Fratelli's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

Great food: fast, atte rice service. Appreciated their attention to our dietary restrictions. Took extra time to start us off with dairy-free bread sticks. read more

This place has good service, friendly staff, but the food is not great. The crab cakes are good, but not the best. We visited with a large party and we waited a while for our food. It was not hot and my steak had a very distinct metal taste that I have never encountered before. Their pasta was overcooked and the tomato sauce is not good. I have had a lot of Italian gravy in my life and I can always tell if a place is good by their sauce. The sauce (marinara) is very bland. Prego Four-cheese sauce is better. I also tried their Chicken Francese which was OK but not anything to rave about. I am always baffled when I see how busy they are. I guess they have a lot of regulars that are just happy with bland food. I would try another Italian option if you are looking for good Italian food. read more

The restaurant is spacious and lovely. We had a party of approximately 30 people. The manager worked on a menu that gave us choices for entrees and dessert. We started with salad and garlic and cheese bread sticks. I had the manicotti. The sauce was flavorful. The noodles were delicious. Our server worked mostly by herself. It would have been useful if she had extra help. Everyone seemed happy with their meals. There were lots of options for dessert. I had the Smith Island Strawberry cake. It was rich and delicious. The pumpkin cake was creamy and sweet. The chocolate cake was dry. The lemon blueberry looked better than it tasted. The staff did a great job at setting up the tables and menu planning. read more

A random stop on our way home from a quiet weekend. Italian food is my favorite and I wasn't feeling well so I knew rice or pasta was the way to go. We had the greatest server. She was funny, helpful, and attentive. We enjoyed all of the food. The kitchen was quick so service was quick. If we are back in the Eastern Shore area, we will definitely stop back in. read more

Crab in an Italian restaurant? Yes you can! Simply excellent food with great service.

This is an old fashioned Italian restaurant. The kind that you would see in New York or Philadelphia. Just like those places you get the free bread and a free salad on your table. We love this! It's like being welcomed into someone's home. And the food tastes authentic. Today I am here with my significant other and I just turned him onto this place and he loves it. Previous visits were with my sisters for lunch and we loved it. If you came in with a party over six they can easily seat you. They do get busy after 5 so plan ahead. They also have comfortable seating in the separate bar area. Their meatballs are huge and taste like Nonna's. Lasagna is very good. Their pasta is fresh and delightful. Service has always been very good read more

I'd go back just for those breadsticks! They are huge and awesome. I'd also go back for the crab balls. No fillers and crispy but not fried. Melt in your mouth goodness. I can't recommend the red sauce or lasagna. It tastes like tomato paste and lacks even behind any jarred sauce. Stuffed flounder was beautiful. Service was well intentioned of mostly college aged kids. More than adequate bathroom facilities. Pepsi products only which is a bummer. Coke rocks read more

Quick service, cozy atmosphere, great wine! Amazing food! Food comes out super fast, sports and lottery to entertain you at the bar. (If you didn't bring anyone to annoy i mean entertain you) read more

Their lump crab cakes are awesome!! The service was great and the cleanup after people were done was done in no time and the table reset. The service the best we have experienced! Our meals arrived quickly. We ate there the next night because of the food and service. If you have never had their lump crab cakes, you are truly missing out. No fillers. We will be back if we are in the area again. read more

We arranged a birthday lunch celebration for 20 people at Fratelli's and it was just perfect. We pre selected 4 menu options of chicken Marsala, seafood pasta (like Alfredo with large shrimp on top), eggplant Parmesan and single crab cake with side. The food was delicious, my crab cake was huge, rich and flavorful, I got green beans side that came in tomato sauce. Plus all came with Olive Garden style salad and herbed-butter breadsticks. It was more than we could eat. They brought out their A game when they selected Alyssa as our service provider. She worked our table like a champ. Fast, friendly, never forgot a request. Everyone got a drink (mostly iced teas but I saw a few cocktails and wine glasses) and the final bill was on the order of forty per head. Spectacular deal as well. I don't think we could have chosen a better location and I highly recommend this lovely local restaurant. Thanks!! read more

Fratelli's Italian Restaurant - Big family lunch birthday party - Italian Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

The food was delicious! The ambiance was perfect! Old style Italian restaurant with class in the middle of Salisbury. Pretty cool!

Great find. Drove 30 minutes to eat here and it was so worth it. My husband had the seafood platter. It had an excellent crab cake, fish, shrimp and scallops. I had the Spaghetti carbonara with chicken which was excellent. It was so rich I had to take half of it home. The meals came with a large bowl of salad to share and breadsticks. Loved the atmosphere. There was very soft low-key music playing. Service was excellent. read more

Had my birthday dinner at Fratelli's! The service and food was amazing! Our waitress Layla was very nice and attentive. We had the chicken Parmesan, crab cakes and crab pretzel for appetizer. Everything was good. I will Definitely go back. read more

Voted best Italian restaurant 10 years in a row! Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, and wonderful desserts. Let me tell you the staff is extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. The food is absolutely amazing - everything we tasted melted in other mouths. It was some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it's 100% worth it. read more

Fratelli's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

i am very dissatisfied with this restaurant. 6 of us went for lunch. One of our group didn't want his salad so he offered it to me, I accepted and only took a small portion of it. When the bill came there was a $5.00 charge on my bill for side salad. I asked the waitress why this was added, she said the owner said to add it to my bill because it wasn't my salad but yet I had some of it. Unbelievable! in all my years of going out to eat I have never seen such a money hungry place. So sad for them, they got their $5.00 and lost 6 customers. Everyone at the table was astonished that the owner would do this and said they would never return. I wish there were 0 stars because that's what they deserve. read more

They have amazing food. I love their Chicken Parm and Alfredo. Their pizza is top tier as well.

This place was so good, not a single complaint. Super clean and decorated so nice. I always love walking into a restaurant that cares about its atmosphere!!! Especially around the holidays, it was lovely seeing the little trees and Christmas decorations set up in Fratelli's! Our server, Victoria, was attentive and quick to get our food, drinks, and check in. The bread and salad came out and tasted fresh and wonderful. The bread was soft and we loved dipping it in the salad dressing!! For entrees, I ordered the penne vodka and my SO ordered spaghetti with bolognese. I am picky about my vodka sauce, and I adored Fratelli's sauce. It isn't insanely spicy, or too creamy, or too tomato-ie. The bread tastes good in it too!! :) I tried the bolognese, I am not a huge meat fan but enjoyed the bite I had of this sauce. SO are the whole thing in one sitting!! Tiramisu was creamy, sweet, and had the distinct rum and coffee tastes as well. They are not too strong!! All in all we had a great experience at Fratelli's, and I am looking forward to coming back when I am in Salisbury again! read more

Great homemade food! Great selection and has reasonable prices. Homemade pasta!! Sunday dinner. read more

Food and service were excellent. The restaurant is rustic and could use an update. Crab cakes were excellent and the price was reasonable in 2024!!! If you like bourbon, the old fashion is less than $10 which you don't see too often u less you're in happy hour. Also the desserts were excellent and very inexpensive. My wife and I loved the tiramisu, tiramisu with cheesecake, and strawberry cheesecake. Most of their desserts are homemade and you can taste it. Great place to visit to get great food. read more

Best crab cakes and pasta on the Eastern Shore! Restaurant is quaint and the servers are well trained and attentive

I went to this restaurant after a recommendation from some local friends. I was thoroughly disappointed with the service and treatment I received. My wife and I arrived before our total party of six and asked to be seated. We are all seniors so I asked to be moved to a table from a booth. The staff was not accommodating and were quite frankly rude. After the complete party arrived, we felt ignored and decided to leave. We asked to speak to the manager and we were told the manager was not there. We asked to speak to the supervisor on-site and we were told he didn't speak English. I told the staff that in all my years of travel in the 22 years I spent in the military, I had never been treated like that. Please remember you don't know who you are serving and it cost nothing to be kind! From a USAF Retired SMSgt, Disabled Veteran read more

My family loves Fratelli's but the only thing I really loved was my waitress, Megan. I had the shrimp scampi and it was very mediocre, I asked for extra sauce so I could "doctor" it up when I got home. Extra sauce will cost you $3.00. Everyone loved their crab cakes but from my previous visits they are very whatever but at least they're huge. My husband liked his lasagna and the pizza is good. overall, it's an okay choice. Just listen to the reviews and decide accordingly or you will be disappointed. read more

Insane wait times & bad management. Servers are well trained & kind & the food is great but if you can't get to a table and the manager is rude to you then that doesn't count for much. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. Whenever I'm in MD I make the time to eat here. Every single time I go, the food and service are excellent. As a former restaurant Manager myself, I watch Alyssa (Server/Manager) doing her job, while scanning the room to see who else needs help. She's literally half the reason we go. We don't even look at the menu. We just say "feed us". From appetizer to desert, she gets it right. I'm no longer afraid to try new things, thanks to her. I seriously hope she sees this review. See you soon, Alyssa! read more

Service, food, and atmosphere are all great. Every year while on vacation we go here for dinner.

Had a delicious dinner here a few nights ago. The carbornara was delicious, and my husband loved his veal parmesan. Friendly, warm wait staff did a great job even during a very busy time of day. The crowd was lively, but even packed, the restaurant felt cozy and inviting. read more

Sadly this will no longer be a go to for me and my family. We planned dinner with my parents for my step mother's birthday this evening 11/10/25 along with some of their church members. Being Seventh-day Adventist they have diet restrictions. A pizza was ordered with pineapple and green peppers but came out with pepperoni and green peppers. SDA aren't permitted to eat pork and this woman hasn't had pork in years. The pizza was sent back to have the issue corrected. Rather than making a new pizza or at very least ensuring no pepperoni was on the pizza they loaded it with pineapple and sent it back out. It was sent back a second time and was finally right on the third time being brought to the table, once everyone else was done eating. Here is where the real issue arises. When the check arrived the pizza was still on the check. I asked to speak with the manager (her name is Alyssa). She came to the table with attitude stating since another one was made she can't comp it from the check. This is unacceptable in my eyes. You fed someone an item they aren't allowed to eat and do absolutely nothing to right the wrong. On top of which you have an attitude with the entire table. Alyssa needs a stern talking to on what it means to treat customers well. No one from this table of 8 will be returning as long as she is employed there. read more

Who goes to an Italian Restaurant for crab cakes? Answer: locals who know. The Italian food is good but crab cakes are exceptional. Never would have tried it but for a local friend who gave us the tip! Worth visiting read more

We used Door Dash and had food delivered for lunch from Fratelli's. The meatball parmigiana sub for $7.00 served with French fries and choice of soup was a great price. I enjoyed the meatball sub, however, the cream of crab soup tasted of flour. All four of us agreed that the cream of crab soup was awful tasting and wished we ordered the MD crab soup. We were all shocked because Fratelli's is known for the crab cakes. My friends enjoyed bacon cheeseburger, chicken cheesesteak, and chicken pesto panini all the meals with fries and soup were under $10.00 read more

One of our favorite places. The best crab cake I have ever had!!! If you are in the area give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Fratellis was highly recommended by the local hotel staff. I was told fantastic homemade pasta and awesome seafood. Okay that got my attention. In reality though, I was greatly disappointed ! I ordered the Seafood Alfredo, only change the sauce to Vodka Sauce; waitress was no problem... Kudos for accommodating customer tastes. It came with salad and bread sticks. Waitress informed me that the dressing was house made Italian. I will admit that the dressing was tasty; the only problem was the the salad was way over dressed. We are talking that the veggies were all swimming in the dressing. Warm raised yeast dough bread sticks with garlic butter brushed across the middle of them. The bread sticks really needed the garlic butter as the bread sticks tasted as if there was no salt added to the dough. The whipped garlic butter was amazing though!!! Yum!!! My pasta looked amazing, but that's where amazing stopped. My linguini was way overcooked and mushy. The Vodka Sauce was flat; the fresh shredded cheese, salt nor pepper helped it. The seafood was fresh, 4 large shrimp, 4 large scallops, and a scattering of lump crab meat. Again seasoning and texture were the issues. Those beautiful scallops could have been amazing if they had been seasoned and then seared before placing on the dish; instead they were mushy (searing would have given them texture) and they got lost in the bland mushy linguine. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, but again no seasoning. The few large lumps of crab were tasty, but the rest got lost. I really wanted to like this place; I love house made pasta. Overcooking linguini is the ultimate sin for pasta. I really liked the house Cabernet (Copper ridge), and it was a good pour. The food had potential to be a knockout, but it only earned 1 star and that's pushing it. One additional star for the waitress. read more

This was the best food and service I've had post pandemic. My mom passed a few years ago and my daughter and I came here to have a wonderful meal in her memory. She was even there with us - I carry her ashes around my neck. Fratelli's was her FAVORITE!!!! The pasta melted in my mouth and they balsamic glaze was out of this world. My friend said her seafood dish was amazing as well. The salad was so fresh. I could go on for days about our waitress, Jennifer D., who made sure I found a meat free dish I enjoyed. She should be commended. Our drinks were always topped off and she checked on us. It makes my heart soar that this establishment takes such pride in their work. My mom, Kristy, was there in spirit eating her eggplant parmesan THANK YOU!!!! read more

Fratelli's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

Maybe it was a busy "Off" night.. first we err told "5 to 10" minutes wait that ended up to be a half hour...we finally got seated.. the waitress was hustling on the floor among all the tables she had...she did take our order and got the drinks, salad and bread sticks out very fast.. about 20 mins later out entrees came out.. My wife ordered shrimp Alfredo with angel hair... her order came out with fettuccine.. it as returned..I ordered chicken Francesca ...I had better.. chicken breast was lightly breaded, but the Fettuccine noodles were like mush... The sauce was overpowering with too much lemon juice..As sour aftertaste...The only thing is that was good...the chicken tenders with french fries that our five-year-old had. read more
