The service by Angelina and Alejandra was best service I have ever experienced,they treated us like if we knew each other.The food couldn't have been better and neither couldn't have been the service. Restaurant absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to come back. read more

Honestly? What's not to like. Everything was excellent. Ambience. Service. Food. Every single plate was delicious. What's the best? The pricing and BYOB. Definitely will be coming back again. read more

Is there 1/2 star available? If there were, that would be my rating. Hard to find. Buried in a congested group of high rise apartments near Publix. Hard to nearly impossible to park- No liquor license so no wine- (they have been in that place for 2 years!) We only could drink water without ice for inner. No bread offered. I asked for a piece of bread- they brought a full loaf cut up and charged $8.00 without first telling me that there would be a charge. We went on a Saturday night at 6PM- only one other couple there.Ww shared a caesar salad - good. I had pumpkin ravioli- very rich, my wife had ravioli with a while sauce- very rich. The bill was $84.53. I left angry- definitely never going back. How this place stays in business is totally beyond me. read more

I didn't think this place was anything special. I had the Chicken Al 400 and thought it was very dry and salty. Since they had no kids menu, I ordered the meatballs for my son. They were ok. The pistachio tres leches was amazing tho. Service was nice but not super attentive. Often had to ask for things like water refill, napkins, etc. read more

Everything here was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend bringing your wine and this is the perfect date spot :) read more

We went to a private event here. The space is very cute, and very small. Not sure on a regular night, but for the event, you couldn't hear the person next to you from download. The food was alright. I had seen some Instagram posts and had higher expectations. The staff was friendly. The portion of the chicken parmesan was enormous. For starters we tried the mini pizza bread and salad. The salad was great. We also had the meatballs. These I did enjoy. The chicken parm was good and large, covered in arugula. We also tried the spicy rigatoni. It was good but not enough to make me want more. I will say, I am not a fan of tiramisu and I LOVED theirs. I think because it was more of a cake. It was the best part of the meal. read more

Fratelli By Jholano's - Italian Near Me - Kendall, Florida

I really liked this little Italian place. Fairly centrally located across from Dadeland Mall in Miami. VERY IMPORTANT: They do not have a liquor/wine/beer license! *BUT* they have a BYO Wine policy and NO CORKAGE FEE!!! (That's worth the 5th Star right there!) But the food and service is REALLY GOOD! We've gone a couple of times and tried many of their dishes - check out my pics attached. I snapped a shot of the Menu too... take a look. I initially went with my wife for dinner and we loved it. Decided to take the family back to celebrate an event. Everything was delicious! HOT TIP: order the meatballs, as a side to anything! Best meatballs I have ever had! Delicious desserts too. Make sure U check out this gem and bring your own wine (before they start charging for that!). You'll be happy you went! read more

I have been wanting to come here for a very long time. It is in Dadeland. My friend made a reservation. The place has lots of families and some dates. It is BYOB. At first they bring you olives complimentary. They were good ! I ordered the spicy rigatoni. It was 3/5 it was missing a burst of flavor. It needed more. The pistachio tres leche dessert was made by the family. It gives off a hidden gem. A nice spot if you want to have Italian food in the area. Great service. Decent prices. Stephanie was helping us. I would come back here again. read more

Fratelli By Jholano's - chicken parm - Italian Near Me - Kendall, Florida

I really wanted to like this place, but I left disappointed. I ordered the Chicken al 400 "Parmesan," which was not cheap at $33, and the dish just did not deliver. The chicken was pounded thin and it was mostly thick breading with very little actual chicken. Most bites were completely under-seasoned, and then suddenly one bite was so salty it felt like eating a chunk of a Himalayan salt lamp. The sauce had a strong mezcal-like flavor that completely overpowered the dish. The plate only comes with arugula and shaved Parmesan on top. If you want pasta, it is an extra $16, which feels excessive considering the entrée price. We also tried the spicy rigatoni, and it was unfortunately just mediocre. It was not spicy and it had the same mezcal-tasting sauce as the chicken. Overall, for the price point, I expected much better flavor and quality. Ambiance was nice and they have byob. read more

I've been to Jholano's so was excited to try Fratelli. We went on a Friday night and was seated immediately. They do have limited seating so I'd recommend a reservation if they offer them. For starters we had the artichoke. They were so good and had a bit of a kick to them. For my entree I ordered the spicy rigatoni. I really enjoyed the dish. I'm pretty sensitive to spice and it had the perfect amount. I also think the portion size was perfect for a pasta dish. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu. It wasn't out of this world. I would probably skip it next time. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite after a trip to a Dadeland and was so glad I did! I've been to the deli and their sandwiches are amazing so I figured this has to be top notch. We sat inside as there is plenty space and a bar. We started with the artichokes (delicious)! Order some bread on the side and the olive oil juice with the Calabrian spices make for the perfect dipping pair when you're done. The little antipasta with some cheese, olives and cornichons was also a nice touch. For the main I went with the Chicken Al 400 which is their chicken cutlet topped with arugula, Parmesan and a spicy mezcal sauce. It was fantastic. I highly recommend. For dessert we wanted the pistachio tres leches but apparently it's so good they sell out (it's homemade by the owners mother so it must be amazing). I guess I'll have to come back again soon to try this masterpiece and some of their other options. They told us we could bring our own beer or wine without a corking fee...yes please! read more

I really had high expectations, as my wife found them scrolling through social media, they push this cesar salad chicken sandwich. The sandwich looks amazing on social media so we decided to try it. We ordered the fig spread appetizer, it was 5-6 pieces of bread that had prosciutto and nuts with drizzle of fig spread. It was the best thing we had there. We also ordered a cesar salad..... it was warm. Almost to the point of being inedible. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese, they make it with chorizo and beef. I hate to say it but it was terrible, cold, noodles were half raw... (not aldente) my wife's sandwich was very mediocre to say the least. It was a Friday night almost 7 pm and we were the only ones there. Sad read more

Terrible service. We made a reservation for 3 p.m. We arrived 5 minutes early. Placed was really disorganized. According to them their "big party" had just left. Practically everything we asked for they didn't have. They weren't prepared to handle more people after their previous clients. We asked for pasta dishes, they ran out. We asked for desert, no more either and they only have 2 to choose from. Very bad experience. I think they said they had no more deserts in order to have for dinner. Very bad manager. The others that came in after us only had sandwiches so they received their orders before us. Bad experience unfortunately. read more

We made a reservation 1 week ago for 3 p.m. Today, May 2, 2026, we arrived and the table wasn't ready. They had a previous party and the place was totally dirty, tables and floor. We have to wait for the place to be cleaned for 45 minutes. Nothing we ordered was available, the excuse "The Party" consumed everything. No desert and they didn't say anything in advance. I also asked what are you going to have available for dinner, you don't have anything to offer? Mr. Jholano take care of your restaurant. I'll never be back, Sara Chiganer read more

Took advantage of their Wednesday night pasta special! They have a few select pastas for $18 but be aware they do not have a liquor license so our waitress suggested we go nearby to a store that sells wine because they have a no uncorking fee. For dinner we started with the Caesar salad, which was delicious and for the entrées we shared the crispy chicken and spicy rigatoni pasta. They have tables inside and outside for dining. The entrée dishes are big enough to share however, I recommend they get some bigger dinner plates in order to accommodate the sharing. Would definitely recommend saving room for dessert and ordering the pistachio Tres leches. read more

We started with the Seasonal Burrata with caramelized onions, prosciutto, & fig drizzle on grilled toasts. I could eat this for my meal! Then I had the linguine puttanesca with ricotta and added shrimp, so good. First friend had the polenta with scallop, mushrooms and capers. Our other friend had the butternut squash ravioli, cinnamon and cream. He said it was more like having dessert. We then had desserts of tiramisu and pistachio moist cake with moose and chopped pistachios topping. They had espresso and I had sparkling water. Overall it was a wonderful new place to try but the pricing was a little ridiculous. Thankfully it was a treat by a wonderful friend and industry person. read more

Everything was ok. Service was friendly but distant and a tad slow. Ambiance was nice. A bit dark and moody which I always appreciate. We ordered a number of different things. Started with the Jholano Loves Fig. Again, it was good, but not great. The focaccia was very thin and quite stiff. No chew to it and felt overly oiled. The thin yet still blocky pieces of Brie felt like an after thought (if it's Italian inspired, why not use taleggio?) and a very small portion for the price. For the mains it was primarily pasta in our party and the ones I tried were the Zucca Ravioli and the Polpette. Zucca Ravioli was a miss. While there were some individual components that were great (the roasted pumpkin that was sprinkled over the finish plate was quite good) but there was no cohesiveness. Ravioli dough was tough. Felt like it may have been overworked or undercooked. The whipped brown butter was nice but far too sweet. And the cinnamon dust along with the overall sweetness, made the entire thing feel like it was a dessert dish. Polpette was delicious but for what I thought was supposed to be a main course, I received a number of meatballs in a great sauce, cheese and 2 tiny pieces of bread. It felt more like a large version of a tapas style appetizer. Rest of my party tried the lobster special and the truffle ravioli (again, good not great). For dessert we tried the tiramisu and the pistachio tres leches. Both were ok. Pistachio tres leches was very mild on the pistachio. Overall the meal was ok but the dishes didn't feel fully fleshed out and, short of the polpette, the serving sizes were a tad small. Unfortunately not somewhere I'm returning to based on food and service, let alone the price point. read more

I was not impressed. Not the best pasta in town. Service was ok but small place and It feels super congested.

I got the truffle ravioli, and I loved the underlying highlights of the truffle in each bite. I felt like the ravioli itself could have been cooked a little bit better. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure my dining experience was good from start to finish. The interior was modern and nice. read more

Stopped in for Crème Brûlée but unfortunately they were out. They offered Tiramisu coupled with some Espresso to compensate and it was fairly decent. Didn't look at the menu much, but I plan to go back just because of how nice the owner was! Will update once I do. (4 stars for the no crème brûlée) read more

Incredible service, we had a reservation so once we arrived we were seated inside. Our server was so nice, attentive, and helpful in answering our questions about the menu. We shared the "2am At The Pantheon" and it was almost like a flat bread., the hot honey added such a good flavor. I love the sweet and savory combo" we also shared Jholano Loves Fig and I loved it but I also love Brie cheese very much. I got the spicy rigatoni and I really liked my meal. Overall it was so good. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant as well it felt so cozy. I'll be coming back here for sure read more

The food is great but the service was ok. The chicken caesar sandwich is a MUST! My friends ordered the chicken parm sandwich and a salad. They were great. But I highly recommend the chicken sandwich. They had one person working and it seemed a bit much for her to handle. Also, my friends and I ordered a glass of ice for our soda that was not that cold and the waitress stated they didn't have. You have to be prepared especially on a Friday. There is a Publix a block away go buy some. Do they not want people to go back? No liquor or wine so bring your own. I truly hope they fix the ice machine. I want to go back because their menu looks great. I hate leaving this kind of review but they need to know the good and bad. read more

Staff members were attentive and polite. Food was amazing. I had a Caesar salad followed by the ravioli plate with a side of shrimp. The tiramisu dessert was undoubtedly the best I ever had. The only drawback, for now, is the lack of adult beverages. They are in the process of obtaining their licenses. Don't let this turn you away from a great meal though. read more

Owner is never there and there is no manager on site. Service is blah and the only good thing was the host, very friendly and attentive.

We live close by in Pinecrest (which has zero paid parking restaurants) but generally avoid restaurants with parking garages with their potential charges and credit card complications. Turns out that parking for Fratelli at Downtown Dadeland was uncomplicated, plus they stamped our parking ticket. An elevator brought us up one floor to street level and deposited us right next to the Fratelli entrance. There is a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. The dining room has a comfortable dark ambience with mood lighting. Our waiter Alejandro was very attentive, other staff members were very friendly and the food was great. Most pasta dishes were in the $22-$24 range. We knew that Fratelli has no liquor license so we brought our own wine. Alejandro brought an ice bucket for the wine and there was no corkage fee. If you're concerned about how much you spend, I'd suggest asking what the specials cost when the server announces them. The delicious lobster ravioli that I order cost $54. I imagine the prices on some dishes may be high to compensate for lack of beer/wine sales. All in all, we had a most enjoyable experience -- great for both families like ours and date nights. Amusing side note: we presumed that a young woman at the next table who sat by herself for a long time was being catfished. After awhile, her date shows up with a bottle. Guess they didn't know the place was BYOB. read more

I didn't have a good experience at the sandwich shop and this didn't go any better. For some reason, Google shows a complete drink menu and they don't sell any alcohol. No alcohol is okay, but unfortunately the food didn't make up for it. It was just okay. The service was good, but for some reason the ambiance seems like they are only temporarily set up. I could be wrong. read more

The food was well priced and the flavors were well balanced and amazing. You cannot go wrong with any of the dinner items on the menu. The lobster ravioli was delicious and we specially loved the heart shaped ravioli. The Chifferi Ai Funghi was creamy and soft on the palate and full of flavor. Additionally, the appetizer we had was a creamy burrata on a delicious bruschetta with fig and walnuts. Absolutely divine. The atmosphere was quaint and romantic. The space was small but lends itself to time well spent by friends and family. The service was exceptional with the waitress Angelina taking great care to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Additionally, other staff members, Alejandra, was constantly making sure that we had everything we needed. The service was outstanding but not overwhelming giving us time to enjoy our meal. While the restaurant does not provide wine you are encouraged to bring your own. Fratelli by Jholano's is a hidden gem that we would highly recommend. read more

This place is a joke. Party of 9 WITH reservations. The restaurant was EMPTY. They told us we had to wait until they were ready for us. Several menu items are only available "to go" because they back the kitchen up. We decided to leave and they say we would be charged a "no show" fee. We explained they didn't have the food we wanted to eat. We asked for a manager and the owners sister came out and said "fine just go do whatever". Definitely needs hospitality training. read more

We walked in and they asked if we had a reservation and the whole time we were there, the restaurant was empty. Reservations???? The menu is very limited. Description of the food items is not consistent with what you actually get. The meatballs is a meal and doesn't come with any pasta. The ice machine was broken so we couldn't get any ice. We asked for Parmesan cheese and they had the audacity to want to charge extra for the cheese. At an Italian restaurant, really???? Definitely will my be returning. I don't get the hype for this restaurant, at all. read more

LOVED this restaurant! First of all I like visiting restaurants after reading reviews or by word of mouth. We went there because of Mr. Eats 305! He was not wrong! All 4 of us had fresh pasta (Wednesday and Sunday it's $18 for selected pastas). The house-made pastas were tasty, creative, and the portions are generous without being exaggerated. For appetizer we shared the Caesar Salad and it is a must have. If you've never been excited about salad, prepare to be blown away by this one. Expertly crafted, delicious, and beautifully plated. We shared two desserts, our favorite was the pistachio tres leches. By the way, this is a BYOB restaurant and they don't have a corkage fee so next time we'll be bringing our own favorite bottle of wine. Because it's in Downtown Dadeland it's very easy to get to and there's always plenty of parking. I can't wait to visit again! read more

First, no liquor license of any type, yet! BYOB with no corkage. Food was good , service was decent. Disappointed in menu. Limited selection, they did not have the Bolognese pasta? An Italian restaurant with no Bolognese. They only two desserts on menu, yet non available. A little underwhelming experience. May try again if menu improves. read more

I'm so disappointed because I support small local businesses and wanted this place to be good. Unfortunately they just aren't ready. Walked in on a Friday night to a half empty restaurant, no liquor license yet so they encouraged me to go to the liquor store down the block and BYOB. I got 2 beers for $8 and came back to wait. And wait. And wait. Finally got the Caeser salad which was ok. Then we waited and waited over an hour and a half and finally got the flatbread. It was warm when we got it. I've had better at Sir Pizza honestly. Not worth the hype. The meatballs and garlic bread finally came out another 15 minutes later and it was the best part of the meal. But for appetizers we got them last. Confusing. The tiramisu was delicious. Super light and creamy. The bill. Charged me $20 for a cork fee. Why? They encouraged BYOB and I bought beer. Nobody even corked anything and the waitress said it was for bringing alcohol in the restaurant. What? You told me to go to the liquor store lol. They did take the fee off after I asked politely and mentioned the extremely long wait. Then they ran my credit card after I realized I was charged for 2 tiramisu. I ordered 1. So disappointed. Wanted this to replace Abi Maria, but this place was just utter sadness. Not a way to build clientele. I live in the building and would love to go back, but I won't after this. read more

Delicious! We started with the stracciatella which consisted of arugula, stracciatella, toasted bread, prosciutto and the best olive oil. The flavors were incredible! We followed with the meatballs with mustard over a bed of mushrooms, yum. As our main course, we ordered the specials of the day: spaghetti which was very flavorful, truffle raviolis and pumpkin raviolis. Every dish had its own unique flavor and the ingredients were top quality and fresh. The pasta was cooked to perfection, aldente. This was the best Italian meal I've ever had.
