The ambience, service, and food are 5 stars individually and collectively. I started off with the short rib, but it was too sweet. They quickly allowed me to sub it for shrimp pasta. It was posted as seafood pasta, but I adjusted it just for shrimp. The flavors exploded with every bite. I will definitely be back. The manager came and checked on our table. He was very friendly and personable. read more

This place is inside the Encore casino outside of Boston. Amazing drinks. Great service and very good food. We only had appetizers. The bruschetta is very interesting as you can see on the picture. Not the traditional or what we were expecting but pretty good. The broccoli was a lil bitter but the others were great read more

We came for dinner in the middle of the week, had a reservation. We had the Caesar salad, chicken parm, and zucchini noodles.. all were very good! The zucchini noodles was actually pasta with a zucchini sauce.. which isnt how it read on the menu but it was really good! Only complaint is that it's very cold in the restaurant... read more

On the second night my friend was in town, we decided to go to the Encore to check it out as neither of us had been. We both spend a lot of time in Las Vegas so we wanted to see what Encore Boston had to offer. We were underwhelmed by the Encore as compared to Vegas but were pretty happy with Fratelli's. The restaurant is loud - very loud and if you have read my previous reviews, you know that is a huge turn off for me, but the food was good. We started with the meatballs which were excellent. I had the special seafood risotto, which was excellent, even if the calamari was overcooked and tough. My friend had the spaghetti and meatballs which he said was good as well. I am not sure we will ever be back...there is nothing negative here, but if you compare Fratelli's and Encore to what we can get by jumping on a plane and going to Vegas, there is no comparison. Special shout out to "Uncle Joe" who was celebrating his birthday at the table next to us with 10 of his closest family members. Uncle Joe, your niece is a loud mouthed tool and she needs to learn how to behave and treat employees of establishments with a little respect. read more

For the price that you're paying, there should be an ounce of seasoning on any of the food. You're paying essentially double what you would at any decent Italian place that will serve you better plates. The service was good but nothing to write home about. The only notable thing on the menu were the different oysters that you could get. They tasted fresh and it was nice to experience the different flavors. Overall, I will not be returning to Fratelli's anytime in the near future. read more

This place seems to get worse each time. Well the service does. The food is pretty much the same. I've learned if you are single you probably should make a reservation online. Otherwise they tell you they can't sit you or to come back in 2 hours to there is a place at the bar. If you reserve online they can't really do that. Also, if you are a party of two, they may tel you they can sit you at 9:30. Unless you look like you are in a wedding party. There seems to be a lot of judging at the podium. Service sucks. I want to say my last female waiter was the worst, but most of the ones I've had aren't good. You will sit and wait for water and wait and wait. Or soda. But in observing other tables, if you are not yet done your alcohol they will ask you if you want another. And they don't have the timing down. At least not for me. My salad came before my bread. Both came before my soda. I started eating my salad and the waitress came to take my main course order. It was out in under 10 minutes. I was half done my salad. So it sat on my table getting cold. I hadn't even cut it when the waitress asked how it was when I moved it to be in front of me. I didn't want to give a tip because she was horrible. But I'm sure she tips out the runners and busboys. So I did. Most amazing people in the restaurant are the Bussers. They move from table to table cleaning and clearing and bring water if they notice it empty. They seem like nice blokes who stay busy. Bathrooms are outside the restaurant and there isn't much to look at inside the restaurant. You can see out the windows to some games or watch other tables or the staff moving about. That's it. 2 stars? Food is good enough and so many other places at encore are things I can't have. Service is a one star. read more

I have mixed feelings for this spot. One really good thing about this restaurant, the service was superb. Very accommodating. The food itself was alright. I'm happy I tried it out but probably wouldn't go back. Mainly because of price. can get better Italian in the North end for cheaper. Just my opinion. Nothing against this restaurant ! The old fashioned was almost $20 . Totally not worth it ( stay away )LOL One thing I will admit, the swordfish tasted super fresh. The fish itself was amazing. The dish overall, not great. The taste did not go well at all. The bok choy was very random lol Overall... this place is ok. read more

We had booked our reservation for 6pm on a Thursday. We got there on time and were seated promptly as far in to the end of the restaurant as possible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right next to a large group of very loud very drunk people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Needless to say that is not why I am giving this 1 star although it was a definitely negative for our experience. The reason for 1 star: We ordered 3 different entrees and all were way over priced and not very tasty. We could have eaten at the Olive Garden, had way better tasting food, bigger portions and payed a lot less. Very disappointing... read more

Off the bat, the service by each staff member who attended our table was very professional and courteous throughout our dining experience while celebrating our friends' birthdays, such as clearing out empty dishes as the food emptied into our stomachs and lighting the candles for the cakes and coming around the table without our friends noticing. You guys know how enamored I'm with espresso martinis so I had to order one and this time, it was only one. Even though it was a different spin with cocoa on the rim, the espresso element didn't really come through. Anytime we see grilled octopus, we don't think twice. The portion size of octopus was on the medium to lower side and the presentation wasn't too appealing; however, the tenderness and charcoal flavor shone though. The sautéed mushrooms and clams as well as the shrimp scampi were pretty standard, but I did enjoy the shrimp more. We ordered a few pasta dishes too. By far the best was the Positano, which we had to order a second round (you should too!). The al dente consistency of the pasta coupled with the fragrant and herbal oiliness (but not too oily) of the sauce coating each strand stood out. The Gragnano was a bit too cheesy but definitely enjoyed its decadence. And the Capri had a nice bite but wouldn't be a dish to re-order. Meat and fish dishes were also in order for the night. We were very curious about the truffle-crusted tuna but even though the tuna was very velvety (no need for teeth here), there was absolutely no truffle flavor, whether as an undertone or overtone. One of the waiters came out and displayed our 36 oz. tomahawk ribeye prior to cutting and we were delighted to sink our teeth into a slice. Cooked to a medium rare to rare, it melted with each chew but would've benefited with a dash more salt and pepper. The best meat dish was the braised beef short ribs and if you think you don't need teeth for the tuna, just place a slice in your mouth, lower your palate and slowly rotate against your tongue to allow the juices to coat and soak your tastebuds and the let meat perfectly disintegrate around. Talk about not needing teeth or gums! The atmosphere was contemporary and tempered but not as spacious as there were some tight corners. Would return here for a few dishes but would say it's a pretty solid spot if you're craving Italian in the Encore casino. read more

Good restaurant inside the casino. It may be a bit noisy with all the machines outside but you can still enjoy a good meal. Service staff, however, could improve. Our waiter wasn't too attentive despite there not being a lot guests . He disappeared at times and I had to call someone else to cash me out. read more

Our waiter was fantastic. He was a young guy from Mexico who gave my lady friend good advice on her wine choice. English was not his first language but he pushed through her nonstop talking and politely answered her 10 (ten! yikes) questions about menu items. We stayed a long time savoring the whole dining experience and I ended up gladly tipping him like 40% because he deserved double my usual rate! read more

Guys listen to me.....here in this hotel for 4 nights....I ate at this restaurant for 2. Noel first night. Rogerio the second night. ATTENTION MANAGER....please commend them.

Fratelli is hands down one of our favorite restaurants -- not just in Encore, but in general. It has the cozy feel and delicious food of the North End with the perfect upscale touches to make you feel really special when dining there. Food, cocktails, and service are all exceptional. Bill the bartender and Natalia, server, are our absolute favorites. They are both attentive and very clearly care about their guests, remembering little details that make us feel right at home when we visit. If you are a veal fan, do not miss their veal cutlet Milanese! Other standouts are their homemade dressing on the Caesar salad, shrimp scampi and bruschetta appetizers, sea bass entree, and tiramisu. Thank you, Mr. Varano and Mr. DePasquale. You are quite the restaurateurs each in your own rights, but together you have made something really special! read more

I've never been to encore but I was in the area and decided to make a visit. I'm more of a foodie than a gambler so I searched for a restaurant. I stumbled upon this gem Fratelli. They have an early bird pre fixe meal that includes and app a pasta an entree and a dessert. If you're not looking to break the bank I HIGHLY suggest getting this. It's $50 Monday to Friday 4-6. This was my second visit so I knew exactly which pasta I wanted and skipped the pre fixe menu. I started with a standard caprese salad. Really good quality mozzarella cheese and heirloom tomatoes. I love love love spaghetti carbonara if I could be reincarnated I would want to come back as carbonara. This place makes top 2 in best carbonara I've ever had. They serve it in a pan and I guarantee you will not want to share it unless you get full and you have to. The sauce is light the pasta is perfectly Al dente and it has guanciale which is my preferred protein in carbonara. I couldn't ask for anything more in a dish. I had caramel gelato and a dark (no baileys) espresso martini for dessert. Fair warning though drinks are pricey. My cosmo and espresso martini were pushing $20/piece. Otherwise it's an amazing Italian restaurant to visit if you're in the area. read more

These people should be ashamed of themselves for the prices! I don't care the about the flair or spin you put on it: it's still spaghetti and meatballs! If you have the nerve to charge $28 for a plate of it, it best be the best MF MEATBALL you have ever had. Let me break it to you, it wasn't. I got two appetizers for my meal: meatballs and ricotta $18 and a Caesar Salad $15 If you are visiting Encore, win big if you plan to eat or go somewhere else read more

We had enjoyed our first visit last year, but not our second. The food was not quite warm when it reached our table and on the bland side. Paying inflated prices for subpar dishes and mediocre service hardly warrants another visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But maybe the food wasn't hot because the air conditioning was so damn strong. Bring a sweater.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Better yet, find a better spot. read more

I agree with other reviewers that the restaurant just started up and with being brand new, there may be some issues. I ordered the gnocchi dish and the table had meatball and calamari appetizers. The meatballs were great and the calamari were not chewy but maybe had a little too much batter although not oily. The gnocchi were very soft and fluffy but the overall dish didn't wow me with flavors that I was hoping for in such a high end restaurant. Maybe thats part of the growing pains, not sure. I did really like the presentation of the food though. It came in a skillet for you to eat out of! Luckily a lot of the pasta plates are under $20 but most have no meat. It can get pricier quick once you go to the main entree plates with a steak costing about $50. For now, I feel there are many other high end restaurants in downtown that are established and easier to get to than having to go to the casino. read more

I dont feel compelled to write Yelp reviews but as I sit here at this restaurant all I can say is terrible. I have nothing good to say. My drink had no alcohol, the food took over one hour to come and was served cold. The pasta was over cooked and just awful that my party couldn't even finish It when they were starving. Service was terrible. Waiter checked on us maybe 2 times at most. The silverware was dirty with lipstick stains as well. My eggplant parm tasted like It was from the frozen section of the supermarket topped with supermarket sauce. Could have made It for under $10 at home. The price point was NOT WORTH I T.. How do people enjoy this place? I would only say come here if this is truly your last resort. The only thing good about It is the level of convenience. I also asked for extra bread after waiting for one hour for food and It never came. ONE WORD: AVOID. read more

Considering the price of the food you'd think that you'd be in for a good experience. But after waiting over a hour for pasta, I can certainly say it was not worth it in the slightest. Bad service, overpriced drinks, overpriced food, dirty glasses and silverware. I ordered carbonara and I got ice cold overcooked pasta with watery buttery sauce and soft poorly cooked guanciale. I also ordered roasted wild mushrooms, and got a tray of Bella mushrooms with one or two different types of mushrooms. Truly a terrible experience in a terrible restaurant. read more

Visited here twice in a week, won't be coming back. The food is higher quality, but not as great as advertised, there are plenty better places in the Boston area. My first visit I only ordered cocktails and dessert, they were delicious. Emma went out of her way to accommodate my special request which I really appreciate! She is a truly a 5 star employee, not sure if I can say the same for others. My second visit last night started off wrong. From the time my friend and I, whom I might add is a known VIP at the casino, although no one should be treated the way we were. When we came in, we immediately felt like we were inconveniencing the bar when we were told we only had 90 minutes at the bar before they had to bring in new customers. Okay so they're already timing us less than 5 minutes from the time we sit down. We ordered a bottle of wine, and a half a dozen oysters to start. I was told the oysters are from Wellfleet, and they were okay, but some shell came off in my mouth. If it was a truly higher end establishment that wouldn't happen. We then ordered a 1942 shot, which is $42 for the record, and the Calamari & Fritto Misto: calamari, shrimp, scallops, fried onion strings, & citrus aioli. It was good but nothing too exciting. We were talking when we were introduced to a nice couple next to us. We were not breaking any social distancing rules, but looking to socialize while watching the game. Then management came in to tell us we were not allowed to socialize with people we did not come with. We were only allowed to speak to the people we came with. Needless to say, you can't tell me who I can and cannot speak to, and I wouldn't spend a dime here. read more

First off, Conrad is awesome! Attentive, timely and professional. The apps, cocktails, entree and dessert were everything we expected and then some. Loved it. read more

I had an experience that did not meet my expectations on May 5th. I was part of a group of three that was out celebrating a birthday. The appetizers were ok. Frito misto, calamari was over cooked zucchini flowers with way too much cheese, bruschetta flight. Dinner was not good. We split the porterhouse and had the kitchen slice it. It was ordered medium rare. It was served half rare and half well done. The worst part was the lobster fra diavolo. I dove in an attempt to separate the lobster meat from the shell. What a disaster. Sauce all over myself and gave up once I got the tail and a portion of the claw. We told the waiter and he explained "that's how we serve it" Totally unacceptable for a place that you would think has a high level of service and where people are spending some serious money on a meal. I would Like a call from management to address my concerns. Thanks read more

The food was over salted and everything on the menu was overpriced - definitely won't be back.

The food we had was awesome and service was great. It is not inexpensive but you can get some great food. It might cost you with no alcoholic beverages, around 140.00 for two people. It is very close to the Casino entrance. We were there on a Sunday early evening and it was easy finding parking and easy finding the restaurant. They have a bar with large screen televisions doing sports. read more

We were welcome with open arms upon entry. What a amazing team you have here. Our server Michael was absolutely outstanding and fully knowledgeable of everything on the menu. Our food was amazing only small issue I had was with the temperature of my pasta after being twirled in the cheese bowl it wasn't super hot but the flavor was there. Things happen and I get it so I'll keep my 5 star rating as I will be coming back. Bathrooms were kept clean and enough space between tables to be comfortable. All and all thanks for making our anniversary so special Michael appreciate all you did for us. read more

I went here with friends but it would be a good date place for you. Very quiet environment so if you're looking for something upbeat this isn't the place for you. I don't drink but everyone seemed to love the martinis and the appetizers were amazing. I really loved the cheeses and gnocchi dishes the scampi was OK nothing special. Prices are pretty high but expected at encore. The food is definitely fresh and the service is great. I personally would rather goto the North end but if your at encore this is probably your best option. read more

Service is always great. We have eaten many times at Fratelli's and had outstanding meals. We invited 2 guests telling them how great Fratelli's is. Unfortunately our dinner was not good last night. I and one guest ordered Veal Milanese. Both Veal Milanese were like saw dust and lots of fat. Really terrible - both pieces overcooked - could not eat! Way below 1 star! Needless to say, we were not pleased. read more

The service was impeccable. The food and drinks were even better. For an appetizer, I ordered the Calamari and Fritto Misto. I enjoyed that this dish was not only calamari but it also had shrimp and scallops too. This dish was lightly breaded to perfection. I ordered the Sorrento dish. It was one of the best gnocchi I have ever tasted, and the sauce was made to perfection. I paired it with an espresso martini which was also one of the best I've ever had. I'll be back! :) read more

Wow talk about a disappointment. I went to Encore to grab a bite, kings late-Boston late, Was originally headed to Nightshift bar (great food!) but kitchen was closed. Ended up at Fratelli, nice presentable upscale for a casino restaurant...at least they try to be. 1st - Drinks: Ordered an old fashioned off menu. Poison. Poison. Ok, I'm a big time Bourbon MORE THAN DRINKER...I LOVE IT AND RESPECT IT. My drink had no purpose. Just a waste of nice casual Jefferson Reserve. OMG, 2nd - Waiter: Stoic, non attentive and just should not be in the service industry. 3rd - Food: OMG, last because it was the worst 200 meal ever! Only a single entree ordered, two apps and three drinks. Not a single item was seasoned or had any taste. (Unless you count cheese on charcuterie board.) I ordered the Chilean Sea bass...first it was not properly cooked, so it was harder in the middle than the seared outer sides. Beyond whatever it was seared with the fish itself was bland. This was one of worst tasting meals ever. I will give it another shot though cause anyone can have an off night. I'll be sure to go before 10pm. read more

The waiter was less than enthusiastic and appeared a bit nervous. Once our meals came we were not offered parm or cracked pepper. Calamari was bland & overcooked. Seafood risotto calamari was over cooked in that as well. I ordered the ravioli and felt it was cooked to perfection. Usually we sit in the bar. I recommend that over a table. portions are large so sharing is ideal. read more

The service is Amazing! There menu is small but I like that. To me that means they can perfect everything that comes out of their kitchen. To start we had the shrimp scampi which only came with 3 so that wasn't enough for the group of 4 luckily one of us didn't want any. For my meal I had the Chilean Sea Bass and Risotto (which i ordered as side but came as a small meal especially for the amount) but back to my Sea Bass- i loved the twist of sweet glaze they added on the top coat. The Drinks were creative on menu but I had a lemon drop martini which was good!. All the meals were not big portions but yet all very yummy. You can tell that every dish made from scratch however I think that due to their Casino location their prices are a little over the top. Overall great experience! Very accommodating for our last minute reservation for such a big group of 8! read more

I just got off the phone with the manager who did nothing to help me or make things better for his customers that actually come in there often . Maybe that's why bar was empty last night . Anyway I was totally upset that they charge 24.00 for a glass of moscato more than my husbands 19 dollar martini seemed Rude to me no price by the glass on menu . Ladies at the bar are lovely but manager was no help at all . He told me the brand a whole bottle is under 20.00 They are ripping us off . He said it was expensive moscato it wasn't !!!! I get that it 's high end but I don't like being ripped off . The fact that a manager could care less about un happy frequent customer.
