   Came in for a date night dinner with my wife. I had the mushroom and bacon fettuccine which was spectacular! My wife had the crunch chicken salad and she loved it. We both really loved the white chicken chili. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing location, great service and underwhelming food. I always expect more and I'm always disappointed here. My truffle shrimp pasta LOOKED fantastic but had no salt and I tasted truffle in maybe 2 bites. So disappointing.

    We like to save Fratello's for special occasions. We always try something outside of our usual restaurant selections and are never disappointed! The spiced wine pear in the salmon salad was deliciously unexpected as was the sweet chili compound butter for the warm bread!

    Fabulous views! Windows all around overlooking the river & dam. Lots of wildlife to watch and moving water. The food was excellent and both the waitstaff and manager stopped by to check in us. We were on the upper level, which was nice and gave us an excellent view even though we were not right next to a window. The waitress we had gave us some good recommendations and was very attentive. Everything was picture perfect! I highly recommend Fratellos if you are willing to pay a bit more for a better location and food. Our lunch for 2 was $68. For me, well worth it for a special occasion but not on a regular basis.

    The restaurant was clean and classy. It was a little loud but not unbearable. It was hard to carry a conversation over the loudness but overall was a very nice experience. Staff is friendly.

    Nice view of the water from the restaurant. Service is casual but everyone was friendly, although a little distracted. It got pretty busy and the noise level was high. We had a nice glass of Prosecco and ordered some cheese curds, which were mediocre with very runny ranch sauce. For main course I ordered the salmon salad, the salmon itself was very tasty but it came with slices of spiced pear, candied walnuts and a dollop of ricotta cheese. Unfortunately these flavors really didn’t go together and the vinaigrette dressing had little flavor, I ate about half and left it. My dining companion ordered the steak & scallops which were tasty but came with an enormous mound of mashed potato a small amount of asparagus and for some reason was served in a bowl! It wasn’t the most attractive looking plate. We also had a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc and we shared two ice creams for dessert which were served in champagne flutes which was cute and tasty.

    The wine pours are very skimpy. Glasses are small, and they do not put much in. Very annoying. I got the chicken salad......good, but mostly lettuce. Definitely not enough chicken. My husband's fish had several large bones in it. Always scary. Good, attentive waiter tho.

    My girlfriend and I both ordered the Salmon, it was not good. I’d expect a meal like that from a diner. The salmon was over cooked, tiny, and the risotto it was sitting on tasted worse than the boxed risotto you get at grocery stores . For $28 a dish, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. When you spend over $100 on dinner for 2 you expect halfway decent food. Unfortunately Fratellos did not deliever.

    Combination Father’s Day celebration and wedding anniversary. Food was very good. Service was a bit above average. Paying as much as we were, we really shouldn’t be waiting long for simple things like drink refills. We were somewhat disappointed that we had called in advance to inquire about a Father’s Day brunch. They said they’d be open for brunch. Normally brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch. While our meal was good, it wasn’t a brunch.

    Very nice meal. Fine service. Generally reasonable prices. Food quality was very good. Two in our party of six had the charred octopus entree - taste was fine but portion was appetizer-sized. Ambience is great with the spectacular view of the raging Fox River. One of our favorite restaurants in Appleton.

    Food was good. Not a great selection and a bit pricey for the portion. Drinks same. A bit pricey and charged more than menu stated. Great location. Friendly service. Loved the atmosphere. Perfect for date night or for a special occasion with or without kids.

    Been here many times for the atmosphere. ALWAYS booked with the OPENTABLE app. Checked in with host and asked to wait at bar as they were very busy and behind schedule. Three different bartenders came by over a half hour period to update us on our table. We then walked to ask host seating status and told they texted and no response and our table was cancelled. Anyway they made it “right” with us and hopefully this provided Fratellos with a learning moment. As I work in business and depend on human interaction for my success I know that the customer is always right. Fratellos management clearly made missteps however recovered and all were happy once a table was provided to us. Just remember, checking in with the host does nothing if you are asked to wait. Make sure to clarify the number that they text to alert you to the seating availability. Good experience regardless of the complications.

    The hostesses were not friendly. Our table was not ready for our 6pm reservation. They told us to wait in the bar. Did NOT offer a complementary drink while we waited. After waiting 13 mins, checked back in at at desk and our table was ready. Realized later I was sent a text when the table was ready but the hostess never told me to watch for a text. I was excited to see their cocktail menu. Ordered the spicy watermelon margarita and my companion ordered the blueberry basil margarita. Both were watered down so had no flavor. Very disappointing. I ordered the shrimp pasta dish which was lacking flavor. No salt and pepper shakers on the table. My companion ordered the butternut squash ravioli. It was good. Our server was very nice.

    We have been eating at fratellos since it opened many years ago. It has had its ups and downs over the years as far as menu, service and other changes. That said, my husband and I had the best meal we have ever had at this restaurant. They changed the chairs and tables, so much more comfortable, added carpet in different areas and that seems to help absorb the noise. The waitress was outstanding. I think her new was Alicia, she knew her menu and was personable and efficient. I had the scallops over pesto risotto. The scallops were done perfectly. My husband had the perch fish fry special and the perch was perfectly cooked light and flaky. The slaw was awesome, light and not laden down with mayo. The fries were soo good! Everything from the new chairs to the noise level, staffing and most importantly the food...I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!!.
