Got the craprese and chick parm. Very good. Added chicken to my caprese. We would come back for chicken parm and burritos. We tried to order burritos by 2pm on Sunday but they sold out of the only flavor we like, steak and egg+tots burrito! We will be back thank you :)) Casual ambiance and lots of outdoor seating. read more

My friend and I wanted to try breakfast since we enjoyed lunch so much. Fratelli's is super accommodating if you want to order specifically for your needs. I just wanted eggs and bacon. The eggs would have been tastier with cheese and hash browns but I'm not eating that right now. This was satisfactory. The breakfast specials all looked good. I also took a picture of the Italian cookies they sell as they are always (gone) when I'm here as I'm sure they are the best cookie ever. Love the service and vibe here. read more

Every Wednesday morning we do grocery shopping and on the way home we order take out from this eatery. We have never been disappointed by the food or service. Recently I looked at the Specials that were available and discovered that they had a Muffuletta. Now we only became aware of the Muffuletta while watching a TV food show a few years back. Got the recipe, bought the ingredients, and enjoyed our first one. Then we had the occasion to travel to New Orleans and had an authentic one. Since then we've only had a Muffuletta on a rare occasion because of the challenges in rounding up the right ingredients. Today my wife each ordered a Muffuletta for lunch and I'm here to tell you it was fantastic! As good as the one we enjoyed in New Orleans. Word of caution, it is a big sandwich. read more

I am not the biggest sandwich fan I crave theirs. All the flavors and options are exceptional. The staff is really nice and helpful. We went randomly and they had music bingo and a super fun and lively. Honestly I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back to try more food . read more

Came back and I'll keep coming back. Awesome staff and an amazing gluten free menu. The amount of options they have here is great and there's something for everyone. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating too. It can get a little loud inside but they keep the place really clean. The breakfast sandwiches are loaded with meat and are fantastic. The dinner sandwiches could probably use a little more because it can feel like a lot of bread compared to meat, but they still taste really good. They also have awesome specials throughout the week. Still at the top of my list for sandwiches in the area. read more

Delicious sandwiches!! They offer great options for gluten free. Their gluten free rolls are really good and decent size! I've had their breakfast sandwiches as well as deli sandwiches. They also offer gluten free desserts and baked goods! They offer gluten free meatball parm! It's amazing what they can make gluten free. They had ample outdoor nice seating with umbrellas. They also have outdoor games for kids to play (connect 4). Bathrooms were clean and staff was friendly! read more

They offer lots of NY/NJ deli options and next time I want to try the lunch sandwiches. read more

good was great. Ambiance was nice. People were nice. Selection was great. desserts looked great... My daughter is a meatball freak, so she had the Meatball Parm House-made meatballs. topped with melted provolone, and our signature marinara, and really enjoyed it. She eats like a bird, so was able to have half for dinner and half for lunch the next day. My boy had the Chicken Parm which is similar to the meatball but with a chicken cutlet. I think that he enjoyed it, but it disappeared to fast to find out They do their breakfast all day, so my eldest got the Wake up Cali with Egg whites, spinach, sauteed onions and mushrooms, avocado, roasted tomato, feta cheese, and quinoa, which he really enjoyed. My wife had the Da' Beef with house made Italian beef with a side of au jus. She got hers with the hot giardiniera on an Italian hero, and fresh mozzarella, and said that it was very good. I had the the Steak Philly WIT, also with the hot giardiniera. It too was very good, with an unexpected kick to the heat on the mixins. The people were all very nice, and I ordered from them at the counter and just waited. The only drawback is that most of the restaurants these days use an online or delivery service that generally screw something up or forget something, and generally add a few bucks to each of the items on the menu... no offense, but I will never use any of their services. I will wait instead, which guarantees me a hot meal... It was. thanks. I may be wrong about the delivery and order options... but not worth trying, not for a hundred bucks. read more

From the moment I stepped into Fratelli's Delicatessen in Apex, NC, I was thoroughly impressed. The space is bright, spacious, and welcoming--a relatively new spot that has quickly become a local favorite. The place is clearly popular. My first visit was during a bustling Friday lunchtime crowd, and my second, a busy Monday lunch, was equally full. The ordering system is efficient: browse the menu while you get in line, place your order at the cashier, get a number, and choose your table. Your food is brought right out to you. A standout feature was the staff; everyone was genuinely smiling. I looks for this as a great indicator of a positive dining experience, and it usually works out - both of my visits confirmed this hunch. The service is friendly, quick, and makes you feel right at home. As a massive "Chicken Parm" enthusiast, I can attest that their large sub sandwich was excellent. The chicken, sauce and cheese were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were spot-on. The bread seemed lightly toasted, as it should be. On my next visit, I branched out and tried the Philly Cheesesteak, which was also very good. (The photos, I promise, look mouth-watering!) I would definitely recommend Fratelli's Delicatessen to anyone who hasn't yet visited. I made the approximately 10-mile drive from east Cary, and I will certainly be coming back for more. It's well worth the trip. read more

Went in to get us all dinner and for my husband to try the pastrami on rye.I have had the cold chicken cutlet (that one is great) I got the chicken parmigiana and a Gluten Free meatball sub for our daughter in law. My husband said the pastrami was fatty. I was not a big fan of the chicken parmigiana- it didn't have enough chicken it was flat and over cooked- Our daughter in law said he sandwich was more bread the meatballs (I looked and seen- there was a lot of bread) We also tried the Long Island potato salad 1 strange flavor - expensive for a half full container (mostly mayo) Service was Great, counter help was friendly. read more

I got to visit here for a Yelp event full of delicious sandwich samples that I won't review here to follow Yelp rules. But! I can review their cannoli, because the mini cannoli sample they gave us was SO GOOD that I had to buy a couple to take home. I usually don't even like cannoli - I usually find the filling too cloyingly sweet - but Fratelli's filling maintains enough tang that I just couldn't get enough. It balances so well against the crispy fried-but-not-greasy shell. Chef's kiss perfection. I also want to note that they have an absolutely massive dessert case stocked full of all kinds of treats, including lots of gluten free options (and they can make basically their entire sandwich menu gluten-free as well; one of the owners is gluten-free, so I extra trust them to be vigilant about cross-contamination). I was tempted by the multiple styles of cheesecake, bread pudding, pie, etc, but opted for more cannoli because they were just that good. read more

I visited Fratelli's for the first time on Monday for a Yelp Elite Event. Loved the place so much that I came back on Friday. Don't judge-just go try it out. For my second visit, I ordered the Reuben sandwich. Hands down-this is one of the best Reuben sandwiches that I have ever had. The corned beef has shredded texture, the mixture of the sauerkraut and thousand island dressing adds a great tanginess, and lastly, the Swiss cheese covered the entire sandwich. The rye bread was soft and is sliced for a large portion. Honestly, I ate this sandwich over two meals. The cashier was very attentive and helpful when asked questions. It was nice to receive this level of customer service when the deli was packed on a Friday night. I plan to visit Fratelli's again to experience their breakfast menu within the next couple of months. read more

This was an amazing event! I had never eaten in this area or been to this place and it did not disappoint. The event offered an abundance of food to try which I appreciate because now I know what to order when I come back. We had 3 cold sandwich samplers and 3 hot sandwich samplers with a pasta salad and cucumber salad as well as a non alcoholic drink. We also got to try their cannoli which was tasty and fresh. It was so much food I took the three hots to go and had them for lunch for three days of the workweek. They heated up very well in the oven (tasted fresh)! Also always appreciate the Yelp Swag! Been using the tote as my lunch bag for work. I also purchased their bread pudding and pecan cheesecake to go which were absolutely amazing! I am definitely coming back and telling everyone in know to go try it! read more

It was extremely busy on a nice day on Sunday. We didn't start and decided to go back during the week for lunch. It was cold and rainy. It was difficult getting a seat inside. There aren't many. The food was ok although I do not like eating salad out of a container with plastic silverware. I am Gluten Free and I noticed when I was sitting there that there are many gluten free options including gf wraps. There are even gf bakery items. I will be back for those. read more

We recently stopped by Fratelli's on our way back in to Raleigh. The ambience is bustling and crowded with tables running over and not cleaned. The line forms awkwardly but in the end, it's all worth it. I had the chicken cordon bleu panini and the cutlet was perfection. My husband had the BLT on multigrain and it was very hearty as well. We upgraded to a Combo with chips and a drink for $4 and ended up bringing the chips home! We did not try any of the glorious looking desserts in the glass case but will be back! PRO TIP: for lunch get a HALF sandwich. The portions are huge! read more

Excellent deli food! Stopped at Fratelli's for weekday lunch. Every seat was taken..always a good sign. It's an order at the counter, they deliver the food to the table place. 10 minutes from order to service. Food is delicious. A heaping serving of freshly thick-sliced pastrami is served on toasted marble rye, slathered in spicy deli mustard. Meat is a little less lean than I'd prefer, but it's prepared perfectly - moist & tender. Corned beef reuben was equally good. Meat very lean, moist & tender. Same marble rye. Slathered with Russian dressing. Mmmmm. My only disappointment? They were sold out of Dr. Browns cream soda . Luckily they had black cherry to substitute. read more

After hearing months of hype, I made the 23 minute drive and the wait was worth it (despite 25 people being on line in front of me). I had a plan on what I would order, but when I saw the vodka parm special, my mind raced on what I would do. The vodka parm tasted marvelous, it's basically a chicken parm sandwich on a lightly toasted sub roll with mozz, provolone, and a little bit of pesto, always a great addition to these kinds of sandwiches. I had to tell the runner that I was having both sandwiches and she immediately declared me her new favorite customer. But I did not stop at just one sandwich, oh no. I lived in Chicago for 20 years and have taken down more than my share of Italian beef sandwiches. This wasn't the biggest I've ever had, but I can say the beef was incredibly flavorful and would be worth eating again. Except I'd do the combo with the Italian sausage included. It also came with a side of the beef gravy, plenty more than I needed! Also the giardinera added plenty of heat. The fire did fade after a couple of minutes, but in the moment, that heat was pretty powerful. And each sandwich comes with a pickle spear, major props for that! I also like they have fountain drinks as well as Dr. Browns cans and bottled Cokes (with cane sugar, as it should be!). Plenty of grab and go options from their fridge and they also serve beer and wine. For suggestions, I would add shredded cheddar to the menu, I just prefer cheddar over mozz on my Italian beef. And if I could add one sandwich, it would be a Philly roast pork... I will definitely find time to come back and keep eating my way through the menu. Maybe next time, I'll go for the pastrami and meatball sandwiches...with a Chicago hot dog for dessert! read more

The food at Fratellis is genuinely good--we ordered Italian subs, a meatball sub, and Italian sausage and peppers, and everything was well-made and flavorful (though my son's Italian did have a pretty heavy hand with the mayo). The real issue is capacity: we came in on a rainy day when they were slammed, and with the counter-order model, there was simply nowhere to sit when our food came out--we ended up having to pack everything to go. I get it's a good problem to have when they're this busy, but it's also the kind of thing that may keep us from coming back. At $80 for a lunch for four, the seating situation would need to work better to justify the price point. read more

Staff is friendly read more

I finally checked out Fratelli's after hearing so much hype and let me just say.. it absolutely lived up to it! The food was incredible. On my first visit, I tried the Triple-Decker Club and the Steak Philly Wit, and both were outstanding. I usually lean toward hot sandwiches but the Triple-Decker Club was phenomenal. Fratelli's was so good that I went back the very next day to try the New Yorker, and wow... that might be my favorite sandwich yet. The food came out fast. By the time I ordered and washed my hands, it was already ready. I sat outside since the weather was nice, and it made the whole experience even better. I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you're a sandwich lover or not, Fratelli's is worth a visit. read more

Lowering to a one star because this owner has been combative in several other platforms vs taking constructive criticism and doubles down on every single thing I've mentioned. Apparently they use all high quality ingredients. But I'm calling BS on that as their food sucks. Just make better sandwiches and use better products and teach your staff how to be a real deli and then maybe you'll survive this economy. Rolling out mediocre products won't help you. And doubling down instead of using the initial comments as a chance for growth shows me you won't do better next time So sad too bad. read more

First time trying Fratelli's but had heard good things about it. Went in dinner and was surprised to see how crowded they were with more and more people coming in and lining up. The dining room on the inside was completely full and they had live music going on. I had a half Fratellis Press and then my son had the full BLT. I really enjoyed the press- the Granny Smith Apple on it was a great touch. I would definitely have it again and would also like to go back for breakfast. It's a place we will keep in our rotation and nice to have a good deli nearby! read more

Visiting fratelli's is kind of like going to Philadelphia, Chicago and New York all at once. You can get a dipped Italian beef with real giardinera, or Chicago dog. They have Philly cheese steak, and they have pastrami on rye. Service is fast, and there's plenty of seating. It has a nice New York deli feel to it. I stopped over for lunch to meet up with a friend, and I found the food to be hearty and filling. It's quite popular with the locals, and I hear the brunch is really good, too. read more

This place was pretty great! Love the ascetic and decor inside. They have a deli counter to get your meats and cheeses to go. A take and bake section. And pre- made food section. Also a beer /bar counter. The dessert section looked incredible. We tried the cannoli. It was delicious. I wanna try the Italian cookies next time. ( sold by the pound) We ordered the New Yorker, the triple decker club, Chicago dog, macaroni salad, and a cannoli and sticky bun. It was all really good. The new Yorker was tasty. Dressing was perfect. Could have used a bit more meat. But that's just me being a big guy I think. Lol The triple club was kinda mid. It just felt like it was missing something. Still a decent sandwich though. The Chicago dog was a home run. It was sooo freaking good. They even had the bright green real deal relish. Macaroni salad was really good. Creamy, had a nice zip. It had diced up pickles in it . The rest of the menu looks incredible. Can't wait to go back and try them! Once this place hits it stride... it's still fairly new.... It's gonna be the best sandwich place in apex! I just know it. read more

Fratelli's Delicatessen was an amazing experience from the moment I walked in. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care and attention to quality. Every bite exceeded my expectations, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really stood out just as much as the food was the customer service. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. They were knowledgeable about the menu, patient with questions, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. It's not often you find a place that delivers both outstanding food and excellent customer service, but Fratelli's Delicatessen truly does.

After a year of them being open I finally got around to trying them out and was not disappointed. Desperately needed as I love deli/sandwich shops and we were lacking one in the nearby, this is a welcome additional fantastic addition tot he area. The interior is spacious and well curated with subway tiles behind the counter and clean displays. The seating is plentiful and their branding is quite nice and fun. The sandwich menu is extensive with a range of options, something for anybody including more traditional options and some nice specialties; there are even some vegetarian offerings. While I did not have a side I will have to try them next time. The sandwhich proportions were also quite good in my opinion. As in while they were not piled high to the point of being a brick, the filling was plentiful and ratio of bread to filling was nice while still being a substantial and filling portion (for a full sandwich). In addition to sandwiches they have a display case full of fantastic looking desserts which u will definitely be returning for. Also, there is a meat and cheese counter which is quite convenient so that one can get some slices to go. The service was friendly and prompt, for dine in and takeout, and pricing was fair. I will absolutely be returning to try out more of their offerings and would highly recommend. read more

Terrific Chicago beef sandwich. Great, speedy service. I'll be back to try many of their items.

I have my first Fratelli experience this week. A friend wanted to meet for lunch to talk some business, and I suggested Fratelli and he jumped on it, as it is one of his favorite places. We went in knowing exactly what we wanted (for me that was pastrami on rye with mustard, no cheese please) but when we saw a chopped cheese and a pork belly breakfast sandwich as specials, the plans went out the window. We got both and split them. Definitely a good call. Great food. Short service note, we ordered a pasta salad and a macaroni salad and afterwards noticed in the display case that there were olives in the pasta salad (I'm not sure why people put olives in food) and popped back to the cashier and asked to make them both macaroni salad and he said sure with a smile on his face and ran over to the order window and wrote the change on the ticket and we got exactly what we wanted. I'll definitely be back for their regular menu items! read more
