Fratello's Italian Tavern - Park Circle

Great meal, great service.

Anniversary

Always great food! They always have good specials but we love the veal, chicken or eggplant parmesan!

New Year’s Eve dinner. Fabulous food!

Don't want this gem being too well known because we live nearby & love going here without having to make reservation!
Compliments to the Entire Team - Chef, Service, Bar, & Management - EXCELLENT!

The food was fresh and delicious. The wit staff was friendly. The owner stopped by the table and explained some of the dishes.

First time eating here - everything was delicious. Warm bread, amazing Caesar salad, delicious entrees & scrumptious chocolate cake for dessert!!! Highly recommend! Will definitely go back again! Oh, waiter was very friendly & informative.

Staff was very accommodating. Food was great.

Looks like the 1970s inside. Dark and dreary.
My gimlet tasted like they used powdered lime instead of fresh. Food was mediocre at best - salad a little limp, soup (tomato pesto bisque) lumpy and cold, and the odor of the cleaning agent they use permeated the air so much that is all I could taste when I was eating my entree - manicotti.
We went early and were pretty much the only ones in the restaurant. That might be why. I hate to bash a restaurant in these times, but really there were no redeeming qualities.
And no, I did not inform the wait person - who was extremely polite - because there wouldn’t have been anything she could’ve done to make the experience better unfortunately.

Food was excellent, server was great, enjoyed the whole experience.

Excellent service, food and prices. I will definitely be back.

Large portions and friendly service. Chicken parm was delicious!

Preston was phenomenal! Food, service, drinks were great.

I am a “picky” eater, the waiter said no problem at all, we will make whatever you want however you want it! And it was delicious!!

My wife & I had a 4:00pm Friday reservation. We were the only inside diners at this early time. On the way out there was another couple dining outside.
We’ve eaten here before so we expected that the food would be good...& we weren’t disappointed. My wife had the chicken Parmesan & I had the chicken Marsala. Both dishes were very good. Probably one of the best chicken Marsalas I’ve ever had. As you might guess with only a few customers, the service was very good. But on other occasions when it was much busier, the service was still very good. We will certainly return.

Everything was delicious, very reasonable prices, friendly staff. Celebrating a birthday tonight. We will be back soon!!

Food is consistently amazing! Great for date night.

Best kept secret in Charleston! I have been in search of true, delicious Italian food in the Charleston area and finally hit the jackpot. This was our second time at the restaurant and we couldn't be more pleased. The portions are generous and the flavors are authentic to Italian cuisine. Jules was our server and did an incredible job juggling a very busy Saturday night with just 2 servers on site. It is a loud restaurant but an old building with poor acoustics. This definitely doesn't deter us from dining in. This was also our first meal out since the wake of Covid and we felt very safe in this environment.

Great dinner,

Excellent service with phenomenal tasting food. A must for anyone that enjoys a great evening out.

The food was excellent!’ I would definitely return again

Hidden gem! Food was great, must try the lemoncello creme brûlée!!

This was the first time we’ve dined inside a restaurant since the pandemic. It was a great experience. We felt safe, comfortable and the service and food were fantastic.

i definitely recommend and would return. My father enjoyed the veal marsala immensely. My salmon dish needed to be heated more but it was delicious. The tiramisu dessert was top notch. The wait staff was very amenable and friendly.

Overall the restaurant was excellent, the food, service, and atmosphere is fantastic. My only issue was actually with open table because they said my reservation was confirmed but the restaurant did not show my reservation, however, they quickly corrected the issue and got my family seated immediately! I’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic food and fantastic service!

Flies buzzing around. Our chicken was burnt. Couple kept staring at me the entire time I was trying to enjoy my “meal”

Was expecting a quiet semi-romantic meal, but sat right beside a pile of chairs, tons of gnats everywhere, and host was right behind us and constantly blabbering. Food was fine. I know COVID is going on, but restaurant could put forth more effort for SOME ambiance.

Spot on Old School Italian.

This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! The service was fantastic and the food was much better than expected. The portions were great and well worth the price.

The food was fantastic. Best lasagna I've had in years. Ambience was nice. Odd times during the Covid crisis.

Very enjoyable. Handled the covid r requirements nicely.

Just arrived into CHS - OpenTable was our best resource. Reservation was made and the meal was great as was the service!

Very nice meal. Especially nice to be able to dine in during this Covid era. They did a nice job of showing they were taking required steps without making us feel "contaminated" as is the case with other places we recently dined.

We use to eat here regularly before the pandemic so this was our first time since they were able to return to indoor seating. We love this place and will return again. However, this time the mussels were different. Can’t put my finger on it—-maybe light on garlic. Lasagna was it usual FANTASTIC!

The food and service were both equally phenomenal. Our sever Richard made sure we had a great experience for my girlfriend’s birthday and the the chef was very friendly as well.

I usually get the Clams with Linguine. I let the server know that the pasta was overcooked and the dish was watered down. The flavor was not like it had been the other times I order the dish.

The food was great and service was no exception. This is the place for great Italian food.

Father’s Day Outing

This restaurant is located in a quaint shopping area with interesting stores & lots of free parking.
We have dined there a few times. Food & service have always been very good. This is a very popular place so reservations are recommended.

Jules was a helpful attentive server, the food good, we were very pleased.
