    For appetizers, the Clams Oreganata are one of the best; the stuffed mushrooms were flavorful and the cheesy garlic bread was warm, garlicky and topped with melted mozzarella. The entrees were all delicious - probably one of the best meals - from traditional lasagna to rigatoni bolognese to eggplant parm. Chicken and fish dishes also spot on. Service was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was a full house with entertainment but it only added to the delightful meal we enjoyed.

    We had dinner @ Fratello's on 8/19 - we sat down about 5:45 at a booth in the bar area. Our waitress, Kathleen, was excellent - professional, accommodating, and friendly. She made you feel important to her. We had 2 appetizers, and drinks - daiquiri's - not frozen, not strawberry - just plain daiquiri's - she explained what we wanted to the bartenders and our drinks were very good. 2 veal meals were very good. It is a local restaurant, friendly people, nice crowd.

    House salad was very overdressed and balsamic vinegar was so overpowering and soupy it made the Chicken Scarpariello inedible. There was so much dark vinegar I could not see the chicken or sausage I frequent Fratellos & have never had a bad dinner before so I will return but will remember to give waitresses instruction on my meal preparation from now on.
