   First of all, we were really happy with our choice to have Easter lunch at Fratelli. There wasn't a special "brunch" menu, but the food was excellent, and we had exceptional service. There were very few people there when we arrived but even as the crowd grew, our service didn't suffer, and while there were a few hiccups, I would definitely return. The biggest complaint I would have had was that nowhere on the Open Table listing for this restaurant, and nowhere on their website, does it say that this restaurant is BYOB. While no one in our party wanted to order wine, I think it's VERY important that they be upfront about this limitation. Yes, you can walk down the street to a wine store and buy a bottle to bring to the restaurant, but no cocktails or beer are served, and they need to be upfront about that. Would I have picked a different restaurant if I'd known this ahead of time? Yes. So I can see why they don't mention it, but it feels like a purposeful oversight. Instead, they should work with the wine store down the street and sponsor each other as a way to increase interest in both locations. Put the name of that wine store on their listing, and vice versa. The only other hiccup was that the process of paying the bill went so fast that I didn't get a chance to add a tip to the total. We had very little cash on us so I feel like we dissed the waiter, who deserved more. They were also out of one dessert and coffee by the time we ordered at the end, which was odd. But again, we would go back as the food was really quite excellent and we loved the location.

   Expensive for plate only kind of meal. No bread for free. No suggestions for apps, drinks, or even dessert. Overpriced

   This place has such promise but it appears that the excellence of their other shops doesn't translate to this location. No ownership or management presence. Long waits, items out of stock, no beverage service. Just kind of a mess. Most of the food was good if not as excellent as you might hope from other experiences at their sandwich shops.

   Food was great, one of the worst service I have experienced in my life. Sat down for 20 minutes while the two servers on the floor just ignored us. Then when we finally called their attention to no one having brought menus, they dropped off menus, forgot the appetizer we ordered, never refilled waters or checked to ask how food was. Felt extremely discriminated, just because we are a young couple with tattoos doesn't mean we don't have the money. We are artists and influencers with over 200k social media following.

   Food was excellent, service was great. They do not serve alcohol. You need to bring your own adult beverages. .

    This was our 2nd time here, we came again because we really enjoyed our 1st time eventhough service was slow food was good. Unfortunately i cant say this last time was good. Service was poor, we went aroud 7:30pm and the place was empty on a friday night, main dishes took over 45min, and since the place does not offer beer/cocktails, nor bread service, wait seemed to be longer. I ordered the spicy rigattoni with meatballs, it was below average, meatballs were dry and super salty. My husband ordered Spaghetti Nero a la vongole + shrimp, it was flavorless, dry, the shrimp was rubbery the only ok part was the clams. The server dropped the dishes and did not offer more chessee or even asked if we needed something else. We did not finish our meal and asked for the check. This place has potencial but we wont be going again.
