Good first experience with cocktails at the bar, dinner in a cozy booth, and live music all evening. The drinks and tasty gluten free breadsticks were highlights for me. For dinner, I tried the pan-seared salmon with maple balsamic glaze over roasted vegetable risotto. I enjoyed both but their flavor profiles clashed on the same plate. Wish they stayed open a little later than 9 pm on a Thursday. I would definitely revisit and try a gluten-free pizza next time. read more

We visited Fratello's for a family dinner. The amora was intoxicating upon entering the lobby. The decor was fairly typical for an Italian restaurant. We were shown to our table without much wait. Our server introduced himself immediately and was initially very attentive. Our orders were taken politely and efficiently. The 2 children's meal came to the table very quickly- any parent appreciates this. The problem came up in that the rest of the table waited almost an hour for the rest of our meals. No reason pasta should ever take this long. Once delivered, the food was quite good. Not sure what the issue was with the kitchen, but it definitely took away from our enjoyment of the experience as a whole. read more

Came here as first timers and left as huge fans. The ambiance is gorgeous, to start! Perfect place for a romantic dinner! Our waiter was the perfect blend of personable and attentive all while not ever being too much. We would ask for him again and again! Everything was perfect from the bread to the desserts. We both got house salads and the Parmesan peppercorn dressing was A+. For dinner we had chicken parm w angel hair and chicken primavera - finished off with pistachio gelato and the peanut butter pie! Just incredible! This was the best Italian of our lives. Forget the North End. Come to Fratello's!! read more

Fratello's has been a a favorite dining location of mine for nearly 20 years! I love the atmosphere, food, drinks & service. They have an awesome menu with plenty of good appetizer or Italian entree selections.... Just check out the menu. Everything is reasonably priced. I had my usual Manhattan & then went with the Wedge salad and steak tips medium rare....Awesome! This is a great family dining location or just a great place to wind down after work for a drink, app and some easy listening live music. For an enjoyable dining experience give Fratello's a try & Enjoy! read more

My husband and I made a road trip to New Hampshire from Florida in October. Fratello's was the dining highlight of our 3 week trip. I had the best dish I have ever eaten. It was the butternut squash ravioli with apples in a fantastic cream sauce. I couldn't stop raving about it. I would love to have that recipe since I know I can never return. If you're in the area you would not be disappointed to try Fratello's read more

Wow!!! The food at Fratello's was amazing. There was not a bad bite of food on the table. We ordered the mussels, escargot, and arancini for appetizers for the family. They were all great and decent portion sizes. I ordered the tagliatelle Bolognese; the flavor was spot on. The meatballs were some of the best that I have had out. My wife and daughter had the chicken parmesan. It was tasty. The fettuccine Alfredo had great flavor (I find that most alfredo is pretty flavorless out to eat). The server was very attentive and personable. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed. The food, of course, was a little pricier, but the quality of it and the amount of food was well worth it. If you get a chance, definitely try it. You won't be sorry. read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but the food unfortunately was not good. There was a hair in one our appetizers and we left immediately after. The service was slow as well and our server did not seem happy to be there. She seemed to forget about us and our allergy. The drinks were good and the bar was the only table with customers which made sense. read more

2 couples out for an early date on a Monday eve. We chose to sit in the bar upstairs where we were treated to great food, Drinks, and service. Of particular note - the old fashioned and Cosmopolitan were very good. For food, we enjoyed stuffed haddock, Fratellos Pizza, and lasagna. Everyone was pleased with their choices. We'll definitely add this to the rotation. read more

My fav restaurant in Manchester. Never lets me down. The quality of the food in my opinion is five star. The quality of the service all the servers give is also five star. Dined on the patio this summer as well as inside the restaurant, and as always, the experience was absolutely wonderful. read more

We had an excellent meal. The salad was fresh and the pizza was fantastic. We had a waiter in training,Brendon, and he did a great job! After our meal we were visited by the manager Mathew. He was fun and engaging. He was truly a blessing to the restaurant. They had live entertainment which was very fun to listen to. We will be back soon. read more

Visited Fratello's a few nights ago while on vacation with my family after seeing the positive reviews. The ambiance was nice, and the live music was a great touch. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing and did not reflect authentic Italian cuisine. Service was also extremely slow--we spent nearly two hours waiting for our courses. Overall, this restaurant needs both a stronger kitchen and more staff. I would not recommend it. read more

Had a family dinner last night at Fratello's. They were super busy, but I have to say the two girls at the front hostess stand were about as opposite of welcoming and warm for greeting customers. This was our first time here and I still can't get over how rude those girls were. First impressions should mean everything to a business. Such a turn off for customers. The tone and flat out abrupt rudeness was very disappointing. They should be fired or removed from this duty. I don't know that we'll try it again. The only saving grace was the fantastic service from an experienced waitress. The hostesses need an attitude check, for sure. read more

Incredibly good food! I loved the bread. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

A fun night with a great friend, delicious food and nice live music. I started with a nice Pinot Noir, Craggy Range, from New Zealand. My first Pinot from New Zealand and I am a fan! The tomato butter for the bread was amazing. We heard stories of our friend kids fighting over it when they were young. I can see why. The seafood pasta looked amazing. I went for the Veal piccata. Very tender and full of flavor. The filet was cooked to perfection. Our server was extremely diligent and mad our night better. read more

Food was decent. One of the slower bars I've been to. Nice people but certainly no sense of urgency. I think other agree. read more

Extremely disappointed! The price of the meal did NOT meet overall value. The service was good, the atmosphere was okay as it's located in an old mill building with exposed brick walls and warm lighting, but the food was not great. My Chicken Primavera was soupy and had very fatty, gristled chicken. My husband ordered a special menu item Steak Au Poivre which was a tiny piece of bacon wrapped filet, a few strands of asparagus and a potato cake for $54! We did order a few drinks but after those entrees when I saw the bill, I asked "You've got to be kidding me?!" Serve better quality if you're charging prices like that per entree! read more

Me, Ben, James and Molly all went here for dinner on a Tuesday evening. The weather was wonderful so we sat outside on the deck and had a great time. We shared the clams and a bottle of Mondavi, Cab Sav. The shareable bread was really good and fresh/hot right from the oven. I had the Seafood Sofia which James recommended and it was very good. Everyone ordered something different and all were pleased. Our server was nice and professional and overall it was a great experience as everyone seemed to enjoy everything. read more

A lovely dining experience in the mills of Manchester. Pros: + Nice music upstairs on a Saturday night, though the acoustics were mixed / a bit hard to hear + Well priced food, ~$15-20 for a main dish and $8 for desserts + Friendly service + Delicious breadsticks + A nice option to get things like risotto and vegetables as side dishes - somewhat hidden, but a good way to fill out your meal especially if you're splitting things as we were Con: - When I called earlier on Saturday, I was told they didn't take reservations on Fri and Sat but we could call ahead to get onto the wait list - but when I called back that evening, I was told there were also no call-aheads on Fri-Sat-Sun. That's a fine policy but it's pretty frustrating to be told two things just a few hours apart, and we ended up waiting 40 mins to be seated. - It's minor but parking here is so annoying, the parking lot has 1000 speed bumps and parking on a weekend can mean being quite far away read more

Met friends there for dinner last weekend, first time going. Though our waitress was wonderful, service was slow, took 45 minutes for food to come out and the one pizza that was ordered came out cold even though entrees were hot. Clearly had been sitting. That all being said, all of the food was excellent, from apps to dessert. Portions are huge. Great drink menu and cool environment. Overall a fan. read more

Food: I got a mushroom ravioli dish that was on special. It was well made and they didn't overdo the mushroom like some places do. I also loved the different butter/oil options that come with the bread. Service: They were very busy so the wait staff was constantly on the move. It made it a bit difficult to catch someone's attention but they did check on the table once or twice Ambience: This place was crazy busy and somewhat loud. The booth was comfortable and spacey. read more

Great service Had Seafood Sophia, very nice portions of mussels, scallops, shrimp & lobster in a sherry cream sauce with bowtie pasta & mushrooms...very good Love the sausage soup, hard to find in restaurants nowadays Very spacious restaurant, never felt crowded by others even though it was busy on Thursday evening Very large menu with plenty of choices Would definitely come again, outdoor seating looked great read more

We dined 9/22/24 and were very disappointed with the quality of food as it was VERY bland. Our server Spencer was great, probably the only good thing here! We tried sending back all of the food but only our drinks were taken off even with 90% of our food left on the plates. read more

Service was excellent and ambiance was ok for our booking. We were a large party and the wait staff were attentive and accurate. Food was very disappointing. One member of our party was pleased with her shrimp scampi. Those of us who ordered veal were very dissatisfied. The veal was thick and unappetizing. One order was not correct and could not be replaced as they ran out of veal. (In an Italian restaurant on Tuesday). My wine was satisfactory. I was disappointed and will not retur read more

Our second visit, both dinners were very good. First I had a daily special, oversized pork chop that was cooked perfectly - memorable. Last night we sat at the bar. Started with a limonchello spritzer & a martini ( best dirty ice ever, no melt - full strength extra splash). The mussels were excellent, not overcooked in Rich butter garlic sauce, the fried mozzarella was OK, sauce could be Better. The fettuccine was also good, Northender was very good, we both have half for lunch tomorrow. Our bartender was attentive, and helpful. The place was pretty busy but not too noisy and live music quite good. Prices were reasonable, they don't take reservations except for large parties, so you may have a small wait time. Clean interior, brick wall & beams add charm. We will be back. read more

We definitely enjoyed our entire dining experience here. You have to pay for parking (typical for that area) unless you take chance for one of the business spaces and park there assuming they are gone for the day. We were seated promptly as we were able to reserve our table of 4 an hour before our intended time. The waitress was very prompt. Wine list has plenty of options. My only complaint was no written menu for beer options. I know it changes frequently but other restaurants do this. Server brought out bread which was warm, fresh and tasted fantastic. A separate basket of gluten free bread was also brought for my wife. . I had the northender pasta dish which was excellent. They have gluten feee options and knowledge of ingredients which made my wife happy. Portion sizes were very good. We all left with a doggie bag of leftovers. We finished with excellent desserts. Go for the mud pie. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will visit again when I am in town. read more

Had an ok meal last night. A few suggestions. Get rid of the bread sticks. They give you a nice selection oil and flavored butter, but the bread sticks in my opinion are not worth the calories. Nice crusty bread would be a better option. They serve the pasta with the sauce, added to the top most Italian restaurants today. Heat the sauce and toss the pasta in it. This step would make a big difference. Value can't complain about the prices, the drinks are good and wine list is nice, the deck is a great place to eat read more

LOVE this place. The ambiance is fantastic, food is delicious, portion sizes are ample, and price is reasonable.

Food was great. We had a vegan, a celiac vegetarian, and a picky 6 year old in our party and we all liked our meals. We really appreciate being able to have a nice meal with our various diets. The 3 vegan meals are clearly marked on a separate gluten free menu. The children's menu came with wickysticks, crayons, and an activity placemat. The waitress was knowledgeable and provided excellent service even with it being a very busy night. Our food was prompt and hot despite there being a large private party in the back. Hostess was nice, waiting area was comfortable, and booth was comfortable. We would definitely dine here again. read more
