We found this place through yelp! I have a very italian family, and I'm used to earthing home cooked meals. This place was a cross between the bar, Cheers, and a 5 star traditional italian restaurant! The food was sooooo good, the prices weren't bad, and the staff was very friendly, as well as their regular patrons! I highly recommend it! Mangia! Enjoy!
Great restaurant with good oldie bands on fridays. Fun place for the locals as well as others who come to the shore. New patio this summer made it even nicer. Great veal dishes and seafood.
Fantastic food!! Chef Paco Is the best around! Never disappointed. Put the tortellini on the regular menu 😊
My wife and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We ate outside and our server Jessica was great. We will go back.
Always a friendly, fun neighborhood place with great food, drinks and specials. Last night we ate at the bar because the place was packed. The bartenders were so much fun; they made my birthday dinner a little more like a party.
Everything here was excellent. Loved the marinara sauce, such great flavor! Our server Rebecca was awesome, looking forward to the next time.
This was our fourth time here and our first time for for restaurant week. the food was amazing from start to finish. Our waitress Michelle was so awesome and such a pleasure. We will definitely be back!!
Favorite place to go to dinner down the shore...from the Buffalo shrimp to the Eggplant Rolintini.. oh but don't forget the Blueberry Pie and pumpkin ice cream! You can't go wrong!
Awesome staff... great ownership and the food is superb and with generous portions! Win Win all around!
You can't beat this place. Although it can get noisy the wait staff is great the food consistently good and drinks especially by Joe are awesome.
Great food....great service....great entertainment.....great time. Love the place.
High quality dining. Great Italian food for a fancy night out. Service is decent and the bartenders charming. The food is completely amazing, my personal favorites are the Chicken Francese, and the (lunch) Chicken Sandwich.
Superior dining experience. Exceptional service. The kindness and accommodation of the staff was top tier, the live music was just wonderful. The drinks were a little too delicious, if you know what I mean, and the food, oh dear God the food, go hungry, VERY hungry.
On Sunday, July 30 my wife gave me a 80th birthday party. I among many of my friends and family were very impressed by the service rendered by Michael and the servers Kathleen and Anna ( I believe that was their names). Their service was outstanding and the food was terrific . Hats off to Michael the manager for he at times check with us on how things were going. I've been there many a times with my wife and never have we been disappointed as to the service and food presentation. Everything was exceptional and made my birthday a most memorable occasion
We enjoyed such a wonderful meal at Fratello's that I can't wait to go back to enjoy more of their menu! I had eggplant rollitini and it just melted in my mouth a top perfectly cooked ziti with homemade sauce. Shrimp scampi and a traditional pasta dish were also a huge hit.
Our server Kim was the best! Everyone from table bus person to the owner were extremely friendly. Thank you for a truly enjoyable and delicious meal!
It had been sometime since Tom and I were at Fratello‘s because we had a not great experience bringing guests, but everybody has a bad day I guess. Last night was our seven year anniversary of when we met at Fratello’s and went back for dinner to celebrate, I have to say it was just fabulous from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Our server was great and I was happy to see my old friend Reggie there, so thank you so much for a nice evening.

Old School Local Spot from the minute you walk in the door. We like to go for a late lunch around 3:00 to be finished just before dinner time to avoid any crowds and we hit the timing perfect yesterday. We went straight to the bar and met Joe the bartender. He has been here for 28 years and from the moment we met him we were hooked. He knows the menus inside and out and knew every person who walked through the door by name. By the time we left, we felt we knew him forever too! Just the nicest man and represented the establishment so well. Spoke with several servers as they came in to work the dinner shift and although we did not get everyone's name, they were all very welcoming to us. You could tell many employee's have been there a long time. They offer an array of early specials and we were so impressed that it was not just well drinks. Rich ordered a bottle of his favorite wine and it was also included at a discount, no other places do this from our experience. Food wise we had the Thai calamari, recommended by Joe. Just delicious, we started eating it before we took a picture so just know the plate was larger before we took the pic! We loved that it was dusted in flour but not breading on top of it. Really let the taste of the Thai chili sauce enrobe the calamari. For entree's I had shrimp francese and the shrimp were very generous as they were very large and cooked perfectly. Only thing I would say is I would prefer more sauce since I had it over angel hair pasta and next time I will just ask for it more "saucy". Rich wanted Veal Milanese, (not on the menu) however the bartender who took over from Joe's shift Brad, asked the chef and because it was still not too busy the chef said he would make it. Another excellent nod to a local place who will accommodate when the crowd size allows. Rich loved the dish, he had broccoli rabe on the side extra spicy. The chef added the arugula and "muzz", balsamic drizzle etc. it was perfectly presented. Brad, our second bartender of the day was also just as welcoming, very friendly, made suggestions and took great care of us. We met the Manager, Mike who gave us a little background for Fratello's and we promised him and everyone we had interacted with that we would be back very soon. We commented to him how wonderful we thought everyone we interacted with had been. It will clearly be one of our go to spots going forward. We cannot believe we had not been here before now. Terrific experience, fantastic selection of food, all nicely prepared and presented and the staff is superb. Loved the whole experience from start to finish.
Our server Michele was a wonderful server. She had a lot of patience with us and explained everything we asked about. Great first dining experience here. And since we are local we will return frequently. The chef is amazing !!!. THE OYSTERS GRATINEE WERE SUPERB!!
Just love the Food and the Ambience 💓
One of the best steak I ever had! The waiter Mr. John was wonderful and very welcoming. The beverages were awesome. I would highly recommend anyone visiting or want to dine out in that area 🌈🙏
Visited for appetizers. Everything seemed fresh. What we had was good. Haven't tried the main courses. Service was decent, atmosphere was quaint. Outdoor seating a nice touch. Will be back to update.
Always a delicious meal at Fratello's. I've been here a few times and it never disappoints. The server was very friendly and attentive as well. Highly recommend.
Unbelievably amazing, the pasta fagioli was like grandma used to make, the seafood was flavorful and delicious. Huge servings, no way you are finishing it all in one sitting. Quick with the service, my cups were never empty. The place feels like a real Italian home, like in saturnia Italy. Over all would def recommend.
Only had drinks at the bar. Great atmosphere. Entertainment was outstanding. Will definitely go back for dinner. Friendly bar crowd.
OMG a gem of a place, went to Parkerhouse and it was closed on Monday but glad.
Food and service at Fretello’s was awesome
Wish we could have gotten a booth but understand because place is so good
I tried fried stuffed oysters and OMG sooo good, being from New England thats a super compliment.
Perfect place for lunch and a drink after the beach, which is what we did. Sat at the bar, service and food were great and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back!
Very good food! Four stars because the appetizers and soup was luke warm. Waitress was mia for a long time between courses, water was never refilled. Cute place.
