such amazing food! lasagna tastes exactly as if grandma would make it! the lasagna is #1 for sure!

Visited Frittella during a visit to Bryan/College Station and was pleasantly surprised. I was a big fan of the Chicken Puttanesca dish, very savory with that tomato sauce packed with olives, capers, mushrooms and garlic. Maybe I was too hungry but it honestly is one of my favorite Italian dishes I've tried and belongs in the "clean plate club" for me. The pasta itself with marinara was just okay, but it worked well with the chicken dish. The soup I ordered was a miss (minestrone) it didn't feel like it was fresh and more like a canned soup feel. We came on a late Saturday lunch, and the restaurant was fairly empty. The service was friendly, the waitress even moved some tables allowing our entire group to sit together. The restaurant has a bit of dated decor and lighting. Decent parking lot and there's a drive-thru option as well. The food was pretty good overall, surprising for me and I'd even rank it above several Italian spots I've been to in Houston. read more

Absolutely amazing! We had my son's A&M graduation lunch there. They were able to accommodate my very restricted diet and make it taste wonderful. I had a chicken breast and broccoli sautéed in olive oil with onion and garlic. It was exactly what I needed and perfectly cooked. If we weren't living an 8 hour drive away we would make Fritella a regular goto place to eat. Highly recommended. Ten stars! And a special thanks to Tracy, who made it all happen seamlessly and smoothly! Yum! read more

Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered: Spinach Artichoke Dip w/ Breadsticks: a little bland, but delicious. More spinach than artichoke. The breadsticks has a softer texture and paired with the dip. Pasta Carbonara: tasted ok, nothing special about it. Lasagna/Cannelloni Combination: lasagna was very delicious. Probably one of the best that I've ever tasted in my life. The Cannelloni was my first and it too, was very flavorful. Margherita Pizza: I was pretty bummed that it was a thin crust instead of those puffy pizzas. The cheese, sauce, and toppings slipped right off the crust and was very messy to eat so a fork was definitely needed. It does have an awesome flavor though. Chicken Piccata: more lemony than what I'm used to, but still very delicious. Cannoli: I wasn't a fan of cannolis, but this one was pretty damn delicious. Overall, food was a bit bland, but nothing a little salt and/or Parmesan cheese can't fix. I would definitely come back to try other popular dishes. Prices are decent for the portion you get. Our waitress, Mia was very friendly and helpful. She recommended all the popular dishes. Lots of tables to dine at and lots of parking. The restaurant is older looking and could use some touch up. read more

Visited this restaurant few days ago while passing by Tamu. We ordered bruschetta, margarita pizza, fettuccine Alfredo and manicotti. Everything was good. I feel it could have used a little bit more salt. The ambience was good. The staff were nice. read more

The service was amazing but the food was very subpar. The chicken tasted like it was frozen and the pasta carbonara had very little flavor. We were expecting a more authentic experience. read more

Brought my son and his girlfriend here for something different. I read reviews about their pasta and that didn't disappoint. Absolutely loved the manicotti. However there was nothing else. No bread unless we ordered the appetizer. Which hands down love their take on garlic bread. No salad offered. That was strange just to get 2 pieces of manicotti. Son says the chicken parm was good (I don't eat chicken, so I take his word) his girlfriend however asked for a Caesar Salad with chicken. They brought over a small dish with unseasoned chicken and left. We asked for the salad and the waiter said she could make it herself at the salad bar. This was never explained to us. Of course there was only our table and one other at 3 in the afternoon and it's a strange time of day. Maybe they just wasn't expecting such a busy time. I will visit again, maybe if just for a later dinner to see if there is a difference in atmosphere. read more

Frittella Italian Cafe - Manicotti - Italian Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Fritters Italian Cafe was a very middle of the road experience for my husband and I. The venue itself is a bit confusing. Harsh white lighting with visible drink dispenser in the front half made it feel a bit cafeteria like. We were here for a date night without the kids, so we requested to sit in the dimmer lit dining room behind. Unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed our mixed drinks. Mine tasted too strongly of liqueur and I decided to kindly request it be sent back. My chicken dish was fine. The sauce was a bit of a watery tomato flavor and I enjoyed the olives. My fettuccine was run of the mill. I think fresh ground pepper and Parmesan could have elevated it a little and it was severely missing salt. My husband's eggplant parm was quite soggy. However, we were disappointed in the garlic bread the most. It was described as fresh bread loaded with fresh garlic. As pictured, I would compare it to the Texas Brand toast you can buy in the freezer section. We did eat all of our food as we were starving when we arrived, and we don't believe in letting food go to waste, but we decided to venture elsewhere for dessert. Our server was mostly transactional. He never checked on us once we got our food until it was time for the check, but no harm no foul. Overall, we had an okay experience. read more

An old school Italian experience! Homemade sauce. Homemade pasta. Homemade bread. Homemade meatballs. And it's all sooo good! Had the lasagna and cannelloni combo.

The server was attentive when at the table, but the majority of the staff were very loud and unprofessional. The food was okay, would not eat there again. At one point, the kitchen staff along with a server were complaining about something smelling bad in the kitchen, going as far to making gagging sounds. At this point, I could not finish my meal. We found this restaurant through social media and were very disappointed. read more

The Food is amazing and delicious. The Service is out Standing and the ambiance provided the old world charm to the dining Experience.

We took the team here for a meal on our first full day in College Station. The owners came out and introduced themselves and told us what their specialties were. Everything that they told us about was delicious. I had the lobster ravioli and it was some of the best ravioli I've had ever. The bread sticks are unconventional and delicious. read more

The fried fritella was delicious and very filling. The service is excellent and the owner is very polite and friendly.

The place was relatively clean. It was fairly lively and pretty well lit. Service for food was fast and didnt wait too long for any of the courses. I found the lasagna to be alright and the fritella wasnt what I expected it to be. It was pretty empty, almost like a giant pizza roll. read more

Yesterday I was take to lunch at Frittella Italian Cafe. One of the tip takers University and travel south so you can make a right turn when you arrived at the restaurant. If you try to make a left the median wouldn't let you. They have lunch specials. I ordered Lasagna and ice tea. It comes with a salad. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. This a great for lunch or dinner. We enjoy our experience. read more

My parents loved your restaurant. The one and only time that I have visited your restaurant was during happy hour. I was there with my wife, my 79 year old mother and 50 year old special needs brother. We asked for a regular table because he is uncomfortable at a bar height table. There are none in the bar area; we recognized this and simply requested a table in the empty dining room area. We're told that area is not open yet. We left. Have not returned and do not plan on returning. read more

Hole in the wall but amazing food! I was skeptical at first but it did not disappoint.

The service is great and they are very attentive and very helpful and knowledgeable about the food and the dishes they make. Love the bread sticks! The atmosphere is very nice and calming. Love to spend time with friends and family at Frietellas! read more

The food has always been good. The service has always been great. Ambiance is what you want when you think Italian Food. The owner checks in with every table. I recently read where someone said the number of Stars was not related to the numbe of $$$. So you could have a $ restaurant with 5 Stars, or you could have a $$$$ restaurant that only rates 2 stars. That being said, in it's price point, Frittella definitely rates 5 stars from me. I don't live there, and don't get to go often. When I am in town, it always gets serious consideration. read more

Went there on the busy A &M big game...had a difficult time finding someone to take our reservation. When we pulled up (Uber). There were maybe 2 cars in the lot. Nobody in the restaurant and 2 tables in the bar. The hostess was just sitting there doing needlework, the started brushing her hair and then pulled out a pick and started cleaning her teeth!! The waitress was sweet, said the dinner rolls would be out soon but never came. The water came from a soda fountain as well as the ice when it clunked and dropped out of the machine. As we looked around it was clear that this was an old Taco Bell!! The food was mediocre and we watched the staff taking about the customers that have recently came in and never tipped them and talked trash about them. Coming from the restaurant business (owning 2). All I was thinking is where is the management and the owner obviously doesn't care....pretty sad....Don't waste your time or money on this dump! read more

We got lobster ravioli, nozze chicken and ham Frittella. Everything was great! Food was ready at designated time, staff was friendly. Definitely will return when back in town! read more

A quiet pleasant location that can sit small and large parties. We had a group of 5 and sat in a wrap around booth with enough space to keep our children from fighting :) We got the calamari, spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti, and the chicken parm with fettuccine and meat sauce. Ok. This place is amazing! The attention to detail of their waiters and waitresses is a result of excellent coaching and training. My only recommendation is to teach the staff to make recommendations. They could easily upsell. With food that good, the upselling would be appreciated. I didn't feel pressured, but almost wish I was. However, the service was incredible. What I normally don't like about Italian restaurants is that the pasta claims to be fresh, but cuts and tastes like store bought. Not here! Their fettuccine was soft and buttery, almost melts in your mouth. It's highly complimented by the sweet marinara that is light and delightful. The thin spaghetti was the same. I will always get the fettuccine because I want more noodle when it's that amazing! My son hates pasta, but after I forced him to try a fettuccine noodle, he kept going back to my plate. The calamari wasn't over cooked which made it tender and delightful. Great breading. Amazing sauce with it! The manicotti was in a cream Alfredo sauce that really took you back. It's not store bought! I didn't get the seafood trio because those are hit or miss and I didn't want to be disappointed. But after that, it's a must try when we return. What a gem. Great place for friends, family or a romantic get away from the kids. If you've not been, you need to. We had Sunday lunch at 12:30 and seated immediately. I want to go on a Friday night to check out the ambiance. I'll update when I do, may this Friday? :) read more

Love this wonderful little cafe! The food is fresh and homemade and the staff friendly. My husband loves the savory Frittellas, Stuffed pasta, & lasagnas. I enjoy the eggplant parmigiana and veggie lasagna and we all love the bread read more

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!! The food was sooooo good. Service was incredible esp for a party of 11. Food came out fast. I didn't get pics of all the dishes but highly recommend the breadsticks, seafood pasta and cannoli! Our air b&b recommended and so glad they did! read more

Frittella Italian Cafe - Breadsticks - Italian Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Service was quick and efficient. The food was beyond what should be expected from a small Texas "country" city that gives a home to a piece of Italy. Having had authentic Italian food in the fantastic city of Milan itself, I'd say Frittella's Italian Cafe is the closest thing to the taste of Italy in all of Bryan/College station. I was recommended the lasagna and manicotti along with a fine red wine and their lovely breadsticks which were fantastic. I'm looking forward to coming back these next few days in my stay here to try some new recommendations. read more

Ordered a Primavera Brick Oven Pizza for lunch. It had a light, thin crust. The edges had a nice crunch. The sauce was delicious. It was packed with toppings and gooey, melty cheese. Ordered it online and picked-up at the drive-through. Will definitely order again. Much better than the pizza chains. One of my favorite pizzas in the BCS area. read more

Just okay. Not very flavorful. Bland. The garlic bread app was the most flavor and tasty thing we ate. Lasagna was mostly cheese, felt lacking of basic Italian spices... same for the Fettuccine. We also had Tiramisu and Cheesecake. Overall disappointing and did not have a made from scratch/homemade flavor. read more

First, I seldom leave a negative review as I love to make positive comments, but WHY I didn't listen to the review I read about the thin, dry tasteless chicken piccata I don't know! It's a favorite of my husbands and he can make it WAY better than what I had. He ordered the regular lasagna and it was nothing special just "meh" no flavor really though I did prefer eating some of his than my disappointing meal. My mother had the shrimp scampi she liked it though I know she doesn't like any spicy foods so not sure how the flavor was on that. Sorry but I can't recommend though I remember eating here years ago and it was a great meal. read more

Me and my boyfriend went and it was not that good. The food was flavorless & the atmosphere was weird. I did get a cappuccino and that was yummy. However, the pasta and bread were so bland. Our server was nice, a little quiet but she did work quick. It wasn't busy when we went. Still, we won't be back considering how much the food lacked. read more

Excellent food and good atmosphere. Staff is friendly and professional . Come try them again you will not be disappointed

Trae W and harper were very rude we walked in today and off the bat harper expected us to know where to sit down and just told us sit down no welcoming and Trae just took our order for our drinks and never came back to take our order to order food I never been at a establishment that has been ran so bad and we're never coming back the pasta taste like sink water it's not worth the money or the time read more

Fantastic atmosphere ~ busy, but quiet.. decorated, but spacious.. an aroma of honest flavor and greets you at the door. As a self-described lasagna critic, I gladly hand the dish five stars. Will be returning soon. read more

Service was great. The server who helped us on 2/24 at 3:30ish was super sweet and attentive. The food was not very good. Our family ordered the chicken piccata, Combination, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken piccata had a side of fettuccine Alfredo. They used a very thin cut of chicken breast so it was incredibly dry, even with the lemony sauce. The fettuccine was flavorless. The pepperoni pizza was on the sweeter end, I'm assuming their marinara is just sweet but overall just not tasty. My husband ordered the Combination plate and he said it wasn't very good either. We had an appetizer too, artichoke dip with breadsticks - their breadsticks are not baked but fried, maybe - not too sure? This was just ok. The restaurant was completely empty so I don't think they were too busy. This may just be the food all the time and for that reason, I don't think I'd ever go back. read more
