    Fraschetta never disappoints. The authentic Roman trattoria fare is consistently fresh, beautifully seasoned and tasty. So glad that this local favorite is still going strong after 10 years.

    Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The server was attentive but not intrusive. The only drawback was that we could barely hear each other speak.

    Fraschetta was crowded and energetic on a Saturday evening. Service was good, two out of three menu choices excellent. (Octopus salad was mediocre.) But you can’t beat this Bryn Mawr staple for excellent food service and value.

    The food was great but we were seated upstairs (first and last time that this will happen!) where there is little to no ambiance. Paid for dinner using the QR code on the bill and later found out that my credit card information had been scammed by a web provider called "Fraavy" BEWARE!!!

    Did not care for our meals that much. Crab & corn fritter was crispy. Found some shells. Polpette was ok. Pork tenderloin was dry. Ossobuca was a tad sweet. Air-conditioning was blowing on us despite 3 requests to turn up.

    Havent been for a couple of years. Somewhat disappointed. Had the osso bucco which I used to enjoy; it wasn't bad, but seemed a little tired and over cooked. Also, it was smaller than what I remember. Still, the meal was good overall and I would go back again.

    Wonderful experience, food was fresh and tasted fantastic. Wife had the Pappardelle ai Funghi and i enjoyed the Cotoletta di Pollo. Followed by a dessert of Panna Cotta. Restaurant was small but only added to the ambiance. Will return.

    The pasta was al dente and fresh, the wild boar ragout was so good, and ravioli cacio e pepe was perfect. The osso bucco was not authentic but delicious nonetheless made with lamb shank. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Keeping in mind it was Saturday night, we were delighted for the restaurant that it was packed and not so delighted for us because we really could not hear each other…there were 4 of us. The service was great, the food not so much. One person got the steak which he said was tough, even difficult to slice; the fish special was ok and the pork tenderloin was great. We think it was an off night, hopefully just for our table. We’ve eaten here once before and enjoyed it🤷‍♀️

    Fraschetta continues to never disappoint. The food is authentically Italian - the owner is from Rome and the menu skews Roman. Pasta is homemade and excellent, meat and fish dishes are ample and delicious. Service is friendly and efficient without being overly informal or formal or intrusive. Great energy in the room - this is a trattoria so expect to hear people talking and enjoying themselves. This is hands down the best Italian restaurant on the Main Line, in fact there aren't any others that are even close.
