If you have been in Naples you know what a neopolitan pizza is...soft dough, fresh ingredients and wood oven....made me feel inside grandma's kitchen, it is not just food it is memory and pleasure of great food. Grazie Mille Fratam
The crust is a conduit for clouds of carby goodness, and watching it emerge from the grand and gorgeous mosaic oven is a feast for the eyes. With the pizza chef being from Naples, the birthplace of pizza, it's no wonder that they are giving authentic Italian realness. The lasagna was tasty, but needed more sauce - it was finished in the oven, making it a little dry. The waiter was young, enthusiastic and had the most charming Sicilian accent. Beautiful restaurant with big windows and an unobtrusive TV showing the World Cup. It's a win win!
How this new establishment has such high ratings is beyond me. The food is bland, the pizza is greasy, soggy and frankly unexeptible and not to mention expensive. Hard pass.
Came here on a Saturday night at about 8:30p. Street parking was easy and we didn't have to wait. There was a table with quite a large Italian family. When you hear Italian and it's a family, I don't doubt this place is a legit Italian restaurant The atmosphere was great & the service was great. The beet salad was amazing. I ordered the burrata pizza and my friend ordered some kind of rib meat pizza. He said his was really good. My burrata pizza was delicious. I would come back again. Highly recommend.
So happy to discover this place for their delicious and fabulous pizza. Very much close to Tony's of North Beach for their Margherita pizza which we absolutely love. Friendly and attentive service. They also have some appetizers and a few entrees on their dinner menu. I do think their Beef Carpaccio should be sliced more thin, but nonetheless it was delicious. We are definitely coming back to try more and so happy it's in Marin.
I've been wanting to try this Italian place ever since they were remodeling, and I'm so glad I finally did. It just opened up in San Rafael, and honestly--it was really, really good. They make their pizzas completely from scratch, and you can actually see this beautiful, mesmerizing oven in action, which adds to the whole experience. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and many of them are from Italy, which made it feel even more authentic. I really loved the beet salad--it was flavorful, fresh, and a great balance to the pizza. If I had to do anything differently next time, it would be ordering more pizza. One pizza is basically the equivalent of four slices, and it goes faster than you expect. Lesson learned. The pizzas range from about $17-$25, which felt fair for the quality, and everything we tried was delicious. I'll definitely be back, and next time, I'm not holding back on the pizza order.
We've now eaten here twice, with two wildly different experiences based on how crowded it was (though the food and service was always first rate). The first time was on my birthday, on a Tuesday at 4:30pm. Not surprising that there wasn't much of a crowd, and the noise level was minimal. We had such wonderful support from the staff! We brought our own cake, and the hostess immediately offered to take it to the back and put it in their large refrigerator. For the six of us, we ended up ordering too much food, so had some wonderful leftovers for the following day. I think we ordered 4 pizzas (including the Genovese with short ribs, Marechiaro with eggplant, a kids pizza in the shape of Mickey Mouse, and I think a cheese pizza), some apps (Brussels sprouts), a Lasagna, and an Eggplant Parmigiana. Service was fast (and we loved being able to watch them make the pizzas), and we loved everything except the Brussels sprouts -- too soggy, not enough flavor). When it was time for dessert, we were about to request they bring the cake back so we could cut it up. Instead, out came the entire staff with the cake, candles lit (we brought the candles), and I enjoyed a serenade of Happy Birthday from all. Way beyond expectations. Then last Friday evening we returned with two friends to share this wonderful find with them. We were aiming for 5:30, but didn't make it there until 5:45. Wow, so different. The place was packed, with every table taken and a line of several people before us. We could have opted to sit outside in their heated area, but the line was moving fast enough that we waited for an indoor table. It took about 15 minutes. We were seated in the far corner, but the noise level was still very high, and we had to shout to each other to be heard. Food was just as good as the last time, as was the service (except for one misstep at the end when we had to remind our server that one of us was still waiting for an espresso). My wife and I shared the Fungo (wild mushrooms) pizza. SOOO GOOD! This time we didn't bring our own dessert, so got to sample their Profiteroles and their Cannoli special. Very pleased with both. So, next time, we'll try to arrive earlier and on a weekday (though I have a feeling that even weekdays will eventually be packed). But this is now our favorite Neapolitan pizza place in Marin.
The pear, bacon and cheese pizza without tomato sauce may sound odd, but let me assure you that it is heavenly. The smoky crust and sweet pears are incredible with the salty bacon! Amazing tiramisu. Great ambience and service. A regular favorite.
Finally was able to try the new addition to the neighborhood! & it was yummy!! We walked in and were greeted shortly after arriving and were sat immediately. The restaurant was busy, so we weren't approached for about 10-15min by the staff. They don't have their full rotating beer menu yet but we told it would be there shortly. After ordering our beers, I caught on the menu that you have to ask for the complimentary bread. I personally didn't like this and wish it was offered verse having to ask for it. Especially cause it's in small font and can easily be missed by a customer. & it's a shame because the bread was absolutely fabulous! Our pizza was also very good and the house chili oil was great! After a while the restaurant did get packed and I will say, when fully booked inside, it feels very tight. People's chairs are hitting on another, it's hard for servers to walk between and around customers. If you want to avoid that, I suggest going earlier than later. Overall a great pizza spot. Great date night spot. We will be back because the food was delicious and the staff was friendly.
Checked this place out with my friends and kids. So glad we went! Service, food, and ambiance were great. We arrived a little before 1pm on a Sunday and it still had plenty of seating. I think it's because it's still new. Each of us got to try a different pizza. I definitely want to come here many times so I can try out the appetizers and other offerings. My kids really liked the pizza and ate the crust. I really liked my Margherita pizza and the bread. I saw someone with the lasagna and it looked delicious. The others enjoyed their pizza too and would come again. This is a great family spot or date spot!
We had such a great time visiting Fratm in downtown San Rafael. We chose to dine in the outside patio - it was good vibes and good conversations out there. Our pizza was incredible - soft and crisp and extremely fresh. Bubbles were great and the Dessert was lovely. We got great service and had great conversations with everyone we spoke to. 10/10 highly recommend a pizza date at Fratm - regular pizza chains could never come close to this!
Outstanding pizza and service! I wasn't overly impressed with the tiramisu but the pizza and beet salad were AMAZING!
FRATM signature pizza is a must try item in the menu. Best pizza since trip to Florence early this year so far. Crust was perfectly thin dry crust but airy and chewy bite inside. Duck and smoked salmon small plates as appetizers were excellent. Friendly service w a great smile greeting from Santos was top rated. Asked him about Risotto during winter. Santos said it will be on their menu during winter. Very good ambiance for family, friends and date nights. Absolutely returning to try Octopus small plate and Risotto on my next visit.

Fratm is a little slice of Italy! The space is inviting and thoughtfully put together, with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and enjoy the moment. What truly makes it special is the hospitality. The team's kindness, courtesy, and welcoming smiles make you feel right at home. Beautiful pizza, a charming setting, and people who care about their guests. Compliments to the whole team I look forward to coming back! Ciao a presto read more

Thank you Gina
I really wanted to love this place. The reviews I read were mixed and I was hoping my experience would match more of the positive ones. It did not. Met a friend for a late Sunday lunch. Lots of staff and all were very friendly and welcoming. Because the pizzas come in only one size, we ordered two margherita pizzas. They were served in under 10 minutes, maybe closer to 5. While the short wait was nice, the pies were not really hot, like one would expect sitting so close to the kitchen. The crust was good, but the middle was a little cold and soggy. Seating was very comfortable. I'm not sure I will return. read more

Nice place with great service and a welcoming atmosphere. The food is a bit on the pricey side, but the ingredients tasted fresh and the pizza was very good. The lasagna had great flavor as well, although the top was slightly burnt in one side. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. read more

This place is the bomb, best vegan pizza I ever had. The cool thing is, it's not trying to be a cheese pizza, it's in a class of its own. My non vegan friends loved it too, and their other 'traditional' pizzas. To top it off they have reasonably priced Italian wines by the glass from Piedmont and Tuscany. read more
