    I had a doctor's appointment at Duke Health next door and decided to stop by afterward for lunch at Fratelli's Delicatessen. Safe to say this was the best part of my afternoon. We ordered the Chicago Dog, the Reuben Sandwich, and finished things off with a cannolo (yes, the singular form of cannoli). The Chicago Dog was delicious and loaded with flavor, although I have to admit the toxic-green relish initially threw me off a bit (see pic). Once I got past the visual shock, it was actually a fantastic hot dog that stayed true to its Chicago roots. The real star, though, was the Reuben Sandwich. At around $15, it was absolutely worth every penny. Generously stacked, perfectly toasted, and packed with tender meat, melty Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and just the right amount of dressing. The cannolo was the perfect sweet ending to the meal -- crisp shell, creamy filling, and not overly sweet. What really stood out was how friendly everyone was. The staff made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back... especially for those Thursday $5 draft beer specials. Apex locals, you've got a gem here.

    I ordered a Philly cheese steak sub on a gluten free bun. The steak, cheese, and onions were perfect. A very filling sub and they do a great job with gluten free precautions. The service is quick and always so nice!

    Fratelli's is 10/10 every time we go. There is always a line so I like to order ahead from an app. They had a special that was a chopped burger with cheese as a sub, and holy smokes it was incredible-- tasted like an In N Out burger from LA. Their egg and cheese sub sourdough and cheddar--tastes like a NYC diner, they either butter or mayo the bread and it is so good your body curls/melts into each bite and releases dopamine. My only note is they need to put napkins in the to-gos because you will need them. Big fan. Outdoor seating with kids games and a good bar with draft beer.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Deli meats and desserts
    Blair K.

    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.

    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.

    Cannoli
    Rosa L.

    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.

    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.

    Had a great experience here. From the service, food and drink, to the relaxing covered patio out…read morefront. Every single employee in here was smiling and friendly in a genuine way. Made our first trip to any La Farm a pleasurable experience. Their outdoor covered patio is great! And enjoying fresh bakery items with perfectly made coffees at this comfy patio just rounded out a great breakfast all around. When we're in the area again, we'll be sure to stop by and enjoy it all again.

    I was here last last Sunday and had a great experience...fast, polite service, beautifully…read morepresented food and nice ambiance. Today, not so much. Ironically, I went here because I rarely get out to eat and the service has always been consistent. 1. There was no one at the cash register and an employee who was just about to go on break took my order. He was polite enough but I found out later that he put in the wrong order. 2. There were no tables that I saw that were wiped off. Some had the dishes removed but I needed to wipe off a table. 3. A cockroach scrambled across the floor near my table to the left of the coffee station. I wish I was joking, or seeing things but I wasn't the only person who saw it. One of the female employees went toward it and stepped on it but since it was headed toward my table, I moved. 4. It was really hot in there. Maybe not AC completely broken hot, but AC on the struggle bus hot. There was a large fan in the back dining room that wasn't doing much of anything except redistributing humidity. 5. I ordered an avocado toast with bacon and got delivered a grilled cheese sandwich. The server took it back but then I needed to ask for the bacon. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture because the same dish on Sunday was so elaborate and beautifully presented and the same order today was just meh. Not a good value for the price. I will say the server correcting someone else's mistake was clearly overwhelmed but doing her best. She was also the cockroach killer. I ate my lunch and read my book. My intention had been to linger a while and read but I decided to leave. The place was about 1/4 full when I left but all the tables still had crumbs, food debris and water on them made it too unpleasant to stick around. Very disappointing. I don't see myself going back any time soon. I do love their bread but I'm sure I can find someplace more pleasant or go to the downtown location instead.
