The ambiance alone makes it…read moreworth visiting--live music, a cozy yet energetic bar area, and a fun, festive vibe that sets the mood for the entire evening. The bar is known around town for their martinis, and they definitely live up to the hype. We started with cocktails and appetizers, and everything exceeded expectations. The garlic shrimp cooked in Chardonnay wine and served over crostini was rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. The Blue Point oysters were fresh, briny, and beautifully served--simple, high-quality, and delicious. For entrées, the Norwegian grilled salmon was perfectly cooked and paired with a vibrant tomato basil sauce that complemented it beautifully. The chicken cardinale was hearty and comforting, with red sauce, mushrooms, eggplant, and toasted peppers all coming together in a classic Italian dish done right. Add in super friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, and Fratello's becomes the kind of place you come back to--for the food, the drinks, and the vibe. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

We started with the rice balls as an appetizer, and they were absolutely outstanding. The very first bite instantly brought me back to my Nonna's kitchen. ~ the same comforting, authentic flavor I remember growing up. It's the first time I've had rice balls in a restaurant that truly tasted like hers. Our waiter, Riccardo, was attentive, informative, and incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. The food was fantastic. My husband had the Sunday Sauce and said it was outstanding, and I had the Cavatelli and Broccoli, cooked to perfection! Everything about the evening exceeded our expectations. Do yourself a favor and order the rice balls ~ you won't regret it. If you're looking for authentic Italian, that taste like it came straight from a Nonna's kitchen, this is your place. We will definitely be back!
