Went here for a friend's birthday in February 2024. and it was my first time back after their…read moreremodel. It was winter so we didn't get to enjoy the outside area but I would love to come back and check it out. I shared one of the salads with a friend and it was so refreshing and delicious. We also shared the pesto chicken pizza which at first I was unsure about. It looks like it may have been too cheesy, but the flavor of all the ingredients in the pesto together nicely. We had leftovers and it was even better second day. A few of my friends ordered pasta dishes. I had stayed away from this given other pictures I've seen. They put so much sauce on the pasta that I feel like the pasta gets lost. When my friend's dishes came out, they did have quite a bit of sauce. If you're really looking for pasta, I would consider one of the baked pasta dishes. They looked pretty good and my friends said they were tasty.

So I was honestly back and forth between 2 and 3 stars on this one. I hadn't been here in close to…read morea decade, if not longer, and came here with a friend on a Friday night. The place was pretty steady in the bar area but not crazy packed. I get that this is a local spot, and I love supporting my local businesses, but this one was a bit uncomfortable. Everybody in there stared at us as we walked in and walked around the bar to find a table. Like long stares that followed us as we moved around. We both commented on it as we took our seats. I've been to places that obviously have a regular crowd when I'm clearly an outsider, but they've at least been nice and welcoming. This didn't feel that way. Nobody outwardly acted like they wanted us to leave or anything, but it was still really weird. We each ordered a beer and took some time to look over the menu. They have a lot of options, and we both each decided to go with the smaller 7" pizza. I love that they do have a smaller pizza option for an individual, but so often I find the "personal" pizzas might feed a small toddler, but certainly not an adult who loves pizza. This was a lovely size and I was full when done. Each pizza came out on the kind of paper plate you might buy at the grocery store. We both thought our pizzas tasted like a frozen pizza you might buy at the grocery store, but honestly I really love frozen pizza so I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way. Nothing remarkable, but it was good and I ate my whole pizza. It was a torrential downpour while we were there, so we were considering getting another drink and trying to wait it out. But then our server dropped off our bill without saying anything else or asking if there was anything else we needed. We already felt a bit outsider-ish and this was just kind of the final reminder that we weren't regulars here so we decided to pay the bill and go. While this wouldn't be my first option to come back to, I'd happily eat here again if someone else wanted to drop in.

We decided it was time to go in person especially given it is only about a mile down the road from us. We called for a reservation on a Saturday evening which looks like it was needed since it is a very small space. Even with the reservation we opted to eat at the bar since the two top they offered us was shoved in a bleak corner. The bartender was friendly and helpful and sitting at the bar gave us the option of watching a few football games on TV. After ordering some beers we ordered the Fat Uncle Tony pizza, though there were many other tempting choices. The large pizza was very tasty though the bacon was hard to find. The prices were similar to our usual Glass Nickel. We will definitely be back since there are some other pizzas we want to sample.

And it's close to our house. And I drove past it for years. To Koffee Kup. To Pancake Cafe. To Luke's. All great. I didn't go here because in the boys' words it "looked sus". And it does. It looks like a divey bar on the outside. And unsurprisingly it is on the inside too. But What it IS is amazing food wise. Everyone talks about the French toast. Having never had RumChata in a cocktail I can't comment but that toast is OFF THE CHARTS. But so is the biscuits and gravy. A ton of meat. Service is strained but lovely. And when you see what that cook is working with you're even more impressed. A 6'X4' cooking station and you make this? Wow. My only complaint is the bacon. Not great. Not actually good. Worth a drive to Wittenberg to buy cases of odd cut Nueskes and this place is almost James Beard Award worthy. Appearances are deceiving. Do it!

Super easy pickup. We ordered the tik tik boom and the not on the first date pizzas, unsliced so that the toppings stayed on better. It's nice that they make this recommendation when ordering. It's a good Detoit style, which we likened to a focaccia with toppings and a nice crust of cheese around the sides. The tik tik boom was our favorite, as the toppings paired well together and it's a unique flavor. The not on the first date had my favorite sauce of the two as even though it didn't say it, there seemed to be a little lime in the crema. Overall, would recommend!

But the reason we're here is for pizza... and I was disappointed as most of the bottom of the pizza was burnt. From above it looked fantastic. But the taste was burnt, and it didn't settle well in my stomach which I dealt with when I got home. I tried to have a couple slices on the inside but when you ate any of the pieces, there was a heavy bitter burnt taste. The pizzeria did offer to replace my pizza but i've always been fearful of something coming back that maybe worse with spit or something. I just feel food should have been looked at by the head chef before sending out of the kitchen. We may comeback next time, but it would just be for drinks and appetizers.

As you enter, there is a decent sized bar off to your right with a few high top tables. To your left is the dining room, which is cozy and intimate. Someone at a table near us was having what looked like a margarita, and that made me want a margarita. So, instead of getting a bottle of wine, we both got a margarita. It was not what the other person was drinking, but oh my was this one of the best margaritas I've had in recent memory! It was SO good. It had a lot of ice in it, so next time I might ask for it straight up just so I can savor it and not let the ice water it down. We also had delicious bread brought to the table with a plate of olive oil and balsamic. The bread was cut into nice little pieces, was warm, and had a delightful texture where the outside was slightly crisped but not enough to impede your bite and the inside was just warm and soft. The have a nice, varied menu and it was hard to decide what to get. I was really craving marinara sauce, so I ended up going with the Cappellaci Di Salsiccia which was a meat and cheese enclosed pasta with marinara. And it was delicious. It also came out very beautifully plated. My dining mate ordered the Penne Pollo e Pesto and loved it. I'm not wild about pesto, but had to sample a bit and the way the pesto clung to the penne was really tasty. They also have a ragu lasagna and chicken piccata on their menu that I can't wait to try. As we were leaving, I saw a sign with two of their featured fall cocktails and both sounded incredible. I will have to be back for all of these things!!

If you haven't eaten at Fratelli's, make a point of visiting there. You won't be disappointed.

The crust was a cracker crust and not super salty. It even had some bubbles in it, which is my favorite part of a pizza! The sauce was also a nice balance to the cheese and toppings. Pretty good pizza overall. The thing that we found most interesting is the number of slices they managed to cut. We got medium pizzas and there were probably 25-30 squares. Staff was super friendly when we came to pickup the order and everything was ready on time. Very efficient service for the small location.
