The place has an extensive wine list and we loved the lovely Pinot noir that was their special on the list. They have lots of European wines but they are also a great spot for trying the local product. The fresh fish was really delicious crisp and well done. The appetizer plates were also delicious. The place is relatively small, so make reservations. It was a hot day when we were there, so be prepared as there is no air conditioning, but you definitely feel like you are in a bar somewhere in Eastern Europe.

The place was bustling with after work diners on a Thursday night. You might need one on busy times. I had a passionfruit daiquiri to start.

We got the Margherita pizza to share as our starter which we both really liked, my husband ordered the risotto for his main and he loved it! I ordered the tagliatelle al ragu which I thought was good but would probably try something else next time. We both ordered the tiramisu for dessert which I thought was the best tiramisu I've ever had!! Yum! We had excellent customer service and we enjoyed this restaurant very much. I would recommend Fratelli to anyone wanting an evening out of delicious Italian food.

The service was lovely and although the menu offered so many delights, we both opted for the fish of the day. Our drinks came quickly, our table was in the corner of the front section and it was a great place to sit, watch the world got by and chat. Our meals came soon - even though we hadn't said we had a time constraint - we had grilled Terakihi fillet with fennel, olives and a beautiful salad. We also ordered a side salad of Rocket and Parmesan. We didn't need a dessert or coffees. By the time we left (just before 7pm) the place was fairly busy, but sitting where we were, we hadn't realised. The entire experience was very enjoyable. I am so pleased my friend chose this place. Thank you Fratelli - I'll be back.

Her disinterest in us as potential customers showed through and we clearly weren't cool enough / dressed expensively enough / had a large enough wallet to warrant her time or being polite. She dismissed us loudly in front of the couple she was serving at the time and then directly to me. She managed to get us through a selection of 5/6 wines in less than 10 minutes. Having just spent several hundred dollars at the prior wine tasting up the road, this was clearly their loss. On to our meal. Unfortunately we ordered our food before the wine tasting. This arrived in dribs and drabs as and when the waitress could be bothered / felt appropriate. The food was quite good, but overpriced compared to the other local restaurants. The waitress was odd, disengaged and bordering on pretentious. She seemed like she was attempting to float around the room in some other worldly plain clearly not the same one as us. I cannot and would not recommend this restaurant, winery or wine. Try one of the many others in Martinborough or the Wairarapa. #alanaestate

Great happy hour specials. $10 cocktails ! However the bartender had no idea of the happy hour special - and couldn't make cocktails.
