My partner, his family, and I came to Fratelli's to celebrate his mom's birthday, and we had a great experience. Since it was a Monday evening, it was nice and quiet, and we were able to choose where we wanted to sit. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food was delicious. I ordered the Aglio e Olio pizza with added chicken, and it was excellent. We started with the bread balls, which were a great appetizer. For dessert, the birthday girl got to choose something from the dessert menu and picked the cannolis, which we all shared and enjoyed. I also had the white wine sangria, and it was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful dinner with great food, drinks, and service. I will definitely be back! read more

SUCH A FIND! My husband had been wanting to try this place out for a while after smelling it walking by and we were so blown away by the pizza! I got a pickle pizza and he got the pesto. Service was great and we loved having the hockey game on while we hung out. Crust is soft but still crusty and the ingredients are super fresh. I love how many options of sauces and toppings there are to customize. The menu all looks great and we absolutely will make this a regular stop for pizza. read more

Restaurant Name: Fratelli's Dish: spaghetti Presentation - 8/10 My coworker said that the look of it would have you second guessing however the look is what gets you The taste that's a different story Taste & Flavor - 13/10 The spaghetti and pizza are phenomenal by far my second favorite pizza place I've ever tried the spaghetti I've been buying a to-go order for the last 4 days and I could probably live off of they give you a massive slice of garlic bread a great size dish of spaghetti and a good amount of Parmesan cheese Standout ingredients: The sauce is phenomenal I don't know what kind of sauce they use on their spaghetti but it is by far the best spaghetti sauce I've probably ever had minus the homemade stuff it is by far a taste worth trying Portion Size - 10/10 For the size that you purchase it is well worth the price it has you filled up in the beginning half of the day and wanting more at the end of the day Value for Money - 10/10 For everything you get with the spaghetti it is by far a steal when it comes to price Overall Rating: 15/10 Final Verdict- This restaurant is by far a steel when it comes to prices The food is phenomenal I will be returning and even doing mobile orders as I work out in the area. If I could eat here consistently when it comes to spaghetti I would and I'm not even a huge spaghetti person but it has me wanting more every time I eat it. I highly recommend giving this place a try The presentation may not be phenomenal but the food is. read more

Nice happy hour menu. The chicken wings were fantastic with the sweet slight kick of heat. The bruschetta was served with slices of toasted baguette and the tomato topping in a bowl for you to place on baguettes. This way the baguette doesn't get soggy. A twist in their antipasto salad. Pay Public parking lots and parking meters on street nearby. read more

The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Our drinks were also a highlight: well-balanced, thoughtfully made, and enjoyable. The food was fine but uneven. While the pizza toppings were flavorful and well done, the crust didn't quite live up to the rest and tasted flat and def not made in house. The meatballs were good, though (again with the bread) the crostini lacked flavor and added nothing... Overall, the experience was enjoyable thanks to the service and drinks. With a bit more attention to the bread and crust, this would easily be a go-to spot. read more

Is fratellis underrated?? First time here and went for their restaurant week menu because it seemed like a great way to try a good bit of the menu for a good price and let me tell you- you definitely get your moneys worth with this. We started with the calamari and meatballs. The calamari was just ok. It was good but nothing to remember. The meatballs were huge (5 in the portion!) and "meaty." They don't taste like a bunch of filler ingredients were added to bulk it up. The sauce was also very delicious, a little bit sweet too. For entrees, you can pick nearly anything from the menu so that was really cool. Sometimes restaurant week menus are very limiting. We got the pesto amore pasta which was so light and creamy. It was a massive portion. We took a whole extra portion home. The POB pizza - wow. My favorite. The pepperoni was so crisp and good but the dough has a hint of sweetness that really wins the dish. For dessert, there are 3 options. We got tiramisu which had a very nice coffee flavor and the limoncello cake which was the perfect amount of tart and sweet. Service was quick, we were in and out within 45 minutes. read more

I'm not sure how this place stays afloat when their prices are so low!!! I was AMAZED at the value I received. I stopped by on a weekday and took a seat at the bar. There were about three tables seated but it got busier with time. The bartender was quick to help. I told her I was there for the meatballs. So she put that in for me and showed me the happy hour menu. Wow! Happy hour! And it goes til 8!!!! Crazy. I got the garlic bread balls $7 and the Calabrian wings $7 as well. It was a lot of food!!! The arrabiata meatballs $11 (not on happy hour) came with six and a ton of cheese and sauce. So yum. My favorite thing was the pizza sauce with the bread bites though. It's so good. I had a $6 happy hour "you call it" but I had to ask what that meant first. The bartender said basically a simple alcohol plus mixer like gin and tonic or rum and coke etc, so I asked for local gin on ice. She gave me a generous pour and I was set. My wings took longer than the other items so I thought maybe she forgot? I inquired and it still took a bit. It's a popular item but maybe someone else got mine out of order. Anyhow- the bartender comped it off my bill because of the wait. I did not expect that. That is service! I boxes up my meatballs, wings and bread bites because I could not finish it all. The bartender was awesome. When I sat down I asked about paid parking v free parking as I was worried about getting a ticket or being towed. She was quick to check on me and easy to talk to. Kudos! The clientele are friendly. A younger gal sat near me with her newborn and had a snack and a drink and we pretty much talked for an hour. She said the espresso martini is fantastic and chowed down on the mozzarella sticks. Apparently they're a popular item and they're handmade on site. The pizza window next door is there by the slice option, which I heard gets super busy late night. Not all pizzas are offered at the window so the fancier pies are only in the restaurant. Good info. The prices here are far below market and their happy hour is legit. They could be making a killing but instead, they price reasonably and give you a lot of value for your money. I would recommend this place. Happy hour is good! Food is great! Street parking can be tricky. Bathrooms are clean. Everyone is nice. Check them out. read more

The pizzas are out of this world, every crust made in house, beer on tap, pizza by the slice, and subs that are awesome! It's only got room for about 6 people to eat, this is mainly a take out joint! To me, the crust, and the sauce make for the best pizza in town! Excellent service and fast! read more

We went on trivia night (Wednesday 7pm & 8pm) and it was so fun! I got the salted caramel espresso martini and it was by far the best espresso martini in Grand Rapids!!!! Service was really great, friendly staff. And it was such a great space for trivia or nice meal out :) read more

We finished an event in the downtown area at a later hour and needed to grab some dinner. Thankfully this pocket of restaurants were open late and we decided on Fratelli's since Italian food is a crowd pleaser. Loved the mussels and Calabrian shrimp, and the drinks (cocktails) are made really well and balanced. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us some nice food recs. Glad we gave this place a try and will be back again! read more

Me and My mom went here for a girls day and maybe we don't have the proper taste buds But the red sauce was for lack of better words gross and not to mention we spent $80+ bucks and that was for a kids meal and 2 drinks and happy hour appetizers the drinks were decent but food was gross service was okay and our waitress was kind enough to offer for me to swap my meal out for pizza instead which was the best thing on the menu would not recommend read more

Diavolo pizza and frat fries were delicious! Server was very kind! Will come here again.

My husband and I went to Fratelli's because I'm always interested in a good Sunday brunch and Bloody Mary. However, when we got there, we noticed some of the other food guests were having and we decided to forgo the breakfast altogether. Sometimes he and I are more drawn to the appetizers, so we got a couple to share, thinking that we would order a meal if we wanted more. We never got that far. We started with drinks and got the meatballs and garlic balls. First, the meatballs were HUGE, just like the Italians like 'em. They were spicy, and the sauce was on the sweet side. Normally, I don't care for sweet sauce, but because the meat was spicy, the sauce was a perfect balance. There was mozzarella draped over the top, and to make sure you didn't miss a drop, you could wipe up every last drop with the crostini. The garlic balls were tiny nuggets of dough with melted garlic butter and Parmesan cheese that you could dip into marinara. This was my favorite item. I took those nuggets and swiped them in the bottom of the bowl to get the remaining garlic butter. YUM! Because these were appetizers, they were only $7! Did I forget to mention that the mimosas and the Bloodies were also only $5 each? I can't forget about the scenery and the service. The restaurant was a small space with a full bar, casual, and full of old world style. There were only a couple of people working, but they were capable and friendly, and the server made recommendations and put up with my talkative husband. I met the manager and all-in-all, I felt welcomed like I had been invited to dinner at a local family's house in small town Italy. read more

Excellent service and good. We had great appetizer in the meat balls and everyone loved their food.

Fratelli's never disappoints! The BYO pasta is something I rate as crave worthy, and the mozzarella sticks are INSANE! We love to just sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders who are always attentive. Everything has a casual feel, but also worthy of a special occasion. read more

The last time I had Fratelli's was on a whim while waiting 3 hours for a table at Butcher's Union a year or two ago. My husband and I were starving and we ordered a carnivore pizza of some type and devoured the whole thing! I remember enjoying that more than our meal at Butcher's Union that night. Today, we thought we would give dine-in a try. On Sunday's happy hour lasts all day long, so I imbibed with a $5 sangria and the hubby got a $2 PBR. The kids enjoyed their pizza with an addition of fries for $8. They cleaned their plates (a rarity for them). I enjoyed the fresh cáprese salad with a twist. It had an addition of arugula, Kalmata olives and avocado to the classic tomato, mozzarella and basil. It also came with two toasted pieces of bread to stack the goodness on. Since I adore all those ingredients, I was happy as a clam. I also tried the fig pizza which was a fig spread, goat cheese, caramelized onion, pancetta, arugula, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. I liked the first bite, but it quickly became too sweet for my pallet. It needed something acidic and maybe a slight heat to cut the glucose heavy pie. The hubby had the Calabrian wings and said the sauce tasted like a mixture of pizza sauce with sweet chili and Parmesan powder cheese blended together and poured over the wings. He ate it all up, but said it didn't taste like the traditional recipe. They have a fairly diverse menu of apps, pizza, pasta, burgers and sandwiches. They even have a few desserts as well as a full bar. The wait staff was friendly and helpful and even expedited our order because a huge group of 30 or so people were about to order and they didn't want our kids to wait too long. Very thoughtful! Definitely check out Fratelli's if you're in the area. It's worth it as a destination or as a back up plan if your resy at Gin Gin's or Butcher's Union falls through. read more

Let's start with Sarah and Craig at the bar. Great team, complement each other very well. Great service. The restaurant is classic American -Italian in food and decor. Now for the food. Ok, it is an Italian joint and the meatballs were good, the spaghetti was outstanding (served with a spoon thank you very much), the wife had a chicken wrap she loved and reports the shrimp app was very good. As good as all that was, they made some kind of thin sliced potato side for the wife's wrap and holy hell are those things good. Seriously stopped this Irish boy in his tracks they were so good. Could not have had a better dinner! read more

My friends and I visited for lunch. When we arrived, we were the only ones there. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and meatballs. I thought the pizza was a bit too heavy on the sauce and not enough cheese. Towards the end of a slice, there wasn't enough cheese to sauce ratio. I enjoyed the meatballs - though I wish the bread provided was a bit softer to soak up the sauce. read more

Over the Memorial Day weekend I was in town visiting my cousin and her boyfriend. While he was at work that Friday, me and my cousin went into town for lunch. We initially had another place in mind but they did not open till 4:00. I was looking around to see where we can go and pointed to this place across the street and my cousin without hesitation said yes! She told me she never dined in the bar area but had their pizza as carryout from next door and had nothing but good things to say. We were the only 2 inside so they're must've just opened so we ordered a drink while going over the menu. We went with a "14 Hawaiian pizza with bacon and my cousin was right, it was a very good pizza. It was hand tossed crust that kind of gave you almost thin crust vibes. The sauce was good and didn't skimp on it, plenty of toppings and reheated well the next day in the air fryer. I told my cousin that we are coming back to this place when I come back in September! read more

Was refused service at 7pm on a Saturday because my child was "old enough to walk". Completely absurd for a bar AND kitchen.

Great food and atmosphere! Our waitress Julie hooked us up- ask for her ;) happy hour breadsticks are amazing- pesto pasta and the Matty all delectable! read more

So we stopped here cause it sounded good and omg the meatballs were awesome and you get 5 huge meatballs with lots of sauce. Then also had the lasagna and it wasn't small it was a really good size. Our bartender was really nice and made good drinks. We will definitely be back read more

I've only ever had takeout but their pizza is pretty good. They have a nice hand tossed crust that's crispy and doughy. The toppings were all really fresh and their red sauce wasn't too sweet. It's one of our regular pizza places. They deliver pretty quick as well and the pizza travels well. read more

One of our favorite places to go. Their meatball sauce is amazing. Matty is the server you want. Place is weirdly empty all the time. Sad for them but means you don't have to wait for a table! read more

Visited this place on a recommendation by Sicilian co-worker while visiting the area for work. Restaurant only had only one waitress working so service was slow but she was great. Ordered eggplant salad, diavolo pizza, and wings and it took a little while to come out. Wings were good, salad was fresh and tasted even better, the pizza tasted good but it was little too salty and the crusts were cold. Overall the waitress made the experience worth it and I would visit this place again to try different items on the menu if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Easily the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. I was looking for a dessert on bridge street and came across this hole in the wall. When I walked in I was greeted with one other person in the whole restaurant and an overwhelming smell of rotten garbage as we sat at the bar. The manager and wait staff asked us what we would like to eat four times in our first five minutes, after stating that we just needed a couple of minutes to look over the menu. We moved away from the bar and over to a table because the smell of garbage was too strong. My boyfriend and I ordered arancini and tiramisu. I am not a picky eater in the slightest and I am typically such a fan, but the flavor of the arancini was horrible. I couldn't even eat more than one bite. The waitress notified us that the tiramisu was still being prepared which is a big red flag because this meant that it was frozen and was not yet de thawed. As it was delivered to our table, I was dying to get some food in my system, but the fork couldn't even penetrate the thick layer of ice still in the dessert Now remember how the wait staff wouldn't leave us alone when we first sat down? It took 20+ minutes for anyone to come over to our table and at this point we were the only ones in there. They ended up refunding the tiramisu but we still had to pay for the arancini despite taking a bite and leaving the rest on the table. I don't know if it was an off night but I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Food was phenomenal! Best pasta we've eaten in Grand Rapids. We will definitely be back.

I want to give this place a higher rating. I think it has potential. The staff seem friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The arancini was kind of meh not a lot of flavor. The pizza crust was hard to bite through and again I just felt it wasn't special in the flavors. I suggest they pair the menu down to focus on making good pizza and offering a few sides. With everyone having to charge more for food, I feel we have to be pickier about where we will eat out and our $65 bill didn't really stand up to the quality we got. read more

Came in to try the pizza as a coworker said it was absolutely incredible, I ordered the pizza with vegan cheese on it, tomato sauce, basil and roasted garlic, the pizza was okay. My fiancé ordered the Margherita pizza which was good but nothing extraordinary. It's great that the pizzas are fresh but I came in with super high expectations of flavor wise. The pizzas were lacking a little bit of salt and depth of flavor honestly but all in all they were fresh and good. I will say the service was wonderful and the place was filled with people celebrating a birthday. It seems like a good spot to get together with friends as well read more

First the good stuff. We went for trivia and the game was fun. Our waitress Aubrey was delightful and entertaining. We had the house specialty wings as a starter. No clue what the sauce was. One bite it was interesting, the next gross and if dipped in enough ranch good. We then had the recommended pizza. Not great. It tasted a lot like a frozen pizza. Overall, the only reason we may return is to spend our gift card from trivia (we won, no big deal). Ps. This place is ranch certified read more

I saw Fratelli's new location was open and my boyfriend and I stopped in to grab a drink and a snack one afternoon. The space is cozy with a large bar. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple beers, the Calabrian wings, and some frat fries. The bartender was friendly and kept our glasses filled throughout our visit. The food came out pretty quickly and I was impressed with the other dishes I saw. The pizza looks great and I definitely want to try that next time. The wings were crispy with the perfect amount of sweet and spicy sauce. We both loved them and would get them again. The frat fries were cool because they're flat spears, just a different cut than what you usually see. They were seasoned really well with some herbs and plenty of salt and pepper. I would get them again and would like to try some other things soon. A nice stop on Bridge Street that's different than the other places in the area. read more

Great food and our waitress Becca was fabulous and awesome. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another solid addition to the growing West Side. It was refreshing to walk in and have a table right away, rather than the usual wait times on this street. We started with the Calabrian Wings, which were very tasty and had the perfect amount of kick. My wife enjoyed them so much that she ordered the Calabrian Sandwich and loved that as well. Our friends shared the 14" POB pizza and thought it was very good. I had the 10" Amico Pizza and enjoyed it. My pizza was a little heavy on the toppings but it was still tasty. I would probably try something else my next visit. The atmosphere is casual with large TVs but the dishes are definitely above average. The presentation of the wings and sandwich are higher end than a typical pizza joint. The pizza is still coming from their kitchen next door but the quality is still there. The Nutella Pizza was fantastic and definitely a hit with all of us. The size was perfect and each person could enjoy 2 slices. We will definitely be back! read more
