I was craving real Italian and had my two grandchildren who are 7 years old dining with me. They ordered the noodles and fries(and those were really good) and split the adult lasagna. The staff was so accommodating to us , put us in the back so they weren’t bothered by the Trivia, brought them Kiddy cocktails and were super nice to them. They recommended the Gnocchi for me and it was simply amazing. The sauce and sausage combination is spectacular. I will definitely be ordering this for takeout when I need some comfort food this winter. Everything tasted fresh and was well prepared. The kids even had a great time which usually they do not enjoy going out to eat because they say it takes too long. Thank you for the great dinner.

Thank you Fratelli's for accommodating our party of 13! We were able to make reservations for a Sunday afternoon and were given the entire back part of the restaurant. It was a nice, quiet atmosphere for us to enjoy the many things we were celebrating as a family. Food and server were wonderful! We will visit again when we are in the area!)

Lt me start by saying we’ve been getting pizza here for YEARS and love it. They have really good ham, pepperoni and cheese. We have 4 kids and usually get a super gigantic pizza (26” maybe?) and usually have a few squares left over for later. Sounds good, right? More often than not, we pick it up ourselves because it’s faster than delivery; though, it can be a challenge to park sometimes. Anyway, we ordered delivery tonight. An 18” (because only half of our family is home and an 18” works for 4 of us, usually with one slice left). As soon as we opened the box, I could tell they sent the wrong size. An 18” normally fills the entire box - occasionally, there’s even a very slight bend on one end of the crust where they closed the box (because like I said, the box is normally full). I called Fratelli’s right away, they double checked my order and said since it was delivered by Uber eats, they couldn’t do anything about it….except it’s not the driver’s fault they put a 16” pizza in an 18” box. The person said the driver confirmed it was an 18” and once they do that, it’s basically not their problem any more (those are *not* the words they used, but that was the message). I said I could send a photo for proof but they said that did t really matter as it was confirmed by the driver. I asked how the driver would know that it was the wrong size and she said the boxes are marked with their size on the bottom. This box definitely had an 18 stamped on it, so of course the driver confirmed it. That’s what the box said. I told the employee it was the right size box but wrong size pizza and again, they said there was nothing they could do about it and told me to have a good night. I wasn’t expecting a lot - certainly not a new pizza - in fact I started my call by saying “I have my order but I wanted to let you know…” Maybe just an “I’m sorry that happened” or “thanks for the info, noted” or “you know we make those by hand because we an authentic damn pizzeria and sometimes we make mistakes or the dough shrinks up.” That would’ve sufficed. In the grand scheme of things, is this *that* big of a deal?! Not really. I’m out a few extra bucks and and our bellies aren’t as full as usual. There are worse things. I can’t say anything bad about the pizza, it tasted as good as usual, and we demolished it all the same. Still. Fratelli’s, it was our last order.

Upon walking into Fratellis you’re greeted to an upscale bar and restaurant. The garlic cheese bread is chef’s kiss!! The fettuccine Alfredo was good but a little underwhelming, not as much flavor as I’d like personally. My wife’s gnocchi was on par. Overall a great place with decent pricing!

4.7/5 Stars Let me start by saying I ordered large pepperoni pizza, 10 piece chicken wings, and bread sticks. Absolutely, all of it was outstanding! I can't say enough about the pizza! It was some of the best pizza I've had around here, that's for sure. The breadstciks had a different take on a traditional breadstick, but I loved it. I would highly recommend trying this place out! The only downside is that I thought it was a little pricey for the pizza. It's not outrageous, but on the higher end, for sure

Nice sized booth in the back. High tops and low tops and bar seating. Full bar, decent tap selection. Great mango Margarita. Food was fresh and flavorful - good portions for reasonable price. Server was amazing. Only down side is parking is a little challenging- some small lots or street parking.

Our family visited Fratelli’s and had a delicious experience. I appreciate how the appetizers aren't an afterthought, they were as delicious as a main dish would be. Highly recommend the Calambrian wings - one the most unique sauces we've tried! We also enjoyed the pizza, could really taste the freshness. The servers were attentive, helpful, and friendly.

Always an unorganized mess while picking up to-go orders, but really great food! We love their deep fried cauliflower- so good! The breadsticks are also really good- they did recently change them which was slightly disappointing, but they are still good. Pizza is usually always great, unless it got over cooked.. which happens every once in a great while. They hand pinch their sausage- which I honestly love. Their gnocchi is also spot on. I would however pass on the BLT sub- bacon is super fatty.. almost reminds you of salad bacon bits.

My husband and I went to Fratelli's because I'm always interested in a good Sunday brunch and Bloody Mary. However, when we got there, we noticed some of the other food guests were having and we decided to forgo the breakfast altogether. Sometimes he and I are more drawn to the appetizers, so we got a couple to share, thinking that we would order a meal if we wanted more. We never got that far. We started with drinks and got the meatballs and garlic balls. First, the meatballs were HUGE, just like the Italians like 'em. They were spicy, and the sauce was on the sweet side. Normally, I don't care for sweet sauce, but because the meat was spicy, the sauce was a perfect balance. There was mozzarella draped over the top, and to make sure you didn't miss a drop, you could wipe up every last drop with the crostini. The garlic balls were tiny nuggets of dough with melted garlic butter and Parmesan cheese that you could dip into marinara. This was my favorite item. I took those nuggets and swiped them in the bottom of the bowl to get the remaining garlic butter. YUM! Because these were appetizers, they were only $7! Did I forget to mention that the mimosas and the Bloodies were also only $5 each? I can't forget about the scenery and the service. The restaurant was a small space with a full bar, casual, and full of old world style. There were only a couple of people working, but they were capable and friendly, and the server made recommendations and put up with my talkative husband. I met the manager and all-in-all, I felt welcomed like I had been invited to dinner at a local family's house in small town Italy.

We went on trivia night (Wednesday 7pm & 8pm) and it was so fun! I got the salted caramel espresso martini and it was by far the best espresso martini in Grand Rapids!!!! Service was really great, friendly staff. And it was such a great space for trivia or nice meal out :)

Let's start with Sarah and Craig at the bar. Great team, complement each other very well. Great service. The restaurant is classic American -Italian in food and decor. Now for the food. Ok, it is an Italian joint and the meatballs were good, the spaghetti was outstanding (served with a spoon thank you very much), the wife had a chicken wrap she loved and reports the shrimp app was very good. As good as all that was, they made some kind of thin sliced potato side for the wife's wrap and holy hell are those things good. Seriously stopped this Irish boy in his tracks they were so good. Could not have had a better dinner!

Sarah was so kind and helpful. I ordered the Diablo pizza and it was super yummy, but be mindful it is super spicy, but if you love spice this will be your jam. My sister is in love with the portable lo mushroom ravioli. She said it had it is the best she has ever had. They have gluten free pizza and pasta and trivia!!

One of our favorite places to go. Their meatball sauce is amazing. Matty is the server you want. Place is weirdly empty all the time. Sad for them but means you don't have to wait for a table!

The last time I had Fratelli's was on a whim while waiting 3 hours for a table at Butcher's Union a year or two ago. My husband and I were starving and we ordered a carnivore pizza of some type and devoured the whole thing! I remember enjoying that more than our meal at Butcher's Union that night. Today, we thought we would give dine-in a try. On Sunday's happy hour lasts all day long, so I imbibed with a $5 sangria and the hubby got a $2 PBR. The kids enjoyed their pizza with an addition of fries for $8. They cleaned their plates (a rarity for them). I enjoyed the fresh cáprese salad with a twist. It had an addition of arugula, Kalmata olives and avocado to the classic tomato, mozzarella and basil. It also came with two toasted pieces of bread to stack the goodness on. Since I adore all those ingredients, I was happy as a clam. I also tried the fig pizza which was a fig spread, goat cheese, caramelized onion, pancetta, arugula, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. I liked the first bite, but it quickly became too sweet for my pallet. It needed something acidic and maybe a slight heat to cut the glucose heavy pie. The hubby had the Calabrian wings and said the sauce tasted like a mixture of pizza sauce with sweet chili and Parmesan powder cheese blended together and poured over the wings. He ate it all up, but said it didn't taste like the traditional recipe. They have a fairly diverse menu of apps, pizza, pasta, burgers and sandwiches. They even have a few desserts as well as a full bar. The wait staff was friendly and helpful and even expedited our order because a huge group of 30 or so people were about to order and they didn't want our kids to wait too long. Very thoughtful! Definitely check out Fratelli's if you're in the area. It's worth it as a destination or as a back up plan if your resy at Gin Gin's or Butcher's Union falls through.

Was refused service at 7pm on a Saturday because my child was "old enough to walk". Completely absurd for a bar AND kitchen.

Visited this place on a recommendation by Sicilian co-worker while visiting the area for work. Restaurant only had only one waitress working so service was slow but she was great. Ordered eggplant salad, diavolo pizza, and wings and it took a little while to come out. Wings were good, salad was fresh and tasted even better, the pizza tasted good but it was little too salty and the crusts were cold. Overall the waitress made the experience worth it and I would visit this place again to try different items on the menu if I'm ever in the area again.

So we stopped here cause it sounded good and omg the meatballs were awesome and you get 5 huge meatballs with lots of sauce. Then also had the lasagna and it wasn't small it was a really good size. Our bartender was really nice and made good drinks. We will definitely be back

My friends and I visited for lunch. When we arrived, we were the only ones there. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and meatballs. I thought the pizza was a bit too heavy on the sauce and not enough cheese. Towards the end of a slice, there wasn't enough cheese to sauce ratio. I enjoyed the meatballs - though I wish the bread provided was a bit softer to soak up the sauce.

Over the Memorial Day weekend I was in town visiting my cousin and her boyfriend. While he was at work that Friday, me and my cousin went into town for lunch. We initially had another place in mind but they did not open till 4:00. I was looking around to see where we can go and pointed to this place across the street and my cousin without hesitation said yes! She told me she never dined in the bar area but had their pizza as carryout from next door and had nothing but good things to say. We were the only 2 inside so they're must've just opened so we ordered a drink while going over the menu. We went with a "14 Hawaiian pizza with bacon and my cousin was right, it was a very good pizza. It was hand tossed crust that kind of gave you almost thin crust vibes. The sauce was good and didn't skimp on it, plenty of toppings and reheated well the next day in the air fryer. I told my cousin that we are coming back to this place when I come back in September!

I've only ever had takeout but their pizza is pretty good. They have a nice hand tossed crust that's crispy and doughy. The toppings were all really fresh and their red sauce wasn't too sweet. It's one of our regular pizza places. They deliver pretty quick as well and the pizza travels well.

Came in to try the pizza as a coworker said it was absolutely incredible, I ordered the pizza with vegan cheese on it, tomato sauce, basil and roasted garlic, the pizza was okay. My fiancé ordered the Margherita pizza which was good but nothing extraordinary. It's great that the pizzas are fresh but I came in with super high expectations of flavor wise. The pizzas were lacking a little bit of salt and depth of flavor honestly but all in all they were fresh and good. I will say the service was wonderful and the place was filled with people celebrating a birthday. It seems like a good spot to get together with friends as well

Stopped in for a few. The place looks brand new inside. The pregnant bartender was super nice and funny. We didn't order any food, but will come back again soon and try it out.

I want to give this place a higher rating. I think it has potential. The staff seem friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The arancini was kind of meh not a lot of flavor. The pizza crust was hard to bite through and again I just felt it wasn't special in the flavors. I suggest they pair the menu down to focus on making good pizza and offering a few sides. With everyone having to charge more for food, I feel we have to be pickier about where we will eat out and our $65 bill didn't really stand up to the quality we got.

Fratelli's offers decent 'za. They do. It's a typical floury crust that isn't too thin or too thick, a sauce that's only slightly sweet (less sweet than Vitale's)-- and a thick layer of mozz. I appreciate that the pizza is always consistent. If I want a standard, more traditional cheese pizza this hits the spot. They also sprinkle herbs over your pizza if it's just cheese. There are certainly better pizza places in Grand Rapids, depending on the style of pie you enjoy. Today my boyfriend attempted to purchase a gift card in store for a gift tomorrow and the employee did not know how to ring it up. He said that we would have to return once the manager is back. I am pretty understanding with these things since I'm sure they're short staffed due to the pandemic, but unfortunately they lost out on extra business due to our running short on time.

Easily the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. I was looking for a dessert on bridge street and came across this hole in the wall. When I walked in I was greeted with one other person in the whole restaurant and an overwhelming smell of rotten garbage as we sat at the bar. The manager and wait staff asked us what we would like to eat four times in our first five minutes, after stating that we just needed a couple of minutes to look over the menu. We moved away from the bar and over to a table because the smell of garbage was too strong. My boyfriend and I ordered arancini and tiramisu. I am not a picky eater in the slightest and I am typically such a fan, but the flavor of the arancini was horrible. I couldn't even eat more than one bite. The waitress notified us that the tiramisu was still being prepared which is a big red flag because this meant that it was frozen and was not yet de thawed. As it was delivered to our table, I was dying to get some food in my system, but the fork couldn't even penetrate the thick layer of ice still in the dessert Now remember how the wait staff wouldn't leave us alone when we first sat down? It took 20+ minutes for anyone to come over to our table and at this point we were the only ones in there. They ended up refunding the tiramisu but we still had to pay for the arancini despite taking a bite and leaving the rest on the table. I don't know if it was an off night but I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

First the good stuff. We went for trivia and the game was fun. Our waitress Aubrey was delightful and entertaining. We had the house specialty wings as a starter. No clue what the sauce was. One bite it was interesting, the next gross and if dipped in enough ranch good. We then had the recommended pizza. Not great. It tasted a lot like a frozen pizza. Overall, the only reason we may return is to spend our gift card from trivia (we won, no big deal). Ps. This place is ranch certified

Amazing pizza! The Diobalo and the POB were so good! Absolutely delicious. A great place we stumbled upon.

On a Monday night, when the place is empty, we had the worst service ever! Our waitress was more interested in hanging out behind the bar looking at her phone. We had to flag her down to get another drink. She did not bring anything to write down our order and we waited an hour for food because obviously she forgot to put it our order in. She brought us out some free, cold, stale bread because our food took so long. Mushroom ravioli was decent. Zero reason to return here. I know it's hard to find decent help, but the place was empty! No excuse!!

Easy review of this place. Food is decent. 7 out of 10 I would give. Service is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Very inconsistent. Ambiance is a 5 out of 10. It's a decent place overall.

The Calabrian cauliflower wings are amazing. That Calabrian sauce is simply delicious with just the right kick.

Enjoyed the Bridge St location, casual atmosphere, pleasant host/wait staff, cheesy breadsticks and trivia game. We had been disappointed that there is no patio dining as the website photo suggests and the sweet tomato sauce left me longing for a more savory experience but the menu offers extensive options and everyone in our foursome had positive things to say about their food.

The food was okay! I went to this restaurant because I saw on some Grand Rapids post that it had one of the best rated pizzas in Grand Rapids. We got the tomato pizza (can't fully remember the name!) and it wasn't something I'd order again. It wasn't terrible. We also got the focaccia with goat cheese dip and that was fantastic, I would definitely order that again. It was nice inside, not busy at all on the night we went. I recommend the restaurant, but if you're looking for a more authentic Italian experience, this wouldn't be a place I would choose.

I saw Fratelli's new location was open and my boyfriend and I stopped in to grab a drink and a snack one afternoon. The space is cozy with a large bar. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple beers, the Calabrian wings, and some frat fries. The bartender was friendly and kept our glasses filled throughout our visit. The food came out pretty quickly and I was impressed with the other dishes I saw. The pizza looks great and I definitely want to try that next time. The wings were crispy with the perfect amount of sweet and spicy sauce. We both loved them and would get them again. The frat fries were cool because they're flat spears, just a different cut than what you usually see. They were seasoned really well with some herbs and plenty of salt and pepper. I would get them again and would like to try some other things soon. A nice stop on Bridge Street that's different than the other places in the area.

This was a last minute choice that was definitely a good one. Walking by we noticed a debonair bar and it was empty since we had beaten the rush that followed us in within 15 minutes. We jumped a spot at the bar and off we went. Drinks ordered and a couple apps to prime the palate. The appetizer portions were formidable; we tried the Brussel's sprouts which were a little too sweet but there was a huge bowl of them. Definitely a good app for a group. All it needed was a little balsamic or some flake salt to round it out. The cook on them was great though. The bruschetta was deconstructed...a bowl of chunky tomatoes and lots of raw garlic with a vinegar marinade and grilled toast on the side. It was pretty good. I liked it (raw garlic is my jam), you might not. The pizza was wood fired I'd guess. We ordered something vegetarian pretty similar to a Margherita pie. I liked this place! They had pretty good service, although I feel like they didn't anticipate patrons the evening we came in. Either way, I'd come back...and, they made a pretty decent Manhattan so there's that.

Another solid addition to the growing West Side. It was refreshing to walk in and have a table right away, rather than the usual wait times on this street. We started with the Calabrian Wings, which were very tasty and had the perfect amount of kick. My wife enjoyed them so much that she ordered the Calabrian Sandwich and loved that as well. Our friends shared the 14" POB pizza and thought it was very good. I had the 10" Amico Pizza and enjoyed it. My pizza was a little heavy on the toppings but it was still tasty. I would probably try something else my next visit. The atmosphere is casual with large TVs but the dishes are definitely above average. The presentation of the wings and sandwich are higher end than a typical pizza joint. The pizza is still coming from their kitchen next door but the quality is still there. The Nutella Pizza was fantastic and definitely a hit with all of us. The size was perfect and each person could enjoy 2 slices. We will definitely be back!

One of the best restaurants on the GR/West side part of town! If you ever in the area you have to check it out. The atmosphere is amazing, servers are awesome, and the food will make your taste buds go crazy . If you ever go on a Monday night make sure you ask for Jessica she's funny, attentive, and such a down to earth server. This place is also great for groups. Recommendations for food are the Calabrian Wings especially for groups. The Gnocchi The Margarita pizza. Meat lovers pizza

So to start I ordered through Slice and I won't make that mistake again. The order was originally scheduled to be delivered 50 minutes after I ordered. I didn't get an update that it was going to be another 20 minutes until after that time had come up. Pizza and wings arrived barely warm. A pizza delivery service and the driver didn't have the box in a warm bag. Toaster oven to the rescue. I really wish we would have had this pizza hot. Reheating didn't do the crust any favors. I would definitely try them again either at the shop or pickup.

I feel like a jerk for writing a not-awesome review of Fratelli's Kitchen & Bar. But Yelp is all about honest reviews, right? I also use Yelp's suggested description for each star as my ultimate guidepost when assigning a rating. Fratelli's Kitchen is somewhere between "Meh" and "A-OK" for me, so I went with two stars. The food tastes fine, but is not particularly original or outstanding. That's tough on a street crowded with lots of other options. Fratelli's Kitchen also comes in at a price point that seems high for what it delivers. I don't think you'll have a bad meal here. That said, I've never had anything especially memorable. We really like Fratelli's Pizza and are big, longtime fans of the takeout location next door. I believe the pizza here comes out of the same oven, is cooked by the same people, and inexplicably costs more. If you're seriously in the mood for a sit down pizzeria experience, then go for it. For me, pizza tends to be one of my favorite forms of takeaway food--whether I'm headed to picnic in the park or my own kitchen table. In addition to their pizza, I've had the Calabrian Wings, which are tasty and not your traditional buffalo wings. A friend reports that the sausage burger is very good, but I haven't tried it. They have Sporcle trivia on Wednesday nights, during which my group often takes advantage of their half off bottles of wine special. Unfortunately, the list is pretty unremarkable. It would be fun if Fratelli's took advantage of its Italian theme and curated a great, small list focused on interesting, value Italian wines. Maybe Fratelli's Kitchen is just experiencing some growing pains associated with the new format. But I'd like to see more value focused options, or else more creative high-end options (that differentiate from the takeout location next door) to justify the prices.

What a nice surprise. First off, where is everyone? Because they aren't here, and they should be. We went in on a Friday night and there were 4 people there when we arrived. What?! We sat at the bar for ease of service and we had an excellent female bartender. She was attentive to us, explained the menu to us, made sure our drinks were always full, etc. I went into this restaurant (1) with the expectations that I have from eating at their pizza place and (2) with the word-of-mouth recommendations on their "Calabrian" items. I couldn't resist the urge to try something of that variety. I talked my friend into splitting the Calabrian sandwich with me, along with splitting the Calabrian wings. I am so glad we went that route. The fried chicken sandwich was dipped in the Calabrian sauce, topped with pickled onions, and set on a fluffy bun. It was served with frat fries, which were sliced very thin (similar to potato chips), just thick enough to call fries, and deliciously crispy. We also ordered the Calabrian wings, which were bone-in (not usually my thing) and absolutely AMAZING. Thinking hard about it, these are probably the best wings I've ever had. The sauce was flippin delicious, the wings themselves were cooked well and tasted great. I would go back here just to get the wings again and again. I cannot wait to try something else on the menu though. They had a good selection of craft draft. Also, you still have full access to the pizza next door - the entire back of the menu is PIZZA!

Wow! Just great! Loved the mozzarella sticks, wings, and pasta. Now a free dessert. lemon cake and it is wonderful and light. The owner is so sweet. I wish I lived close by, I would be here all the time. Don't get me started on the martinis. Yum.

My husband and I came here for the first time last night - we asked to see a menu first because I'd heard there was a limited menu. We noticed that there was a large pizza selection on the back page, a few entrees, pastas, sandwiches, etc. There were a few appetizers to choose from as well so we decided to check them out. The space is a bit small but it wasn't too busy so it worked out just fine. The only awkward thing about the space is the fact that there is only one bathroom - so one bathroom with a lock that men and women alike have to wait to use. I get that the space is small but man...it's super awkward to wait outside a one-door/one-stall bathroom or slowly try the handle to see if it's locked - it's in the center of the restaurant across from the bar. Other than the restroom debacle, the time to get our drinks was the only other thing that caught my attention in the wrong way. Our service was great, the food was good and it came out at a good pace. We started with the wings (and they were AWESOME) - just the right size and the sauce had a hint of Parmesan. For entrees we ordered the POB pizza (curved pepperoni, caramelized onions, basil, mozzarella) and the half chicken (came with Brussels and roasted potatoes). I enjoyed the pizza and had leftovers - ended up giving them to a guy outside asking for money but he HAPPILY took the pizza and said "pizza pizza pizza I'll eat this!" I'll definitely be back and I'll probably try one of the pizzas with arugula that I saw - I love arugula on pizza! I got one of the drinks off the cocktail menu and it was good; can't recall the name but it was the first one on the menu. They were limited on the cocktails but had a large wine and beer selection.

Possibly the best wing in town. Crispy on the outside. Not thick with extra batter or anything. Just perfect. Juicy on the inside. And that calypso sauce? Fire. Fuckin fire. -Two stars for the wait staff. Although your last seating was at 9, we arrived 10 min before, my group of friends was already there and had ordered for us. I get to the door and the waitstaff looks at me like there's no one else here, your friends aren't here. Didn't want to pull the race card or anything but I was like, you don't see another group of Asians in here? They were like nope. Called my friends. They were in the back. Like 6 deep already getting drinks and food on. Cmon guys. I did tip the girl $100 but still.....

What a terrible experience, waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for apps. The waitress was so busy that they had the hostess bring our drinks to us. She ended up spilling the entire tray of drinks on our friend. The manager was awful! He was snarky and very unprofessional. They comped nothing. When we were leaving he said come and see us again (from the bar area) I kindly said I think it will be a while after this experience and he shouted, well then don't forget to take a shower when you get home! How awful! Mediocre food with terrible service. I can spend my money at much better places! I can't believe the owners allow this type of management.

Came here after visiting someone in the hospital a mile down the road. Thurs night the happy hour was extended to 8pm - yah. Ordered the Calabrian wings which the highlight of the evening with an intoxicatingly sweet and spicy sauce which were a match made in heaven for wings. Brussels sprouts were well prepared and caramelized to give it a crisp char with bacon and a glaze. The Sausage burger was very good if you are a sausage fan and ask for a side of the Calabrian sauce to put this over the edge. The grilled romaine in the Ceasar salad made it a bit tough to eat for my dining companions but I doubt it would have stopped me from enjoying it. The only disappointment this evening was the almond Tiramisu, which substituted the expresso with an almond extract infused simple syrup but had the overwhelming taste of the artificial almond extract. Service was friendly and efficient.

Jerry and Kim gave us such wonderful service. I assumed they were the owners based on the way they treated us. The wings were messy which is a sign of good wings and the pizza was flush with toppings.
