What can I say other than it's a hidden Gem. Food and service was great from start to finish! Appetizers were hot when served. Soup was hot when served. Entree was hot when served. Desert was delish and cappuccino was hot and frothy! The tables are spread out comfortably where you don't interrupt others conversation with your own or vise versa. The atmosphere is inviting with great lighting and respectful yet down-to-earth employees are approachable and conversational. Overall experience was amazing! This is our new venue! They'll be seeing more of us, that's a promise!!! read more

One of my fav italian spots in the bronx! The food is always amazing and delicious there chicken parm is so yummy and the desserts are just as delicious as the entrees you must try them out ! read more

Hey, reportin' from Da Bronx! Marrone! Good food? Absolutely! I remember dis owner back when he only owned a deli. They have another location up in Mahopac. I love both locations. Oooo fa! I had grilled chicken & broccoli rabe today, and stuffed Zucchini flowers, but all the Italian dishes are excellent! As a side, instead of pasta try the potato croquettes. The family style salads are great. I'm gonna come back here for some delicious Capozzelli! Fuggeddaboutit! read more

Fratelli - Back room fun! - Italian Near Me - Bronx, New York

The food was awful!!! The calamari were very gummy and pale. The seafood and turf platter awful with no taste and the shrimp parm was salty. Never coming back. read more

I've been coming to Fratelli's for everything from my communion to graduations to family birthdays since it opened in the 90s. Used to live around the corner from them, where their chicken parm heroes and house salad to go was the most anticipated dinner of the week (sorry Mom). Italian food in the Bronx can be a bit monotonous, with sauces that taste the same, or the usual schtick that becomes almost taboo after awhile, where we fall into the motions of eating clams oreganata, something parmigana, and splitting tartufos. Fratelli's is great because it is not the typical fare. They start you off with homemade proscuitto bread or onion foccacia, it varies, with the best eggplant caponata dip I've had. It's something like that dip that separates them in my eyes. Not to mention the always perfect house salad that comes out next. Their marsala is deep and dark, loaded with mushrooms and demi-glace, unlike any other marsala you've had, I promise. Their parmigana is amongst the best, again different from anyone I've had, in an unmistakably Fratelli way. I can't speak enough praise about the place, from Anthony and the staff, down to the chocolate ravioli (top 5 desert ever) it's a great place to have an Italian meal worthy of going out for. read more

Haven't eaten here in a long time, moved away, found other places, well today I returned, Mother's Day, and my wife's birthday, same day, didn't want to travel far and bring home cold food, so I called a friend who said, yes the food is still great, but because of the holiday and takeout only, there's always room for doubt, we'll don't doubt it, phenomenal, first off social distancing was enforced, orders were taken by 4 people, who were dealing with a lot, we had baked clams, mussels in white wine, my wife and son had ravioli and meatball, and I had shrimp scampi, angel hair same sauce, everything was great, people were polite and professional, prices weren't stupid for a holiday, order was Perfect, and they even called my cell when it was ready, can't wait for this corona virus to pass, cause I'm gonna be a regular in that place again read more

Thanks you, Fratelli's, for doing right by my family when we were grieving my grandfather Muccioli's passing. They were more than fair when giving us pricing for a pre-fix family luncheon. GREAT food and service. Thank you again. read more

My mom and I are quite far from home and turned to trusty Yelp to find something to eat. Fratelli's is definitely a gem. The food was delicious, the portions generous, the servers attentive and the dessert OMG! If I find myself in the Bronx again I'd definitely return! read more

I first tried Fratelli's about 10 years ago, and have become a regular. While not on par with Roberto's or Enzo's, I would describe Fratelli's Resturant as a better quality Frankie and Johnnies Pine. While I love most of the specials from the kitchen, I usually order their seafood and veal dishes, which are not only more than plentiful but also delicious. I especially like the veal dishes because unlike some resturants of late, their veal is so tender, there is no need for a knife. While some locals consider it a bit pricey, you get what you pay for here. A meal for me is usually just an entree, which comes with delicious bread and a nice salad, dessert, coffee and a glass or two of wine. That's about $40 including a tip. read more

Returned here and still had a great time. They started us off with Salad, bread, and also a baked bread with like onion. I liked it but it wasn't a fan of the other people I was with. I shared Eggplant Parm with my cousin and it was really good, although a bit to salty. I also had Penne Vodka again, great but really thick. Fried calamari was perfect as well as the Muscles. I forgot what the ice cream was called in the hard chocolate shell but oh man, the chocolate ice cream in it was amazing. The cappuccino was pretty good as well. read more

Fratelli - Desert menu - Italian Near Me - Bronx, New York

See all

I found Fratelli through Yelp. Staff was very friendly and solicitous. I was given a plate with a 1/2 loaf of italian bread, butter, oil and ratatouille. Dinner was excellent. Service was excellent. I was made to feel welcome. I got a street parking place, so don't know if there is a lot. I'd go back if ever in the area again. read more

Pretty good Italian american place, the food isn't amazing but it's solid and the prices are pretty reasonable. Mostly traditional menu, so don't expect to be blown away by any creativity. Service is pretty good, too. I wouldnt go way out of my way to eat there but if I was in the area and in the mood for something good, not terribly pricey and easy to get seated this would be a place to go. This is a pretty neighborhood place in an area full of italians and italian restaurants and it's done good business for a while. read more

Great restaurant for a large, loud party. We had Father's Day celebration there for 12 people and the food was fantastic. Service was a little slow, and I heard the bartender throw out a few F-Bombs in front of my kids, but other than the unpolished hired help, the food was authentic Italian and really brought me back to my earlier years. Had the hot antipasto, which was exquisite, along with staple fried calamari, and Broiled Salmon for the main entree. On the dessert side, the Creme Brulee was a little underdone, but still tasted great. read more

Old school Italian dining in the Bronx, the real little Italy of New York City. Remember it's called "A Bronx Tale" not a Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, or Manhattan take. Don't forget that. read more

I love this place! The food is good! The waiters are all nice! Service is good. It does get packed so there is a chance you might have to wait for a seat. Penne Vodka is good. The steak is awesome! Desserts are good as well. I really do enjoy this place. I recommend to most people. Cash only or American Express.. So be prepared! read more

I've gone here twice. Service is a little slow and I usually get waited on by more than one waiter because they are always running around...but the food (baked clams, calamari, veal, soft shell crabs pasta, mocha gelato, pistachio gelato, cappuccino with a cinnamon stick...) are all great. I wish they would update the decor, but besides that a solid restaurant for a very good meal. read more

Very nice and cozy, family run, neighborhood restaurant. Very good food and wine with decent, inexpensive prices. I ordered one of the daily specials, which was the sauteed swordfish in a light tomato sauce. It was beautifully presented on a large plate with a medley of vegetables and escarole. More importantly, it was moist and delicious. My companions each had pasta dishes; one with calamari, the other with a white clam sauce. In both cases, the fish was plentiful. I also had the pleasure of enjoying the crab cake appetizer which was moist and delicious. I look forward to returning to have more great food here. read more

We come here often and I just have to finally had to write a review... The food is delicious and our favorite waiter Tony is so pleasant. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a nice warm atmosphere and truly delicious food. read more

Let me start by saying this isn't completely a negative because of the rating. The service wasn't bad. It was good. As it shouldn't have been regarding it wasn't busy. The crab cake I ordered wasn't all that great. The sauce or red wine reduction to me was not good at all sorry. And I believe that the crab was spoiled hence why I didn't eat it. The decor was pretty outdated. And that usually doesn't bother me but some how it did. I might come here again one day and really give them another shot. read more

Went on a weeknight, my first visit to Fratelli. Service starts with a salad and bread basket. Both are good, the salad is pretty much the usual fare however the bread basket is outstanding. Nice crusty bread with a good olive oil flavored with chili and garlic. That alone could be a meal itself. We split the rice balls as an app, sooooo delicious. I had grilled chicken with broccoli rabe, very nice. Everyone in my group enjoyed the food. We didn't try the desserts. I gave four stars because, I agree with another reviewer, the decor could be updated. You can't go wrong with the food however, a solid classic Italian restaurant. read more

An Italian red sauce restaurant in the ole school tradition. Popular with locals, the ambiance is not retro but authentic 80's. The menu is typically tried and true Italian standards no nouvelle/ fusion here. The kitchen however does not disappoint. Try the chicken or veal rolletini Marsala with potato croquette, I regard it as their signature dish. Dinners include a lagniappe, a focaccia bread basket , plus a family style salad, a good deal. Service is friendly and relatively efficient. I was so pleased to rediscover this place a few months back. Repeated visits only confirm its consistent ability to deliver a good ole fashion Italian meal. read more

I just started ordering food from Fratelli's; the service is good and the food is delicious. We especially loved the "shells with spinach & ricotta" and the potato croquettes are delicious! read more

My husband and I have been going to Fratellis for at least 14 years, the place is warm and friendly...the food is great ( everything they make is YUMMY), the staff are fun and hospitable as can be. Chef Eddie is a very sweet guy...he often comes out of the kitchen of a brief moment to meet and greet his crowd...the service is great and you don't wait very long for a drink....made by Dawn the bartender...she as sweet as pie!! The waiters....all of them Uly, Anthony, Mario, Frankie, Chris, and Edgar are funny and fun!!!! on holidays when I have family dinners we get the back room, it's big enough to fit a good amount of my family members at least 45 people and that's just the back room!!! You will love the atmosphere and enjoy very good food!!! Don't forget dessert with a nice espresso or cappuccino! ENJOY!! read more

Had a 70th bday party for my mother. Service was OUTSTANDING... Food was DELISH... Huge success... Highly recommend...

It has great Italian food like the penny vodka, baked ziti , pasta fagioli and etc. It also as seafood the only downside is it towards the expensive side. read more

5/20/15 - The bread and dipping oil were fantastic. The pasta with sausage and mushrooms was tasty. The service was super super SLOW !! It wasn't even a busy night, maybe 4 - 5 tables had people, so I'm not sure why servers couldn't keep up. Food deserves 4 Stars. Service 2 Stars = my 3 Star Yelp rating. read more

Not impressed. I heard a lot about this place over the years and I finally tried it and it wasn't anything special. I had soup that didn't have much taste and salmon that was ok. The service wasn't that great either. read more

My family and I were there this past Sunday and as usual everything we had was absolutely delicious. I am in the neighborhood and this is the best Italian restaurant in the Bronx. read more

Amazing dinner!!! I've heard they declined in passed years, but clearly they are back and at the top of their game. They started us with salad and capinata. Both so delicious. The salad dressing was amazing we had them bring us another. I got the chicken cacciatore and I don't think I've ever had it more tender or delicious. And they even had gluten free pasta to boot. All around, an amazing meal and experience, can't wait to go back. read more

Been here for the past 15 years or so, and each and every time I was never disappointed. The service is superb, the food is excellent and my favorite is shrimp franchise and I ask for the same sauce on my side dish of pasta, going back on 10/28/18, can't wait to go with my family. See you soon Fratelli. read more

loved it. as we sat down they immediately brought us salad, great bread, blended oils and a garlic spread. seafood salad and mussels marinara: great. my and my mom's seafood pastas olive oil and garlic; my wife's chicken parm; my mom's shrimp pasta: all out of this world. carrot cake and tira misu (SP?): delicious. coffee and sambuca. great. read more

Great food we go there all the time, it's really a neighborhood place. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. They always rotate their menu as well. read more

We were told about this little gem in the Bronx by someone from Westchester County, so we ventured there to see for ourselves. On this Saturday night every table was taken. At first glance, the menu seemed a little pricey for a somewhat out-of-the-way restaurant. But then our meals were delivered, and there was enough delicious food to feed three with each serving. Service was attentive and polite and they mix a terrific Manhattan. Our table brought all of our leftovers home and afforded us eight additional meals for the four of us. Well worth the trip. I already have plans to return. read more

Best meal I have had in years... Atmosphere was very comfortable, very Bronx... And I love the Bronx... Service was perfect... Wine list is well balanced... Worth a trip... Order the specials and you will be blown away!! read more

Can't say enough fantastic things about Fratelli's. Have been here 4 or 5 times and they always remember us which is nice! Amazing atmosphere, relaxing and warm but still modern. Service is friendly and relatively efficient. I was so pleased to rediscover this place a few months back. read more

Service is good environment is good, but prices are a little bit high we ordered Pina Coladas they tasted funny! Fried shrimps were good but shrimps cocktail were yuck lol read more

Awesome restaurant, and probably my favorite Italian restaurant in the Bronx. I usually get the chicken parm which is delicious, but the veal parm and their pasta is good as well. I usually go here with my family and usually no issues with noise since we go early. The waiters are good and food comes quickly and choose the fried calamari for an appetizer! There seem to be a lot of regulars that go in the restaurant, but unlike other places, I don't feel like we're treated like outsiders despite the fact they probably only vaguely remember us. A nice family atmosphere and great food! read more

Our favorite Italian restaurant. We go there all the time. Great food, fair prices, family-oriented. Relax and enjoy yourself.

I was in the neighbor for a wake/funeral, this place was recommended by the funeral home, To be honest the food tasted fine, However it was not long after eating it that I spent the rest of the evening in the men's room at the funeral home, only to have this continue when I reached home and all through the night into the next day. Just as I suspected food poisoning, It was a chicken dish.......so Me-thinks- not...................... and I will not be returning. read more

Placed order for take out. When we got the food home we noticed they left the side dishes out (all 4 of them). Had to drive back up to pick them up. Got home and noticed there was no bread either and never given a receipt to check the prices. We weren't even offered an appetizer or dessert for all the aggravation. Last time we will be there. read more
