We had a really good experience overall. I ordered the Hernando shrimp appetizer, and it was excellent. I also got a salad with just cheese, and honestly, it was amazing. Simple but really well done. My husband had the chicken fingers and onion rings, and both were fresh and tasted great. The only downside was that we weren't able to sit outside because of a private party, which was a little disappointing. Our waitress Martha was wonderful. We'll definitely be back read more

Our last visit for lunch was mediocre at best. Service was extremely slow. Then the pizza my wife ordered was over cooked and barely edible. The server said the reason for the slow service was that a large party was slowing the kitchen down. Then she asked "what can I do for you?". She could barely hide her eye roll. No way we were going to wait another 40 minutes for a replacement. Thought about asking for a refund on the pizza. But instead, we paid our bill, included a tip, and will never return. read more

There's a reason this place's ratings are what they are! I contacted them with an issue, and they basically told me to deal with it! Would not recommend them to a homeless person if the meal was free. read more

Fratello’s Italian Steakhouse - A message with the business. - Italian Near Me - Hernando, Mississippi

All the food was good, burgers are my go to but all people in our party of 7 loved their food. We will return on a regular basis as very few good options in Hernando, MS. read more

My friends and I came to celebrate Mother's Day and even made a reservation. The immediate climate was that we were unwelcome in this establishment. We sat on the patio with another family and we were the only two parties outside. This party was a walk-in and were served beverages and acknowledged while we who made a reservation were made to wait and no one would make eye contact with us. Finally, a server showed up, no introduction just asking "what do you want to drink". The immediate tone from her voice and body language conveyed that she did not want to serve us. She brought drinks and then asked for our order but, we continued to feel uneasy and unwelcome in the restaurant. We paid for our drinks and left. Treatment speaks volumes and to say we were treated less than kind ins an understatement. We will never patronize this establishment again. read more

If I could put 0 I would. Waited 3 hours for the most mediocre food ever that wasn't even hot, server maybe came up to us twice that entire time. I do not recommend at all it was a horrible experience. read more

Service was awful. We were seated very quickly and waited for 20 minutes for drinks. We ordered as soon as we got our drinks. Another hour passed before we go our steaks. The steak did have good flavor, but waiting an hour and half for it was not worth it. There were several tables complaining about how long the food was taking and service. read more

We were there Saturday night and very disappointed! Ordered the prime rib sliders And was totally unhappy with the quality of the meat and service! Left without receiving a check for our drinks and meal! We did pay and left enough for the waiter who didn't serve us very well!. We will never go back as it was the second time we have tried it and been very disappointed! You're asking for reviews and not taking the advice of your customers! read more

Food was good, service was excellent, had a small mess up in kitchen on my appetizer, not sure who to blame but it came out well after my meal read more

Food took forever. The food was awful. It was terribly expensive. Valentine dinner was a huge bust. Not very busy, so that was not the reason. Other customers were verbally complaining too. Do NOT waste your time and money here. read more

Had someone bring me my food i think her name was gia. She was rude and did not wait for me to ask for ranch. I will not be coming back here ever! Do not waste your time on a place who wont serve you in the right way! read more

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Me and my lady had a reservation for 6:00 didn't get seated until 7 didn't receive our drink that wasn't correct until 7:40. They even ran out of lobster bisque and told us we HAD to eat the other option or we would still be charged due to them having a "special Valentine's menu" Finally got our appetizer around 7:50 which was cold. Fratello's definitely ruined Valentine's Day. read more

If it could be 0 stars it would be. HORRIBLE NIGHT. "Valentine's Day special" and we were not told before making a reservation! We got there and had 6 dishes to choose from for $150!! We ordered everything with drinks and still took 45 mins for SALAD! Total was 2 hours and we took our desert to go!! The waiter maybe talked to us twice!! Multiple people were complaining and asking for money back! TERRIBLE experience DO NOT GO HERE! read more

The food is amazing here I think I have had everything on the menu and Chef Terry knows his stuff There is something on the menu for everyone I have seen some reviews on here that complain about this or that Remember We don't live in a perfect world and the people that work here are very customer service driven and they care. If something doesn't come out of the kitchen right say something and they will fix it don't wait a week and then post a negative review read more

Gave this place a second chance a few months later,... glad I did! Food was absolutely perfect. Sweet potatoes weren't runny, burger was cooked to perfection, and my son's lasagna looked amazing! Great service. Great atmosphere. read more

Fratello’s Italian Steakhouse - Italian Near Me - Hernando, Mississippi

We have driven by multiple times before, but decided to stop by for an early anniversary dinner (so glad we did). We went around 3 so it was an odd time and not very busy yet. The staff was knowledgeable on the menu, friendly, and had wonderful recommendations. The owner stopped by after our meal and made sure that everything was perfect. All of the food was hot and absolutely delicious! We started with the garlic cheese bread and toasted ravioli. My husband had the Ribeye (best steak I've had in a LONG time!) and I had the lunch country fried steak with sides. For desert we had the cheesecake crème brûlée style and the banana foster. You cant go wrong with any of those choices! What little leftovers we did have were quickly demolished by our PICKY one year old when we got home. We loved how cozy the restaurant was decorated and was very intimate. We also love that they do activities different nights of the week and will definitely be back to try those! We love live music! We will absolutely be back and I think that we found our new go to in Hernando. read more

Worst restaurant in Hernando. My husband and I took out of town family members here for lunch while they were visiting (they have never been here before obviously) and it was a huge mistake. We showed up for brunch (10:45am) and we did not get our food until 12:30pm. The service is always horrible and the food doesn't match the menus description, nor is it an Italian restaurant. MOST of the waitresses there always act like the customers are inconveniencing them. They barely refill your drinks, we asked for napkins and condiments about four times before they actually brought it to us and then we waited another 30 minutes for the check. Also the restaurant is absolutely FREEZING inside, we had to go outside to warm up several times. This was a horrible introduction to what Hernando is about.... Southern hospitality. This restaurant has none. Never going back even as a local. read more

Food just barely edible. So disappointing. Took my stepmom there for her birthday along with two sisters. All four of us did not eat much because food was disappointing. Last time for us. Pricey and food inferior. Sorry! Just the truth. We have it several visits but will not return. Note: server was pleasant read more

Every thing other than our server was horrible. To start we had reservations for 7 the restaurant gave our table away and had to set up a table on a platform for us leaving us as center of attention.We order then a hour goes by we finally get our appetizer(The only good food all night). The sausage and cheese plate was amazing however the mozzarella bruschetta was absolutely horrible it was soggy and had no flavor and was downed in tomato and glaze.My fiancé ordered a ribeye and it was such a poor cut of meat that it was raw and chewy at the same time every bite was mainly fat. I ordered prime rib sliders and if someone told me this came from a fast food restaurant I would not have questioned it for it to be $30 and completely inedible in crazy.We both had some drinks he had beers I had drinks from the bar, once again I only drank the for it to not be a waste of money not bc I enjoyed the drinks they honestly tasted bad as well not to mention my fiancé was on his 3rd beer before I got my first drink. For a $200 bill and to leave disappointed and still hungry is so sad, this was our first and last time at this restaurant it was a complete waste of money. read more

Terrible. The o kg thing I enjoyed was the calamari. The chicken and dressing was dry and the vegetables had no seasoning. read more

We got the spinach dip as an appetizer and it was bland with no taste but we ate it after we covered it with salt and pepper. We ordered lobster ravioli that came out lukewarm with a white sauce that looked like flour and water mixture...gray. Very disappointed in the food. I only gave it a 2 star due to service from our waitress and she was sweet !! read more

Today we had to say goodbye to our sweet dog. On the way to the vet we stopped at Fratellos to sit on the patio and get her a hamburger. All the staff was so kind. Especially Ray. They got together to make her the best ice cream Sunday with all the toppings. And they all came out to see her enjoy it. It brought a little brightness and joy to a very hard day. Thank you to them all. Always good food here but today was above and beyond. Thank you all. read more

We did not get our food for a whole hour, got lost in the kitchen. Even one of the waiters got hurt the outside was nice and the karaoke

My server Hannah is nice good service food was mid also can't hear after the the music was played

Our second trip here, but our first trip for the breakfast buffet had all my favorites on it. Service was excellent quality of food was excellent. Highly recommend this place. almost forgot the coffee was excellent read more

I was really disappointed in our visit to Fratellos today. The food was extremely mediocre at best. Lack of fresh vegetables on the menu. Meals are definitely carb heavy. My husband had chicken fried steak and it tasted terribly. He said it tasted like pool chemicals. We actually could smell the bad smell coming from it, so he didn't eat it. We told the waitress and she told us they discounted his meal because of it. She said we're surprised to see they only took $3 off a $13 meal. He paid $10 for two sides he didn't eat all of because the meat made him feel sick. There were four of us and we still paid $70 for lunch. 3 of us had water. For what we had it was definitely not worth it. I don't think we will be back. read more

One of the Best Spots in DeSoto. The food and service is 2nd to none. From Breakfast lunch and dinner it is always a great experience. Wait staff is always fun and fast to anything you need. Owner Terry custom cut my steak and came to the table himself to check on our dinner. read more

They have great plate lunches. They also have the best burgers in Hernando. We go two or three times per week.

I made reservations for 630 on a Friday for a booth for 2. We got seated at a table. Waitress came and took our drink orders: two waters and we asked for a drink menu. She brought us a drink menu and we didn't get our waters for 15 mins. (645)We ordered our appetizer, drinks and main courses. 40 mins went by( 725) we finally got our drinks( pomegranate martini and beer). Another 20 mins for our appetizer. We'd been there for over an hour at this point. Appetizer came out at around 745. Our main food came out around 815. Food was actually good but I wouldn't waste your time with this terrible slow service. The only thing that came out fast was the check. read more

Will not go back. Meatball was raw to me. They said it was cooked medium rare, sorry I like mine a little more done. The need to ask the customer. Sent it back. Loud, was having trivia night and playing music. I personally like a quieter place. Couldn't talk to family. Just didn't enjoy this place at all. read more

We have tried it two times and I would rate both of them a one. First time we were ignored by wait staff until we had been seated over 20 minutes. Ordered spaghetti and meatball , it was lukewarm and the cheese in the shaker was moldy. Husband's food was also pretty bad. French fries were-cold steak was tough. They asked if we were done and when we said it was not good waitress asked if we wanted it boxed up to take home. Second time with friends who knew the owner. The owner sat at the bar and did not help wait staff at all. Staff was over whelmed and food took a long time to come out. Quality again was lacking. Hernando deserves better restaurants than this one. read more

Ordered Spinach artichoke dip as a starter. It was bland, and the bread they serve with it was old and stale. We both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were hot and actually pretty decent. They didn't put the bbq sauce that the menu said came on it. The fries were nasty! Barely Luke warm and chewy from sitting out so long. Server was good but i don't think we will be back. read more

Welp! I gave it a shot. Nice bartender, yet others seemed more interested in playing around than creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Stay away from the lobster raviolis...even the owner admitted they were off! Do the drive and go to a better restaurant for the $$. read more

Complete embarrassment. Took a colleague there for a business dinner and should have walked out immediately. The first table we walked past had been newly set but the tablecloth had old food on it. First clue. We sat down and immediately had to discard multiple utensils as they were filthy, as well as two of three random appetizer plates (for a party of 5) that were on the table when we were seated. The food was edible but not enjoyable. The service was lacking but not awful. She mentioned more than once that they were short staffed, and we had to ask for basic things like...plates for apps. We ordered a bottle of wine and she brought it to the table already open and glasses poured. The sausage and cheese plate was strange. The sausages looked like breakfast sausage patties, and were quite pink inside. We all had difficulty eating, much less enjoying, our meals due to the unclean state of practically everything. I just can't imagine running a restaurant like this unless it's a dive bar. read more

Very good NY Strip. Had it with the grilled shrimp and a side of asparagus, all were cooked perfectly. Very good attentive service too! Nice casual dining read more

Hate to leave a bad review for a locally owned restaurant, but times are hard for everyone so I believe in being honest. This review is strictly for the Sunday morning brunch, I can't speak for the made to order food. We decided to give this place a try for brunch. We arrived about 11AM and I really regret that I didn't personally check out the buffet B4 placing my order. That's 100% my fault. After ordering the buffet we found It tucked into a dark corner, it had been heavily picked over and you couldn't even see what you were putting on your plate as there were no lights. (Maybe it was shut down for day IDK??) Anyway, to summarize we spent $50+ for a predominately cold meal, made worse by the fact that the outside dining area was infested with flies... I mean I couldn't even eat for them being all over my plate! I finally decided to just let them have it since they seemed to be enjoying it more than me. That's saying something as I'm NOT a picky eater. Who knows maybe we just picked a bad day to try this place out. IF we ever go back and have a better experience my review will reflect that, but that may be a long time coming. read more

Went for lunch, thinking good meat entree & vegetables. It was just not good as much as we wanted it to be. No complaint about our server - she didn't cook it, service although slower than would think but in we were in no rush. Food was dry @ not much flavor & not even very hot. Won't be back ever. read more

I ordered soup and they brought me Marinara Sauce, The Portabella Mushrooms was breaded so that they were too fatty and people were smoking outside read more

We came in with a big group and had Sam as our waitress. She did a phenomenal job, along with the other staff who helped her. Our food came out quickly and everything was absolutely excellent!! I had the chicken Marsala and my fiancé had the lobster ravioli and both were super tasty! Also the bruschetta mozzarella was soooo delicious!!! Highly recommend giving this place a try!! We will definitely be back!!! read more

The artichoke dip was savory, as well as the fried cheese wedges with the marinara sauce. Our hostess and server were both polite and accommodating. This was a well rounded experience that my family and I hope to experience again. read more
