About Fratellino’s Italian Restaurant
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
This family style restaurant was a surprise and delightful discovery for us. The food was excellent, the service outstanding and price soooo reasonable in an age when it’s so expensive to eat out! This is not a high end type Italian restaurant. It’s simpler fare but has quite an extensive menu with lots of options. For example, my shrimp scampi could be prepared in 3 or 4 different styles. I opted for the Italian style which is the traditional garlic, olive oil and lemon. It was outstanding with loads of garlic which I love! What I find unusual about this restaurant is you can really customize your meal, adding things, changing things, getting choices in a types of meat or sauces etc. My partner ordered the #4 combo with ravioli ( several types to choose from), lasagna ( beef or veggie) and spaghetti with meatballs ( chicken or beef) . So many options! There is a large room but we were tucked away in a back room so it was easy to talk. Good for New Year’s Eve! We will definitely return!
Food here are average. The garlic bread and carrots probably the best dishes of the night and those are FREE~ We ordered a variety of pasta from Lasagna, fettuccine with basil garlic sauce and chicken, spaghetti with red sauce and shrimp and so on ( in the pictures). The best thing of the night is our waiter who was super friendly and helpful and patient. Our evening was a pleasant one because of him, not the meal. He deserves a raise because himself worth a 5 stars already. Overall, a good place for families and friends to hang out but not for the food.
Great service and good. Ordered Creamy pesto penne pasta, fratellinos veggie pizza, Garlic cheese bread and tiramisu was all great and decent. Tiramisu was just good not too sweet, it’s not overwhelming. Service was great. Tried their house wine- it was strong - great with garlic cheese bread. Liked their complimentary carrot, ranch and pepper chili Table was consistently checked upon great service. Good to reserve table just to skip the waitline.
I was quite disappointed with the same restaurant in Orange, but the Brea location turned out to be much better. While the pasta (whoops, no photos this time) wasn’t exactly traditional Italian, it had a different kind of appeal that I still enjoyed. It’s not a place I would frequent, but I wouldn’t mind returning for another visit.
This was my first time eating Italian cuisine. This restaurant was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint. We did not have to wait long to be seated. The restaurant is very clean, and the atmosphere was very calm and enjoyable. The staff is very nice. Our waitress went above what was expected to accommodate us, a party of 10. The food was amazing and flavorful and was brought out in an appropriate time. I can't wait to go back many times over. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a date or to enjoy with close friends. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT FRATELLINO'S!!!..
