Our Guestbook
“ They often have a Sunday buffet and all the food is terrific. One incredible stand out is their prime rib, which is carved at a station and is the most tender meat I've ever had in a restaurant! ”
“ Excellent every single time. And if you don't have brunch here on Sunday, you're an idiot. ”
“ My spouse and I went to try it for an early Valentines Day meal. We started with the calamari and the frut d'mare (clams casino, shrimp and stuffed mushrooms) All were fantastic! My spouse got the seafood Venezia and I got the veal parm. Again all were wonderful! The Caesar side salad was even good and the bread was hot when it came to the table. It was a truly outstanding meal and the service was phenomenal too. We will be back and have already recommended it to a few friends and at least one has gone as well. ”
“ a friend of mine provided Fratelli's for lunch and even in to-go tupperware, the food was absolutely immaculate. we both had the rigatoni con salcicia and dinner rolls and opted in for cannolis as dessert. words can't describe how decadent the first bite was and how every bite after was savored. i can honestly say this has been the best pasta dish i've tried in a very long time. i look forward to experiencing the service and taking in the ambiance in person. if it's half as good as the food is, it'll definitely take the title of best italian restaurant in the area for sure! ”
“ Always an unbelievable experience at Fratelli's. Excellent service, delicious food, and welcoming ambiance. Thank you for another amazing dinner. Cheers! ”
“ Fratelli restaurant in Alexandria, VA is a delightful gem that focuses on Northern Italian cuisine. I recently ordered the Linguini alle Vongole, and it was definitely one of my favorites! The dish was beautifully presented, with the portion just right--neither too large nor too small--and served at the perfect temperature. My dining companions enjoyed the lobster ravioli, filet mignon with mushroom sauce, and a special Chilean sea bass, all of which received high praise. To top off the meal, we shared a light tiramisu that was so good! One order, four forks, no guilt! The service was equally commendable, with friendly staff who were well-informed about the specials and menu modifications. Each course was timed perfectly, allowing us to savor our meal without feeling rushed. The ambiance of Fratelli is simple --it's a cozy neighborhood spot that can be bustling yet manages to accommodate diners comfortably. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the neighborhood. ”
“ I recently stopped by Fratelli and had a fantastic experience; it's not my first visit, and it won't be my last. The service was excellent. The staff went above and beyond and were on top of everything. My glass was never empty. Now, let's talk about the food. The past was delicious, flavorful, and well-cooked. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. The house bread is so good. Give them a try. ”
“ If I could give ten stars for the lobster ravioli I would. I could taste the lobster in the sauce, filling and pieces throughout the dish in general. The bread rolls were fresh and salad crisp. I definitely will return or order from them again. ”
“ We took my husband here for his birthday dinner. You could smell the garlic as soon as you walked in the door, always a good sign at an Italian restaurant. Atmosphere - Dated. Clean. Well lit. Quaint. Customer Service - Attentive. Friendly. Quick. Accommodating. Food/Drinks - Fresh. Hot. Good, but not amazing. Traditional. Overall, I'd love to come back when they're doing their brunch buffet because that set up looked amazing. Save room for dessert! ”
