    Fantastic dinner spot within Encore! Complimentary bread was great (especially loved the garlic that came with it!!). All of the pasta was wonderful - everyone got different pasta entrees and they all loved it. Also ordered calamari to start which also had fried shrimp, scallops, onion strings in there - loved the taste, but felt like the presentation of that item could be better (it was in a basket where the food seemed to easily fall out, so it was messy). Service was attentive. Lively atmosphere. Went for dinner on Thursday and it was pretty popular!

    Beautifully plated dinners carefully crafted to wow your tastebuds. Simple and stunning elevated Italian fare. Great service and a very fun ambiance. The atmosphere of the casino sneaks into Fratellis and you can watch game play while you dine. Love this spot for dinner with the parents, they have options for everyone!

    We have been here a few times. It offers authentic Italian food inside the Encore. Inside is very clean and quiet. The expresso martini is one of the best I have had. They bring bread with olives, roasted garlic and olive oil which is great. The last time we were here I saw a different table order the Parmesan wheel pasta and I really wanted to try it but we went there and had something different. They offer a special called Rush Hour MONDAY - THURSDAY, 4PM - 6PM $49.95 per person. It is a great deal and includes the following. Choice of One of Our Appetizers PASTA SECONDI and. DESSERT. If you are planning a trip to The Boston Encore you should definitely check out Fratelli's!

    Service was very good. Food overall was good. Nothing stood out as spectacular but overall is a nice experience and ambience. Definitely not worth the price but once in a while, you are looking to endulge or celebrate and occasion, It's a good spot. We got the steak carpaccio, fried calamari, zucchini, flowers, clam/mussels and red sauce and the grilled octopus. The zucchini flowers were the star of the show. The rest were all good no complaints, but nothing was yowzers. Entrées, we got stuffed lobster, grilled Franzino and a couple of steaks. Again, if you're celebrating go for it a nice spot in the hotel.

    You can always expect a decent meal at the Fratelli in the Encore Casino. We came to celebrate my birthday and had a delicious meal starting with their bread and dipping oil and the meatballs with homemade ricotta. The bread is good along with the dipping spread it comes with, we just wish the bread was warm. The meatballs and homemade ricotta were delicious, you have to dip your bread in the sauce. For the rest of our meal, we had the ravioli caprese and filet mignon with double mashed potatoes and popover. The ravioli is a classic and can't go wrong ordering it. The steak was cooked to perfection, just melts in your mouth along with the mashed potatoes. They were booked up for a Friday night, I would definitely suggest making a reservation for the weekend. As for the service, we were left waiting for a while before a server noticed us. She did not share any specials with us and seemed to rush us a bit. We had ordered a different dessert, but tiramisu was brought out. Regardless of the mistake it was still delicious!

    I took my wife to Fratelli for her birthday. We had a very nice time. Everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the chicken parmesan. My wife and I will be back!

    Awesome place the bar was a good size. The restaurant was very nice casual and comfortable. The service was excellent and very friendly helpful and on top of everything. The food was excellent had meatballs for an appetizer along with oysters nice and fresh had the bone in New York sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection the lobster plates were just as good everything was perfect.

    I had the chance to visit Fratelli while staying at Encore Boston Harbor. Glad I snagged a reservation since it was SO busy - and sadly that resulted in slow service (but it was the holidays so understandable). I started off with the Luna cocktail which gave the vibe of a creamsicle + tequila (a bit too sweet for me). The pink grigio + caesar salad for the appetizer was actually superb, and I do call myself a caesar salad connoisseur. The caesar salad made my top 3 list of salads for 2024!! My entree was solid but didn't stand out to me flavor wise. I got the pasta & meatballs. The meatballs were a bit too dense for my liking, but the sauce was great. Another star of the show was the Famous Espresso Martini which was the perfect liquid dessert. If you are going to Encore, book a reservation here!

    Came for the espresso martini and they were good! We had fast service and Fratelli's is a nice Italian restaurant in Encore. Solid ambiance and would come back to try their food.

    Had the most amazing meal! Service was spectacular. Had the calamari appetizer but forgot to take a pic..Must try if you've never had it. It had shrimp, scallops and fried onion rings. For dinner I chose the Veal chop, stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese. It was to die for!! My husband had the Veal Osso Bucco that he said was delicious!. For desert I had the deconstructed tiramisu and he had the bread pudding..the perfect ending to an incredible evening. Oh and dont forget the Espresso Martini, hands down the best around!. We can't wait to go back!

    Absolutely delicious! Parking Parking lot available under building Service Sat at the bar, served by Billy. Very attentive and sweet, couldn't have asked for better service Location In the casino but still very pretty, you can sit in a quieter location away from the casino floor or people watch right at the window

    Wonderful dinner at Fratelli. Located in the back of the casino. The meal started with very good bread. We had meatballs for an appetizer which were great, really good sauce. The meals we had were chicken parm, brick chicken, and shrimp scampi (not on the menu as an entree but they were very accommodating). Also got a side of carrots. Everything was delicious. Really nice portion sizes.

    We went to Batifol on a Sunday night specifically for the steak frites, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. There were very few redeeming aspects to the meal, and we left feeling both disrespected and unsatisfied as customers. The issues started right away. We ordered drinks--including a pear mocktail--but were brought the wrong ones, and then they attempted to charge us for those incorrect drinks. In hindsight, the cocktail mix-up should have been a warning of what was to come. The pear mocktail itself was also quite bad. The service felt chaotic throughout the night. We asked multiple times for additional servings of steak and fries, but were largely ignored. Meanwhile, nearby large tables were repeatedly served, cleared out entire trays, and still received more attention from staff. For an all-you-can-eat steak frites offering, we each received only one serving despite several requests. As for the food itself, it did not make up for the service. The steak was just okay--some pieces were chewy and overly fatty, though acceptable if refills had actually been provided. The fries, however, were terrible. Our first serving was so hard it was nearly inedible, and the only refill we received was just as bad. I also ordered the spinach risotto, which was slightly better than the steak, but it was so salty I couldn't finish it. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

    I tried out the 40 dollar brunch that is offered on the weekends. It is an endless brunch with a…read morebuffet along the bar. They had everything from eggs to sausage to french toast to pasta to tiramisu to muffins to much more. They also have juices, coffee and hot chocolate. The brunch does not include alcohol as that could be added. The service was amazing, our waitress was constantly filling up our waters throughout the meal and checking up on us. The managers were also walking around checking up on everyone. I highly recommend checking out Batifol for brunch on the weekends. You will not leave hungry!

Super sweet person tho Our table was bummed about the dessert selection - bring back the classic tiramisu in a glass!! Sadly, the stuffed garlic bread was not warm enough for a nice cheesepull like the videos either. The tulip-shaped scallop ravioli was the star, with a moderately rich butter sauce. As for the lobster spaghetti, barely any lobster was detected. Chill pond-facing spot with open seating and turtle-speed service from kind servers with good drink recs. There were just 3 groups eating with us and it took half an hour for the food to be served. Medium portions weren't filling at all so we were hoping the dessert would offset that. I still think changing dessert menus once a year is better than every season especially considering that low foot traffic that night.

Food: We enjoyed everything we ordered, but the standouts were the fried mozzarella and the pastas. The fried mozzarella was perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey throughout. Then the rigatoni bolognese and the spicy lobster pasta were the ideal choices for the two of us. We especially loved the chew and texture of the fresh pasta. Service: This was the definition of seamless. The staff always had a purpose when they came by and it felt like we were being looked after. No moments of awkwardly wanting to ask for the dessert menu or the check. Atmosphere: We couldn't stop looking at all the amazing decor. Our window seats especially had great soft lighting. All the fixtures and elegant colors matched the high quality of the food.

As with any good restaurant, its menu is well curated. While there is a nice outdoor dining area, given the heat of the day, we dined inside. Without reservations, we were accommodated at the bar. Reservations are a must. Bar seating is fine, there is ample space, not at all crowded. The bartender doubled as our waiter. He was very knowledge about the menu and personable. As an appetizer, my son and I split the chicken cutlet - which for some could be a meal. Delicious as always. As an entree, I ordered my favorite, the pizza margherita.
