I completely understand why people say they love Fratellino's so much. This isn't just service it's the true definition of hospitality. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like you've known them forever. There's such a genuine warmth and care that makes the entire experience feel special. The bruschetta is honestly the best I've ever had. Awesome garlic flavor and so fresh and flavorful. The spaghetti Bolognese was incredible as well, rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. A place where you feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely appreciated as a guest. read more

This is the true definition of what a bistro is supposed to feel like. Unpretentious and welcoming with no frills. Small, cozy, simple and casual. The menu is concise, to the point and mainly focused on traditional and/or comfort food in this case Italian. I can't believe I had it saved for so many years but today I got to experience some of the best food I've had in the city with the most remarkable service ever. This is a family owned restaurant and as a customer I felt as family too. Beto, the owner, makes you feel like part of his extended family from the moment you step foot in the joint and all throughout your culinary adventure. I hadn't made reservations and he made sure to find me a table for one even though it was super busy at the time. He also recommended a few dishes but ultimately convinced me to try one of the chef's specials which I've been talking about till this day. His staff is also very attentive and diligent. Having said that let me break down what I ate with a nice chilled glass of wine: Antipasto: Burratina...Fresh homemade burrata mozzarella on top of thin slices of prosciutto, basil and extra-virgin olive oil. Served with roasted red peppers and tomatoes. All fresh and with high quality ingredients without a doubt. I wanted something light before the pasta and this was very filling so I couldn't finish it but... Entre: Chef's special...Pappardelle Patagonia. Green flat homemade noodle with vodka sauce, Italian sausage, pancetta, mushrooms and fresh herbs. This was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life. Perfectly cooked "al dente" with a creamy vodka sauce that'd have you wanting to lick the damn plate. That Italian sausage was also so divine and they don't skimp on portions or ingredients. I'm glad Beto suggested this one instead of the Pappardelle Italian sausage. Dolci: cheesecake. I have no idea how I still had a little bit of room for dessert after that feast but this cheesecake was all worth it. Not overly sweet and very rich and velvety. This is arguably one of the best Italian joints in town. Just delicious Italian comfort food made with love and excellent service to got with it. Beto offered an espresso to end this extraordinary meal. He takes the time to go to every table and make sure customers are taken care of and that's what makes the difference. These are the type of restaurants that leave a lasting impression on their patrons and make them come back time after time. read more

I'm giving this restaurant 3.5 stars because even though the food was delicious, the service was not as great as I would've liked. It was a Friday evening and we did not have reservations but we were still seated. The staff told us that we would be timed and had to give up the table within an hour of being seated because they had a reservation coming in around that time. We agreed that it was fine as long as they were able to serve us our food within that time. Parking was a mission of course because most places in Miami are not easy to find parking for. I parked in a garage behind the restaurant but if you're lucky/patient/not in a rush you can probably find street parking. The food was pretty good. I would recommend this restaurant if looking for decent Italian food in the area. I also would come back if someone invited me or suggested an outing at this restaurant. The only other downside to this visit sadly had to do with the service. At one point as the sun was setting, my seat was the only one on the terrace with no shade, and the sun was B L A Z I N G and obviously very bright. And it was directly in my line of sight, and at one point I could not take it anymore and kindly asked one of the employees if it would be okay to move the umbrella in a slightly different angle so it could also offer me some shade. He declined my request and said it could not be moved because then the other guests would be uncomfortable. After a few minutes he realized that the other guests were also being affected because obviously as the sun is setting the light is moving and the umbrella is no longer serving its purpose, and then he moved the umbrella and fixed the issue. read more

This place has so many reviews that it really doesn't need mine but let me just say it was fantastic. Beto, the guy who runs everything, is so friendly and attentive. Everyone seems to know him. Antipasto salad so fresh and flavorful and beautifully presented. I'm always hesitant to get linguine con vongole because the only place that does it perfectly is Dante and Luigi's in Philly. But this was a 9/10. Fantastic. Husband had special papperadelli with Italian sausage. Pasta cooked perfectly. read more

Came here during lunch time. Parking will be paid street parking or garage nearby. The staff was great and attentive during my visit. Not busy during lunch time when I went. The bread at the beginning of great. The appetizer which was like a breaded cheese was good. I really enjoyed the chicken parm with a side of pasta. They were accommodating and is not huge but has inside and outside sitting. I would definitely come back for the bread service and chicken parm with pasta. read more

I definitely recommend making a reservation because this place is fairly small and fills up quickly during dinner time. Our waiter was very attentive and all the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting Italian food! read more

Clearly, the best place for pasta! The lobster ravioli was to die for and let's not forget they're famous lasagna which no one can come close to. I really missed my favorite place on the mile great I got a chance to dine on a rainy Wednesday evening. BETO with his hospitality kicks it out of the ballpark. Try it out for yourselves you will not be disappointed! read more

Fratellino is a small, authentic Italian restaurant in Coral Gables with great food. I imagine it must get pretty packed during season. We liked our waiter who was friendly and helpful. We tried the tricolor salad which was fresh and excellent, and fried provolone in a delicious orange sauce with oregano and peas - also very tasty. For mains, we tried the spaghetti bolognese because I'm a sucker for a great bolognese with the hearty red sauce and a delicious sliced sausage home made pasta dish which I believe was one of the specials. Great wine by the glass list to select from. To finish it off, we went with the traditional tiramisu, which I can't resist at a good Italian restaurant. read more

A very small amount of sea bass, potatoes fried, broccoli raw. The fish was fine, but the amount of fish, and the simplicity of the sides, were not in the same league of being worth the price. I would think at this price, there would be some more generous portions or more carefully prepared in some way. Was not a wise spend of funds. read more

All this was just amazing between the lasagne, the filet mignon risotto and the spedino in vodka sauce. The owner, oh the owner! What a man he is! He's sure to make every single one of his guests feel more at home, or happier. Plus he made an incredible apple tart for dessert free of charge! Would really love to go back. read more

Excellent food and great vibe. Pastas are the best. Great carpaccio too. The service was amazing. read more

An amazingly warm and memorable experience! As soon as you are seated, they welcome you with a complimentary glass of Prosecco, and finish your meal with house-made Limoncello and candied lemon. The space is small but incredibly intimate and romantic, with service that treats you like family. read more

Let's start by saying the food and service was good. The restaurant is a bit small and gets busy fast. The fresh pasta is excellent. However, shrimps in pesto pasta were a bit overcooked. Also, amatriciana lacked spiciness and carbonara was made with cream... Italian authenticity is not what you get here. read more

This is a small restaurant. It has a very nice well-rounded menu. We started with fried calamari and octopus. Delicious!

Amazing experience! So wonderful! Can't recommend Fratellino enough. Call in advance to get reservations. Beto the owner is super helpful and welcoming! The menu is extensive and impressive! However, we both ended up getting the specials. The filet mignon risotto was incredible, as was everything else. The fresh bread when you arrive was perfect and our octopus appetizer was amazing!! The food was wonderful but the hospitality was 10/10. We were brought wine, dessert, and digestifs and felt at home. Completely a family friendly environment- not so romantic per se but very warm and welcoming. A must do in coral gables! I understand the hype! read more

Loved this place! Came here for lunch and it did not disappoint! It's a small, cute restaurant that has indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside. They brought out this warm loaf of bread that was soft and fluffy on the inside with a nice crunchy crust on the outside and it was served with a small bowl of diced tomatoes mixed with olive oil and a little bit of garlic. I could of had just that and be happy and satisfied. I love a good bolongese and could not resist ordering it. The pasta was a little bit over cooked for me but that sauce was delicious. Very rich and meaty. I can't wait to come back and check out the rest of the menu! read more

Fratellino delivers classic Italian flavors with a touch of elegance. The pasta is fresh, the sauces are rich without being heavy, and the service is attentive and personal, making you feel like a valued guest. It has that neighborhood charm where you could easily become a regular. What could be better: The space is on the smaller side, so it can feel crowded, and parking in the area can sometimes be tricky. read more

We had a lovely dining experience. To start, the owner called ahead of time to let me know we would be at the table closest to the door. I have never had a restaurant call in advance just to let me know what to expect, felt like they cared before we even arrived. The table location was certainly not a problem, definitely enough space and not much traffic as it's a smaller restaurant. We were served warm bread and diced tomatoes, soooo good, able to make your own bruschetta essentially. We then shared the eggplant and burratina--both fantastic (and I don't even usually like eggplant!). For mains we had the veal parm, carbonara, agnolotti, and salmon--each dish was excellent, everyone loved their choice. The carbonara was tasty, though worth noting it's made with cream rather than the traditional style. The entree portions were large which I appreciate, we all took home leftovers. The owner was a gem, one of those people who instantly makes you feel like you've known him forever, so friendly, welcoming, and fun. Between the amazing food and genuine hospitality, this is a place you can't wait to return to. Highly recommend! read more

Great host, great food, great service, all in one place. A must do while in Miami, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome service and excellently prepared authentic Italian cuisine. And the deserts were to die for.

During our last day in Miami, my friend and I wanted to have a nice dinner. We had walked around the miracle mile neighborhood a couple days prior and really liked the night scene since it's calm and classy so we decided to try this place for dinner based on reviews. We did not make reservations since we decided a couple hours before but, the owner himself sat us down at any table outside and treated us like queens. The bread we were given as a starter was incredible, especially with the finely diced tomato topping that went with it. I forgot the name of the dish I chose but it was a special and had green fettucine with shitake mushrooms, Italian sausage, and peas (I don't think these were supposed to be included but I had no problem with them) all dressed in vodka sauce. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was tasty with a nice balance of savory and creamy. There was a generous amount of everything, so each bite was packed with flavor. Since we were leaving the next day, I couldn't pack any of it to go, but the serving size was definitely bigger than my appetite especially after the bread. My friend ordered the lasagna and it looked, smelled, and tasted good as well. The owner is very high energy, and went around to each table cracking jokes, getting to know people, and just trying his best to make you feel at home. I would highly recommend! Note: There is street parking for about $2.50 an hour or garage parking for a lot more I assume. read more

Six stars. Had a 50th birthday dinner on my first visit. Immediately treated like a regular upon sitting down. My son couldn't stop eating their pre-meal bread and bruschetta. Pasta was clearly homemade and outstanding. We had lasagna, pappardelle, rigatoni. Also, their Gorgonzola filet was perfect - as good as a steakhouse. Kitchen was very flexible with modifications. Small place with outdoor seating but very clean. Great for a date or a special event. Already looking forward to coming back. read more

I am devastated I've lived in Miami for so long without coming here sooner. My husband took me here recently to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary and it simply did not disappoint. We tried the carpaccio, the carbonara, the ossobuco, and ended with the apple tart - and we simply did not have a bad bite all evening. Service was also exceptional. The owner stopped by several times to check in on us - and our water and wine was never empty. It is exceptionally dangerous that they are on UberEats - but I cannot wait to go back in person and try more of their delicious looking menu! read more
