Myself, boyfriend and my friend who was visiting decided to come here on a Saturday evening. I…read morebooked a table as I have heard its quite a busy restaurant. We were seated straight away and offered the menu and drinks list. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the service. I found the staff to be quite moody, unfriendly and not very attentive, there seemed to be a group of adults with their children for a birthday who they seemed to be focusing more on than the other customers. Being italian myself I always find italian restaurants have the most friendly staff who always try their hardest to ensure your dining experience is the best it can be...this place had the opposite effect on me. This is a shame as the food is really good and I really enjoyed our meal and variety of cocktails. Some of the younger staff members need to put a smile on their face and be more attentive. Our starters came and we had no knifes, it took too long to get a staff members attention that we gave up and just ended up cutting our starters with the fork. My boyfriend ordered another beer and it was just slammed on the table and the waiter walked off without asking if the rest of us were happy or needed anymore drinks, we then had to try and get another waiters attention again to order more drinks. Its such a shame as I would be happy to go again for the food as it was very tasty, was at good prices and the fact the restaurant itself is really lovely. Its a shame some of the staff aren't as pleasant as the food, not even a thanks for coming when we left.

We had garlic bread with mozzarella, and it was delicious. It had simple ingredients, but tasted very fresh; from the bread to the olive oil and garlic.

It's also amazing!

I'm happy I get to add this place to Yelp because I had such a great experience here last night. I…read morejust moved to London this week and my husband told me this area of Croydon was loaded with restaurants. So I took myself to dinner here and was greeted by a darling elderly gentleman who I presume was the owner. He, and much of the staff, have fairly thick Italian accents so right away, I knew I was in good hands. The staff work collaboratively here so while you may order with one person, another refills your wine glass and and another checks on you to make sure you're happy. Service is amazing here. And everyone is genuinely warm and welcoming. I started off with a 150ml glass of Sangiovese. House wine is ridiculously cheap here - very much like it is in Italy. Nowhere in London have ever been able to get a glass of wine for under £5. For my starter, I had the spinach and ricotta stuffed mushrooms which came on a toasted wedge of sourdough bread. Soo good! I also had the lasagna which I couldn't even finish. It was cheesy and gooey and delicious. 5 stars for service 5 stars for prices 3.5 stars for food It was all delicious except for a teensy bit of cheese overload. I could tell that the food was amazing beneath all these cheese anyhow, so they really don't need it! Grazie, Tre Fratelli, for being my dates on a Friday night.

Came here for lunch yesterday. Admittedly we were 15 mins late for our reservation, but as soon as…read morewe walked in we were told abruptly that the kitchen closed at 2pm. I would have turned around and left immediately had one of our party not be very keen to eat here. The experience did not improve much after that. The bread was sliced so thinly you barely got a mouthful and the olives tasted curiously medicinal. I had a very mediocre and lukewarm veal dish with salad overpowered by balsamic vinegar. The French fries were fresh. The children enjoyed their fried chicken and chips. The three wait staff were very inattentive and we almost had to shout to get one them to come to the table. We must have been grumbling because one of them eventually hovered over the table and then committed the cardinal sin of trying to join in on our private conversation! I wish we'd gone to the Pizza Express up the road!

I ordered a fish starter and a sirloin steak for my main course. The fish was tender and well seasoned. The steak was perfect.
