Gnocchi
Olivia S.

Fantastic dinner spot within Encore! Complimentary bread was great (especially loved the garlic that came with it!!). All of the pasta was wonderful - everyone got different pasta entrees and they all loved it. Also ordered calamari to start which also had fried shrimp, scallops, onion strings in there - loved the taste, but felt like the presentation of that item could be better (it was in a basket where the food seemed to easily fall out, so it was messy). Service was attentive. Lively atmosphere. Went for dinner on Thursday and it was pretty popular!

Beautifully plated dinners carefully crafted to wow your tastebuds. Simple and stunning elevated Italian fare. Great service and a very fun ambiance. The atmosphere of the casino sneaks into Fratellis and you can watch game play while you dine. Love this spot for dinner with the parents, they have options for everyone!

Famous Espresso Martini
Melinda S.

We have been here a few times. It offers authentic Italian food inside the Encore. Inside is very clean and quiet. The expresso martini is one of the best I have had. They bring bread with olives, roasted garlic and olive oil which is great. The last time we were here I saw a different table order the Parmesan wheel pasta and I really wanted to try it but we went there and had something different. They offer a special called Rush Hour MONDAY - THURSDAY, 4PM - 6PM $49.95 per person. It is a great deal and includes the following. Choice of One of Our Appetizers PASTA SECONDI and. DESSERT. If you are planning a trip to The Boston Encore you should definitely check out Fratelli's!

Service was very good. Food overall was good. Nothing stood out as spectacular but overall is a nice experience and ambience. Definitely not worth the price but once in a while, you are looking to endulge or celebrate and occasion, It's a good spot. We got the steak carpaccio, fried calamari, zucchini, flowers, clam/mussels and red sauce and the grilled octopus. The zucchini flowers were the star of the show. The rest were all good no complaints, but nothing was yowzers. Entrées, we got stuffed lobster, grilled Franzino and a couple of steaks. Again, if you're celebrating go for it a nice spot in the hotel.

Filet Mignon, Double Mashed Potatoes and Popover
Meghan K.

You can always expect a decent meal at the Fratelli in the Encore Casino. We came to celebrate my birthday and had a delicious meal starting with their bread and dipping oil and the meatballs with homemade ricotta. The bread is good along with the dipping spread it comes with, we just wish the bread was warm. The meatballs and homemade ricotta were delicious, you have to dip your bread in the sauce. For the rest of our meal, we had the ravioli caprese and filet mignon with double mashed potatoes and popover. The ravioli is a classic and can't go wrong ordering it. The steak was cooked to perfection, just melts in your mouth along with the mashed potatoes. They were booked up for a Friday night, I would definitely suggest making a reservation for the weekend. As for the service, we were left waiting for a while before a server noticed us. She did not share any specials with us and seemed to rush us a bit. We had ordered a different dessert, but tiramisu was brought out. Regardless of the mistake it was still delicious!

I took my wife to Fratelli for her birthday. We had a very nice time. Everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the chicken parmesan. My wife and I will be back!

Lobster

Awesome place the bar was a good size. The restaurant was very nice casual and comfortable. The service was excellent and very friendly helpful and on top of everything. The food was excellent had meatballs for an appetizer along with oysters nice and fresh had the bone in New York sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection the lobster plates were just as good everything was perfect.

Pasta & Meatballs

I had the chance to visit Fratelli while staying at Encore Boston Harbor. Glad I snagged a reservation since it was SO busy - and sadly that resulted in slow service (but it was the holidays so understandable). I started off with the Luna cocktail which gave the vibe of a creamsicle + tequila (a bit too sweet for me). The pink grigio + caesar salad for the appetizer was actually superb, and I do call myself a caesar salad connoisseur. The caesar salad made my top 3 list of salads for 2024!! My entree was solid but didn't stand out to me flavor wise. I got the pasta & meatballs. The meatballs were a bit too dense for my liking, but the sauce was great. Another star of the show was the Famous Espresso Martini which was the perfect liquid dessert. If you are going to Encore, book a reservation here!

Came for the espresso martini and they were good! We had fast service and Fratelli's is a nice Italian restaurant in Encore. Solid ambiance and would come back to try their food.

Had the most amazing meal! Service was spectacular. Had the calamari appetizer but forgot to take a pic..Must try if you've never had it. It had shrimp, scallops and fried onion rings. For dinner I chose the Veal chop, stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese. It was to die for!! My husband had the Veal Osso Bucco that he said was delicious!. For desert I had the deconstructed tiramisu and he had the bread pudding..the perfect ending to an incredible evening. Oh and dont forget the Espresso Martini, hands down the best around!. We can't wait to go back!

Half baked lobster

Celebrating my birthday here 2024 Ordered all kinds of lobsters and king crab meat! Taste good and healthy. Ocean favors best service and fresh food. Also ordered the rock of lamb which is my favorite! My father ordered sea bass,I asked change the sauce to white bean sauce under the sea bass which is the best fish dish in the world!

Pasta on the side
Jenna K.

Wonderful dinner at Fratelli. Located in the back of the casino. The meal started with very good bread. We had meatballs for an appetizer which were great, really good sauce. The meals we had were chicken parm, brick chicken, and shrimp scampi (not on the menu as an entree but they were very accommodating). Also got a side of carrots. Everything was delicious. Really nice portion sizes.

Everything was delicious, and staff were on top of replenishing anything that ran out. Some table favorites: sausage, french toast, selection of charcuterie (brie, goat cheese, various meats), verrine of peas, beignets, and of course, the Tipsy Tower. A tower of mimosas for the table! Our server was very sweet, making sure our party was comfortable by adding an extra table for more room. The restaurant itself was quite comfortable, not too loud, and a great overall experience. 10/10, would come back again. (Details: group of 5 adults, reservation at 12:30, sat on time, there for a birthday celebration)

One of those spots was coming here for their $1 happy hr oysters from 4-6pm every day. We had dinner reservations at 8pm elsewhere so we didn't want to overeat here. Batifol has long bench-style sofas along one side of the restaurant, regular tables in the center and a sleek bar. But let's get into what really brought us through these doors... $1 oysters! She and I were already plotting on only two dozen like we had a mission to complete and be on our way out. Plans changed and we also got the escargots, a Lychee Blossom cocktail and a mocktail. The escargots came with a puff pastry top but flavor-wise, that famous garlic and butter flavor was missing. My Lychee Blossom cocktail was ok- and those famous $1 oysters? They were puny. But I get it (I think)- for a dollar a pop, what did I really expect? Huge and plump ones? Batifol has the looks, the vibe and a dollar oyster deal that'll get your attention real quick. Just don't pull up expecting jumbo oysters. I'm sure the rest of the menu might jive. Service was great from Olivia though!

A very popular, long-established Greek restaurant in Boston. Last time I walked in and was told…read morethere would be a two-hour wait, but this time I made a reservation and finally got to enjoy a delicious meal! Tiropita Rolls: Very straightforwardly delicious. The bread was warm, soft, and airy, with a rich aroma of butter and cheese; the spread was a rich blend of honey butter, and olives, sweet and delicious, perfect as an appetizer. Tzatziki: A slight disappointment. The cucumber and Greek yogurt spread was surprisingly heavy, a bit cloying, and the pickled kumquats weren't as sweet as I expected, but rather had a slightly bitter taste. The pita bread was thick and soft, probably better suited for dipping in soup--like Bourdeto--than for the spread. Bourdeto: The tomato fish soup was a pleasant surprise. The freshly caught grouper of the day was thick and tender, lightly seared to create a crispy crust. The broth was a vibrant, tangy tomato base, with onions, fennels, and red peppers contributing a sweet, layered flavor. Trahanas, fermented wheat and dairy, added richness and a smooth texture to the soup. The broth also had a slight spiciness, making it incredibly comforting on a chilly autumn day. Portokalopita: The dessert that elevated the entire meal. A traditional Greek orange phyllo, the cake, made from crumbs of phyllo pastry, becomes incredibly soft and moist after being soaked in orange syrup. Every bite was bursting with rich orange sweetness and fragrance, followed by a slightly bitter orange zest--perfectly balanced. Paired with Manouri cheese ice cream, the creamy flavor was incredibly rich and creamy, creating a harmonious and layered flavor profile.

The second time, I managed to land the location but they were closed. But the third time? It was the one! Now here's the twist: even though Gâté bakes most of its pastries in-house, they no longer make their Instagram-famous chocolate mousse there. Instead, it's made here at Zuzu's. So naturally... here we are. I couldn't leave my daughter out of this beauty- so after dinner nearby, we intentionally skipped dessert there and rushed here just before closing. Thank God we did. Zuzu's was actually closed to the public for a private event, but luckily they were still doing take out. A win is a win. Two chocolate mousses to go! And service was great even placing the order by phone. The chocolate mousse is just heavenly. Deeply rich with an intense chocolate flavor that was luxurious and comforting at the same time. Is it too forward to rate just on their chocolate mousse alone? Maybe? But so what- it's just great!
