not a lot of room to mingle. Appetizers were huge and very good, wasn't sure I could eat my main course. Italian meatballs, Yum! I selected their salmon with lobster sauce and ate every bit, veggies were fresh and seasonal and salad was superb. The best part was the friendly and very prompt service. Just a nod at the wait staff got my drinks refilled. Krispy-kreme bread pudding with vanilla ice cream topped off the evening.

My experience at Fratelli's was nothing short of awesome. We started with salads, I had the lasagna and tried the filet as well (perfectly cooked as ordered), and tried the Krispy Kreme bread pudding for dessert. Everything we ordered was exceptional and I imagine that extends to the rest of the menu. The service was great, the staff was super nice and accommodating. We had a very pleasant experience and experienced any of the shortcomings mentioned in other reviews. I didn't pay much attention to the inside of the restaurant but I remember it being up to standards. I highly recommend trying Fratelli's if you haven't!

Finally got to check this one off my bucket list! This place has been around a long time and generally has a good reputation! We had a Friday night reservation and were seated after about 5 minutes. Staff were fairly friendly. Ambiance was dimmed and the decor was classy and representative of the city's history. They started us off with some drinks and bread. The best bread and olive oil dip combo I've had in town; warm and soft inside but nice crusty edges to soak up the dip! Surely a quality oil topped a salt & spice blend that was rosemary forward with a little heat kick. Service was a little slow, so we skipped apps and ordered our entrees. I order the filet mignon with the house salad and four cheese risotto. The salad came first and is one of the best "house" salads I've had! I love the toppings and flavor combo; tart green apples, sweet cranberries, toasty pecans, creamy feta, with a great dressing! Unfortunately after that, it took over an to get the rest of our food. No one came to update us or tell us sorry the delay. They did refill our drinks and offered more bread, so it made think the wait was typical. Thankful for the bread, but you don't want to fill up when you've got a pricy steak on the way. Finally we got our food. It looked great. Good quality and very flavorful steak. It was undercooked to my request, I ordered medium and it was certainly rare. I actually did not care and did not want to wait any longer to eat. I was surprised that my risotto needed some salt and could have been served hotter. I would pick a different side next time! HusBen had the scampi, and although he was satisfied, it did not impress. We both agreed we would not order that again. This was honestly difficult to rate! When we pay over $100 we have high expectations, and for that price they gotta step it up! I usually would not want to return to a 3 star place, but I'm telling y'all that bread and salad is so good. Maybe next time we'll just have to shoot for a less busy night and not spend so much on the entree. I hope to return and improve this rating.

Great portions, great food, and great service! I've come here twice and both was for a family celebration. My most recent visit was to celebrate my birthday with my parents. My mom made reservations, but came about 10 minutes prior to our reservation time. Although we were prepared to wait, our table was ready for us and we were sat immediately. We were also quickly greeted by our server who was delightful. On this visit we had 2 servers that were equally lovely and attentive. The food is so good and the portions are filling. You most definitely get your money's worth. On my first visit my parents and I shared the crab cake appetizer and I had the Eggplant Parmesan. Both of these dishes I love in general, but especially from Fratelli's! The Eggplant Parm comes with risotto and not pasta, but it complimented it so well. The crab cake appetizer comes with 2 crab cakes and a corn "salsa" that compliments so well. Each entree also comes with a Fratelli's salad which is so very good. It's iceberg lettuce, granny smith apples, dried cranberries, pecans, and their house dressing. I'm allergic to pecans so I always get it without those and they have never accidentally given me pecans either. The flavors all compliment each other well and it's so light and refreshing! On this most recent visit we had the fried lobster appetizer that came with a honey mustard dipping sauce. This was the special for the day, so it is not on their regular menu. For my appetizer I ordered the salmon and it was so good. Cooked to perfection and the pasta cake beneath complimented it so well. My parents have ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, ribeye special with chimichurri, ribeye with loaded potato, and lasagna. I've tasted them all and DELICIOUS! Since we went for my birthday, my server gave me a complimentary bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. The bread pudding was made with Krispy Kreme donuts and my oh my what a treat! Highly recommend and love to go hear for family celebrations! Can't wait for my next visit when I'm in town!

Went there last night for my Birthday. I got a ribeye and a $29 add on Lobster tail. It was the size of a Scallop! My wife ordered the Chicken "Parmigiana". They served a white piece of grilled chicken with sauce and moz, not a chicken cutlet! WTF She sent it back and ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were horrible and the sauce was very, very sweet! We pointed this out to the waiter (who was a nice guy) and he referred to either Greek owners, or cooks, not sure. But if your going to call your restaurant an "Italian" Steakhouse. You need a lesson in Italian cooking!

Nice spot for a fancier/upscale dinner! My friends and I have been wanting to come here for awhile to celebrate something. We tried Valentine's Day but weren't able to make a reservation, so we came recently after finishing a big race. It was a good place for a celebratory meal. We made a reservation for Sunday but still were only able to be seated either at 515pm or 745pm so we went with the later time slot. Our table was ready when we arrived though and our server was nice and attentive with our orders, bread and water refills etc. The bread was delicious- still steaming hot and dangerously easy to fill up on before even looking at the menu. For our entrees, we all got either a filet or sirloin, with fries, brussel sprouts, and veggies as our sides. The house salad that came out first was really tasty and well dressed. I personally had the filet and brussel sprouts with apple and bacon. I ordered my filet medium, but I think it came out slightly more cooked- which wasn't a huge deal. It tasted decent, but honestly not the best cut I've had by any means. I enjoyed the brussel sprouts too, but didn't find too many bacon or apple bits- flavor wise though, still decent. All in all, I'd say this is a great spot for a more elevated (and of course pricier) dining experience and the food as a whole is very good. I think I'd actually be interested in trying some of their pizza and pasta dishes next time! Couple side notes - it's a bit chilly inside and they add 20% gratuity to the bill automatically (we were a party of four).

I've been wanting to come here for quite a while, and I was finally able to visit this place, and it did not dissapoint . I ordered the lobster bisque soup as a starter and its truly on of the best and creamiest lobster bisques I've had so far in Winston Salem the starter salad was also very good as for my entree I ordered the Ribeye with sauteed vegetables I have to say the steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to the perfect temperature however the only thing that did throw me off a little bit was the actual cut of the steak it was a bit thinner that what you usually get at a steak house restaurant , my mom order the chicken sandwich with fries and it was very flavorful . I have to say the service here was great our server was very attentive and helpful just the service alone left us wanting to come back! Overall, this is a good place for a date or even family dinners and it just so cozy inside and there's plenty of parking I believe they also have outdoor seating which is great.

I have been here many times yet always forget to give a review. We came here for my birthday dinner and had the best time. We had Amazing service and perfect date night ambiance! Wish I had taken more photos of our food! Always love their salad and bread. Instead of steak this time I opted for their chicken fettuccine Alfredo and wow it was huge portion and so delicious. I also did not get a chance to take a picture of the delicious Krispy Kreme bread pudding dessert we got for my birthday. My husband enjoyed everything as well. He had a filet and mashed potatoes. We will likely be coming back for his birthday next month!

Our first visit to Fratellis, had heard such great reviews. We made a reservation 1+ week in advance. We were greeted & served by friendly & accommodating staff all evening. We ordered the Calamari w/limoncello aioli as our app & it was delicious! Salads came with our entrees, the Caesar Salad was average but the Fratellis salad was unique w/cranberries, feta cheese & nuts- scrumptious. For entrees we ordered the filet mignon(mashed potatoes), NY Strip (baked potato), the Cowboy Ribeye special (mashed potatoes) & the Chilean Seabass special (risotto). All entrees were delicious, the sides were ok, nothing special. If there is one criticism it was the surprise, while there were no prices for the steaks, when the bill came the Cowboy Ribeye was $100, almost double the cost of the other entrees. Nice touch for dessert was a surprise birthday dessert. We will return but will be more cautious about prices in the future.

It is ok, but overpriced for what you get and quality. This is our third time visiting and James, our server, was the best thing about the experience. This time I had the filet and it was under cooked for how I ordered. Last time I had the Chicken Marsala and it was flavorless. The first time I had a pizza and it was ok but nothing extraordinary. The calamari appetizer was pretty good. Salad is way too sweet for my preference.

December 15, 2024 I along with four friends with a reservation were seated in an area I would call the 'Wind Tunnel'. This is a table placed by the swinging door of the outdoor area which is enclosed with plastic and heated by tower heaters. A lot of traffic in and out of the outdoor area, wait staff carrying trays of food and taking orders were in and out of this door the entire time. While we didn't mind that so much, every time the door opened, we received a gush of cold air and so much so that we all had to eat with our coats on. The food was ok but it's hard to believe the restaurant would seat anyone in this wind tunnel. All of us became sick after eating there, not a stomach sickness but evidently there were a lot of germs blowing over us the entire time we ate. This is not good care of their customers and I will never eat there again.

Have eaten at the bar a couple of times over the years. I don't particularly like the environment. This is an upscale steak house and bar feels like an open neighborhood bar. I just don't feel the bar area matches what Fratelli's is billing themselves as. Wine was half price but the appetizers were expensive.

Recently has a great experience at Fratelli's! The first time I went I wasn't a huge fan of the steak, but had delicious chicken Parmesan. This time I stuck with the Italian portion of the menu and ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. It was definitely the right move as it was delicious! It's hard to go out and get good Italien because nothing beats my moms Sunday sauce. However, this was pretty darn good! The Fratelli's salad is also incredible no matter what you pair it with.

I love the giant cow outside and the steakhouse decor of Fratellis. The staff is very warm and welcoming. The service is top-notch and 5* all the way. The staff were always on top of everything, letting no glass of water or tea ever hit bottom. The food, however, is firmly 3*. For our starter, we had the calamari, which itself was tasty, but we found the tomato jam for it off-putting. For dinner, we had the lasagna with meatball, the Ribeye, and the split bone Cowboy. Sadly, none of them were exceptional. The steaks were all undercooked. We ordered one medium and the other medium-rare. Both came out the same, rare to the point of mooing. Also, the cuts of meat just didn't feel like they were worth the price point. I love a good ribeye, but this was just mediocre. On a positive note, the fresh baked bread and seasoned dipping oil are delicious. We were too full to try any desserts. I have read that this place is hit or miss. Tonight was definitely a miss for us.

Always forget about this place ! But in a last minute where shall we eat decision . This place won. Definitely a little higher end. On a Sunday night there was a 30 minute wait! So we sat at the bar where they provide full service. Great bartender and server and we got everything in good time and boy was everything delicious! Started with just a glass of Prosecco. The bread service is excellent . The warm bread soft and chewy ! Excellent olive oil. Then we shared the special which was grilled corvina , a lovely light white flaky fish. Which came with grilled shrimp,, asparagus and mashed potatoes and a lemon piccata sauce. Absolutely delicious. My friend also ordered the eggplant parmigiana which could literally feed 3 people . The spinach risotto that came with that was so good as was the dish itself. The salad they serve is a signature for this place. Cranberries and pecans and just a great mix with a lovely dressing. You can definitely make a meal out if it. Of course dessert ! Is a must and although I know we would have loved the Krispy Kreme bread pudding we went with the chocolate molten lava cake. Warm, gooey chocolate heaven ! With vanilla ice cream, this was a perfect end to a great meal . Frattelis is a classic establishment with a nice bar and great seating area. A great place for. A special occasion. Glad I came back here after a very long time !

In short: food 4/5, everything else: 1/5. Arrived promptly for a 7:00 reservation. Was told that they were just waiting on getting the table ready and we would just have to wait a few minutes; no problem. They suggested we grab a drink while we wait so I grabbed a water from the bar. That should have been my first red flag: water glass dirtied with a red sticky/juice residue. Waited another 15 minutes and went to inquire about the status of our table. We were told they were waiting on a table to get up but couldn't offer any other specifics. Another 20 minutes go by and we see some larger parties sat. I understand they had their tables reserved as well. However, they should honor all reservations. It is your fault if you offer too many reservations at a certain time. It is also your fault if you seat too many walk ins when you know you have reservations on the books. Don't promise what you can't provide. Finally, at 7:45 we were seated. Glasses and plates still wet, and poor attention to detail. A member of our party spoke to the manager as we were taken to the table to express our dissatisfaction and he offered a round of drinks. Wonderful. Moments later, he came over to say he had some appetizers on the way for us. Even better. However, we didn't get to pick and one of our party was allergic to calamari and the other vegetarian so they couldn't enjoy the sausage & peppers or the fried calamari. Those that could eat it really enjoyed it. We ordered the fried cheese (amazing!) and had plenty of bread and herbed olive oil. All four of us had the Fratellis salad and it was incredible. Not your typical "house" salad but I am so glad this is what was included on the entrees. The 3 steaks were cooked to the correct temperatures. Our fourth entree lagged 20 minutes, and everyone else was done by the time the flatbread came (which was surprising it took that much longer than a medium well ribeye). Oddly, we had two servers that evening that were working together; not in a training sense but a team. However, the service was abysmal. Only came by to drop food and even then it wasn't but a few times. No one to check temperatures of steak or refill beverages. There were several times where stands with trays of dirty plates sat in the walkway by our table. When the check was dropped, we were charged for the first round of drinks even though it was offered earlier. While we appreciate the appetizers, it was somewhat of a misplaced gesture. I understand off nights happen but this just missed the mark in every single way. The food was stellar but the front of house severely disappointed. Maybe try a weeknight or sit at the bar? A takeout order even.

This is one of our favorites. The salad is awesome, the steaks good, and the Deacon chocolate cake- no words

I made a reservation for my birthday for a party of eight at 7:15. At approximately 3:15 the day of, I received a call confirming the reservation but also telling me two of their policies - they will only do one check on one card for parties of eight or more and they don't allow outside food (e.g. a birthday cake). I texted my party to let them know about the check so they could bring cash to give to whoever would have to charge it, which is when I was informed that one person couldn't make it, so we would be a party of seven and, therefore, the check policy shouldn't apply. I wasn't sure if anyone was planning to bring me a cake, so I didn't mention that part. Regardless, I was annoyed to be told these policies four hours prior to arrival instead of when I made the reservation. When we arrived, we were seated right away in a nice area. Everything started off great. We were able to make drink and appetizer orders that came out in a timely fashion. My dad mentioned to the server when we ordered that he was covering his girlfriend, me, and my husband, clearly communicating separate checks. Our server took the cake my aunt brought back to the kitchen, which surprised me given the policy explained earlier, but I was glad they were seemingly making an exception. But then things went downhill. We waited at least 45 minutes for our entrees to appear with almost no updates from our servers during the wait and very little apology once the food did arrive. While I very much enjoyed my appetizer (fried mozzarella), I did not think my entree (chicken Marsala) was all that great and the sides were very mediocre. The table pretty much all agreed that their food was good but not worth the prices we were paying, especially since we had to wait nearly an hour for it. The long wait times continued as we waited for boxes and the checks. We requested our cake at this time, and the server then stated their policy about not serving outside food. We were confused and asked so why did she take the cake back to the kitchen for us? She stated that my aunt who handed it to her wanted it to go back to the kitchen to keep safe and not be messed up. My aunt said no such thing and anyway that's ridiculous. If we couldn't eat it in the restaurant, we could have just kept it with us instead of sending it to sit some random place in the back. Why didn't she reinforce the policy when we gave her the cake?! Her actions definitely implied that they were making an exception, and we were highly annoyed. Then after this confusing conversation that clearly left us miffed, they deigned to come out with a free dessert for me with a candle in it for my birthday, full well knowing that I didn't care to have their dessert when I had a birthday cake waiting on me. It was just very weird. Lastly, when the check came, it was all one check despite the fact that we were a party of seven, and my dad had asked for separate checks from the beginning. Because it had taken so long to get the check in the first place, we just went with it and luckily people still had cash they could give to my dad. But we were frustrated that this policy was still enforced on our party despite no longer being a party of eight. Needless to say, we all agreed we wouldn't be back. The food was not worth the prices nor the lackluster service we received. If we're paying $100 for a steak (my husband's order), the service and wait times better be perfection.

We had reservations a few weeks ago for our anniversary on a Friday night. They were definitely packed and waited for a bit in our table. The FOH manager (or someone in leadership) definitely let the other workers know how disappointed she was with the wait-it was a bit awkward. We had two servers, but the service seemed to be a bit awkwardly staggered. I started with the lobster bisque, that was delicious. It was the perfect consistency of taste and cream. I ordered the chicken Marsala for my main course and had enough to take home for 2 additional meals. It's definitely a good date night spot!

VERY DISAPPOINTING! I met my friends at Fratellis for a girls night out. We generally pick what we think are high end restaurants for this occasion. We got there early and were seated right away. We started with cocktails, then appetizers and finally our meal. The food took a long time to get to us but we were visiting and we are pretty patient so that was ok. The food came and was mediocre at best. Mine lacked flavor. Now with all of that said, I still would have not given them this unfavorable review, however, after we finished our meal the manager Zack came to our table, asked us how our meal was and then proceeded to ask us to leave because he needed the table for another group of people! Are you kidding me... RUDE! I was humiliated. This has never happen to me and it should have not happened tonight. I will not be going back.

Decided not to eat here. The host staff was so unwelcoming and unfriendly that we decided to go someplace else. Maybe we'll try again later but as a former hostess, the hostess's attitude is was very off-putting and made us not want to spend time there. Update: we were told it was a 45 minute wait (it was 7:30) and put our names on the list. It's now 2 pm the next day and we got a text that our table is ready

Highly recommend the Kansas style steak and mozzarella triangles. Great staff! Never had an issue with service. Food has always been on point , better each time I visit.

Fratelli's is one for the books. We arrived and was told the wait was an hour to an hour and a half. After the host spoke with the manager we were seated within minutes. We were very appreciative for that. Once we were seated we ordered an appetizer- the mozzarella sticks. They were delicious. My husband ordered the Shrimp Alfredo. He loved it. I ordered salmon and a baked potatoe, with their signature salad. Everything was cooked prefect. The portion size was just right. Our waitresses were wonderful. Thank you Fratelli's for making this an enjoyable and pleasant experience. We will be visiting soon.

Food never disappoints. We always look forward to their house salad. You definitely leave full. Service is amazing. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They even gave me a complimentary fried calamari. Ambiance was chill. Definitely will go back again and again.

Delicious. Friendly and attentive staff who helped with dinner selection options. I'm not a steak person but tried my husband's steak (cooked medium) for the first time and fell in love. Their house salad with the cranberries, feta and light vinaigrette was delicious. I got the chicken Parmesan and it was delicious. Chicken was juicy. Clean facility.

I liked the ambiance and the service. The restaurant has an established aged Italian community staple feel to it, similar to restaurants up north that have been around for generations. I prefer that over a chain restaurant. There were plenty of waitstaff and front and back employees. It seems a lot of restaurants are using Covid as a reason to understaff but not this restaurant. The restaurant was well staffed when we were there. The food overall makes this a great choice, the prices are a little high but when you take everything into consideration it evens out. First let me tell you this restaurant has the absolute best side salad! The house dressing is a mix between a creamy Italian and a Greek dressing and it was heavenly! I also liked the chopped green apples in the salad. Our steaks were a tad undercooked, we ordered medium but it was more medium rare, still good so giving 4 stars. The bread pudding wasn't my favorite but I am a fan of the House of Blues version and so far no one beats their bread pudding.

I almost hate to post this but I feel like this place is so well reviewed that I was completely caught off guard by our experience. I will give points for our party of 5 being seated almost immediately at our reservation time. I thought the hostess was friendly and inviting. We had a team of two waiting on us. The man was kind but a tad pushy about the lobster appetizer mentioning it three times even after we had ordered the calamari and the fried mozzarella. Then came his teammate ...... let me just say this ... the attempt at up-selling that took place was out of control. We eat out often and I have been to many restaurants that do the subtle up-sell but woww I have never experienced anything like this in my lifetime. I don't use the term insufferable lightly but we literally could not wait for her to leave our table. In fact it was so obnoxious that none of us ordered steak after my mother made the mistake of trying to order "just a Ny strip" and declined the special filet they had available which resulted in a lecture of sorts lol. I am a very patient person and have been on the other side of the table and I know there is pressure to up-sell but the way she approached it was speaking to us like we were stupid and that doesn't come across well. She even argued with one of us for not adding the balsamic drizzle to the pizza, we finally just asked for it on the side so she would move on..... I could probably forgive all of these things if the food had been great. The salad, the calamari, and the pizza were good. The steak was good, nothing spectacular, but the pasta was flavorless and the fried mozzarella was cut in half too hot so the hardened liquid cheese was stuck on the bottom of the plate and the fix for that happened to be a handful of parsley to cover it up. The ambiance is nice. I wouldn't call it upscale but it's got all the leather and stone that you'd expect from a steak house. Maybe we will try again but no time soon.
