    Half our party were first timers & other had only done take out previously. So glad we came for New Years Eve dinner. All the dishes we tried ( pizza, penne kalamata, pesto tortellini, chicken Alfredo, summer salad, baked ziti, bruschetta-garlic bread with delectable sauce & balsamic gaze) were Italian comfort food to the max! Our group was so pleasantly surprised by the Fallbrook Fratellis label red that we bought 2 half-off bottles to take home. New Years Eve at a good local restaurant would be expected to be crowded and they were down a no show server We had pleasant service but the lobby was packed when we’re we’re leaving about 6:30. We will definitely return!

    I had requested a piece of cake and candle stating it was my husbands Birthday when I made the reservation and No one acknowledged there was we even a birthday. We had gone in and there were 6 booths , 5 which were occupied The 6th one was empty and owner was hesitant to put us there just in case a larger group came in Im guessing . . I would understand if it was packed but there was only 5 Booths and all the tables were empty. We would have felt odd . We hadn’t even taken off our coats and the owner asked us if were wanted anything to drink. I m not a fan of being rushed. If I remember correctly I am the one that extended my politeness first by adding him his his Holiday was. He frowned saying that he didn’t have any help and he had to work . He didn’t know we’re in the same boat but didn’t let him know that the second we started talking. We made reservations 6 months ago and the he basically said the same thing . I felt bad then . I didn’t this time. He needs to lighten his mood for his customers and make them feel like they belong . Six months ago he only had one type of beer 6 months later , still does. The food was sub par. I myself had the chicken piccata which was drenched in oil. Husband had chicken Parmesan . This time it was processed last it was fresh. We’re in the food business and this is unacceptable. I ended up leaving a pity tip. That will only go soo far with people. We know Good Italian food and the food the ambiance and the service were all just BLAH ! Christine Carlo

    This place is our go-to for Home style italian. We accept the $15 corkage fee and bring our own bottle of wine. The Oceanside summer sald is very flavorful and the pesto dipping sauce and bread are excellent starters. My wife always gets the eggplant parma and I have to get the lasagna. This place never disapoints!

    We love the food every time we go to Fratelli’s. They had some trouble finding our reservation but finally put us in a nice booth. Our waiter was very thoughtful but oh so busy and it took 20 minutes or more to order our food. He wasn’t rushing us but we only had an hour for dinner.

    We’ve bee there quite a few times and the food was always great, and always a special occasion. We went this time for our anniversary and we were both very disappointed, they had a special on the Chicken Piccata and I chose it because the last time i was there it was fantastic. Not so this time, it seemed slimy and had no seasoning. With red pepper, salt, pepper, and Parmesan I was able to eat it. My wife got the Basil Tortellini which was bland to her also. We drive for 1 1/2 hours to go there which never bothered us before because it was always good food and a nice getaway. Sad to say we most likely will not go again in the near future.

    Made a reservation through open table but didn’t need it as there were lots of openings. It was 1/2 price wine bottles so that was a nice surprise. We had a great antipasto salad (small) and more then served 2. My hubby had the chicken parm and pasta and was very good. I had the meatballs and they were too hard but their sauce is excellent.

    This is our go-to place. The team there — and I specifically use the word "team" — is fantastic, and the food is even better. The menu has been pared down a bit to simplify (and perhaps survive COVID), but there are still plenty of outstanding offerings. Every time we eat at Fratelli's it feels like coming home. They treat us like family, and I can tell from observing other tables around the dining room, it's not just us. We've been going there since before they opened (when it was a different Italian restaurant under a different name and ownership). And we'll never stop going back. You guys are amazing, your food is wonderful, and we'll see you soon— and repeatedly! Thanks for "just another" wonderful experience.

    Limited menu, very few options to choose from. Only options were red sauce. Food was very bland. No chicken Marsala or lemon piccata, which is what I wanted based on reading the reviews. Service was great.
