Late on this review.I dined here in early May/June Can't remember the date. I do remember the food though and the service . The service was a well oiled machine. Everyone knows there roll. Mariano our waiter was so skilled.You can tell he has years of the restaurant /food business.He communicated so well and was able to answer any questions about the menu. I dined with a party of 10 or 11 people.No mistakes throughout the whole night. I will start with the appetizers . We had Mussels ,Calamari,Eggplant rollatini,and other stuff .The Mussels were so good I would give them a 10 ,I have wanted to return for the Mussels since. Calamari great . Rollatini great..For my entree I ordered a special of Osso-Buco,perfect fall off the bone tender. They have a great menu,alot of options it was so hard to pick. The worst part about the restaurant is parking it can be difficult. This placed surprised me ,i did not expect the food to be so good. read more

It was my birthday dinner and the place was about busy, but the food didn't take too long to arrive. The bread was fresh and we were offered a choice of soup or salad with our entree. The spaghetti carbonara was delicious ,except it was a large portion. My dessert the tarfuto was delicious and delicious with a candle on top. Everyone enjoyed their meal here and there is music playing in the background. read more

Due Fratelli was a great meal and parking was a bit difficult to find as it's limited street parking or paid parking down by the train station. Upon walking in we noticed the restaurant had a very musty smell from all the rain the past few days. We came during their 3-6pm which is their early bird special pricing which you can't beat. We made a reservation for a Friday but it was pretty empty. They are byob and there is sooo much food you don't need wine. We started off with clams oreganta, fried calamari, eggplant rollatini and the mozzarella curoza. All of the appetizers are reduced portions so one person can easily finish each one. Next you choose from either soup or salad. I ordered the lobster and shrimp bisque. Definitely was morning special and there was no chunks of lobster of shrimp found in any of the bisques. The salad was delicious and a good portion as I ended up eating most of my boyfriend's plate. Entrees we all ordered a variety of things. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana which was served with spaghetti and I was able to easily eat the entire dish. The chicken Brianna was absolutely delicious as my boyfriend ordered it without mushrooms and the lemon wine sauce was divine on the chicken cutlet. The rest of our party ordered the braised beef special, chicken de la casa, chicken Brianna with mushrooms, and chicken Florentino. Everyone loved the food and portion sizes. You even get a dessert included in the early bird special and they have a huge selection of desserts to choose from. The cheesecake was good although the crust was a big soggy. The chocolate temptation cake was great but could do without the chocolate syrup drizzle. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area as it was a great portion and value for the price. read more

My first time here in May 2026. It was our 44th anniversary. Amazing food and exceptional service. Reasonable price too. Highly recommend.

If you want a quaint amazing Italian restaurant for early bird dining then Due Fratelli in Hawthorne is the place to go to. The price can't be beat for what you get!! We came here for "early dining" on Wednesday at 4. We were the first guests to arrive for dinner. Had a great table for four in the corner. Jasmine our waitress was phenomenal telling us everything we needed to know besides the normal everyday "early bird" specials there were plenty more "specials" that were offered to us. We all started with an appetizer, I had the calamari, my stepmother had the mussels in garlic butter bsauce& my father had the mozzarella curoza. Everything was excellent. Not huge portions but nice size for one person. My father & I had the salad which was very nice and crisp while my stepmother had the leek soup which she said was delicious. At this point people started to trickle in a little at first but by the time we got our entrees the place was packed!! They had a strolling guitar player playing lovely music for the crowd. I had the Veal Milanese nice and tender with a touch of drizzled balsamic. My step mother had the Brazino in a butter garlic sauce over black squid ink spaghetti. My dad had the Bucatini with scallops & shrimp. Again everything was delicious and melted in our mouths. For dessert I had the Cannoli and my parents had the coconut dream cake ~ light and spongy drizzled with caramel sauce with whip cream. By the time we left there were no seats left and everyone was talking and enjoying their meals. It was pretty loud and very busy when we left which I love, it's always great to see a neighborhood place receive the attention it deserves. We plan on coming back again if not for the early bird special then for lunch or dinner very soon. read more

Service was great but food was sub par. Lobster bisque was watery and salty. Ordered mahi mahi over risotto with champagne sauce. Dish was dry and overcooked. Probably frozen. Risotto was a glob of sticky rice and sauce was minimal. Probably should have stuck to a pasta dish and leave ordering dish to a seafood restaurant. read more

Service very nice help!! Appetizer good but food I was so disappointed with as I got a gift card for my husband birthday . I heard good stuff about this restaurant but we wouldn't go Back read more

A nice American Italian restaurant. The day I went there was a christening and our group was seated in the same room. It was very loud. Aside from that the food was tasty, sizeable portions and the servers were polite but a bit understaffed given the party at the same time. The restaurant is large, a bit dated but overall a good value. Bring your own wine. read more

Amazing food and service. Nice room with great Waite staff. Great selection on their menu. Prices were reasonable and portions were good.

Always consistent with the service and quality of the food. We have gone before that reservations and they go above and beyond to try to find you a table. read more

The service is top notch, everyone is very friendly. The food is delicious great Italian food. The early bird specials are so affordable and you actually are full after eating. read more

I held a 95th birthday party for my inspirational water fitness teacher the other day with 25 people attending. Everyone raved about the food -- the taste, the quality and quantity, and the variety. The service was perfect. The owner and his daughters worked really hard to make this party special. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Perfect from friendly greeting from servers through great service and excellent food. The early-bird special for $26.95 typically would cost more elsewhere considering quality and generous portions. Mussels and flounder excellent.As was the Lemoncello cake for desert. We will frequent this restaurant. read more

Excellent food and service. I love the early bird specials - large choice and great value. The guitarist on Wednesday and Saturday nights provides soothing background music enabling one to carry on a conversation. I have returned to this fine established a few times since being introduced to it by a friend who lives near it. I will continue to dine here. The only negative is that the parking can be a bit challenging. read more

Our dinner was delicious and the service outstanding. The avenue was busy with Trick or Treating and happy passersbys . A beautiful evening dining experience ending w Lemoncello read more

I want to thank the staff and chef for accepting our request for a repast lunch on very short notice. Further, we incorrectly estimated the time for funeral/burial and showed up almost an hour early! The restaurant couldn't have been more accommodating in allowing our guests in early . The food was good and the staff was pleasant and attentive. Finally, pricing was very fair! read more

Don't judge the green awning or lack of appearance from the outside. The food here is outstanding. The spicy clams are old Italy flavors with thin slices of garlic. Just amazing. Each meal comes with a salad so it's a nice touch. The antipasto salad could use a little love but overall a great meal. Make reservations. Bring a bottle of wine or 2 and enjoy!! read more

The food was very good. Had the mussels fra diablo as an appetizer and the rack of pork. Both were very tasty.

We were here for a fundraiser. Everything they served was delicious. Service was friendly. We will be back.

Had a surprise birthday party here for my sister in law. The staff, including Brianna and Jasmine were fantastic. They were so accommodating with our requests and the service and food were on point! We were able to arrive early to decorate our party area that already looked very nice without our decorations. We picked off their standard party menu but they had no problem tweaking it to our requests. Last minute requests for pasta and butter for kids was no problem. We have already placed a deposit for my daughter's bridal shower for next year. Also..BYOB!!! read more

Absolutely a place to come back, cozy ambiance with delicious food and good prices. Without a doubt I'm coming back. read more

Just another non Italian cook trying to pass as a real Italian restaurant. Well I say pass on this place. First time there on Thursday night, will be the last time too. Ordered the stuffed mushrooms, stuffed with seafood. I cut a piece of mushroom and when I brought it to my mouth, I had to put it right back into the plate. The smell of rotten fish made me sick. I sent them back and ordered the Mozz. carozza, this carozza was all bread no cheese. And the final straw was the Flounder, the smell of bad fish was overwhelming, sent that back too. How the chef let this leave the kitchen is beyond me. Wasted my hard earned money! read more

We love the early bird specials here - good selection and they include specials! We go for regular dinner also pretty often. Our service is always great and the food is always delicious! The sisters are usually our servers and treat us so well and are always delightful! I can't say enough good things about Due Fratelli. We love going here!!! read more

Made an appointment, waited for two weeks, they cancelled it at the last minute without an alternative day. Don't waste your time.

Very cozy restaurant with great waiter/waitress staff. I've had many of their dishes and every single one of them was fabulous. Prices are great and the specials are varied and well prepared. Food is abundant and overflowing. Some evenings there is a musician which adds to the ambience. read more

Food going downhill..the clams were like chewing hard bazooka bubble gum! really??? Had to spit them out..

Don't walk run to this place !!! we hosted our rehearsal dinner for my son here last night, and the food was outstanding as well as the service. read more

Due Fratelli - Had a wonderful lunch today . I will definitely be back again . - Italian Near Me - Hawthorne, New Jersey

Today I brought the Boys to Due Fratelli in Hawthorne. Little did I know we had been here years ago when it was Primo Amore !!! A very special thanks to Briana who went above and beyond for our crew of eleven. Not only was the service impeccable, but she gave us a Veteran discount and brought us an additional order of some mighty good Cannoli!! For the most reasonably priced Italian restaurant we've been to , I highly recommend Due Fratelli. We only had one appetizer which was the Fried Calamari which was excellent. For our entree we had : Italian Wrap , Eggplant Parmigiana, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Veal Piccata, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Salvational, Chicken Mediterranean, Chicken Scarpariello . Cappuccino followed with Cannoli, Cheesecake, and a Pistachio Cake that was off the charts ! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. We have been here 4x since discovering it and did takeout once. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They will do everything they can to make sure your meal is fabulous. All the meals we have had have been great. The portions are generous and the prices are super reasonable. One of the best veal dishes I have had from ANY restaurant. It's BYOB which makes it even better. read more

Had my mom's 90th birthday party (luncheon) here and it did not disappoint. Briana and Maria worked so hard to make everything special. They didn't miss a beat. The food was delicious and I am so grateful for their service. True professionals. I could go on and on but bottom line - it was an outstanding experience. Highly recommend. read more

Booked this place for a small holiday work party. There were about 20 of us and we got Buffett style for $27.95. The price cannot be beat, food and service were great and it's BYOB, so it's perfect!!! read more

We had my husbands retirement dinner there and although the food was good, the service was awful. Unless I got up to find someone, the wait staff did not come over to the table to see if we needed anything the entire time. I setup a preset menu to make things easier, but that didn't help. I had to find someone to ask about getting our appetizers, then again for our dinner order, then again to bring out our cake. The package also included coffee and tea, which we didn't get and they wait staff never asked anyone if they wanted any. We were there from 5:00 - 8:00, and had some small grandchildren with us. Some of our group had to leave before the cake, which the staff messed up taking it out of the box. I was extremely disappointed. read more

The atmosphere at Due Fratelli was top notch! Very romantic and welcoming.. and the food was amazing.. I ordered a chicken parmigiana with penne and vodka sauce which melted my senses. It was delicious!! Definitely recommend!! read more

We really like this place. It's one of our "go to" joints. And they are nice and accommodating.

I came here for the first time for a date night. I loved the ambiance once we sat down. The server was attentive and friendly. I normally go with something familiar when going to a restaurant I haven't been to before so I played it safe and got the Shrimp Scampi. It did not disappoint, the flavor was phenomenal and I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes! read more
