Delicious. I had a glass of Pinot and their pezole verde and it was YUM! Right on the water. We were originally going to go next door, but it had a 45 min wait. So we tried this place instead, and it didn’t disappoint! The service was also excellent. Our server checked in with us several times. We all finished every last bite of our food. I can’t say if the pizza was good because none of us ordered it, but it LOOKED amazing! They also have a gluten free option for the crust. There is indoor and outdoor seating, both with views of the harbor. We came from Santa Clarita for a working day, and are very glad we decided to stop in here for our late lunch. We would definitely go back!

Delicious pizza!! The views are exceptional and the staff were super friendly. Definitely eat here!
First time here a definitely a winner
Brought my wife to Brophy Brothers on a date; she took one look at the menu prices and said “nope.” (Also, she doesn’t like clams or scallops, so one of Brophy’s selling points for me was a turn-off for her. Plus it was an hour wait for a table! “All the nopes.”)
The host at Brophy’s was very kind; she must have overheard our sotto voce discussion. “You know, there’s a good restaurant at the bottom of the stairs here. Their wait is much shorter than ours, and it’s not as pricey.”
Sure enough, a pizza place called Fratelli’s is right downstairs, overlooking the marina. No wait at all: we ordered at the counter and went straight to a perfect table outside, about twenty feet (maybe 6m) from the water, out of the way of the families with children who seem to congregate at Fratelli’s on a Saturday night.
Prices reasonable: ~$13 for a medium barbecue chicken pizza that took a little while to come but was truly excellent when it arrived. And bigger than we expected of a “medium”: we brought half of it home! Also ordered a kale chicken salad, which was fine, but that raw kale can be hard to get through in any significant amount. And that salad was bigger than we expected too—yep, we brought half of that home with us too. My wife plans to braise the kale and serve the salad warm tomorrow, which sounds amazing.
We also ordered the chimichurri steak skewer, as an appetizer, though it arrived after the salad & pizza (with their apologies). Wow. We were going to bring some of that home too but couldn’t stop ourselves, we ate it all! The thick crispy home-made potato chips too— those would have made a great snack but we accidentally finished those off too, they were so good. Try them with a bit of ketchup mixed with Fratelli’s Char Man habanero sauce... yuuum.
Come to think of it, those steak skewers might have had something to do with having all that other food to take home, and the steak skewers & potato chips were just $9.
It’s a friendly place too. Service was friendly, bartender was friendly (though we didn’t order drinks), even the kids and parents were friendly; we chatted with a couple of the parents for a bit, at one point.
All in all an excellent date night in a beautiful, friendly place. Definitely on the “must go back someday!” list.
1st time visitor: My wife and I stopped in after walking the dog on the beach. We'd come down from Ojai on a Friday night thinking it would be sunny and warm (like it was in Ojai) but once we got to the harbor it was overcast, breezy and chilly. We walked past Fratelli's and decided to give it a try.
Neither of us had been here before; we realized the last time we were here it was the old Milano's italian restaurant.
We walked in and were greeted by Tyler who was our bartender/server. He told us it was open seating and invited us to sit anywhere. We marvelled at how quiet the harbor was on a Friday night but assumed it was the weather that kept people away.
Tyler quickly had us set up with a couple craft beers and we checked out the menu.
We both settled on pizza - a house pizza for me and a garden pizza for my wife. We killed time by watching the game on one of many big screens.
The pizzas arrived and were great - thin crust, fresh ingredients, hot and tasty! We both ate more than we expected to, probably because the chilly weather made us hungry.
I'd definitely go here again and if I knew Fridays were always goung to be this quiet I'd make it a regular thing.
Kudos to Tyler - he was attentive without being obnoxious and kept himself busy despite the lack of customers. He was cleaning and stocking the bar the entire time.

Unexpectedly amazing experience 👌🤩😉 Totally! After Google suggested for me to visit this place specifically and I found it interesting so i have saved "Fratellis" to my "i want to go to" tab, and after 2 days, my real angel, my sister, btw, the best one i have and the only one who could have a lot of patience towards me, the sweetest and unlikely to have a random invites, and yet came through on-point, an answered prayer and indeed a blessed day for me. In short, this is our sibling-bonding dinner date, only to find-out that it's my sister's first time there as well. A mixed of thrill, suspense and bewilderment equally ✌🤔😉 Safe-Mode, we requested their house specials and chef's recommendations: Medium Size of Chicken BBQ Pizza and their own recipe of Chicken Carbonara and the drinks of our choice. Fast service. Very approachable hostess and crews. A homey-ambience with a perfect view of sunset, big ships and yatch club. Yet my TOP random meal-out, a RARE chill-out bonding experience with my Sis, and yet exceeded my set expectations. No Doubt, One of My Recommendations for.you and your love ones 😍 Hope to see you guys their anytime soon ✌🤩😘😉❤
Great location. Pizza was delicious. Friendly staff and good service. Love that they are dog friendly.
Great cute spot right on the water. I was hesitant because I'm pretty picky about my pizza. However, the food was a very pleasant surprise. We got the house special and it was extra cheesy. I also got the house salad with creamy ginger dressing. There was also a bar inside. I highly recommend this place for a casual satisfying lunch or dinner.
The pizza here is delicious, bbq chicken was tonight's choice.
