    Half chicken Alfredo and half lasagna
    Chanel A.

    This is my go-to spot when I'm too tired to cook and craving a creamy, carb heavy meal. As a fast, casual pasta spot, there a few tables for dine in but we usually order our pasta to-go. The chicken Alfredo is a must have. I appreciate that they put in a bit of spinach so can I feel a bit healthier with my giant plate of pasta. If you're feeling extra hungry, you can even order it as a half alfredo, half lasagna.

    I first saw this place on social media and knew I had to try next time I was in the area. I saw the guy order a shrimp Alfredo and they didn't exactly have it on the menu but the guy working said he'll make it for me. They seem to be very accommodating with what's on the menu. Great service and willing to provide recommendations. The food was good and portions were huge! It was definitely 2 meals for me. I would definitely come back again. The shop is a little small and tucked away in a small center. A little easy to miss but I was able to find it fine with GPS. There's free parking in the lot.

    Misty Combo (Chicken Fratelli and Lasagna)

    Probably some of the best Italian on the Westside! If you love and miss JP Spaghetti in Wahiawa, Fratelli Express in Waipahu is pretty similar. No frills, walk up to order, but you get fresh Italian pasta dishes served in takeout boxes. Hubby and I finally had lunch here a few months ago after I heard rave Yelp and Instagram reviews from TOWNIES. You know when townies are willing to make a drive to Waipahu for food, that says something. We shared the "Misty Combo," a combo plate of the Chicken Fratelli and Lasagna. Sauces and meats were flavorful and the pasta was cooked al dente! Funny that either rice or linguine are options for dishes...really catering to the local community, I see lol. We washed our lunch down with their refreshing plantation iced tea. When I'm craving Italian from home near Waipahu, but don't feel like cooking, Fratelli Express hits the spot! Love that they're BYOB and their operating hours are great (makes for a great, simple date night), but they're closed Mondays. Find them next to Nanding's Bakery!

    The food, price, and portions are all good. I came because I thought pasta plate lunch was funny, but it is better than some more expensive places. They have been open for a year and 3 months so far. Very good place that I will come back to. Service is good, but the inside is very mom and pop. It is warm, but they said most of their orders are pick up. Ample parking. The inside is quiet.

    Hicken Alfredo and Garlic bread is sooo good.

    Great experience! We ordered 5 different dishes and honestly they were all amazing!! The fish was cooked perfectly, the meatballs are homemade, but what took the cake is the Alfredo and Garlic Bread!!! Must get must try!!! I knew there was something special with this place when they knew exactly what I meant by pink sauce. My entree was amazing!! Simplicity to perfect pasta!

    Ordered through DoorDash. Generous, garlicky shrimp scampi! Buttery grilled garlic bread. So happy to receive this quality meal so close to closing. Mahalo!

    NY steak and shrimp scampi combo
    Barrie H.

    Small hole in the wall restaurant in the old Cho Dang spot next to Nandings in Waipahu. This was our first time here and it wasn't bad, honestly. Friendly service and average prices, food was hit and miss. We read the raving reviews and maybe our expectations were too high which explains the slight disappointment in some of our choices. We ordered the chicken alfredo and lasagna combo ($20.90) and a NY steak and shrimp scampi combo ($26.90). Food came out relatively quick - but we were the only diners at this time so hard to say if this is the norm. There were lots of to-go orders though. Best dish: The alfredo sauce was good! Creamy, cheesy, seasoned well and served over linguine noodles with pieces of chicken. The lasagna looked to be a good size and it was cheesy but... The sauce had a strong tomato forward taste and was not our favorite. Kinda bummed since we really like lasagna.. just not this one. The NY steak was covered in mushrooms and onions with a red wine demi glace. I asked for medium rare and it came closer to medium. The steak could've used some seasoning, even though its sitting in the sauce, the lack of savoriness was noticeable. The scampi came with 4 shrimp and choke garlic and was served on linguine noodles. The butter was on the bottom under the noodles so it was much better if you mixed the noodles first. Bread does not come with the plates, so don't forget to order it like we did. And no, they don't do cheesy garlic bread. Overall we give this place a 3.25 out of 5 . Try it, you may like it.

    Ravioli
    Rayne U.

    Popped in on a late afternoon to an empty store. Greeted by friendly employees who didn't make us feel rushed. Placed our order and ran next door to grab some baked goodies from Nandings bakery. There are about 5 tables in various sizes to easily sit 25-30 people. Clean, organized dining area. Ravioli consisted of about a dozen pieces swimming in a juicy tomato sauce. Simple but enough to hit the spot. Seafood combo had clams, mussels, shrimp & calamari rings over linguine. Chunks of garlic but it still seemed a little watery which may have contributed to some of the lack in flavor. Lots of menu options that I'll be back to try! Oh... and they packaged our to go meals great!

    Love this place. It's a hidden gem with amazing Italian food. Stopped here with my wife after a doctor's appointment and found this very friendly restaurant. The food was oh so tasty - the fried ravioli was soooo good. Coming back again to try other combinations

    Bro- be sure to check this place out!!!

    Wow! Excellent! Simply excellent! I've never been a big lasagna person ( cray I know) but I am now, as long as its Fratelli's lasagna! The wonderful meat sauce with ricotta. To die for! Ordered the misty special so came with chicken basilio. Very garlicky and a little on the dry side but just swish it in your lasagna sauce and you are in pasta heaven! The garlic bread- crispy outside with soft center. Pan fried. Truly perfect! Mom had the shrimp portabella. The portion was huge, which made her very happy. Large and generous with the shrimp and veggies on linguine tossed in a white wine (?) sauce. Addictive! One man show on the day we were there so short 5-10 min wait but all orders done with care. Very nice man who was working hard. We will be back to try many of the great choices.

    CK carbonara and lasagna combo
    Zaneta O.

    Got to try dis place yesterday. I tried da combo lasagna and chicken carbonara combo. Mom and Aunty both got shrimp portobello because they wanted "vegetables". Anywho, the carbonara was creamy and cheesy. Yum. I only ate that half and ate the lasagna half later at home, which was equally as good. Mom and Aunty loved their food but ended up eating only half because they gave so much. I think the guy that took our order was the cook as well and he was very patient with the nana's I had with me cuz they couldn't make up their mind. Cozy space where you can eat order at the counter and find a table. The food came fast. If in the area I would come here again.

    Garlic Bread
    Kevin W.

    Fratelli Express our Go To place for delicious Italian food. The owner and his staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Food is prepared Fresh and Hot. They have a small cozy dining room, take out is definitely an option. We tried their signature dish Chicken Fratelli. Chicken prepared with garlic, roasted peppers, pepperoni, capers, and mushrooms in a white wine sauce. Simply delicious . Also ordered the Lasagna and a side of garlic bread. The Lasagna was awesome. Love the melted cheese on top. And of course you have to have bread or garlic bread when you're eating pasta. Fratelli's makes some really good bread. Freshly baked and served piping hot.

Top it off with strawberry mochi ice cream n green tea ice cream The food here is always great n tasty. Our server Bailey is awesome n she was on top of it with great customer service and very polite and friendly with a smile. The place was packed n busy as well. Parking was still good. The place is clean n bathroom are clean too. One of our favorite place to eat like home cooked meals. Thanks again for the great service n food.

    Local Japanese spot over in Waipahu. Lots of parking out front and plent of seating inside. Service…read moreis good. As for the prices, expensive. I think their specialties are the sizzling plates, as nearly everyone here was ordering them. That should've been my first clue to do the same. But, as stated, pricey. I was hungry, but not that hungry. Ordered the following: - Special saimin - 5/10: this looked a lot better than it tasted and it was on the cheaper side of the menu. The broth was good, but the noodles were lukewarm and a bit mushy. And they give you a really small portion for what you're paying for. The meats (pork and chicken) were especially tough and chewy. At any rate, people seem to love it here and maybe it's because of the sizzling plates. So, if you do come here, get them.
