My son and I both ordered seafood pastas. He and I both ordered the clams with linguine. He got the parma rosa sauce will I got the traditional wine sauce. The meal also came with a soup or salad. Since it was a hot day, we both picked salad. One of our favorite parts of the meal was the bread. Not sure if it was on purposes but the bread basket came with both thin slices and thick slices. And don't forget the garlic infused butter. So yumm! As for parking, the restaurant is in a small strip center and only a few stores were open when we arrived so there was plenty of parking.

The bread was not heavy as typical bread seemed as if it was the flour but lighter than normal. We ordered brushetta. The topping was a fair amount but the balsamic was a bit too sweet for me. We ordered chicken piccata came with angel hair pasta and good amount of capers with a lemon wedge. The pasta and chicken complimented each other well. The sauce seemed a light lemon flavor the fresh squeezed elevated the flavor. Great dish to order. It also came with soup or salad I chose minestrone but not to my liking way too much tomato taste for My taste buds. We also had a pizza it was mozzarella and basil, tomatoes (Margarite) good pizza the crust was hand tossed. Nice place to enjoy a meal not too loud but it was Monday.

He was so attentive and made sure we had a wonderful experience by getting us refills, extra bread, etc. Our food even came out within 10 minutes even though it was extremely busy.

Made reservations for the patio area(we like because it's quieter)and we were seated right away. We ordered a great red from Sicily 'Nero D' Avolo'. I ordered the Linguine Alla Vongole (clams). It was amazing. My wife got the Penne Primavera. She loved it and had it for lunch the next day. The staff is super friendly and again the manager came by to say hi and ask how everything was.

This place is excellent!! Our first experience with Fratellino's was at the one in Orange and the…read morefood was so good. We were in the area (Brea) and was looking for a spot to eat at and then remembered that Fratellino's had two locations. The Brea location is more of a sit down and the server comes and take your order as for the Orange location you order your food from the counter, get a number , find a table and they bring the food to your table. The service here was excellent and the inside really gives you the Italian ambiance with the decorations and paintings. The food was good as expected and didn't disappoint. We got the Calamari, it had great flavor and fried to perfection and it comes with marinara dipping sauce. The Chicken Alfredo was creamy and flavorful, the fettuccine noodle cooked perfect. This place uses quality ingredients and makes their dishes fresh. We will definitely be back again. Fratellino's is one of our new Italian restaurant.

I've been coming here for a few years now, and the food and service have consistently been…read moreexcellent. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that truly feels like a neighborhood favorite rather than a chain restaurant, which makes the experience even better. The standout dish for me is the shrimp and scallop pasta with their Italian sauce. The combination of white wine and lemon gives the sauce a light, bright flavor that pairs perfectly with the scallops and shrimp, both of which are always cooked beautifully. One recommendation I'd make is swapping the pasta for angel hair. I think the more delicate texture would complement the sauce even better and help soak up every bit of flavor because trust me, you'll want every last bite. If you're planning to visit Friday through Sunday, I highly recommend making a reservation since wait times can get pretty long. Strong recommendation if you're looking for a stellar local Italian spot with consistently great food and welcoming service.

This review of Vinny's Italian Restaurant is long overdue. I've eating there about twice a week…read morefor the last 7 months and I've never been disappointed. The food is consistently tasty and plentiful. I've tried the pastas but my go to meal is a big bowl of Minestrone soup, salad with Italian dressing and to die for garlic bread. I try to eat more plant based, and the soup is chock full of delicious vegetables - I think Vinny said eighteen different kinds - and just enough ditalini pasta to satisfy my pasta craving without blowing my diet. There's a hint of hotness to it, just enough to set it apart from the chain restaurants. I don't like vegetables very much, but I know they are really good for me, so Vinny's Minestrone was a terrific find. For my cheat day, about once a month I splurge on Patsy's Tiramisu. I think she said the recipe came from Vinny's Mom. It is worth every decadent calorie. The fluffy whipped cream is light yet rich, sweet but not too sweet, just the perfect amount of wonderfulness that dessert should be, and sadly, often isn't. Finally, I have to mention the people that work there. I don't know exactly what goes on in the kitchen, but my food is always fast, abundant, and hot - unless it's supposed to be cold. I'll repeat the word delicious here, because it is. So Vinny and his kitchen team are A+. The servers are great. Leti and Laurie greet me by name, with big smiles. They remember my preferences. They are never too busy to call out thank-you and have a great day when I leave. Patsy, the owner, is often on the floor serving, too, and she has gone out of her way to check-in with me and ask after my well-being. I appreciate their kindness, which is ever-present during slow, and busy times of the day. Vinny's is not fancy, but it's warm and homey, and yes, here's that word again: delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

It's the kind of place that's perfect for both casual dinners with friends as well as for special occasions. Everything we have tried has been flavorful, drinks are amazing and the service has always made us feel taken care of. P.S. There is limited seating and they don't take reservations so expect to wait alittle.

Our family spotted this place and its stellar Yelp reviews and reeeeeally wanted to love it, but…read morethe prices were high -- even in a post-COVID world where everything is expensive -- they're charging a whopping $15 for a (meatless) dinner salad, a bowl of romaine with a forgettable house dressing. Come ON. Also, we all ordered different entrees (we're vegetarian) and all of them across the board were bland and average. Like they'd cracked a jar of Ragu, poured it over pasta, and expected us to be happy. Fun ambiance, but not enough to lure us back. Food was expensive and just meh. We don't recommend this place.

The food was pretty close to the old location, but the menu was not so extensive which is not unusual for small place. We miss Dominick who used to walk around with his wine glass ,half loaded and yelling . The waitress at the new place took our order and really showed no personality. She is an inland if I understand correctly. It's a shame if you want to remember the vibe of the old place, but the food helped to make up for her lack.

I would like to start my review and say that I was hungry when I arrived, so my hungriness' was up…read more When we arrived, there was only one table seated. The one waitress was on her phone when we walked in and seemed kind of bothered that we were interrupting. The location is kind of small so parties of 4+ might have an issue with seating. They didn't have a sampler "TOUR" like other restaurants, and I decided to go with the Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken, Side Meatballs and side salad. This is when the restaurant started getting busy. The salad arrived was less than to be desired and there was barely any dressing. She then dropped off the Meatballs that were cold and I asked to please send them back. Needless to say I was becoming slightly agitated due to being hungry. Then my main dish ordered was not Chicken Alfredo. The other people at my table said that their dishes were amazing. I was like, ill believe it when it comes. I am happy to say that when the dish arrived it was everything that I wanted, and she brought back the meatballs that were warm and her attitude seemed to improve as things got busier and the experience finished very well. Skip the salad and go straight for the main entree and you will not lose.
